I've been playing through DKC2 again for the last couple weeks. My opinions on the upcoming Smash have slightly shifted since then. Previously, my most wanted character was King K. Rool and I absolutely hated the idea of Dixie being playable and swiping his spot. Now... K. Rool is still my most wanted newcomer and I want him even more, but I'm much more receptive to the idea of Dixie. She's not breaking into my list of most wanted newcomers, but she's gone from a "Burn it with fire and bring me K. Rool" to a "yeah, cool, but where's K. Rool?"
Anyway, I'm much more receptive to the idea of both of them getting in than I was before; I still doubt this will happen, however. They're still Kong-petitors, and, as much as I want K. Rool to win the race, I wouldn't be TOO heartbroken if he didn't, ya hear? Remember: if he fails to make it this time, he's pretty much THE guy for Smash 5. No one else will come close to his level of support. And if he doesn't make it, we start the Krew up right away and make it known that we want him.
