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

[EricTheGamerman]

Damn I see the trophy for King K. Rool just as I'm downloading the new demo for 3DS. I'm very sad to see King K. Rool not in, but man just having a little demo to play has made all the difference for me and reminded me at the end of the day Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS is still an insanely fun game to play who has some great newcomers like Mega Man in it. King K. Rool really should have been in from the start this time, and he might just end up on the roster through DLC, Wii U unlock, whatever, but I'm not going to hold my breath for him.

I'll never have the same blind hope for a Smash games roster, or look really that deeply into anything Sakurai does again, that's for certain, so it has been a needed learning experience for me in some ways I suppose, but I'll be back around to support our King for the next Smash, and always will as long as he's not in, and support him as a character in another DK game as well. Man I would have loved to have seen him this time around, but the anger and frustration are going, and I'm starting to already accept everything for what it is, and part of it is really great.

As a token of appreciation to this thread, anyone here who has been somewhat of a regular here and doesn't have an NA copy of the Smash 3DS demo, I've got two I'm willing to give out, first come, first serve of course, PM me and don't post in the thread about it if you want one.

At this point I'd be surprised if Dk gets a new stage in the wii u

 

[JaidynReiman]

Lol, no. DK WILL get a new Wii U stage, Sakurai doesn't hate us THAT much. That's about the max new content we'll get, though.

 

[ultimatekoopa]

Dk can't even afford an AT in his eyes, if we get a new one, it will probably be a terrible stage

 

[Banjodorf]

Guys...just...somebody hold me. I'm pretty cry right now.

I was all fine with the roster, but the complete lack of DK content, especially since he's finally been in the spotlight, is just really ****ing stupid. What the hell?

Well, salt aside, it's been excellent serving with you, Kutthroats! Who knows what'll come for the King between now and the next iteration. I'm not sure I'll be around for speculation, but if I am, I look forward to serving with you again.

Never stop being "One of Us".

Good night, my King.

 

[pupNapoleon]

Guys, this may not be the place for it, but I know of a another DK rep that has been in more games than Dixie or K.Rool.

Cranky Kong! He's the last possible character that they could include at this point, K Rool and Dixie are just trophies. If Patches are confirmed (and people have found that smash takes up data space but has some empty so DLC is confirmed) Then the only possible character is the original kong himself. He's in nearly every DK game, so he isn't irrelevant or a one-off character like the Tikis, and he could be unique with his pogo stick gimmick from Tropical Freeze.

The DK series deserves more, and Cranky Kong is all that's left. So what do you say?

Cranky is also a trophy, though.

Not that I think being a trophy means being deconfirmed, especially if it is timed release or another version.

There's no shame in being disappointed and angry. Sakurai apologists will try to just call you salty in order to dismiss your points, but our points are reasonable and objective. Don't let anyone belittle your dissatisfaction.

The lack of DK content is truly baffling - I don't think we fooled ourselves in this thread when it was largely agreed, DK is in for some new content. Be it a newcomer, a stage, or anything. So far it looks like basically nothing.

I really thought that DKCR's immense popularity would carry through to one newcomer, maybe even two, I was very wrong. At a point you have to give up trying to guess Sakurai's mindset, as it seems like even one of the most popular and under-represented series can be ignored for his own games or obscurer series that already are well-represented, just 'cause. There may be more in the Wii U version, as the lack of content for DK right now is unreal.

The one thing we can agree on at the very least is that DK will get a new stage on Wii U. I'm not counting on anything else, though. No, we didn't fool ourselves into thinking DK would get new content. The fact is, DK is the #1 veteran franchise deserving of new content due to its massive popularity and appeal. The #1 most wanted and requested Nintendo newcomer also came from this franchise as well.

Cranky is also a trophy, though.

Not that I think being a trophy means being deconfirmed, especially if it is timed release or another version.

