I think that you should also look at the Kid Icarus Uprising bosses, just in case.
If we extend to Kid Icarus: Uprising, the closest thing K. Rool could be like is Cragalanche. Even then, I doubt that K. Rool would be like that.
The title of the thread is referencing the people who thought the Kremlings and K. Rool were owned by Rare...
I would love to hear you're opinion on this and how would you feel if this were true, if you don't mind (and everyone else for the matter).
You know, I can't think of a single reptilian Kirby boss. It's just another sign of how unique K. Rool is for this game, being the sole remaining heavyweight and villain who has any good chance to be a newcomer. If there isn't one of those I'd be very surprised as it's the most obvious archetype to include. I also hardly think Bowser and Dedede cover everything in the archetype. That is one of the only remaining (stupid) arguments Sakurai could level against K. Rool - "why include a comical, heavyweight villain when the perfect Dedede did everything?" It is as bad as the "Bowser clone" "argument," though, so not worried.
Thing is, there's no way of really knowing for sure, unless some new quote comes out about bosses "not being fit for the roster" or something. Ridley might follow that rule in Sakurai's mind, while K. Rool doesn't yet still becomes a boss because, I don't know, he wants to see him in another DKC before adding him as playable, or something equally mundane. If bosses were indeed doomed to never become playable, I'd also prefer that a gamble be taken on a new developer would might think differently rather than to keep the one who doesn't.
I sort of disagree with this. Little Mac, Pac-Man, and Mii are other characters that I feel are pretty inundated with ignorant hatred. Little Mac still has a small but vocal camp that thinks he looks boring and "can only punch". It takes true ignorance of punching as a fighting form, as well as some outlandishly high standards concerning movesets, to see Mac as boring and unjustified, in my opinion. Pac-Man is possibly the most hated newcomer among the fanbase, depending on where you look, but whether or not you support him, there will always be people in denial that actually think Greninja is more important than him; a result of "Sakurai is always right" mentality, "relevunce", and manifestation of personal bias. In Mii's case, much of the hate can arguably be justified, but the outright contempt for this "character" I find to be over-reactionary and unnecessarily heated. I don't like Mii either, but I don't really see how including them would bring about armageddon, as some people treat it as. Even Mewtwo gets a lot of unjustified hate for some reason.

I say that Ridley is the only character surrounded by a culture of hate, because it's more extreme than what you see with other characters. Other characters get hate, but it's not a meme to hate those characters. They don't have people creating multiple GameFAQs accounts with which to create daily anti-character topics. They don't have morons creating series of YouTube videos calling that character's fans delusional. What's more, Ridley fans get such unwarranted crap simply for defending their character, as any other character would against their detractors. Pacman fans aren't "as bad as" Pacman detractors for calling spades, spades and laughing at stupid arguments. Are Ridley fans maybe more frenzied than average? Yes, but that comes with the territory of having to say the same things over and over.
Hence the *smirk* in the title.
I doubt such a mentality would have come up for K. Rool. Remember that for Ridley, he got dealt with the infamous quote of Sakurai declaring him impossible to work with but that if they tried, he might be a little slow. That probably escalated the detraction against Ridley and force fans to be even more on the offensive. I don't think Sakurai would leave out K. Rool because he doesn't see him working, but rather because he for some strange reason, doesn't find him worthy of a spot. And unlike with Ridley, Sakurai couldn't even begin to hide into the BS "he can't work" excuse with K. Rool, almost everyone would know that right away.@
Thankfully, K. Rool doesn't have to deal with any of that, though I wonder, if he were a major Brawl request that got passed over, would that sort of 'pick on K. Rool' mentality have emerged with him as well?
The joke is that even though they were in those, the 'owned by Rare' argument was still used by some uninformed people.

Next time I update this thread, you're on. Welcome to the thread!Will add these as well. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the Rocket Barrel music, and it makes sense to be there, since it's pretty much the single most memorable original song from Returns (and it recurs in Tropical Freeze, too). I was actually wondering whether David Wise himself composed this new version, since it has a similar jazzy flair to many of his Tropical Freeze tracks. Anyhow, a Retro DKC stage is rightfully a lock, so yeah, no affect on K. Rool. Gangplank Galleon would only get in alongside a Retro DKC stage, not before it.

The fact Sakurai brought back generic Kremlings may be a sign that simply King K. Rool will return, considering he is the most iconic one and hasn't featured at all in the new Retro trilogy, so they have nowhere to go from the default. He needs a palette cleanse after his wacky drug-fueled Paon days.
I know me pretty well and I'd be willing to wager that I'm 100% srs.
It's just a joke about how people foolishly claim that K. Rool is owned by Rare (LOLNO) and this would show that he hasn't and not for years. Appropriate if you ask me.
In that case, laugh at all the nay sayers.
Is it? IS IT???Assuming you're serious:
Support is support after all.
But if they punch you in that cheek too, you've got all of our (probably) permission to tell them to take a hike.
I am not so merciful or patient. K. Rool didn't need their support before, why in the hell would he need wishy-washy flavor-of-the-month support now? People amaze me.
Oh I'm sorry, I thought this was America. I thought I had the right to call people out on being Wannabe Kutthroats in a forum of discussion. I thought I had the right to belligerent and uncompromising in my beliefs, whilst scrutinizing others for their own. I thought I had the right to be who I am, while calling people assholes for being who they are. I thought this was America...
Just because you can doesn't mean you should...
Well, I'm in Canada right now, so......
