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

[Etc_Guy]

Don't mean to be nitpicky, but K. Rool actually fires at DK with the cannonballs. Point blank. I am sorry, but I don't ever recall Bowser ever torching Peach before you fight him. Goes to show how badass K. Rool truly is.

Who's the King of Evil now ?

edit: and I am an idiot. Nevermind, he does both, hits and shoots. Damn son, you got some pent up anger.

Was about to post this, then saw the edit. But I'm gonna post it anyway because why not. He indeed does both.

Part of the Smash for Wii U game description on Amazon includes the following:

Battle with a huge roster of Nintendo’s greatest heroes, villains, and more

I ought to file a complaint that the underlined portion is false advertising, heh.

To be fair, we do have Bowser, Ganondorf, Dark Pit, Bowser Jr, Larry, Roy, Morton, Wendy, Lemmy, and Ludwig. But I agree, we need more villains.

Do we all agree on a general height for him? I know his size varies depending on the game, but I recall it being suggested that he'd be at least Bowser's size. Size is definitely an important factor for him. It's kind of hard not to be intimidated when you see him.

I'd say as tall as Donkey Kong with his back straight but still bending his knees (best comparison: pick DK against Bowser in Training, then Up Taunt next to him).
Keeps him reasonably bigger than DK when he's hunched over and Bowser while still being close enough to the rest of the cast to be feasible.

I would suggest making him completely upright DK height like some in-universe comparisons, but that's too tall.

Correct.

Correct.

I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but a few weeks ago somebody on /r/smashbros made an in depth moveset for K. Rool. It's a pretty interesting concept:

I need 10 post for links aaghh

 

[Zynux]

boom

This is an overall solid game.

The jumping physics is my only major complaint: took a while to get used to since I feel that are a bit too floaty. I feel that some of the hitboxes on the enemies are a bit weird too at times.

But otherwise, so far an awesome job, especially for one-man team.

 

[BKupa666]

'Crown' section of the OP is updated. It basically details what could be done with K. Rool's trademark boomerang to set it apart from every other projectile in the game.

I've added MasterWarlord and kroconut to the Skype group. That brings us up to ten people. Glad to see that this group is expanding as time goes on.

Anyway I tried downloading the Donkey Kong Country fan game but it didn't work. It might have something to do with my dedication RAM being crap.

oh my god...K.Rool's voice in 64 is awesome!

 

[Wintropy]

oh my god...K.Rool's voice in 64 is awesome!

"Yeah! Yeah! Thank you, thank you!"

I love the grunts and noises he makes in the GBA remakes, too. As I said, the "Huh? Huh?!" sound he makes when you cause his blunderbuss to backfire and the scream he makes when he's electrocuted are just so adorably hilarious~

I think the DKC games had western cartoon humor because the developers were British.

hoping whoever the new director gives Metroid and DK more love. I swear, Frigate Orpheon is the most unique Metroid stage and it didn't return, along with a severe lack of some of the best tracks in the franchise!

 

[Wintropy]

Well, there is a distinctly English feel to the games. The colloquialisms and mannerisms of the characters help out a lot of with it, y'know?

It may be for the best. I am speaking from a nonbiased perspective as well. Four games in a row is enough. Let someone else show their perspective of the series.

Western is US, British isn't US

 

[Wintropy]

Western is US, British isn't US

Umm no, Western is anything to the West of Japan in this particular context.

That's why it's called Western and not American.

[Opossum]

British is considered western. Basically all of North and South (I think) America and Europe is considered "West" with Asia making up the "East" more or less.

And then there's Australia.


EDIT: Ten-minute ninja'd.

 

[AwesomeCauliflower68]

who would you guys want to direct the next smash bros

Well australias culture is pretty much western

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I think Iwata or Reggie could potentially be good

I know, I was just pointing out that it's humorously off on its own, and geographically as "east" as Asia anyway, haha. Australia's always messing things up. Don't kill me, Luco or Aerodrome.

Jokes aside, which potential future director do you think would be most partial to adding K. Rool?

Not Miyamoto, that's for sure!

I don't know if you are joking or not, if you aren't reggie and iwata are more of businessmen to nintendo, if you are joking, good one!

 

[Cutie Gwen]

half joking, don't know much people who could be directors, and Iwata has been a director before

Believe it or not, Retro. Moreso if they decide to include him in DKCR3, but Smash is a different beast from DKC in a number of ways that would work in Rool's favor when combined with Retro's mindset.

--Smash isn't "Miyamoto's baby, so don't mess it up!", so there should be less creative restriction with regard to "what point in DKC's legacy to draw from"
--In contrast to a platforming game where it's tempting to make "fresh, new creative" characters, Smash is an all-star fighter, therefore those creative impulses would be spent on existing characters, not original ones
--Retro is a Western company, and thus would be more receptive toward Western franchises, or at least wouldn't flat-out ignore or Flanderize them
--Retro is very aware and receptive to most, if not all fan requests in a way that few companies are

The fly in the ointment is that Retro might prefer to draw exclusively content from their own games, not ones with K. Rool, but considering how big of fans they are of the originals, I don't think that'd happen (and it wouldn't matter if K. Rool starred in DKCR3 to boot).

Retro is actually the best idea I've heard in a long time!

 

[Raxxel]

Only question is if Retro is a big enough studio for Smash.

I think so, I think their latest game was MK8, and they are hiring people,

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

Mr. Sakurai has been developing these games for 15 years without break. I can understand why he would want to finish, but it'll be a strange feeling. But what I'd hope for in a new Super Smash Bros is for it to be like the ones we've enjoyed for so long, with many more Nintendo faces to join - and hopefully the last members of the Big Three will finally be welcome. (King K. and Ridley)

But thank you for uniting so many people across the world.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Nah bros. If anyone is going to handle smash after sakurai leaves....

...Its going to be Hal labs, they have experience with the series, after all, any other suggestions would be false hoping.

I'm pretty sure Ninty would ask Hal labs if sakurai indeed leaves.

 

[BowserK.Rool]

To be fair, we do have Bowser, Ganondorf, Dark Pit, Bowser Jr, Larry, Roy, Morton, Wendy, Lemmy, and Ludwig. But I agree, we need more villains.

Bowser Jr. And the Koopalings are more like henchmen and Dark Pit is NOT a villain. Bowser and Ganondorf are the only true ones right now.

I'm taking this with a grain of salt, he's said this many times before since the n64 version. Being how contradicting he is, I wouldn't be surprised if he came back. But I hope not.

I'm pretty sure they didn't touch Mario Kart 8.

I actually didn't know what nationality Retro was till right now.
