This is colossal! I never thought for a second luma would be put in, but that expression as if luma is saying "what are you doing and why" just made me laugh. Judging by the frame space, palutena wouldn't be able to fit then? Regardless this work is flawless.
Main three done. (Well, technically four...)
I didn't think they'd actually get Alaskan Bull Worm into the game as playable; I thought he was just too big.It sure is:
...the actor of Drax, but close enough rofl.
...I think he's too fat for that lmao. The idea of him picking up a character and doing this though is quite reasonable.lol get dat Batista reference out a here. CLEARLY, King K. Rool will do the Rool Arrow, duh.
Looks pretty awesome.
Rool is not too fat for anything. K. Rool can do whatever he wants. He's K. Rool. He's the croc that gravity forgot (BAM ANOTHER NEVILLE REFERENCE!)
Ray is someone who I don't think is likely, but would be amazing if it happened. I love Custom Robo.
I know XD. My brother loves wrestling, so I'm well aware of who Batista is. I was just playing dumb :D
Kicking the rap off with a pretty faithful reworking of the DK rap (mostly so that people could easily get what I was going for) and not many facts. Crocs and birds are both the only surviving archosaurs, which I already told you. There's a lot of repeat facts here, but I thought it'd be cool if any of you saw them and thought 'oh yeah! I remember that!" I dunno. Onward.
Ah, this is more like it. I deliberated for a while before making an American alligator take Donkey Kong's slot. They're both rather average and unique crocodilians, rather than just being a sort of scaly Mary Sue (sorry, Nile crocodiles and spectacled caimans), they have a fair amount of quirks, and they're pretty well-known all over the world. Also, I live in Louisiana (US southeast), so I'm hugely biased :T. As for the facts, the first two are pretty self explanatory, but "back from the brink" refers to the late sixties, when they were almost hunted to extinction, and the line about making ducks sink refers to their reputation as duck pond raiders. The part about the gator's strong jaws is a fairly subtle reference to the fact that they have the strongest bite force of any living animal. The death roll stuff is classified for a later fact. American alligators are bigger and faster...than their petite Chinese cousins. Alligators as a whole are also pretty cold-tolerant, making them capable of colonizing places that sometimes dip below 45 degrees. Next.
He's the most studied of the bunch
Americans know him well
He's back from the brink
He makes ducks sink!
His powerful jaws
Can make wooden beams cry
If he death rolls
You're gonna die
He's bigger
Faster
More cold-tolerant, too
He's the first member
Of the Kool Croc Krew!
I wanted a smaller croc to be Tiny (for what I would hope are obvious reasons), and the line about style fit Cuban crocodiles to a t; they're renowned for their beautiful hides. Cuban crocodiles have occasionally shown pack hunting behavior, but the stuff about humans was for rhyming's sake. They are known for their aggression, and their range is restricted to the Zapata swamp in Cuba. They are also have strong enough leg muscles to gallop on land.
This croc's got style
So listen up, Cubans!
She can hunt in packs
For tasty humans
She's quick and aggressive when she needs to be
She can cruise through a swamp
And gallop at high speeds
If you chose her
Your choice just rocks
With a snap and a snarl
She's one Kool Croc!
"No grace" immediately made me think of Indian gharials, which have rather weak legs and very rarely high walk, preferring to drag themselves along the ground like I do in the morning. Their bizarre, thin snouts are scientifically classified as funny. Males have been documented scaring away predators from huge clusters of hatchling gharials, whether they're his or not. Fishermen intensely dislike gharials, as they believe the crocs' strict fish diets deprive them of a huge catch (they don't). The male has a bulbous, fleshy...thing on the tip of his nose. Also, there's only, like, 200 of them left. Donate nao if you can. Seriously. http://www.gharialconservationalliance.org/?page_id=22
He has no style
He has no grace
This croc
Has a funny face
He can guard hatchlings
When he needs to
And annoy fishermen
Just for you!
Inflate his nose
Just like a balloon
This krazy croc
Might be extinct soon.
