K. Rool fits perfectly, there's nothing standing in his way, and half of the new characters we've heard of so far weren't really "needed" either. Now, I do agree that people shouldn't expect K. Rool at every single update. But I think K. Rool does deserve to be playable in this game and I'd be sorely disappointed if he isn't.
Here's the link to the video:

Frankly, the sales numbers and Lucina makes me think we'll get both. Before Lucina I doubted Dixie, but now I think we'll get both.
It was initialized as a precaution, primarily during the time when everyone thought Gematsu was Gospel. As time went on we keep getting more and more hints towards K. Rool potentially already being playable, although nothing is definite. That said, I believe at this point K. Rool has about an 85% chance of being playable, right behind Ridley at 95%.
I think whether both of them get in hinges on the size of the roster. Lucina was a late addition so Fire Emblem was intended to have three characters.
Yes, but the DK franchise is far bigger than Fire Emblem. I know Lucina was a late addition, but based on everything Sakurai has stated, she was probably made into a fully original character after they almost finalized most of the existing characters already. DK is a huge, huge franchise, and more than deserves four reps. Dixie is also capable of being a semiclone of Diddy (although she is more than capable of being a fully original character in her own right), so even if they didn't already have Dixie as an alt of Diddy, it wouldn't be particiularly hard to make her and make a few adjustments to her so she uses her hair instead of tail like Diddy does, and has a different up special.
Agreed. That line was the stupidest thing I ever heard. There's literally no one more important to add to this game than King K. Rool of the established franchises, except for Ridley, but both are on the same level.
Don't forget Dark Pit, he's an integral part of Nintendo's history and the roster would fall apart without him!
It would seriously sting like someone putting their cigarette out in the eye if Dark Pit got in over King K. Rool; I don't really want to be mean to those who want him, but he's seriously the worst addition they could possible think of. He's even worse than Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach to me, and they're the two worst additions to the Mario verse that have ever been conceived. I wouldn't even begin to be able to fathom how he could get in over Dark Samus or Dark Link, either.
Oh please no.
I think he'd be better off as just an alt. costume for Pit.
Don't be ridiculous. Dark Pit and Pink Gold Peach and Ghirahim are much more deserving characters over the likes of, say, Medusa, Paper Mario, Isaac, Pig Ganon, Porky, Ridley, K. Rool...
I hope this is sarcasm.
I know you're being sarcastic but those characters you mentined besides k. rool and ridley are actually way more better choices than most of the newcomers we've gotten. Is Sakurai high when making these decisions in newcomers or does he really not care if this game has a bad roster compared to the previous installments?
I'm not initiated here Aether.......I feel like the only one here who's posted and has yet to be initiated into the group. I feel left out
Hey! Ghirahim is legit! And I've actually never heard anyone support porky until now, interesting... Seriously though k rool better be in
I'm sorry, but when I think "potential Zelda newcomer", I think this:
You know until you posted that picture of Ganon I hadn't really thought of him as all that successful of a playable newcomer, but a big hulking beast somewhat similar to Bowser as a newcomer, count me in for that!I'm sorry, but when I think "potential Zelda newcomer", I think this:
Rather than this:
You should understand my plight. K. Rool was a major reoccurring antagonist to the franchise for a number of games, and then suddenly he's displaced by some oneshot antagonists in the more recent games.
Also they're rather rotund, kings of monsters, and assume tons of disguises.
Marketing: save the best for last.
With some big names like Mega Man or Little Mac sprinkled here and there. You don't want people to abandon you early on.
I don't think a 4th generic anime newcomer is all too likely (and 4th newcomer who uses a sword). I'd find the main villain of Nintendo's 4th most successful and populer IP to be more likely than that.
I don't think ghirahim would displace k rool, I think k rool ought to get in any way. No one should take the kings spotI'm sorry, but when I think "potential Zelda newcomer", I think this:

That's true, I just hope what you say ends up being true and we don't end up getting one or two more reveal trailers with a bunch of unwanted characters.
That's been a worry of mine for a long time. I just want some closure already. It's been over three years since the game was announced, and I've been agonizing about it since.
You Know, I've been here for a while, and yet this is the first time I've ever actually bothered to listen to this song...........
Easy!
