Meh, to be honest guys I would HATE if due to time problems (reaching dateline, etc) or something like that Sakurai decides to include Dixie (as a clone/luigified/whatever of Diddy) instead of K.Rool.
Dont get me wrong, I do think dixie could be a totally original character, but I only support her inclusion if we get the King first
I can't remember if I found that here originally, but it's hilarious.
@JhMS: If that's the case, Dixie is still awesome. However, I don't think we've got anything to worry about, and K. Rool will eventually grace the shores of Smash regardless. But seriously, Smash 4 is our moment. Don't worry about it.
Yep, lets hope for his confirmation. Besides, thanks to the pre-brawl days Ive learned not to be waaay optimistic about new characters (hell, I thought Ridley was definitely in). Anyway, we just have to wait.
And I agree about the side B. The crown throw fits just perfectly. And my favorite FS has to be the "fake credits" thing (a one hit KO maybe).
The Fake Credits Final Smash could have him lie death (like losing a stamina match) and all other characters start taunting. And then K.Rool does, something?
Liked that K.Rool campain video dude. But can't help thinking he looks far too skinny.
It's true the suit is hilariously skinny, but I'm sure finding a giant K. Rool fat-suit is even harder than it sounds. Let alone moving around in one! Hah!

That "something" being beating up the other characters off screen in a comical fashion while the credits roll. Bonus points if the credits make up mock names of the staff that developed the game.
He wouldn't be beating up the other characters while the credits were rolling because he'd be faking death. A better thing would be for it to stop, him get up and do something. Hopefully with the other characters having their eyes pop out of their heads in surprise.
I think I have a pretty cool concept for a Kredits final smash.
Basically, K. Rool would play dead and opponents would taunt...then, the Kredits start coming up, scattered around the stage willy-nilly. Each 'kredit' serves as a fairly long solid platform that travels up and off the screen top at a very fast speed, carrying the taunting characters up with them to their doom (since they're initially immobile during their taunt). Basically, each Kredit is positioned onstage in a way that, even if opponents try to run off the sides of the kredit and escape, another kredit will be rising up where they would fall down, so it would be difficult to stay alive. Maybe some kredits could explode in a flurry of letters at random when landed on by characters, launching them up even if they're successfully escaping?
It's a concept that would need balancing for sure, but getting carried away by the Kredits would be a great underhanded 'gotcha' moment for K. Rool the first time he pulled it off against a crowd of new players.
And it's now almost certainly what I'll use in the K. Rool moveset I'm drafting at the moment.
@BKupa666 that idea is great, and very original. The fact that the King has a lot of potential even in his FS is just amazing.
Heres another idea: K.Rool calls KAOS from DKC3 to the stage and it starts to attack the others (lasers, blades, punch if someone gets to close, etc).
Very unlikely since Country 3 doesnt get any attention from Nintendo, but it would be sooooo cool.
I wonder if Sakurai will even try to fit all of the blunderbuss' projectiles into K. Rool's moveset. He has cannonballs, spiked cannonballs, and three different types of gases...that's a whole lot to condense down into just an attack or two.

Well yeah. I'd expect those sort of Kremlings as ATs. That's kind of a given, but wouldn't mind seeing what I mentioned too. For having some unique bosses like Bleak, DKC3 gets very little credit.
As for the bears, yeah. That would be funny, or something like Barter Bear giving you a random OP item at the cost of... a life? Would also be amusing if they had this music of theirs as an extra stage soundtrack. Odd that it was missing from the GBA version of the game, from what I remember.
Krusha as a AT would be jokes lol and when you try hit hit with standard moves he just stands there and laughs with his chest out. you need a fully charged smash attack to kill him or 3/4 normal ones xD.
Yo RidleyPrime was up homeboy. we we gone find you xD

I could have some problems with that idea. I mean, we have the King (most iconic), the pirate (awesome) and the scientist (awesome too). Why would Sakurai create a new one when we have some excellent ones already? Franky I dont see a reason to do that.
Emperor K. Roolius was my suggestion a while back in this thread.
Really, what's most important to me is that K. Rool the individual gets into Smash, and whatever costumes he brings would be icing on the cake. If K. Rool was given a new costume for Smash, would he still use his DKC weapons?
The cherry on top of the cake would be the announcer saying different names for K. Rool depending on the costume, yelling "Kaptain K. Rool" or "Baron K. Roolstein" for his DKC2 and DKC3 costumes instead of the usual "King K. Rool."
Perhaps if K. Rool is voice acted, his taunt and winning quotes could also change?

It's because of his costumes we theorized a while back that the announcer might simply call out "K. Rool," as well as to not confuse Japanese players who still buy into the brother theory.
In that latter case, Kaptain would speak in pirate dialect, while Baron would, once again, quote Scooby-Doo?
New question: do you guys think K. Rool should use minions at all within his moveset? It's been suggested that he bring out Klaptraps, as in DK64, and one of Crusade's drafted movesets had him summoning Kritters. Both could be unique, but might also infringe on Dedede's territory a tad...
mmmm I would like the klaptrap thing, having them work similar(not identical) to Dededes DownB.
It would be a solid choice for a DownB. Still, I dont see Sakurai going that far for the moveset(coflazycof).
I think we will get a ground pound as his down special (ala Bowser and Yoshi, but different dynamics)
