I just read through this entire thread. Im 200% glad Im in the Kuthroats. SO much passion and loyalty to this guy.
MUCH more than ANY over support thread on here. BAR NONE.
everyones so respectful.
Most people in America want Ridley, but I wanna argue something:
K Rool is more than a villain. More than DK's long forgotten arch enemy.
He's our childhood. Our history.
He means more to nintendo then a lot of the characters already in the roster.
If he's not included, especially over someone like Lucina or Robin, this is more than a misstep by sakurai.
Hes not stupid, he knows K Rool is in demand.
At the very least, the King will be back in this game in some way, shape, or form. NOT just a trophy,
the King IS coming back. ANd retros third DK game WILL have him in it. This break from K rool is a blessing in disguise.
He leaves for a decade, comes back and he's the king of the world. look at the koopalings!
They were absent for 15 years, then made a huge huge comeback. K Rool will be no different.
In fact on top of smash, he may be mario kart DLC to back peddle off the smash 4 release.
