Great. >.>

Heaven forbid it could be someone new we didn't get "leaked". I had high hopes for this roster... no longer.

I used to idolize Sakurai as well back when I wanted to be a game developer. Then Smash 4's roster happened.
Could be Sakurai trying to throw us off. I mean, has a character reveal EVER been so predictable? That said my money's on Shulk as well. But I still think you're losing hope over nothing. We clearly have secret newcomers at this point.

I want k rool in smash 4. But deep in my gut I feel that he is not in smash 4. Sakurai hates op characters and k rool was one of the most op in melee. That why he was one of the veterans cut for brawl :*( rip k rool

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Either that or you're joking, but the way you described it sounds to me like you have no idea what you're talking about.

K. Rool wasn't in Melee except as a mere trophy. K. Rool has never been playable in Smash Bros.

The only thing close to what you're saying is Mewtwo. And Mewtwo wasn't OP in Melee, he was ****. No, seriously, he played like crap, not many people really liked Mewtwo in Melee (however, people did want Mewtwo to return, they just wanted him to be better).

The other choices are Dr. Mario, Pichu, Roy, and Young Link. None of them are OP, although Dr. Mario and Young Link are better than the characters they were cloned from. The other two were worse.


EDIT:

Oh, and one more thing. You are definitely not One of Us. If you were One of Us then you'd have known this crap to begin with. :p

The Gematsu leak just made me lose all hope, is all. And to be honest, it was the worst of all of them. At least the translator leak and a few others had Rool.

I lost hope temporarily. Sakurai's announcement, all the new Kremling hints we got and all the Ridley crap rekindled my hope. :D

Kinda late for that. We're on #KRool4Smash4 right now.

Yeah I know, just thought I would have some fun. But in all honesty, as much as I love k rool and would love to see him playable in smash4. I don't see it happening, I can't really explain it, it's like a feeling in my gut. Maybe it's because of sakurai's mission to add females to the roster instead of villians. So if we do get another dk rep, I think it's dixie.


So maybe k rool and Ridley for smash5?

Well... I've said time and again I'm willing to wait as long as it takes to see K. Rool playable. Heck, he doesn't even need to be a regular. Just at least once is all I want. One and I'll treasure it forever.

Admittedly, the reason I don't like Palutena is because I'm starting to buy into the favoritism argument. Why a new Kid Icarus character when the series isn't nearly as popular as something like DK or Metroid?
I like Palutena, but the principle behind her inclusion rubs me the wrong way, and it mostly has to do with my love of Pikmin. Both Kid Icarus and Pikmin have the same number of games, and while the former is older its has been dead for over two decades until Uprising (unless you want to count Brawl). Pikmin, while younger, has been significantly more consistent and has become a Nintendo staple. But how are each represented in Smash 4 as of now?

Kid Icarus gets a ton of items, multiple Assist Trophies, two stages, hordes of Smash Run enemies, two reps, and its showboated during the first trailer as if it were among the original 8 (thereby replacing Yoshi).

Pikmin has one item that's essentially Olimar's FS, two SR enemies, one stage, and one rep, who everyone is screaming is enough representation for the franchise while lesser ones are allowed two or more.

I'm sorry, but that complete BS.

But back to K. Rool, I definitely agree that we should see him or even Dixie Kong before a third FE character. I'm all for three FE reps, but not before DK. I swear the priority system for this game is utterly backwards sometimes...

I'm not really a K Rool supporter, but I think it makes perfect sense for him to be playable, and I think he's extremely likely. His detractors annoy me though. There is really no reason for him not to be in. The arguement that he can't be in because he's not relavent to his series anymore is just stupid, if nothing else because of pokemon trainer. If relevence comes before iconicness, then the trainer from daimond and pearl would have been in it, but no, it was the no longer relevent kanto trainer, because he's iconic. Also I think the Kremlings in smash run does effect his chances, especialy with Krusha or Klubba supposedly being a smash run boss. Wouldn't it be wierd to have kremlings as the main dk enemy, a larger kremling as the boss, and then not have k rool in it? I think If he wasn't playable they would have made Tiki Tong or the final boss from dkctf (I forget his name) the boss in smash run, or K Rool himself. (by the way the reason I'm not considering K Rool as what they meant by "a larger kremling" because he would have been recognized as k rool and mentioned by name). Again, I really don't care much about k rool, but I think he's inevitable as a secret character. He probably won't be revealed pre release, but I have no doubt he'll be playable.

It is. To be very honest, Sakurai only really cares for franchises he's worked on. I bet that if he ever did a DK game, the following Smash would be filled with DK stuff like what happened with KI...

Also, less than 16 hours to find out who the newcomer is. I'm trying not to get too hyped, but if the trailer starts off with Donkey Kong or in a jungle, I won't be able to resist!

I think the reason that he chooses so many items from Kid Icarus Uprising is because they were already used in a competitive environment so they already fit right in. That, plus the fact that Sakurai just loves using elements from his past games.

I find it so hard to believe that Sakurai would hype this to this extent for it to just be Shulk...
I find it easy to believe it would be Shulk. Remember the fact that Greninja was revealed in the climax of the Smash Direct and he was far less requested than Shulk was.

