Well, that's nice to hear. I do hope he ends up in the game-
...I was hoping not to read something like this in a partial response to me...
I'd imagine that would only be a problem offline. Online, if they're content to regulate customized movelists, guaranteed they'll force us to use the stock Mii avatars. Get ready to play as Miyamoto and Reggie Mii's online!
You mean Miiyamoto and Regii
My body is Readii.
Brawl had eighteen newcomers.
Ah, I miscounted. Thanks for clearing it up!
I imagine Ridley will be bigger in overall size, but K. Rool will be heavier (dat girth).
Easily Ridley.
This is why I'm confident, if we're getting a DK newcomer, it's K. Rool. It'd make sense to save him as an unlockable, like Melee Mewtwo and Ganondorf, whereas a promotional tool like Dixie or Cranky would be paraded around in close proximity to Tropical Freeze, most likely.
I feel the same way. Not just because of the rebirth and the fact that it is unrepresented like you've mentioned, but there is a great deal of demand for a third character.
Since DS games are coming to the Wii U's eshop, it would make sense to link that website to promote it's release on the VC. Who knows? Maybe Nintendo will talk about it's DS VC line-up this E3 and we'll get an announcement for K.Rool in Smash along with the release of Jungle Climber (and other DS titles) on the eShop. Then we'll have them link that website on his profile and it would help promote the games digital release. I know the chances of that happening are low, but it's still a possible scenario.
i don't think we are going to see him until the game is out, maybe E3, but since he wouldn't be promoting anything i think he is going to be a secret character. My guess is the newcomers revealed during E3 will have other games coming out
Just wait until someone starts drawing fanart of K. Rool's buttocks; we'll really whip the Fire Emblem thread then.
The cartoon does that so well that there's no need for fanart.
A big reason for that probably has to do with Chrom being part of the Gematsu leak while K. Rool has not.
I think that has more to do with the amount of fan service already in Fire Emblem Awakening than anything.
Most of them will be from me tbh. I've been kind of addicted to it ever since I discovered it... And I quite earnestly don't regret it.
That's something that I've been noticing about King K. Rool, if Sakurai handles bosses like he did in Brawl, there's no way I can see him fitting. The bosses in that game are all massive sized characters with giant, sweeping hitboxes. That's why characters like Rayquaza, Ridley (even though he really shouldn't be a boss, but still...), etc worked better and I can't see K. Rool ever working out like that (he's a character that focuses a lot on projectile attacks). If Smash Run handled bosses differently, then I guess I could see K. Rool as a boss, but not if Sakurai is focused on similar-type bosses. For now, I see playable and an Assist Trophy (as unfortunate as that may be) as more likely possibilities.
Mega Man focuses primarily on projectile attacks. Samus focuses primarily on projectile attacks. That's all Pit used to do in his origin games, and he mostly does that in Uprising, too. All three are characters in Smash Brothers, all three are interesting and fun characters. If they can flesh them out into legitimate fighters, Samus especially, then I can honestly see them having no issue incorporating K. Rool into Smash.
King K. Rool should be one of the easier characters to implement into the game. I am not a person who does move sets (I haven't made a single one, literally), but even I can come up with four special moves and a Final Smash without too much trouble for him.
Indeed. A lot of people think pretty linearly about K. Rool as a playable fighter. Don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many people think all K. Rool could do in Smash is charge around the battlefield and shoot/drop cannonballs. Fairly sure they could make K. Rool an interesting character. They've got some pretty savvy folks over there in Japan slaving away on the game.
This is the same man that made Wii Fit Trainer of all things interesting and made what most people expected to be a Peach Clone (Rosalina) into one of the best newcomers gameplay-wise. If Sakurai actually makes Chrom an unique & fun character to play with (and hopefully he does, although I'd be lying if I wasn't skeptical), then surely K. Rool would be right up Sakurai's alley (not that Chrom being unique would do any good for K. Rool's chances, but still).
