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

[POKEMANSPIKA]

Miyamoto: By the way, we are creating DLC for Mario Politics

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Had "FE-ROY4DLC" in For Glory today. Met someone who replied with "KROOL4DLC". Told him that I "VOTED" and he replied "NICE".

Seems like K.Rool-fans are quite out there.

 

[BKupa666]

I wear the nametag "VOTEK.ROOL" into all my For Glory matches. A decent number of people taunt in acknowledgment when they see it, although one guy changed his name to "NO.INKLING" in response. Killjoy.

 

[FancySmash]

Honestly, King K. Rool looks to be the biggest contender in the ballot. They'd foolish to see this and say "nah, let's just add the next one on the ballot."

Even though I'm not the biggest K. Rool supporter, I definitely wouldn't mind seeing him come to Smash. But if the scenario above actually happens, I'd actually be pretty upset.

In retrospect, this is probably a bad idea to bring up, but what would you guys do if said scenario did happen?

What scenario, No Inklings or Mario Politics, cuz personally I'd love Mario Politics (I don't like politics in real life but wutevah)
No Inklings would suck.

I've been using the same name since April 1st. I encountered some guy the other night who changed his name to "Vote-Shrek" after he saw my K. Rool name, then I changed mine to "FARQUAAD" after I won the match. With DK, might I add. Flawless victory.

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

Found some kool art of our king on google after looking up sexy King K. Rool (I was trying to compete with Farquaad's nips)

This is a good idea. I have my streetpass message set as that, too.

Oh, sorry. I meant the scenario I set up, that K. Rool would be the winner of the ballot, but then being put aside for the next character (2nd place) on the ballot as the choice to include. If he isn't included, with all this fan support, I'd just feel a bit betrayed.

Actually, Mario Politics sounds fine. We'd need Kirby DLC too though, that King Dedede.

[Game&Watcher]

E3 2015:
Miyamoto - We have been developing a brand new Mario game, I hope you enjoy.

This doesn't look that promising to me, I preferred Mario Ballet and Mario City Simulator.

Don't worry. It'll get DKC DLC and Kirby DLC at launch for like 30 bucks. And microtransactions.

BREAKING NEWS! Monkey ninjas have raided DK's banana horde! They were probably out looking for a snack, while they were STEALING THE CRYSTAL COCONUT!
Cranky: WHAT ARE YOU BAFOONS SITTING AROUND FOR!? WE NEED TO GET THE CRYSTAL COCONUT BACK! IT HAS MAGICAL POWERS AND IF IN THE WRONG HANDS...
: Well at least Krool, Scurvy, and Bluster didn't steal it this time.
: BUT THEY STOLE MY BANANAS!
Bluster: This looks like a job for Bluster the benevolent.
Krool: Oh no, Nobody but me can steal the crystal coconut, thus I want you to find the vile monkeys that robbed me of my coconut.
Cranky: Hold on Krool, that's not your coconut, its Donkey Kong's after all Inka Dinka Do picked him, don't ask me why, to be the future ruler of Kongo bongo island.
Krool: Well then take a look at these images of the culprits, if any of you know who's behind this, tell me and I'll take out the monkey scum, and reclaim my Crystal Coconut. After all,

So find me the leader of these monkeys so I can crush them

They were clearly saying they didn't want Inklings for Smash, what's wrong with that?

Hoo, I kinda wondered why the name "Phazon" felt scratching my memory about. But yeah. Small world...

Alrighty-o, I'll add ya when I can.

 

[MandoBardanJusik]

Rool will team up with anyone in Sluggers... So we'll just say he's teaming up with Mario. Also notice how K. Rool is the player with the most enemies in the game, he has bad chemistry with all the Kongs and Bowser. (The latter because of competition in the world domination market)

Things like that make me wonder if Peach has to play nice with K. Rool politically like how some world powers have to play nice with leaders who are obviously evil simply because their both enemies of another. That'd be worth exploring in an RPG...

Well, Doctor Doom has diplomatic immunity in most countries, I wonder if K.Rool does as well

 

[Dark Phazon]

How great do you think K.Rool's Recovery would be?
Among the heavies?

