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

[JaidynReiman]

IDEA! IDEAIDEAIDEA!
We can get slightly around King K. Rool's recovery problem, here's my Idea
First of all, since King K.'s a fatty-bo-batty, Give him only 1 jump.
HOWEVER, you could use his Propeller-Pack-Thingy-Of-Science to give him a fair boost vertically in the air and the ability to glide left and right for a distance, balancing it out and making King K. Rool Unique.

K. Rool can easily get a double jump. The flapping animation from the whole Propeller-Pack-Thingy-Of-Science section. Oh, and the Helicopter I so totally see being is Up Special as well.

 

[BKupa666]

What with some people talking about how Dixie would be 'SO UNIQUE/10' for having a gliding mechanic, I think K. Rool could feasibly be given some sort of aerial mechanic as well.

He could either have some sort of cumbersome floating system with his Helicopter Pack, or could let his cape billow out behind him to slow his rock-like fall speed, kind of like Batman.

 

[AustarusIV]

Could KAOS work as a good Final Smash for K. Rool? Maybe it could be something like an Assist Character, or even a transformation like Landmaster.

I think the Helicopter mechanic would work well for Dixie Kong. K. Rool's got tons of great things going for him already. The Helicopter I think should definitely be his Recovery, but it could work in a way that it stays out permanently until its destroyed. ^^

If anything I think K. Rool's FS would be the Blast-o-Matic.

I don't know, but that "Dixie uniqueness" garbage is starting to get on my biggest nerves. She's just another Kong. And one built exactly like Diddy. K. Rool, however, is in a class of his own.

If Dixie gets in, I will flip a table.

I wouldn't, I'd adore Dixie. She'd be quite original with her ability to attack entirely with her hair, and her model being similar to Diddy Kong means that she'd be easier to design as well. If Dixie gets in over K. Rool I'll flip a table, though. K. Rool would be FAR more original than Dixie, but Dixie is still awesome in her own right.

To be fair, K. Rool would be a "heavy boss" like Dedede and Bowser.

Let's not have any more Dixie bashing please. They're both great characters and both deserve to be playable.

 

[AustarusIV]

If anything I think K. Rool's FS would be the Blast-o-Matic.

Could you tell me how it might work? Because whenever I think of that being the Final Smash, I think of Mega Man's or Samus's being just like it.

KAOS could rain down missiles at the players, slash at them with its knives, and remove its head so that way they have a greater field to cover when it's summoned. Come to think of it, it might make a good AT.

 

[BKupa666]

That wasn't intended as an attack on Dixie, moreso just the people who obsess over 'SO UNIQUE' despite having a horrible grasp on moveset originality, as well as those who claim equality between characters who do one unique thing and characters who do multiple unique things.

KAOS was my go-to Final Smash for K. Rool up until I brainstormed the Kredits idea.

 

[Bedoop]

I would make his Final Smash similar to SSBB Ganondorf's, Turn Huge, Sport some Boxing Gloves and do an all-out tackle, turning into a freaking Subway, dashing across the screen like noone's business.
But that's just me.

 

[AustarusIV]

If Sakurai thinks Dixie can work, he'll give her an original moveset. This is the guy who's about to make three blue-haired swordsmen a reality.

But K. Rool still has more to offer, to the point where it would be a waste if he was a collectable trophy again.

KAOS was my go-to Final Smash for K. Rool up until I brainstormed the Kredits idea.

I've thought about the Kredits idea as well. I'm still more fond of KAOS being the FS because DKC3 was the first DK game I played.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Dixie and K. Rool both deserve it. But I honestly suspect that neither of them will get in, because Sakurai.

 

[AustarusIV]

Dixie and K. Rool both deserve it. But I honestly suspect that neither of them will get in, because Sakurai.

Come to think of it, is it possible that Sakurai might be indifferent to the DK franchise? I find it hard to believe, but the stage representation (that is, generic jungle-themed areas) makes me lean towards it.

But with Chunky as an AT and the reappearance of Kremlings in Smash Run, that might not be the case.

EDIT: Oh, wow, Namco really did develop Mario Super Sluggers. If K. Rool is playable, then maybe it's because Namco persuaded Sakurai into adding another DK character into the roster.

 

[BKupa666]

Beyond campaigning for K. Rool DLC, if we don't get any DKC newcomers, our attention should shift to "Sakurai Should Develop the Next DKC Game" petitioning. Maybe if the series entered his personal bubble, we'd see two DKC characters in one game, five DKC items, modes based off of DKC, 15 DKC enemies in single player modes, and DKC given the frequent spotlight in website updates.

