Same. especially since we're paying for him seperately so he better be a good viable, well thought out character. rather tan another poorly planned character with a mountain of very noticable and glaring flaws.(YOU HAD 3 GAMES TO MAKE ZELDA GOOD, SAKURAI. 3 GAMES)
But you said that they were chosen to REPLACE Ice Climbers as an NES rep.
's game was also on the NES, so the "need" for any NES character isn't there. being chosen from concept art and being changed from alternate outfits to full fighters very late in development.
Oh, now I see what you meant. I assume you wanted to say that they added Duck Hunt, because the Ice Climbers had to be cut.
Alright, alright, I get it. Sheesh.But you said that they were chosen to REPLACE Ice Climbers as an NES rep.
This is false. The two both being from the NES was because Retro Nintendo more or less has to be NES.
The Ice Climbers were dropped from the work some time after spring 2014 based on an interview with Sakurai stating that Ice Climbers were giving the team difficulty, not had given in attempt to have them work on the 3DS version.
Sakurai also went on record that the roster was decided before development of the game was, with specific citings of
I'm gonna sound even more pessimistic, but I feel like that may be part of what makes K. Rool's chances not as good as we think. Since we're so organized, we always make sure to spread K. Rool's name wherever we can. I feel like all of us spreading #KrocTheVote means that if we ever see people advocating for K. Rool around the internet, we're just seeing each other's posts, meaning there's not as many of us voting for K. Rool as we think.
Sorry if I was a bit intense.
I don't remember what is this from?Oh wow, look at this! Imagine if it was an actual stage, I'd be so excited! I still want the Gangplank Galleon more!
Do not underestimate wolf. both japan and the west have a high demand for returning characters and out of those wolf is consistantly near the top. I have seen no bandana dee support outside of a few rather dedicated fans on smashboards honestly.
It makes sense to us, is the key difference. Sakurai may feel differently and not value things such as villains and heavyweights.
I'm not underestimating Wolf.
and frankly I can't see one coming back and not the other by a plan... especially with Star Fox having that new game that got hyped up last E3.
Agreed. He NEEDS to get in this time, along with Isaac.
Ya I am having a hard time seeing that too. No more than 6 total is looking like the most they will go for, but they might have a surprise here and there.
Believe me, it's easy to feel down when we're so in the dark about the ballot. There's no objective way to determine who's at the top, but there is a fairly sensible process of elimination you can use to winnow down who's a viable contender. From what we see online, the characters rivaling K. Rool are veterans and third parties. Veterans will likely already be considered, whereas most third parties are some combination of one-off, Western-centric, or first party rival-owned.
That flying ship first appeared in Donkey Kong 64, but I do not know who has made the artwork and where it came from.
To be fair, Geno was really wanted back in Brawl days, and is a great character. If you haven't played Super Mario RPG, I highly recommend it.
Actually, it first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2. It's where you fight Kaptain K. Rool.
I've played Super Mario RPG since it came out. It's a fantastic game. But there was never an argument about Geno's inclusion in Brawl based on his importance to Nintendo and Mario (or even just Super Mario RPG).
Yeah, that's a high quality model of the Flying Kroc from DKC2.
I always thought the Ship Deck 2 song was a sign that one day we would get our most beloved King. Not to mention, the official/alternate name for the song is "King K. Rool". What a great reveal song that would be...
I'd like to a hear a new remix of it maybe with the jolly roger intro then cuts to a rock theme of it, that'd be cool.Something like this:
Mewtwo got the Victory Road music as his trailer music, so I'm pretty sure K. Rool will get his theme that's already in game.
Honestly, I could give a few, but I try to avoid these debates because they get... Messy...
I'd honestly just prefer Gangplank Galleon, tbh.
That is one of the main reasons I love this character to death....that is true insanity..whether that was planned by Rare or not is so amazing to me. O.O
This. Sakurai at the very least clearly does not value villians as right now after 4 entries only mario, zelda, and kirby have a iconic villian character.(starfox had one too before smash 4 ofcourse) and in total there are only 3 reoccuring main villians, 1 lesser villian(bowser jr.), and only a few rivals(wario, metaknight, dark pit) despite the fact that nintendo has a treasure trove of much beloved villians. and the fact that series such as f-zero, donkeykong and metroid still are lacking in characters despite having great playable character potential in their series and being common demands amongst the fans.
If that's the case then hopefully it will get moved from the kongo jungle 64 stage and onto the new gg one(if there is one for dlc).
Believe me, I really want that to happen, and I have a good feeling it could happen.
Agreed, I'd love to see the alt. songs on there for it too. Chances are we could still get one or 2 variations of it along with different remixes from the DKC series like crococodile cacophony, lockjaw's saga, jib jig aka mainbrace mayhem, and snakey chantey.
The reason why it's contradictory is because if the lack of a recent appearance killed King K. Rool, why didn't it do the same for Duck Hunt? It makes no sense to pick a character like Duck Hunt for being gone even longer when by the time the roster was decided (mid-2012), Duck Hunt has been gone for twenty-eight years. I seriously doubt a need to "rep" Duck Hunt was a factor in the character's inclusion nor do I think they were chosen primarily due to being "so dead it's retro".
Ha, won't it be great if/when, one day, people can reupload that song to YouTube attached to an actual render of K. Rool instead of Diddy?
AMEN!!! ....that day will come..whether its 2015, 2016, or (lets see, hypothetically, when will Smash 5 come out..?.) 2025-2030.
I once read a good Youtube comment (imagine that) as to how a Scorch N Torch stage could work.