Good on the side of great, but punishable.
Kinda like and to a lesser extent

Basically like .

Here's some old images I made

Hopefully soon we can settle it in Smash with K. Rool!

 

[StormC]

I love these. What font is it?

 

[King_K_Rules]

It's called Kongtext. It's the actual font from the actual games! I found it googling a while ago.

I like to do that as well. I usually get responses like, "I WILL" or "ALREADYDID".

Why is K. Rool so k. ruel? Amazing, I always love seeing how evil he is in that scene. I need something like that in DKCR3, lol.

In DK64 he even threatened his own underlings.

 

[StormC]

It'd be amazing if there was a specific victory animation for K. Rool beating DK that replicated that scene.

Interesting poll, let's fix that by voting K. Rool up!

[Warlock*G]

Oh contraire, K. Rool has teamed up with the Kongs on occasion. [...]

It's written "au contraire".
Hey, I just corrected you/
And this is crazy/
But here's my post/
So hate me maybe?

These polls are always being botted. I refreshed the page and Banjo's percentage skyrocketed. Take the "results" with a grain of salt.

This one is less good because I just took it from a YouTube video, but hey, Donkey Kong!

I gotta come in and make a statement regarding K. Rool's height. I think he should be bigger than Bowser and taller as well. Only because of the contrast with him and DK at times. I get Bowser's a big, bad brute but so is K. Rool. Though K. Rool IS agile. It's more his height than his weight. That mock up, while nice rubs me the wrong way.

I can't imagine him not standing tall like the King he is. I think he should be slightly taller than Ganondorf.

 

[StormC]

If he gets more than slightly taller his head will clip through Battlefield platforms. Refer to my previous mockup on that.

 

[BKupa666]

He needs to face partly toward the screen like Bowser so more of his belly and mass can fit onto the stage without making him tall enough to clip through Battlefield's platforms (which for some reason seem to be a barometer that's used). Having K. Rool just face forward forces his legs and body to be shrunk to the point where he looks just like a normal Kremling enemy vs. their leader.

I think that yes he should be bigger, but only slightly, very slightly and DK should be shrunk down a bit.

Well, I would consider it a barometer for three reasons.

1. Battlefield is the "default" stage of the game, and not only that, but platforms in the game rarely if ever go lower than the height the lowest platforms do (compare it to Wario Ware, Smashville, etc.). And because of that, there should be minimal...
2. Clipping. Minor things like Bowser's hair and K. Rool's crown clipping are fine, but the actual body of the character clipping is not only visually tacky (especially if it's things like their eyes), but brings problems with...
3. Hitboxes. If a character's head is clipping through the platform, someone standing on it would be able to hurt them pretty easily with down tilts, d-airs, etc., when they otherwise wouldn't be able to.

Personally, as someone who mains Bowser and Ganondorf, characters getting much bigger than them would make me anxious. I'd rather not see a size creep in Smash Bros., as these type of characters already have problems with being comboed and ganged up on. Even bigger characters would either amplify these problems, or be given tools that run the risk of making the characters overpowered. Then you factor in things like 3+ person multiplayer and Smash's complex stage design, and I feel it could be a serious problem.

Rant aside, your point about K. Rool facing the camera is well heeded. Maybe something more like this...?

Speaking of Kremlings, I wonder if their massive size in Smash Run might make the team doubt K. Rool's inclusion:

I thought something similar with the Kritter sizes but then i checked the sizes of baddies compared to some other characters. Koopas, Hammer Bros, and Goombas are quite large in Smash run, I mean a Hammer bro is a bit shorter than Bowser. That seems a bit too big for them. Looking further I compared the sizes of Kritters in Sluggers to K. Rool he's actually not that much bigger than they are he's just beefier. His girth is what makes him seem so much larger. I mean sure in the old games there was a LARGE size difference but then again Bowser in most games since Sunshine as always been far far far larger than Mario. Size shouldn't be an issue, it would especially bogus to use downsizing as an excuse for a second character to not be included......