Namco is really the one who seems to adore Classic DK here. They had Kremlings Ruins, Klaptraps, Dixie and a Swanky Kong billboard in Mario Superstar Baseball, Kremlings, K. Rool, Dixie, Tiny, and Funky in Mario Super Sluggers, and now Kremlings in Smash Run and allegedly Chunky Kong in these games.

They both deserve it, and I think we'll get at least one at this point (again, because I'm about 90% positive Ridley is playable. And I'm really not a major Ridley fan but I think he'd be a great character anyway).

Metroid always gets a lava-based stage except one. Star Fox always gets a flight simulator stage. DK always gets a jungle-based stage. He's not specifically targeting DK or anything, he's just giving us what each franchise is MOST known for.

Metroid's most iconic moments are escaping from lava/acid. Star Fox is flying through space. DK is running through jungles. Yes, they have other environments, but these are the things they are most remembered for. I'd like the trend to be broken, but he's not specifically targeting DK on this.

Or Ridley.

Japan's not as big of a fan of Ridley. If anything, Ridley is set for August Direct, the event this weekend probably WON'T show any new characters, and even if it does, it'll be a character Japan likes more. Probably Shulk if anyone. Although I doubt we'll get a newcomer announcement here.


EDIT: Yeah, K. Rool is popular worldwide, but that also makes him the perfect candidate to be a secret newcomer in the final game, especially since he has nothing to promote. A character like Shulk would be better to show off to a Japan-only audience.

[insert that ain't Falco here]
Btw, am I the only one who thinks K. Rool would be the fatest heaviset character on the roster?

Yeah, if K. Rool is playable, he'd DEFINITELY be the heaviest character on the roster. Ridley would probably be the biggest (ever so slightly), but he'd be lighter. K. Rool would be the heaviest, and he'd also probably be the fastest heavy character on the roster, too. :D

Except newcomer reveals are only for international events, so no K. Rool (or Ridley for that matter) I'm afraid.

Well, E3 wasn't international, although it did have people from around the world attending it was still entirely US-based. But that's besides the point, this event is just so Japanese players can play the game.

E3 is the single biggest gaming event of the year, so that's clearly an exception to the rule.

King K. Rool supporters might find Chunky Kong at the Japanese SSB4 event. Revealing him as an Assist Trophy would help this thread, am I right?

And that's why I want him to make a Murasame Castle Game. Takamaru will get so much love!

DK Is frequently on the website......on the receiving end of items, or for comic relief.

 

[KingZing]

Yeah, Chunky would help K Rool's chances. Back to his FS, I personally prefer KAOS or Kredits to the Blast-O-Matic. But even if Kredits clearly has a lot of potential, I can't think of a really cool way of implementing it as a FS. How do you guys think/want Kredits would work?

The best I came up with was K Rool faking death while the Kredits damaged the other players when passing by, and at the end K Rool would get up laughing (he would've been invulnerable while faking death, obviously).

 

[RidleyKraid187]

I Think K.Rool Kould Have a Final Smash where he stomps his foot , and a bunch of Kannonballs rain down from the sky, like in his DKC fight

 

[JaidynReiman]

K. Rool should've been higher. But third place is nothing to sneeze at.

Lol, I only just found DK Vine a couple of days ago. Their "extended" DK universe is quite weird.

For the Kredits thing, I'd rather have it just be the way he shows up in the game.

 

[Bedoop]

I honestly wouldn't mind his Sluggers appearence, but his Classic Outfit works best.

 

[MandoBardanJusik]

What about King Kut Out perhaps? there are a couple ways they could do it, fire a superlaser, then collapse on stage perhaps

Also whether or not anything gets revealed I would argue depends on how big this event is, I mean the pokemon wii-u level has been shown but not revealed

 

[BowserK.Rool]

Recovery would easily be one of his worst aspects.

Because fat ****.

He does use that helicopter thing on his back from donkey kong country 3, if they can incorporate that into his move set, I think he'd have great recovery as well.

I'm no game developer either, but I think his slow speed could be balanced out with a cloud projectile that slows down opponents that would otherwise run circles around him.

Slow speed? K. Rool actually moves pretty good for a guy his size.

I think K. Rool would overall have a well balanced move set.

 

[Welshy91]

King K. Rool's next identity needs to be the K.aped K.rusader.

If they're going to draw from DK64 for his FS, I don't think King Kut Out would be chosen, but who knows?

Here's how I see it. K. Rool's base speed is extremely slow, but his running speed is very fast. He has a great recovery with K. Roolenstein's helicopter, but it can't go very high due to his heavy weight and eventually he'll weigh it down, but it'll still be quite a decent recovery.

Not only was Pac-Man only revealed through an AMERICAN ONLY E3 ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION, but everyone else found out about it (especially poor Japan) through a simple Pic of the Day on MIIVERSE.
I think Japan should have a turn at such a thing.
