That still makes me stop and think. It's totally true, but people seldom stop and consider that that's the case.
It's not compared more because Ganon is a veteran. If K. Rool was, you can guarantee that people wouldn't use his absence against him.
That's exactly it, yeah. Funny how that works. Makes me want to see the Kremling King in Smash even more now!
The big thing here is, if it wasn't for the Rare buyout, K. Rool would've definitely been in Brawl and Diddy Kong would've been in Melee.
The DK franchise is the biggest franchise not to have its full core cast yet. Zelda has the Triforce (along with two variants of the Triforce), Mario has its four main characters along with rising stars, two of Mario's subfranchises have their own characters (Wario/Yoshi), Kirby has its core cast, DK is really the only one of Nintendo's biggest franchises to not have its core cast yet. DK, Diddy, K. Rool, and Dixie.
Wow, I never actually considered that. Quite an interesting (and accurate!) comparison.
Ganondorf still is relevant though. He was in both Wind Waker HD and Hyrule Warriors and I would bet money on him being the main antagonist in Zelda U. If only Smash 64 had more resources and time or Microsoft weren't complete jerk-offs (oh there it is again) we coulda had K. Rool in Melee. We just have to keep making our voices heard and recruit as many Kutthroats as we possibly can! K. Rool still has a chance!
well wwhd was a remake and hyrule warriors is a spinoff, i don't see them as counting
They are still games that are recent. Regardless of them being a remake and a spin-off, they still make Ganondorf a relevant character.
Rereleases don't count, and Hyrule Warriors is a spinoff, so it doesn't count either. Ganondorf hasn't been in any new "main" Zelda title since 2006. He's irrelevant, get over it and stfu.
Dude calm down. Jeez, you don't need to get so salty over someone's opinion. This is why I like half of the Smash community and hate the other. Some people just can't accept the fact that others have a different opinion than they do.
I think that Jaidyn was just mimicking one of K. Rools detractors. I don't think he actually meant that last part.
Which isn't honestly possible because K. Rool is nothing like Jigglypuff in any way, shape, or form. It'd be Bowser or Dedede if anyone.
Lol, sarcsam. Raxxel is exactly right; I was being completely facetious. That's EXACTLY what K. Rool detractors say about K. Rool's history, claiming that spinoffs and re-releases/remakes "don't count," and ultimately K. Rool's timeline is restricted exclusively to the original DKC trilogy (blatantly ignoring the Land games, which are entirely separate games with separate stories) and DK64, dropping the rest of K. Rool's history all the way to 2008 as "irrelevant" because they're not "main" games (and I personally would disagree; the climber games were spinoffs, but those "were" the main DK games at the time, I think they SHOULD be counted, even though they're not DKC games).
Problem is, people don't view K. Rool and Dixie as important characters because of the caricature of the DK franchise they're familiar with. To them, "DK is a series about Donkey Kong and other monkeys going on adventures," and therefore, because we have DK and "a monkey rep," we're all set. That caricature neglects that there is an underlying villain driving the Kongs to go on the vast majority of their adventures, as well as another key monkey who's racked up a formidable slew of starring roles.
He was being sarcastic. Maybe you're being sarcastic, too, and the irony keeps going...
ganondorf is brown, don't believe the lies
I could make a clone moveset for K. Rool using Jigglypuff
.
I know. But that happens with every franchise, honestly.
K. Rool's last DKC game was what? Jungle Climber?
To be fair, I was being a little sh** about the way I handled that, but whatever. :DOh, well sorry for not understanding the sarcasm. It's hard to tell when you aren't talking to someone face-to-face
King of Swing and Jungle Climber.
Don't forget K. Rool also appeared in King of Swing for the GBA (no idea if that is a main-series game or not) and I'm pretty sure A LOT of Zelda fans consider Twilight Princess to be the best or one of the best titles in the Zelda franchise.
King of Swing and Jungle Climber basically were the main DK platforming games on the GBA. I'd say they do count, but detractors claim they're not.
From my experience, mainly the ones who don't have newcomers in a given Smash game.
Yes, sorry I took it a bit too literally.
I think they count, at least a bit, because we got a Ocarina of Time Stage in the 3DS version, if it was based on the 64 game, we would have got the stage in the Wii U version.
One of the things letters can't do, is express sarcasm. And I have to agree with the rest.
)The parallel universe theory says, that every case is possible, no matter if "K. Rool is a Jigglypuff clone." or "Mario is a K. Rool clone.". But I really don't want to bring this discussion in here, last time I talked about it, I argued with my brother for nearly 2 hours.
I legit lol'd. Well played, good sir, well played.

Kid Icarus is about Pit's isolation, and yet we can't isolate him, his Goddess, and his Linkin Park fan self from their senpai and master Sakurai.
Ahh, okay.
So like Zelda Muso they're spin-offs=??? Still 1 more appearance in a main DK(C) game than Ganondorf in a Zelda game.
Honestly, I'd actually count the Land games as "main" games, too (no, they're not remakes at all, they're direct sequels to each of the main DKC games). The Mario Land games are all counted as "Main" Mario games, so I don't really see much of a difference. I'm just saying that the general population doesn't count them.Kid Icarus is about Pit's isolation, and yet we can't isolate him, his Goddess, and his Linkin Park fan self from their senpai and master Sakurai.
Ahh, okay.
(I wouldn't know as I played neither of them)

And unlike Ganondorf with Twilight Princess, K. Rool hasn't appeared in a "meh-tastic" and over hyped game. #AgainShotsFired
(not that Twilight Princess is a bad game, it's just it's not an exceptional one, and it's not the second coming of Christ like it was hyped to be)
Better yet;
