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

[OddCrow]

The scene opens up on Mario and Donkey Kong falling (like they just jumped) through the clouds. They land on a wooden deck with loud "thuds". The camera pans out and you see Bowser's flag on the airship. You hear the classic Bowser intro music and laugh as Bowser's shadow appears on the bow of the airship. The screen cuts to DK with a puzzled face poking a search-light looking projector. As he does, the bowser shadow disappears, leaving DK and Mario puzzled. Just then, you see a large spurt of ink hit Mario in the face "BOWSER JR. IS READY FOR MISCHIEF" Cut to trailer of Bowser Jr doing cool stuff against DK. The Smash 4 Wii U 3 DS logo appears, and fades to another credits screen. We here "HUH?" and a set of green claws pulls the screen away, K. rool Grabs the camera, puts it to his face and laughs. "K. ROOL BARGES IN" We then See K. Rool jump off his Zeppelin onto the Deck of Bowser Jr.s ship, crushing Bowser Jr. through the floor in the process. Mario and and DK stand together to fight him as it cuts to gameplay footage.

Bowser jr. has a special mechanic that lets him paint his foes with his specials (n-paint ball shot,u- paint brush helicopter, f-paint-skate) whatever his player slot color is. The more painted a foe is, the more damage they take from Bowser Jr. each hit knocks some paint off. His down B consumes all paint on a nearby enemy, with a rest-like effect depending on amount.

K. Rool has a special down-b that makes him glow red, all damage taken during this time is doubled, knockback is reduced heavily though, and k. rool goes berserk until it's over, dealing much more damage and knockback, the length of it depends on how much damage you already have, 0% = 2 seconds, 100% = 5 seconds.

At the very very end we see a very hazy group laughing at what's gong on. Dark Pit, Ganondorf and Mewtwo

Dark Pit isn't even a villain. No, I don't think Dark Pit or Bowser Jr. will be playable.

I automatically like you now, just for mentioning Bowser Jr. Thank you, friend.

Kutthroats, if this keeps up the Shulk thread might actually surpass us in a week. Wow. They're already at 185 pages. I didn't think the Robin thread could possibly catch up to the K. Rool thread, but with Robin confirmed now Shulk is starting to do so. Then again, they've basically degenerated into madness like the Ridley thread.

 

[Camc10]

Has anyone come up with a good cheer for K.Rool like "King K Rules"?

 

[JaidynReiman]

Has anyone come up with a good cheer for K.Rool like "King K Rules"?

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! It makes the most logical sense.

"King K. ROOLS! *pause* King K. ROOLS!"

Or perhaps something like,

"Its K. Rool's finest hour! Its K. Rool's finest hour!"

All that really matters is who gets the last laugh.

I really thinking K. Rool is going to be announced in a hypothetical Villains Trailer at the start of August. I'm betting on that now. Shulk I think IS in the game, but he won't be announced until later, maybe in a release trailer.

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

If K. Rool is revealed in August, I don't care how many pages any newcomer thread has.

I have 2 ideas for a trailer with K.Rool. One is a battle of Waddle Dees and Kremlins to reveal him and Bandanna Waddle Dee. Another is, like you said, a Villains trailer along side a Zelda and Metriod villian. Donkey Kong, Zelda, and Metriod all have anniversaries in August so it's kinda likely.

 

[DakotaBonez]

Still hoping for K. Rool

I don't get this whole notion of Bandana Dee. Bandana Dee is the next mostlikely Kirby character, but he's not NEARLY as iconic as the next-mostlikely DK characters. Kirby has its main core cast already. DK has yet to get its core cast, which I think is going to happen at this point. Sakurai has shown that he's not just going to favor his franchises, he's going to pick characters he think deserve to be playable and are original and new.

The only thing going for Bandana Dee is people believing Sakurai will be biased towards his franchises. He's not.


EDIT: And the best bet for K. Rool right now is either a DK trailer with Dixie and K. Rool, or a Villains trailer. I'm thinking a Villains trailer hands-down.

