K. Rool's Kremling Kutthroats: PM BKupa666 for an Invite to the New K. Rool Thread

[Louie G.]

Good work on the OP update, as usual, Kupa. Especially with the annoying changes brought upon by the recent reformatting.

Here's an idea: How about K. Rool's prone and crouching animations are the exact same pose?

This would allow the player to fake out their opponent. One could simply pretend to be proned by an attack, and non-attentive opponents would be fooled into approaching, only to meet a quick attack as an ambush out of a crouching position. It'd be a way to make use of his dastardly trickery without actually getting the Kredits involved, and thus freeing up his Final Smash for something else.

I love the idea, but I love the Kredits as well.
I don't see why we can't have both.

Oh? What did it do?
Did Emerl go beserk Gizoid mode since the opponent "showed him their power"?

No, he copied Gamma's (or was it Omega, I forgot which one what it's name was) death explosion.

Omega is still alive

 

[BKupa666]

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!

Go crazy.

Omega is still alive

So is Gamma. Or, at least Chaos Gamma lives.
What Game & Watcher is referring to is Gamma's special KO animation in Sonic Battle, where he self-destructs and can damage opponents by surprise.

Let me describe this decade for Super Smash Bros. For the WiiU & 3DS...

2011: The (Games') Announcement
2012: The Fellowship of the (Smash) Brothers
2013: The Two (Newcomer) Trailers
2014: The Return of the (Kremling) King

So where does the equivalent to "The Hobbit" come in?

The equivalent needs to be a retro

Something related to Mewtwo, I believe. A past adventurer recalling his tales of old.

@BKupa
Looks like only mods can edits Thread titles at the moment.

Just message me, and I'll edit it in.

 

[BKupa666]

Hey, look, a new thread title! Thanks FalKoopa!

In terms of K. Rool's tail, I'd much rather he have one than not to use during tail whips, and in terms of how long it is, it depends on which design Sakurai prefers for the character. In the end, though, I just want the character in the game, period, tail or no tail.

That is essentially my point of view on the matter as well.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I'm digging the new title a lot!

And for the tail, short, stubby tail or bust. If his tail isn't short, I don't want him to have a tail at all.

 

[Deleted member]

I like the new title!

As for the tail, I don't care. I'm not that picky.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

Long-tailed K. Rool just looks awkward.

However, I'm sure that is mostly attributable to our own conditioning. We've always seen him with little or no tail. One has to admit that, as a crocodile, K. Rool having a long tail would make much more sense. But aside from some very general physical characteristics, the Kremlings hardly look like crocodilians at all.

 

[BKupa666]

Those tails K. Rool gets in realistic DeviantArt depictions are almost certainly not getting into Smash, thankfully. His DK64 tail length would pretty much be the maximum length to expect.

It's interesting to see the responses to the tail question, since, way early in this thread's history, it seemed pretty unanimous that the best K. Rool design featured his tail. Now, a lot of people either seem indifferent or don't want much of a tail, period.

 

[APC99]

Don't know...

This is what I'd prefer.

 

[Deleted member]

Don't really care if King K. Rool has a tail or not, just as long as the tail doesn't make his design awkward.

 

[Johnknight1]

DK64 tail > no tail > other options

So where does the equivalent to "The Hobbit" come in?

2011: The (Games') Announcement.

But if you want to break the smallest and first part up into 3 parts like Peter "I make overly long movies" Jackson (remind me why people like him=??? He literally did nothing great outside of the original Lord of the Rings trilogy), it can be:

2009: The (Smash) Sequel: An Unexpected Result
2010: The (Smash) Sequel: The Desolation of the 3DS
2011: The (Smash) Sequel: Announced and Back Again

 

[BKupa666]

Don't know...

This is what I'd prefer.

Can you tell if he has a tail in that render? If he does, it's hidden way behind his cape (which, to be fair, it would be in any scenario). I know he has one in that dashing sprite posted a few pages back. That, I think, would look fine in-Smash.

Hey look, my signature is helping. And on that note, I hope he keeps that tail.

 

[AncientTobacco]

K. Rool should have a tail. He looks silly without it.

Honestly, they should just use the Country/64 design. Every change that's been made since then has just made him look worse.

Oh yeah, you can add me to the Kutthroats. I'd definitely like to see K. Rool in SSB4, but I'm not expecting much.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Another good reason to support K. Rool is because he'll look sweet as hell in HD on the Wii U. 'Dem scales, dat golden gut.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

I forgot how painful it is to look at modern scale-less K. Rool when you compare them like that. Agreed that he should have a tail too though.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

You know, I actually sort of like the Paon design, but I do wish they'd bring back the scales. Without them, he looks too roly-poly. More like a mutant frog than a crocodile.

 

[HylianHeroBigBoss]

which makes sense considering his almost origin in battletoads

 

[Louie G.]

I'm starting to have more faith in K. Rool than even Dixie Kong.
He's well requested and has the potential to be far more unique than Dixie.
The second half is the important one.

Especially considering that the four announced newcomers are really unique (Mega Man with his weapons and projectiles, Rosalina for her Lumas, Villager for his items, and WFT for her fitness moves). If uniqueness is a major factor to get in SSB4, then excluding K. Rool would be a giant mistake.

I have more confidence in K. Rool than Dixie Kong, though I find them to be on equal footing.

 

[SmashShadow]

He has scales but sadly they're very faint and hold no depth. I wish they'd take aspects of both and use them. I prefer the coloring, jewel, legs, feet (The originals look like they'd been stung by bees), and cape of the Paon one while the gold, crown size, bulky stomach, and scales of the original.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I'd expect him to have some awesome looking scales if he was in Smash 4, seeing as how almost every other character is given more considerably detail on their design in Smash than they usually have in their own franchise.

 

[Pacack]

With how high-quality DK's fur is, I'd definitely expect some HD scales.

 

[Deleted member]

Wha?

 

[Starcutter]

Wha?

although it doesn't really say it's battletoads. I'm just going to take his word for that. I do remember hearing that though.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, I saw that pic. But Battletoads is the part I didn't hear either.

So K. Rool is the long lost Battletoad? Wartz?
.....OH MY GOD.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

[König Nickerchen]

I really hope they add King. K. Rool in Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS. But his chances are very slim, the new villian in Tropical Freeze looks more like a walrus. Its really sad that Krystals and K. Rools chances to be in this game are very slim because they were both from Rare games. =(. But I really hope both are in the New Smash games.

But they both aren't owned by Rare. Krystal has very slim chances due to the Star Fox series being considered "complete." This is just a race between King K. Rool and Dixie Kong.

This is nonesense. They may have had their first appearance in Rare games, but they still had appearances after the Rare-Nintendo time. The only argument linked to Rare would be the rights-topic which can be easily answered as both Krystal and K.Rool were in games not made by Rare afterwards.

The new villain of DKC:TF may be a walrus, but it will be a oneshot just as it was with the tikis in DKCR.

 

[BKupa666]

Totally filing away that "scales and tails" thread title for later...

K. Rool not being owned by Rare and still being a good newcomer choice were already covered well...I'll just throw in that, no, it's not a "race" between him and Dixie. Thus far, we only know that dissimilar characters are in competition within the big series Sakurai consciously doesn't want flooding the roster (Mario and Pokemon). Donkey Kong isn't one of those yet.