Well, anyone not on the roster is deconfirmed for being on the main roster. A timed release thing is still possible, as well as DLC. I'd say anyone whose got anything more than a trophy is deconfirmed, though, and Cranky appears on the Jungle Japes stage. If K. Rool is a stage hazard on Wii U, I'd take it, its at least SOMETHING more showing that K. Rool is important. However, if K. Rool is truly DK's answer to Bowser's Mario as even Sakurai believes, K. Rool is important enough to be a playable character, whether through DLC or something else.

That description was aimed at us, guys. Sakurai is telling us, even though he couldn't make K. Rool playable, he's still important to the DK franchise, exactly as we've been saying all along. And frankly I think that's the biggest thing we all wanted (right next to K. Rool being playable, obviously). Even if K. Rool isn't DLC, I do see good things with K. Rool in the future.

 

[VelocityHill]

Can I become a last-minute Kremling Kutthroat too? I was sure Sakurai would give us at least one DK newcomer, be it Dixie or K. Rool. Both of them are great characters who should've been in together. To see neither of them in leaves a gaping hole in the game for me. The fact that Sakurai has pretty much ignored a series as colourful as Donkey Kong altogether is a terrible shame.

I've been watching this thread for some time, and there's such a respectible and welcoming community here. I hope we can all pull together, and one way or another, get the Kremling King playable in Smash 4.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

What does K. Rool's trophy state?

 

[JaidynReiman]

What does K. Rool's trophy state?

I don't know exactly, I didn't see anything about a full translation, but it does state that K. Rool is to DK as Bowser is to Mario, which is exactly what everyone in this thread has been saying.

Interesting.

 

[Bananija]

@ BKupa666 can you send me an invitation for the big 4 alliance please?

Also it's really sad that K.Rool, bad for us, fans, and for the DK franchise in general. However there still a little hope for DLC. I will never stop to support the king!

 

[M&Mavocado]

Hey guys, I haven't been around thanks to school and stuff, but I've always been supporting King K. Rool. I'm still holding out a faint, vague hope that the entire roster hasn't been unlocked yet, although that is unlikely. In fact, the Big 3 and Waddle Dee were the only characters I really wanted in Smash, and none of them are in (also Wolf appears to be cut but that's another story). Wow.

But I've made peace with it and I'm sure I'll be able to find a newcomer I like to play as, even if I don't like the characters themselves nearly as much as the Big 3. Still, I can't help but feel like Sakurai made a mistake not including these insanely popular characters. Oh well, that's life. See you guys around for Smash 5! You're all a great community and I'm so glad to have been a part of it.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

There better be an amazing stage and a **** ton of music for the lack of Dixie, K. Rool OR even ****ing Cranky. Seriously, I'm cool with the roster but this just kinda baffles me that there is so little rep now that the series is back.

 

[Deleted member]

*Sigh* Hello guys, I know this is very late, but I would fully welcome his inclusion. He really deserves the third spot for DK rep. Anyway, hopefully he gets to be playable eventually.(And hopefully will be the villain of the next Donkey Country game.)

 

[Wiinner159]

Soo..... I know it's been a while since I've posted here, but BKupa, any chance you could add me to the Big 4 Alliance? Was a follower of this thread for a good long time and was a somewhat active Ridley supporter. (Hopefully I can figure out how to accept an invite if you deem me worthy, cause this is literally the first and probably only forum I'd be on)

 

[El Chunko]

Not sure if news or not...

The translation gives hope though, especially towards the end "...the Kongs are always watching for his Gangplank Galleon, perhaps it may surprise them sooner than they think!"

Im calling it now: Gangplank Galleon confirmed for Wii U!

 

[El Chunko]

I would pay for the game three times over if it meant getting the king in.

Needless I mention, to my knowledge, it patched a whole new mode to the game.

I'm sure if they can do that they can add a character or two

 

[Banjodorf]

**** it. I'll take a stage boss. I just need to SEE him.

At least, despite all his faults. Sakurai still recognizes that K. Rool is important, MUCH more important than Tong and Freddy, too.