 

[TheSmasher916]

Scene starts off in a canyon. We see Mario fighting a number of Mario enemies (all of the ones we see in Smash Run) for a good 10 seconds. He lands and slides on the ground and looks up at the cliff in front of him to see Bowser standing at the top. He laughs and points outwards sending another horde Mario's way. Mario backs up a bit, right into Kirby. They look at each other and nod before Mario darts off to attack the horde. Zoom to Kirby running up to an army of Smash Run Kirby enemies. During it, he glances up at Dedede at top of the cliff. Dedede looks over his shoulder and then nods his head forward. A black figure shoots out upward from behind him. It lands behind Mario and Kirby. They turn around to see Meta Knight standing there. Cue a new Meta Knight's Theme remix with game play of Mario and Kirby fighting Meta Knight, showing off some of his new moves. Cut back to the scene. Meta Knight is about to shoot one of his tornadoes (new move, like he does in Kirby games) when D.K. slams from above interrupting the attack. The four are about to duel until D.K. senses something. He swings his arm around to smash a cannonball that was about to hit him. He turns around to notice an army of Kremlings, both green and blue. At the top, we see a roundish figure standing. It leaps forward as the K. Rool Battle music starts to play. The figure lands, and looking up with the Blunderbuss in hand, laughs as.

K. Rool Plunders the Battle!!

Cue gameplay and Smash Bros. Logo. End off the trailer with a tease of Samus in a different part of the canyon away from all of the action. She is seen fighting Metroids, Kihunters, (and any other Smash Run Metroid enemies). She then looks up as a large dragon-like shadow rises above her, cutting the screen to black and ending the trailer.

Yeah, that the reason I see why people don't think he should get it. I don't think that Kirby should get a newcomer considered it's a part of the "Big 4" the other 3 being Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon.

EDIT: And the best bet for K. Rool right now is either a DK trailer with Dixie and K. Rool, or a Villains trailer. I'm thinking a Villains trailer hands-down.

Back on topic with the reveal of 2 new FE characters, 2 DK newcomer seem pretty likely now.

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

I could definitely imagine a Dixie/ King K. Rool double reveal, but a Villain Blowout Trailer sounds plausible as well. I want more villains in this game anyway. There's only two villains confirmed so far, and they're both veterans.

I'm reaaaallly hoping for K. Rool. That Villain Trailer thing sounds like a great idea, but since everyone is kinda expecting it or something like it, I bet it'll be something completely different. And I kinda hope Shulk isn't in at all, and tht Sakurai was in on the leaks, and just messed with us all by telling the Xenoblade writer to retweet his tweet.

why u don want shluk?

I don't have a very good reason. I just don't like him as a character, I find him kind of bland.

Hey, to be fair, the Robin support thread consisted of some very intelligent and level headed people, even during the time we experienced our extreme increase in page numbers due to hype and further support.

 

[InASnowBoundLand]

My friend P. Shop just leaked another image, the new Kaptain K. Rool amiibo. I heard it comes with several DKC2 tracks on it you can unlock when you play the actual game.

I definitely appreciate my friend P.Shop's dedication at leaking images with an instagram photo filter. According to him, the world would be a better place if we all had a layer of beige at 40% opacity overlayed on us at all times.

Well- it depends what Sakurai wants to do with the Kirby franchise. If he continues with this 'four' bit that he has going on, which he surely would know, being the creator, he may want to get a jump start on getting Bandana Dee some more exposure. Hell, he could give BD an official name in smash, and it would stick. I won't sit here defending Bandana all night, but I think it makes a lot of sense especially since Kirby could use four reps if DK has four (if FE has four, if Mario has six, etc).

If DK gets its four main characters, yes, I can see Kirby getting a fourth. Its debateable which franchise is Nintendo's fourth-best selling (or fifth if you count the Wii series of party games, which only appealed to casual gamers), but Kirby and DK are roughly neck-and-neck. I think its DK, though, I really do. I think that, as far as casts go, Kirby deserved its core three characters before DK, but Kirby's fourth character isn't NEARLY as prominent in the Kirby series compared to Dixie and K. Rool in the DK series, so they should get in before Bandana Dee.

Plus DK's third and fifth additions would add both a villain and a female.

I doubt kirby will get a fourth because the 4th option is so incomparable in popularity and relevance to the main three its ridiculous.

 

[JaidynReiman]

I'm in full agreement, I'm just keeping the possibility open. If Kirby ever gets a fourth character it will be Bandana Dee, but the fact is that Bandana Dee was mainly created for the ability to do four-player coop. That's really it. I don't think Kirby will get a fourth character this game, but the option is open.

 

[FalKoopa]

Hey, to be fair, the Robin support thread consisted of some very intelligent and level headed people, even during the time we experienced our extreme increase in page numbers due to hype and further support.

Well, any confirmed character's thread is obviously going to grow by leaps and bounds due to having a deluge of new things to talk about.

