I've heard of this, and its really quite a lame idea. K. Rool has more than enough material to work with as a fully playable character.It's the only rational thing to do.
I don't know if this has been discussed yet (and I'm too lazy to check) but an interesting rumour/"leak"- while not really debated much on the forums I've seen it (from what I can tell)- poses a question in my mind.
The rumour in question concerns a mode in the Wii U version where you fight (with the Gamepad) as the stage bosses present on the specific stages. King. K. Rool named as one of them.
Hypothetically (I personally will believe it when I see it but otherwise sounds bull), what would be your reaction to that, dear Kutthroats?
It'd be something at least. I wouldn't be ecstatic but I'd be fine.
Of course his chances would've increased dramatically (95% of the fandom would think he's a shoe-in), but people are acting like its impossible for K. Rool to get in because he wasn't. The fact is that K. Rool has a long history of being the main antagonist of the DK series, appearing in every DK main game until Returns and every spinoff except for Jungle Beat (barring Mario crossovers, where he's appeared once). And hell, everyone made the SAME arguments against Diddy Kong because he wasn't in the primary game represented in Brawl, "Jungle Beat."Okay, are you going to seriously tell me that if K. Rool was in Donkey Kong Country Returns his chances for being in this game wouldn't have increased dramatically?
I'm not a detractor by the way, I want K. Rool in and I think he still has a chance (especially as DLC.) Maybe relevancy isn't the right word, how about this: right now, K. Rool is not as important to the DK franchise as he would have been if he was in Returns. DKC has proven that it can sell very well with out him (Returns was the second best selling installment in the series.) If K. Rool becomes a focal point of the series again, then his chances of getting into Smash Bros. will increase, although it would be possible for him to get in regardless.