Lets hope for that Gangplank Galleon stage, at least. And of course see how DLC is going to work.

 

[APC99]

Nope. I'll add the last few people during one last update.

I'd like to be added as well, for K. Rool's sake.

It's been nice serving with you guys, and a learning experience. However, I've got enough hope for some eventual appearance on the Wii U version...

 

[FlareHabanero]

I'm not a "Sakurai apologist", but I would at least want context on why K. Rool and Dixie were rejected, if it's brought up. Depending on the wording, it may clarify on some details, unless it's only "I hate all of you #rekt".

 

[KawaiiPiranha]

Good night sweet prince ;_;7

Wellp, that's that.
I still think there'll be characters that get added when the Wii U version comes out, but I guess K.Rool isn't one of them.
That's really disappointing.

 

[WayfaringElf]

We've never seen that model before
or Dixie's
hold your horses

 

[CJ Falcon]

Awww, poor Rool. He looks so happy, though...

Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!

 

[BravadoMan_13]

I miss Rare.

We all do. It was for me, a golden age for the SNES and Nintendo 64. Nintendo and Rare fit together like a glove. If only the buyout didn't happen.

 

[Xzsmmc]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: K. Rool being a stage boss is better than nothing. I'd love DLC, but if he's a stage boss, and if Playable Stage Bosses is a thing, I'll take it. I'd rather have him a fully playable character, but hey, its something at least. He's at least acknowledging what we Kutthroats all believed: K. Rool is an extremely important part of the DK franchise.

If this translation is true....
Expect Retro to bring back the kremlings soon.
Or Gangplank Galleon on wii u.
Either way.

 

[JaidynReiman]

I'd say both. I figured the Kremlings were coming back to DKC anyway.

Put him in the public eye. That's all I ask.

 

[El Chunko]

Does it really say that?

From what I gather; theres a lot of translations floating around the internet of the trophy and ppl there seem to be the most reports of sometihng along these lines

 

[cmbsfm]

I feel like I should have posted in here more often. Not having K.Roll sucks, I've always thought he was a great villain and character in general. I wanted K. Rool to be in tropical freeze but, he can make his return in DKCR 3 hopefully and maybe make full appearance in smash.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I'm getting visions of the Pit trophy from Melee.

Or DLC! Maybe they just wanted to promote K. Rool when a new DK game (like Diddy Kong Racing 2) was announced.

Lol, grasping at straws, but I love that trophy description. Even though K. Rool isn't playable, Sakurai still understands how the fans feel. Makes me a lot less salty about lack of K. Rool.

My post in the Dixie thread.

The DK franchise got Bodied, Destroyed, Ruined and Wrecked in this game.

I could handle Ridley biting the dust. I don't agree, but he was always a controversial character and I always found it likely for him to just be a Boss in the end. Mewtwo, again, I could handle: it baffles me, but he missed out in Brawl. him missing out here was still possible.

But I don't know what to think about the lack of DK content...it's truly...bizarre. Very surreal.

""King K. Rool is to Donkey Kong as to what the evil king Bowser is to Mario -- a rival. Despite being an alligator he wears a crown, and is quite arrogant. Even if he were a friend rather than foe, he does not seem to be too reliable of a guy. The day King K. Rool turns over a new leaf and becomes an ally --will probably not come."

Here you go!

Well, at the very least it's a good trophy description. Glad he got some recognition and there's nothing about his "brother."

Please, at the very least, give us a Gangplank Galleon stage. Hell, I'll even take Stage Boss K. Rool at this point.

I was content with the idea of a K. Rool stage boss a long time ago. This thread changed my mind, but in the prospect of no K. Rool at all (except a trophy), I'd be content with that. Especially if the rumor about Playable Bosses exclusive to Wii U being true.

Odd thing, he was DK's ally in the Mario baseball game for Wii.
