Hello Everyone! Kuthroaths and Kremlings alike!
My name's Giga Kaiju, and recently I just joined after quite a long time of knowing the page/forum years back aside from, ehem, 'lurking' ever since the days of the beggining from the Pic of the Day, decomfirmation of characters and support for them. And from then, I have had knowledge of the following of many of them, on the top of my head, for Ridley and the one were talking about here, the one that takes the spotlight, the main topic for this thread and the one that I see as plausible as of these days with the amount of feedback he has been getting from quite awhile back as well as staying strong with aid by its followers: King K. Rool.
And well, I must say that apart from the Leader of the Space Pirates himself, (who I still think that still deserves to be in the game playable, instead of a 'just a boss enemy', and hopefully his chance comes sooner or later) K.Rool has to be one, aside from being the only remaining NEWCOMER with the opportunity near in its scaly claws, has yet to have a set role in the game with the ballot as a game-changer, with the most support, followers, and feedback around not only the forum but from the online side of things considering the many characters that are in the running in the form of Shantae, Isaac, Shovel Knight, and many more. He is the one that not only has the most as I said, but the one I think has the better chance to make it if things like 'fan-service' characters are all about with the ballot going at it yet close to the end.
I know that as of right now, things have not been the best for many characters and its followers with the expectation, the waiting, the decyphering process of knowing just what exactly Sakurai, his team and Nintendo have in mind for what take sthe spotlight both for the series and the company as a whole, but at the same time, I AM aware that what we CAN do is to show our support as much as we can and want. To demonstrate that we, as an audience, as the public, and most importantly, as FANS, WANT to see something take the attention for entertaiment.
And well, isn't that what the support is all about, to make our voices heard? To let Nintendo know that we WANT to see our idols be part of the game (or games considering to their respective franchises) we love to play?
Well, we MAY be in for luck and at the same time uncertain about what could happen next, but then again, that's what the discussions and hypothetical conversations are what this forum is about.
Be that as it may, and with this so 'serious and future' first post on this thread as an introduction here, I just want to say that I am on your side as well. I'm a supporter to K.Rool.
I have been a fan of him since the DK64 days, and slowly but surely becoming a favorite of mine since learning about him, and would like to see our fellow Kremling King to be part of Smash as a playable villain (as that is something that lacks off, and needs to change in the series too).
So, just passing by around here to not only join the support and just get right to it after the lenghty first post, but to say:
COUNT ME IN...!
Hopefully luck is in our side.
TL;DR: I like King K. Rool. I want to see him playable in the game. I'm joining the Kuthroats, and support the King.
K.Rool4Smash.
(Now that is the first long post I have posted since joining SmashBoards. That was a thing. Hehe... But if it is for a villain, reptilian in nature, then it is worth it.)
