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

[Welshy91]

'Eh, DK doesn't fit that aesthetic very well. DKC is more about vibrant living worlds than things like that, Kirby and Yoshi fit that aesthetic well.. DK not so much.

LET ME DREAM. Plus you know K. Rool would be cute as **** as a yarn plush.

 

[Tortilla Noggin]

LET ME DREAM. Plus you know K. Rool would be cute as **** as a yarn plush.

He totally would. The three existing plushes (two released, one prototype from a cancelled line-up) are all cute in their own ways.

Donkey Kong Country K. Rool plush

Donkey Kong Country TV series K. Rool plush

Cancelled DK64 K. Rool prototype plush
(Source.)

I really wish I could get hold of that first one - that's my favourite of the three.

 

[IMainKingKRool]

DK64 was my favorite DK game back in the day, actually. Maybe it's just my inner coming out with the whole "greed is good" mentality, but I got a real satisfaction out of grabbing up the obscene amount of collectibles they crammed into every stage. I can see how it would be seen as excessive though xD

And yeah, the music is flippin' awesome, as is the norm with DK games.

[CannonStreak]

Well, Kutthroats; It has been a full 4 months since we last received a Direct. Here's hoping we get some sort of news next week (I consider it extremely likely with the whole 4 hour maintenance going on).

4 hour maintenance? What do you mean?

 

[JaidynReiman]

4 hour maintenance? What do you mean?

On Monday everything is going down in Nintendo's network for a full four hours. That's... an awful long time.

[Richard 89]

To keep your minds away from the leaks and possible news next week, I'd like to share a strange dream I had last night that you folks can interpret. In the dream, King K. Rool was added as two separate characters: Luigi Form and Mario Form.
The Luigi Form K. Rool looked like Sceptile mixed with Mewtwo except he had a red scorpion tail and large, red, lower jaw fangs; similar to a cobra's, but coming from the lower jaw and just red. I didn't see his moveset, but I saw all of his taunts and they were all Mewtwo's taunts. In the dream, I vaguely remember seeing a cinematic of how Luigi became this form and it had explained that he had turned that way similar to the way the Highborne Night Elves from Warcraft turned into Naga.
The Mario Form K. Rool was just Kaptain K. Rool, except he turned into a voluptuous, large breasted, bikini wearing anime chick whenever he taunted. The camera would zoom in on him while he was taunting and he would do explicit things with bananas while speaking Japanese.

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

Re-watching the K. Rool boss fight from DKC1 has reignited my hope that Sakurai makes a great render for K. Rool. Whenever I feel doubt in this regard, I remember how he implemented Megaman. Megaman was such a love letter to fans of his games, with animations mirroring his NES appearance, and moves from Megamans 1 through 9, that I'm just awestruck by how much commitment was put into the character. Not to mention, Megaman also came to Smash as a result from fan ballots. When K. Rool makes it into Smash, I'm expecting him to look like he just got hopped off Gangplank Galleon from DKC1 and into Smash Bros. Wii U, with nothing altered save for a beautiful HD paint job for his shiny krocobody.

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

I think it's time for more questions again:
1-Did you watched the cartoon back when it first aired?
2-Did you always knew that K.Rool was a popular Smash choice in Japan?
3-What would be your reaction if K.Rool was playable in Mario Kart 9?
4-What are you going to do when Smash 4 speculation/character DLC is over?

1. Nope, wasn't born.
2. I guessed he was pretty popular in Japan.
3. When we get Diddy back then I will be excited (****ing Mario Kart 8 devs thinking ****ing PINK GOLD PEACH WILL APPEASE THE FANS! Don't even get series staples like Diddy, Bowser Jr., or ****ing Birdo)
4. Smash 5 anyone?

1- Yes, I even rented the Curse Of The Crystal Coconut movie from Best Buy when it first came out
2- No but I'm glad to know he is now
3- MUST BUY NOW
4- Just be happy with K. Rool getting in and patiently wait to see if I'll be interested in Smash 5.

1. A bit. I wasn't too into it. I enjoyed some episodes a lot, but overall I was focused more on other tasks than TV.

2. I figured he was somewhat popular, maybe a bit less than say King Dedede. I didn't realize his appeal in Japan (or even internationally) was that big compared to the rest of the Nintendo characters that aren't straight deconfirmed as DLC though.

3. Pretty psyched. The last time I was psyched for any new roster addition in Mario Kart was with Double Dash.

4. Everything else I'm doing right now. I'm also planning on getting into fighting games somewhat competitively, getting through my 400 game long video game backlog (plus my movie, documentary, and TV show backlog), as well as personal/private things.

Well, Kutthroats; It has been a full 4 months since we last received a Direct. Here's hoping we get some sort of news next week (I consider it extremely likely with the whole 4 hour maintenance going on).

Honestly... it feels like this...

1) I didn't watch it regularly, though I caught it on TV before. I didn't like singing or monkeys, so I never gave it a fair chance. I've watched some of it recently and it even made me laugh a couple times.

2) I figured Japan had no interest in Western-designed characters in Smash, since the only two so far are Donkey Kong (Rare influence), and Diddy.

3) Overdue since Mario Kart Wii! Surprised it hasn't happened yet, especially with some of the off-the-wall character choices in recent games. His chances of being in a Mario series crossover are as good as or better than his chances in a Nintendo-wide crossover, aren't they?