My dislike for Rosalina mainly stems from Nintendo's pushing of her. It reminds me of how Square Enix is adopting the "Every time until you like her" policy with Lightning. I also jut find her kind of dull. Beyond vague helpfulness, she never really does anything. Not to mention that she kind of feels like a third wheel for the Mario characters. We had the four main stars, and yet she's added instead of someone more prolific like Toad. I always considered the cast of MK64 to be the big 8 of the Mario franchise. Toad is the only one of them not in Smash Bros.

Admittedly, the reason I don't like Palutena is because I'm starting to buy into the favoritism argument. Why a new Kid Icarus character when the series isn't nearly as popular as something like DK or Metroid?

Greninja is an odd one. I don't like his inclusion mainly because it's...unfair I guess? With the Pokemon Trainer, you had Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard, meaning you could use one form of your favorite Kanto starter. But now, if you liked Delphox or Chesnaught better? Too bad.

Miis I don't need to say anything about.
Eh, in Palutena's defense, she was apparently one of the most requested characters in Japan.

S:
Mewtwo
Roy

A:
Mega Man
Palutena
Shulk
K. Rool

B:
Dixie Kong
Chrom
Zoroark

That's according to this thread:

http://smashboards.com/threads/obse...es-desires-for-smash-4-by-chronobound.338160/

If you look at that and see what we got and we are likely to get, then Sakurai has actually done a lot of fan service for this roster. Just for Japanese fans. The only weird thing are the Donkey Kong Country characters.... they are huge everywhere. Which is why I am still convinced we will get at least one of DIxie or K. Rool, maybe as an unlockable, maybe as DLC.

It's kinda interesting how this news came out only a few days ago..after we got the confirmation of a newcomer on Monday.

I'm telling you a Shulk and Mewtwo dual reveal is happening

Still surprised people wants Roy back that much, with all the lords FE has.
But this paints very well for K. Rool at least. Donkey Kong and Fire Emblem are both very popular in Japan, so both deserve 3 characters each.

Theoretically speaking, if Sakurai worked on Donkey Kong, rather than Kirby let's say, we would have had both Diddy Kong and King K. Rool in Brawl, Dixie Kong in this upcoming game, and the King Dedede support thread would be on their toes as we are now.

K. Rool is all I want out of this game. If he's in and secret, I'm satisfied. :)

Here's to hoping there will be secret, unannounced characters.

As fantastic as K. Rool appearing tomorrow would be... Besides the dude took a picture of an old magazine and vaguely alluded to him, aka the laziest leak I've ever seen.
Can anyone copy and paste what it says in the link, because it won't open for me the link is down it says error is King K in it?

Well what did this leaker state? If it has KING K in it then plz do tell??
Basically he showed a picture of what I assume was an old Nintendo Power magazine with all the DK64 characters (including K. Rool). All he said was expect something "big" tomorrow.

Again, the guy who posted it has a record of making fake leaks, so don't give the notion any thought.

God, just imagine if Sakurai had worked on DK and Metroid instead of Kirby and KI.

Of course, those games would probably be nothing like they are now... :urg:

Am I the only one who doesn't really understand why everyone seems to like this cartoon so much?
Do I like the cartoon? No.
But I do like seeing it brought up over and over because I think it's so stupid that it's funny. :p

I think the only way K. Rool gets announced before release is if Dixie Kong is ALSO playable. That said, I agree with everyone's sentiments. K. Rool IS one of the most popular characters in Japan, and so far two of the A list are already confirmed and it looks like the third is coming Monday.

Now, guys, I disagree on this notion that if Sakurai worked on DK, DK characters would've gotten in sooner. Metaknight and Dedede were BOTH around far longer than the DKC games. Even if someone else worked on those games, Dedede was still in the Kirby games since the start of the series and Metaknight came shortly after, the DKC games didn't happen until the SNES. Dedede and Metaknight got into Brawl because they were both highly requested characters.

Saying that K. Rool would've gotten in is a misnomer. If anything, here's the way I see it: there were too many other more iconic characters other than K. Rool to get into the game in past titles. At this point in time there is literally nothing stopping DK from getting three or even four playable reps, but definitely at least three. And I don't think Gematsu is everything, its too outdated and Sakurai practically confirmed he's almost out of videos, not characters.

No one here TRULY loves the cartoon THAT much. Its more of a "its so bad its funny" thing. Basically, the entire thing is an inside joke. I myself LOVED the cartoon as a kid, but now I realized how lame it actually was. That said, we repeat it because its funny, and some of the songs work for King K. Rool, namely One of Us (for K. Rool supporters) and K. Rool's Finest Hour (for when K. Rool returns).

I think it's worth mentioning what appears to be a new development in the Gematsu leak saga: sal recently posted in the Shulk support thread that he got another e-mail saying "enjoy my good friend Shulk," or something along those lines. Assuming this is another real leak and not just an educated guess on the part of the leaker, it raises the question of why he is only leaking this information now. It would have been nice to know earlier that we'd be getting a sudden new character in the middle of July. This just further supports the idea that the leaker is either withholding information, or has incomplete information and is learning bits and pieces as he goes. Either way, it's a plus for characters like K. Rool that were not listed in the leak.

Strangely enough, I read that the cartoon got praise (I believe for its animation) when it was new. So I'm not really sure what to think about it.

Although I do know that Donkey Kong singing is somewhat disturbing.