 

[Kaptain K. Roolenstein]

My god, I really love the way he looks compared to the other figures. I always loved his Kaptain attire the most, although in my mind, I always imagine the compromise of him in his King form always holding his blunderbuss in the game. If K. Rool makes it in, I'm pretty sure his pirate form has to as well (especially with all the characters having the option to have a lot of unique looks like Wireframe Mac and Murrican Mario).

 

[Xzsmmc]

Gotta say, the recent Famitsu interview concerning the FE newcomers doesn't fill me with hope for K. Rool. Sakurai claims that Chrom would have been just another bland sword user. I don't know the first thing about Fire Emblem, o I can't comment on the truthfulness of that, but what if he just sees K. Rool as another big heavyweight, ala Bowser and DK?

You'd have to know nothing about Donkey Kong Country to think that.

But I suppose Sakurai has surprised me several times already.

Um, dude, what the hell are you talking about? That's all Chrom WOULD'VE been. Yes, he could've been unique, but he didn't bring anything new to the franchise that Ike and Marth didn't already have. Also keep in mind, this is from Fire Emblem specifically. He was looking at the FE newcomers and couldn't think of anything they'd bring new based on the existing cast, which is completely true.

Sakurai's statement only brings me MORE hope for K. Rool. Yes, K. Rool would be a heavyweight, one who has consistently been very resistant to taking damage and is able to soak up damage a lot. Not to mention the fact that K. Rool's abilities from past games would give him an extremely original moveset. Chrom literally is just another sword user. Lucina isn't an example, she was originally just an alt of Marth.


King K. Rool has got nothing on Chrom.

Well I did say that I know nothing about Fire Emblem.

I don't know, I'm just nervous. I think a good part of it is hope, but the other part is trying to prevent myself from getting my hopes up too high. More than ever now, K. Rool has literally nothing going against him, but even the most probable outcome isn't always the actual one

That is the same deal with me when dealing with characters I want in.

 

[JaidynReiman]

Chrom could've been original, that's a fact. That doesn't mean he'd bring anything new to the table. There's plenty of stuff K. Rool can bring to the table, though, same for Dixie Kong (less so, but her hair attacks would look very unique).

Chrom... he might be unique, but he'd still just be another sword user, and most FE fighters play out mostly the same as one another as well.

K. Rool has a lot going for him as well. I'd have been quite frustrated if Sakurai did just add Chrom. After reading through that article, though, I was so happy. Sakurai knew exactly what he should be doing. Some Chrom fans are taking it hard, but Robin was clearly the better choice and Sakurai knew it.

Lucina fails as an argument because she was already a skin of Marth anyway.

 

[FalKoopa]

Chrom could've been original, that's a fact. That doesn't mean he'd bring anything new to the table.

By original, it would probably have gone only as far as different sword swings, I'd say. I don't think he would have gotten a lance or anything like that. It's pretty understandable why he chose Robin in the end. Lucina was lucky. Being "Marth" in her own game means she would have been an easy clone and it would still be very faithful to her.

On the other hand, considering the lack of heavyweights this time, it might as well be a boon for K. Rool.

Exactly my point. Lack of heavyweights and villains? The obvious picks are K. Rool and Ridley, both of whom would be very original.

And yes, when I said Chrom could be original, it was based on sword swings. There's no way they were going to give Chrom a lance. Ike doesn't have an axe, either, unless Sakurai is just hiding it. It would be neat if Ike switched to Urvan for some of his attacks, but its not likely.

 

[Hyle "Slush" Russell]

Considering how much Sakurai has been hinting towards Ridley and essentially trolling the fans about it, I'd have to imagine he also knows of K. Rool's popularity. I kind of doubt that we're going to get a "Villains trailer" in August... I think they're going to make us sweat this out even longer, right to the very end. If K. Rool is in this? We're not going to find out until we find out about Ridley, and that's going to be right before the Japanese release. Sakurai has been saving these reveals because they're the biggest possible ones and would appeal the most to the hardcore community. Lead with Mega-Man at E3 2013, debut Pac-Man at E3 2014, and then reveal K. Rool and Ridley at the game's launch.

Could be, but I think a Villains Trailer is quite likely. Now, a Villains trailer doesn't necessarily HAVE to have K. Rool in it. It could just be Ridley with some veteran villains. Or the Villains trailer could be K. Rool and veterans villain. I just think a Villains Trailer is quite likely.
