But that's exactly how he's portrayed in like every battle in the Metroid series.
Okay so is Bowser playable? Shouldn't he just be a boss as well? Also comics are part of the Metroid canon as well, and if I'm not mistaken influenced Other M.
You forgot that they have 2 of the nicest community.
I see your point. It's more of a hypothetical exercise to give us something to fall back on in case the worst should happen.
Honestly, its probably better that K Rool wasn't in the original roster. Because of the ballot Nintendo sees the love for him, and it appears that he will be getting revived in the DK series. Which wouldn't have ever happened if he was already in the game !
Maybe that a certain Luma with a wahstache can help to understand? @

There was a rumor that said Sakurai didn't add Krool because he couldn't think up a moveset for him.
Fair enough.
-Not touching 64 because Smash wasn't really established as a thing back then however, King Rool was absent from Melee, Brawl, and this game's main roster. In that time DK has thrived, died and rose again. I don't see why he has never made an appearance despite being a big as Bowser or Ganon.
I wouldn't have a problem if the characters were different and or better than the originals the problem is Dr. Mario is bad, Lucina is similar, Dark Pit is horrible and I love how Medusa got passed up for him. Also in Dark Pit's case as well as all the others if you're not going to represent them properly don't do it at all. So in short the doctrine he adopted and applied to Ridley should be used for other characters. The clones look like fluff, fluff is bad.
See if this were 2010 I would have believed him too, but after receiving a BFA in 3D modeling, I don't. Ridley and Charizard aren't that different the only difference is that Charizard is fat and Ridley is anorexic. Take away the belly and some inches off the neck by bending it, and you're there.
Again fair enough. I love Kaptain K Rool, The blunderbuss, I feel is very important. Also personally the look of the costume is how King K Rool should look, however I personally feel that nostrils should be added because that just makes logical sense. I also feel that all, yes all of his costumes should be available.
What other characters are there?I gotta agree with the group that find the hypothetical doomsday scenarios somewhat annoying. While it might prepare us for the "worst", some people run with it like it were a real possibility. Possibility =/= plausibility.
In other news, I Stumbled on some sort of Sakurai complaint page made by some very meticulous japanese fans...
Can't read japanese, but google translate provides some interesting tidbits. Most relevant to us, the DK series complaint section notably has King K. Rool's absence as the first complaint (K. Rool: クルール; King K. Rool: キングクルール).
K. Rool actually has his very own page.
They appear particularly bothered by the "brother" mistake in K. Rool's Brawl trophy.
Looks like we're not the only ones to notice this, either:
Some complaints on the page seem (seem since I'm using google translate) a little bit exaggerated, though.
This is actually information from the "Anti-Sakurai" thread on 2ch. I get a lot of interviews/ source material from them because they always properly source things. They are also really salty about everything. I remember a week ago they mentioned how Sakurai said there were 3 generations of Donkey Kong, when there are actually only 2 (Cranky and the current DK). It'd be fun to translate what they say, but as of right now I think translating the original source materials they use is priority. Two of the translators on SG are working on translating more stuff related to Melee right now actually.Maybe that a certain Luma with a wahstache can help to understand? @
But isn't Sakurai right on that? Cranky > DK Jr. > current DK. The manual for DKC mentions that the current DK is the original's (Cranky's) grandson, and there's an old, I think, Nintendo of Japan site relating to the Donkey Kong Country games, that supposedly mentioned how it was Cranky who passed his own name to his grandson.
Brother, huh? Say, wasn't K. Lumsy from DK 64 supposed to be some kind of brother to K. Rool?
*Research*
Wouldn't surprise me if that's true. I haven't heard that before, but then again I haven't spent years studying Kong Canon (Sorry, was just looking at the Palutena Guidance for Ganondorf). Nintendo and canon don't really mix well together. Even for Ganondorf, Sakurai says there are multiple Ganon's just like there are multiple Links and Zeldas. I believe that is wrong and there is only one Ganon, just across multiple timelines. @vaanrose would be the best person to ask for actual Ganon Canon.
I really want to do a comparison of DK 64 in English/ Japanese. It's interesting because the original language is English, so there are some differences that exist in the Japanese version. Like K. Rool apparently says "Do you have any last requests before you die" (In Japanese) in DK64 which is really awesome.
But Donkey Croc, initials D.C, looking at his claws, could be one of his in-laws.
I lol'd at the complaint that said Villager looks like a psychopath (I kid you not lol)
I like how they want K.Rool to return in a DK game with his blunderbuss as well
That I can speak to. Ganondorf is the same across all canons - the one from Ocarina is the original, he's just locked away at the end of the game, and comes back in the others because of the power of the Triforce. Link and Zelda do get reincarnated, but Ganondorf does not. Naturally, Palutena's got it wrong. But then again, she never struck me as a goddess of wisdom, and now her DLC fighter dialogue, especially in regards to Lucas, makes her and Pit look like raging idiots.
If it took you until no to realize Pit isn't very bright you surely haven't played Uprising
Dude is straight up illiterate. (At least in the english version. no idea about japanese) 
i think that could make him unique, Make him the biggest playable fighter in the smash series. but not to big
Inb4 he has another brother called K. Iller. Though Nintendo would probably avoid that since it's too edgy for the kiddies to handle.
The current one at least, because if Ridley gets in (which I hope he does), I can't imagine him smaller than K.Rool.
If they can handle K. Rool's scary stare at Armydillo and him feeding one of his henchmen to a giant Klaptrap in DK64 then I'm sure he would be no problem either. Plus those mine cart rides in that game as well, remember the one in Creepy Castle?
Most people here never were 100% sure; it was mostly other fanbases saying that. And I also object to "the" because there's going to be at least two.
Yes, no one would ever forget about the Creepy Castle and its many maniacal laughter tracks in the song.
Woah, put that picture away! I'm getting chills just thinking about it. I almost soiled myself just glancing at it it was that scary.Do you really find this menacing?
However, I agree with you and I understand that it isn't is reduced size that made him He-Man.
Not going to lie, but that Ganondorf face is the face of nightmares.Do you realley find this menacing?
However, I agree with you and I understand that it isn't is reduced size that made him He-Man.
