Don't you mean "in his SNES days"? At least to me he used to look much more threatening back then, whereas now he just comes off as silly.

lol yes. I totally agree, he does look much more threatening. Maybe a mixture between the two, which I am not sure how that would work.

Users on DKVine have said that the Overview image in the OP is a combination between the two, which seems true enough.

I like K.Rool's new design, ..matches with almost any other Mario, DK or Nintendo characters.. while his old design is more a "RareWare" thing, principally when you compare artworks with Killer Instinct, Banjo-Kazooie and such.
It's mostly just the render which makes it seem so obviously like a Rareware design. I can guarantee you that he'd still look very fitting within the Nintendo universe if his eye was still as infected, he had a golden belly, you could see his scales, and his crown was as big as before. The two designs are actually very similar, the old design just has some touches which looks better, at least in my opinion, the only thing that creates the illusion that they're very different is the years in between the rendering and the advancement in technology in between.

I really love the model in the header image, would really love if that's how K. Rool looks in SSB4.

Yes. I prefer Rare's design when he actually had a tail. He just looked more...Detailed and menacing.

He better have a tail and a golden belly. Oh, and please for the love of jeebus don't use the original's feet.

K. Rool: I may not be like I once was, but I'm still one bad kroc!!
You forgot the "ass" after "bad" ;)

Also reading through the last few pages one more time, I'm a little less worried. K. Rool is one of the main reasons I'm potentially excited about these games. (Wii U and 3DS Sm4sh). It's his big shot at making an epic comeback. And to be honest, I'd adore to see K. Rool smash Peach's skull in with his blunderbuss from DKC2, or even that scepter from Sluggers. XD

And someone mentioned a mix of his old and new designs? How's this for a try? (from my Brawl hack)

I like the model, but I can't tell if it has a tail. Can we see it in motion?

I gave him back his golden belly. ;D

And I'd love to show it in motion. Give me a sec, ok? No tail, however.

I don't think that his recent appearences could give something interesting in terms of moveset anyway.. what you think? a Final Smash with him a giant form like in Jungle Climber?
For his down B, maybe he can pluck spiked mines from the ground and lob them into the air like he did in his Jungle Climber boss battle. They stay on the field and explode when anything comes in contact with them.

Robotic? D: I just tried to copy the movement from DKC. I'll see what I can do. :)
The way his head gradually turns and his expression and mouth remain constant just remind me of the Splash Mountain animatronics from Disney World a little bit. It's nothing that's your fault, considering the difficulty and relative lack of resources involved. I'm impressed with what you've done thus far.

I made a ****-ton of edits. :) I'll showcase it later. Which reminds me, I should go to Brawl Workshop and make a K. Rool PSA thread. XD

Anyway, I'm confident we'll get Diddy and/or Dixie (and being in "as a duo") when TF comes out. K. Rool, if when present, WILL be an unlockable, and will be revealed later rather than sooner.

Wow, pretty nice job. I love the animation as well. Very faithful to the original.

About that scepter. That might not be a bad idea. Would anyone else like to see him use a scepter for some of his melee attacks?

For melee attacks, I think that he should either use the Blunderbuss or the scepter. Either one would make sense really.

Personally, I want to have all of his personas to get equal representation in K. Rool's attacks rather than limiting them to a special or a single attack. That would make K. Rool rather fun in my eyes.

I respect your stance but I want the exact opposite.

There is a thread speaking of "The King is back!" and talking about D3. However, there can only be one king. If Sakurai were to put K.Rool in the game, we could have the fight of the kings ;)

And as we all know, a true king has his own crown ;D

K. Rool using the scepter? Maybe he could, but I would prefer his attacks from the main DK games get priority. It feels as though swinging a disjointed weapon is something any old character could do, whereas bumbling insanity is K. Rool's thing.

The scepter really isn't one of his iconic weapons, but maybe it could be implemented for a single standard attack? I mean, of course priority should be given to his DKC gimmicks like the jetpack and the blunderbuss, so make them specials, but the scepter could work to maybe give K. Rool an unusually fast B-Air or something like that if he just pulls it out really quickly. Would certainly add to his unpredictability factor.

Here's to the one who suggested a belly attack. :)



Anyway, I'd be curious to see some designs you guys can come up with for a blend of Rare and Paon K. Rool.

Can you give me the context of that image?

As in, is that a PSA, and what's the deal with Sandbag; is that just the item or is that a hack too?

I remember you asking if you could use my idea for a dash attack. I am most pleased.

Heh, sorry for spamming your thread like that, BKupa. XD But I figured since it's K. Rool it was kinda relevant. XD

Yup, it's a PSA, all right, and Sandbag is, well, the punching bag. XD

With any luck, it'll be **** Face K. Rool before long.

TCRhade, do you have a GIF of the belly attack as well?

Hey, I love your icon, BTW!

And ok, once I finish it. I was just testing when I took that snapshot.
Thanks! And please, continue to post your K. Rool images in here as much as you'd like. Until Diddy gets revealed and Tropical Freeze comes out, it's not as though there'll be that much new stuff to talk about anyhow.

Fear not, I drew an amazing picture of K. Rool that I'll allow the rest of you to marvel at should things get slow. And by marvel, I mean pity.

All right, you got it! :3 It's finished anyhow. I'll get that GIF for ya ASAP. :)

Okay, so the gist of it is that he slightly hops forward with his belly exposed. Here he is starting it up in the middle of his Dash...

Then BAM! Lotsa knockback.

Landing after it's done.

K. Rool and I share the same sentiments for Toad.

LOL, the game chose Toad, not me. lol. I have no animosity toward him, except in Strikers, where I hate everybody. :p

Still excited for Tropical Freeze, though, even with no Kremlings again.

I'm just saying, the gameplay and camera angles look absolutely sick. Makes me wanna play it real bad.

Can't help but feel like we're gonna get Dixie, though. D: Especially since there seems to be a Returns 3D stage in the 3DS Sm4sh.