4) Celebrate the end of a job well done by Sakurai and his team. My regular life will go on, and I'll still play Smash 4 with my pals from time to time. My moonlighting on this site will probably come to a hiatus, since all I will have left are gameplay/matchup threads, and I prefer to lurk those rather than post. Regarding Smash's future and speculating/daydreaming about that, there are some ideas I have that I'd love to type up about what new things the series can do, but it will have to wait.

It'll probably look like a Kremling.

 

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

Maybe K. Rool would add a kart that just makes the player like they're driving a barrel, giving him the resemblance of a Klobber. Bonus points if the barrel had a face drawn on it, like in DKC3.

I know none of you care about this, but I still wanted to share it for sometime. I have recently been playing around with project m and some mods. There really are some great mods out there. So when looking around for some on brawl vault, I found a K. Rool one. It includes the textures, PSA (moveset), and more. I have not gotten to use it, but I recommend that you check it out just to see what it is like. It seems a little rough, but it is the beta so... yeah.

For the Kart, I'm surprised no-one's suggested a Mine-Kart, admittedly his minions and the Kongs use it more than he does, but it is an iconic DK thing. Also a miniature Flying Kroc Yoshi bike style could be cool

How does everyone feel about K. Rool's personal hovercraft from King of Swing returning? Eggman has one! Bowser has one! K. Rool gets to be like the cool kids!

 

[InASnowBoundLand]

Nay. Too generic. If K. Rool needs a way to get around, his helicopter pack should become a mainstay. That is wackier and more unique.

B-but... just imagine K. Rool as... as a Bowser Jr. clone. Then he'd be in the game w-with minimal effort and still be canon and one of the most unique characters would have more mileage in their moveset!!! Yes... oh Sakurai please..

I am utterly terrified to see this hover car exists.

Pretty sure you can make that jump. Which level is it again?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Molehill Mayhem iirc, I got stuck there for a while.The jump IS possible, but very tricky. Try memorizing the enemy layouts so you can keep an extra Kong with you to take the hit

There's no such thing.


The level in question you're thinking of is Millstone Mayhem. And the actual level is Temple Tempest. (I went into the game and tried Millstone Mayhem first and it wasn't correct.)


Anyway, even with only one Kong I made that jump just by doing a running rolling jump. Then I got bit by the jumping Kritters right after it lol. Keep in mind, on my Wii U's save file I've got 101% completion.

This is doing the rounds in the other threads that I frequent a the moment, and if nothing else it's an interesting distraction from the lack of news at the moment. I'll leave the video out, though, since it's by that Etika channel.

Anyway, a chap on Reddit claims to have shaved four pixels off of each character portrait on Smash 3DS' character select screen, and found that making the portraits square results in six more spaces becoming available.

It may very well mean nothing, and probably does, but I thought that it was an interesting little thing nonetheless.

I want this to happen just because the actual series are in better organization.

 

[Yellowlord]

Ok, so I've decided to predict who I believe will be those 6 DLC character slots (if it turns out to be true, anyway, but this is just a guess).

In no particular order or ranking (with some text to distinguish them as Sakurai once did):

1. King K. Rool (Big Burly Krokodile)

2. Bandana Dee (Little Spear Wielder)

3. Isaac (Blonde Spell Master)

4. Wolf (Ferocious Melee Attacker) OR (Stellar Canine Brawler) :3

5. Shantae (Magic Genie Girl)

6. Rayman (Limbless Punching Hero)

To me, this is a very reasonable roster with a variety of characters that I think everybody would be happy with (although that's an understatement in a way). What do you guys think? Let's not start any arguments or anything though; that's not what I am intending.

Also, this is my 400th post! What a coincidence! :3

 

[BKupa666]

If that's how many DLC spots we have left, it's tough to invent scenarios where K. Rool doesn't fill a measly one of them. Unless all of the extra ones get sold out to the muhrelevant-est bidder, but even then, if we get DLC extending into next year, K. Rool could even fill one of those spaces alongside the release of a new DK game.

I like your list.
Somwhat. I see Inkling also being quite possible. As well as maybe Chibi-Robo. (wishfull thinking on the last one.)

If that was the case, though. I will believe K. Rool to be a safe bet of those 6.

Shave six pixels of each icon vertically and you can fit a seventh row. We could be doing this forever, until selecting a character means placing the token on the right pixel.

We'll just have to assume that there always be some unused space on the screen.

Well, yes, exactly but the difference in this case is that currently, the portraits are apparently 40x44 pixels. That's why it's interesting what happens when you make them square instead of not-quite-square.

Like I said to begin with, though, it probably means nothing.

Reasonably, six is probably the max. And no, you can't do it indefinitely, because eventually the icons are too small to fit four tokens on each character (8 on the Wii U).


I don't think we'll be getting six, but its definitely possible now that they may not have a separate page for more characters and will instead just do this; shave a tiny bit off of each character and squeeze them in.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

Here's how it's looking if three is indeed our number of remaining DLC characters (still not certain). I feel badly for any 3DS players who can't stand disorganization.

And no, you can't do it indefinitely, because eventually the icons are too small to fit four tokens on each character (8 on the Wii U).

I'm not sure if I communicated well enough, but that's precisely what I was joking about.