The new guy on the block is none other than the smooth snouted caiman. I felt kind of bad that I didn't have caimans represented yet, and I wanted another small croc, so smooth snouts fit the bill. They max out at about 6 feet, much smaller than the ~10 foot long West Indian manatee. They prefer turbid rivers to stagnant swamps (a trait that is tricky to replicate in captivity), and many of the fastest-flowing tributaries in the Amazon run through particularly thick, dark, gloomy parts of the jungle; its so gloomy where they live, they don't even try to bask. I selected piranhas mostly due to their South American origin and way they fit into the rhythm of the song; SMCs are actually semi-terrestrial, and fish aren't a huge part of their diets. Moving on...
He's back again
And about time, now
And this croc's smaller than a sea cow
He can swim up rapids
With his super-smooth snout
With his fangs showing
You'd better watch out!
His tiny sharp smile
Rises up from the gloom
But piranhas beware
'Cause he's after you!
I actually selected a saltie to be Chunky before I wrote the rest; they are the world's largest croc, after all. Their bite force is pretty strong, too; it's at least in the top 5 most powerful bite forces in the modern world. A bit more embellishing comes next; they sometimes eat young sharks (including the fearsome great white), but have never been recorded attacking adults. They are also known for their fairly bad tempers ("he may be mean") and are responsible for dozens of human deaths each year.
Finally, he's here for you
It's the last member
Of the Kool Croc Krew!
This croc's so strong
It isn't funny
Can make a great white
Cry out for mummy
Can travel the oceans
With relative ease
Makes island hopping
Seem such a breeze!
He may be mean
Causes tons of people to die
But this croc's
One hell of a guy!
I went with a yacare caiman for Cranky because I liked the way it sounded. Hiding under bridges to cool off ("taking it to the fridge," if you will) is a behavior commonly observed in many crocs in close proximity to humans. All crocodilians have osteoderms (bone armor covered with skin), a clear second eyelid called the nicticating membrane, salt-removing glands, very advanced four-chambered hearts, care for their young, and frequently preform better than rats in lab tests. I think the rap and this megafact more than made up for my hiatus. :]
Harem K. Rool confirmed.
Main three done. (Well, technically four...)
That sucks
. Had a lot of fun on this forum.
Sorry, I'm a Pico supporterThat sucks
btw if anyone joins that forum *cough cough Samurai Goroh and Starfy plugs*
I know that. Just anyone else (totally not self plugs or anything). I wanted to reach that 2000 page mark, oh well. Guess my job here as that guy who makes jokes sometimes (ah that Ice Beam burn joke from like 5 months ago) and rushes to throw up the "One of Us" video is over. (I'm still going to make jokes, sorry guys. You'll just have to live with it. :/)
We of the Bandana Waddle Dee thread have the Dream Land Social Group, at least. If you're not already in it, ask @Chandelure for an invite.
Having heard the above, so would I.
It's been renamed and has new rules. All characters that originated from a video game are now welcome. Threads can be made now if people wish to. predefined roles was the old objective. The new one is keeping the community together with slightly more lax moderation (as in be off topic as much as you want)
The rocks being thrown at him make it even better.Similarly:
Pretty much sums up the fan reaction.
A Distant Demon
's subforum honestly.
Scroll up a bit - it's explained a bit further up this very page.

There's nothing. They could push Xenoblade Chronicles X, but that's been out in Japan for ages now. Some Wolf and Krool character DLC would be nice.
Their big focus is on promoting their holiday line-up (which includes the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes and Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, which in spite of anyone's views on these games, are going to be heavy-hitters), including pushing Yo-kai Watch, which is a very hot property that they are the Western publisher for, and which they are in large part going to be responsible for making Western audiences familiar with.I wish Nintendo would've announced some characters by now, seriously if we go all of October with no news...
What is Nintendo gonna do for November? With the delay of Star Fox Zero
All Character Support seems like the better option, no sense in isolating ourselves from the others. The alliance subforum has been dead for months.
Not to mention that it was very limited to what was perceived as 'All-star.' This did not include the likes of say, Roy, Inkling, Bandanna Dee, etc, etc. It was very limited to those characters and a time of general uncertainty following the release of Smash 3DS and no sign of them.

, would you mind taking up the command of the revived K.Rool thread when the time comes?
I don't know the consensus but I'm all for that. Seems like a Character Discussion sub-forum by any other name.
BKupa666
will do the honours of creating/christening a new thread should that be the Kutthroats' new hideout!)
I agree, it's sad that we can't celebrate the potential reveal here. I'm definitely going to stick around in the new thread.
Yeah, it really looks amazing!
