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

[Jestar]

Long arms == reach.

Tell that to

 

[Warlock*G]

Tell that to

Shhhhh.

 

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

I think grabbing with his arms make sense, as he's got these mammoth arms anyway. Long arms == reach.

True, arms would make sense as a grab as well. The vacublus would feel nostalgic though, and it would be unique.

 

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

As far as balancing goes, I would just make K. Rool's physical attacks on the weaker side if he's a fast heavyweight.

K. Rool never relies purely on brute force in his boss fights, he always uses his tools and environment to his advantage.

So, a fast, flexible heavy weight, with slow/mid speed projectiles mostly, and weaker physical attacks? Sounds good to me! (Now lets just hope Sakurai shares the same sentiments.)

 

[SuperiorYoshi87]

As long as K. Rools krown throw is fast, or atleast as quick as Links boomerang and I'll be set. Oh the zoning opertunities......

It should be fast like the boomerang, with the vertical knock back of ZSS plasma whip, Or is that asking too much? BTW, in a perfect world, the krown should be his side b imo.

 

[IggyKoopa66]

Should K. Rool use his scepter as a smash attack? Bat at someone like Ness or Lucas, only a lot harder?

I agree it's more comfortable to me anyway for it to be side B.

That would be interesting, if they grab moves from the more recent game appearances of the King I could see that being a potential Smash attack

 

[Welshy91]

It's certainly applicable, but this is a forward smash, a characters go-to attack to end the stock of some miserable fool. Would you really want K. Rool's forward smash, his coup de grace, to come from a spinoff sports game? The pharaoh motif is his least memorable one, and I would argue that K. Rool's forward smash should be derived from something more central to the character. I'm personally against him utilizing weapons in his standards, I think he should use his most common method of inflicting pain, his strength. Give him some sort of brutal melee attack, be it a overhead smash, chomp attack, belly smack, but I would personally prefer some kind of full body charge.

Peach seemed to have no problems... Maybe like Peach they could alter between the scepter and the blunderbuss?

 

[AwesomeCauliflower68]

I want K Rool's forward smash to be a short burst of fire coming out of the blunderbuss. It should have the same effects as Marios forward smash but more powerful.

Why the hell they didn't use this incaration of K.Rool outside of a ****ing BASEBALL GAME still makes me

It's kinda cool too that his outfit is more relevant to the DK series than people realize, because of Angry Aztec. Remember all the Aztec themed ruins in DKC1? His outfit is Aztec themed so is the field in the game lol

Well, they, unfortunately, didn't use K.Rool since this baseball game...

 

[egaddmario]

So i beat Donkey Kong Country today. All of my support for K.Rool had previously come from my experience with DK64. But after fighting him in DKC, oh man. The crown boomerang, a staple in movesets on here, wasn't tough to dodge, but it was him looking into the camera that got me. What a dork. That look just says, "I goofed." And that cannonball attack? That was harder to dodge than the little hops he takes after the kredits. AND THE KREDITS THEMSELVES. So silly. He has my support even more now.

Hello everyone I would like team up with you guys

Welkome to the Krew, Matey!!!

 

[SuperiorYoshi87]

@ Diddy Kong inspired me today when he was saying it's a shame they never used the Sluggers K. Rool alter ego in a game. So while I was in my break I threw together a rough sketch of K. Rool based on his Aztec design from sluggers and how I'd imagine he'd look in a DKC game. Koatl K. Rool lol I really just added a feathered headdress to his design.

 

[StormC]

I think he should use his most common method of inflicting pain, his strength.

But... that's not his most common method.

In DKC1 he throws his crown at you and summons cannonballs from the sky.
In DKC2 he shoots projectiles and pistol whips you with his blunderbuss (my personal choice for his forward smash).
In DKC3 he tries to electrocute you and shoots cannonballs from the background.

Only in DK64 does he become a particularly physical fighter.

 

[JaidynReiman]

Yeah, sorry @ Wintropy , but K. Rool is more of a projectile and trap fighter than a physical fighter. K. Rool is all about trickery and deceit even outside of his boss battles. He is strong, yes, but that's not his "most common" method of inflicting pain.

 

[Wintropy]

Sorry... I always see you commenting around Smashboards (especially often around here) and I guess I saw the "W" and "y" and I was like "WINTROPY!"


Damn... I feel dumb now. -_-

Well, you could argue that his charges in between his crown throws to bowl you over is technically using his strength. I still agree with you though that he doesn't normally use sheer strength to inflict pain.

[BigJuicyMeatball]

WHO WANT TO DO THE BOOTY BOOGIE?!

 

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

For an alt costume for Smash, what if K. Rool just borrowed Sir Frederiks Nordic outfit? His fur pants, shoulder things, wrist bracelets, horned helmet, and the like.

 

[Tortilla Noggin]

You know, this talk of K. Rool's common methods just reminds me that all of K. Rool's guises, at least in the DKC trilogy, poked fun at video game villain/final boss tropes. I wonder if any new things in that vein might sneak into a Smash moveset, given this?

It'd be... kool.

You know guys I been thinking all this talk about King K Rool moveset did we ever think that maybe sakurai will pull a Bower jr on us? what I mean is before smash 4 what was the one thing BJr supporters talk about for BJr moveset? his paintbrush and his final smash being clown car jr instead we got bowser jr moveset be all clown car jr nobody seen that one coming I'm just saying I see that happening to K Rool if he make it into smash 4 for DLC.

 

[Sirfishe]

I got a cool thing they can do with his crown throw. it'll be like a boomerang but If you press the b button quick, he'll throw is crown but there won't be as much distance. so it be a shorter throw. but.. IF you hold the b button for a longer period of time the further the crown will go. It can be like those charged up moves that the longer you hold b the stronger it will get or go farther

 

[BowserK.Rool]

What I hate about e3 the most is waiti

I hope they don't swallow that.

Seriously though, I think K. Rool should be ok, I mean, at least Bowser Jr.'s moveset is canon to the current Mario games. With K. Rool though, I'm expecting at least his blunderbuss and crown toss since those seem to be the most iconic moves about him.

I still see 'ViKing' K. Rool as a gigantic missed opportunity. The name rolls off the tongue so well it's not even funny.

I suggest not using that abbreviation if you want your post to be taken seriously.

Anyway, it's possible to see a couple of moves taken from him - particularly the cannonball, but the not much besides that. K. Rool obviously won't have that Clown Kart Dash, or Mechakoopas (I know people have suggested Klap Traps are replacements, but I don't think that's likely).

EDIT: I misunderstood. I don't see how differently Sakurai would interpret him - most of his moves come quite naturally. Krown Toss as B, Blunderbuss as Side B, and Helicopter Pack as Up B.

I did end up liking his final design, actually, look who's the OP of the thread:

I made it exactly a day before Tropical Freeze's Japanese release.

Hey guys how cool would it be if we had a komodo dragon type enemy as part of the Kremling Krew?

One of my original characters i created is based, not of directly on a komodo dragon, but on a giant lizard with tree tails that looks a bit like one.

A lizard-like creature using fire? Where have I heard of that?
