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

Kirby was probably shown off in Brawl to go with Meta Knight and the joke that Kirby is shocked when his design doesn't change.

Yes. The recent DLC characters brought the 3DS' character select screen up to a screen-filling state.

Just snapped this from my own 3DS;

DK is indeed ahead of Kirby in sales. Sakurai would like us to think otherwise seeing as how Kirby is always shown off with Mario, Link, and Pikachu and every Smash trailer we get....I always (to this day) have wondered why its Kirby there and not DK...0.- Like I get it..its your game Sakurai....but...I would say, personally, that DK is more recognizable to the world anyway.

I'd say level of video game character recognition goes either Mario or Pac-Man first, then Sonic or Donkey Kong third.

Whoops, my bad. Forgot that I never downloaded Roy or Lucas.

I still stand behind 2 more characters though, both of whom are ballot choices.

It is. If you bought all four characters and have Mii Fighters the 3DS roster is full. Its going to create a second page like the stage roster does.

But I will say this, why are people voting for Reckless Wiimote Safety Man?

To be funny. (Which they aren't.)

Tell me about it. It was funny at first but if people seriously vote for this guy to the point where he's even considered that will so stupid.
He most likely won't be but it's concerning.

oinkers12 · Jul 7, 2015

With Wii Remote Man, I wouldn't care if he was in the game... after King K. Rool. I'd be happy with any character after that point because that's more characters to play with and K. Rool is the only one that I'm truly passionate about. However, if the next Direct shows Wii Remote Man being displayed instead of King K. Rool, I'd be pretty upset that a JOKE got in before one of the (if not THE) most voted character.

Will someone post the One of Us song from DK and the Legend of the Crystal Coconut?

As far as I'm concerned, it's just like voting for Goku or Shrek to where the votes shouldn't even count.

"Reckless Wiimote Safety Man" isn't even a real character!

As jokes go, he's merely something accurate to the letter of the ballot, not at all to the spirit or tone.

At least Goku, with all of the obvious issues he has, is actually a character people like.
They think it's funny but if Reckless Wiimote Safety Guy actually got in most of the people who voted for him would be pissed.

I mean, I always enjoy creativity, like what happened with R.O.B., but Reckless Wiimote Safety Man doesn't even look like it has personality. At least R.O.B. was a robot. Sure I guess it can be funny to have joke images to promote Wiimote Safety like they do with Shrek, Reggie, Etika, etc. But it kind of sucks that 300 potential votes, in a poll that is supposed to help people get an accurate depiction of what is getting suggested on the ballots, were wasted at a sub-par humor attempt. I'm probably just being a grump. I won't stop them or anything, but it still bugged me.

StormC · Jul 7, 2015

I don't think anybody is actually submitting votes for RWSM on the ballot, just voting for him in exit polls as a (bad) joke.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if there actually were people voting for him in the ballot itself, I must admit.

Best K. Rool song coming through:

Awesome - thanks very much!

You know, seeing this stuff again makes me realise how much K. Rool's PAON design draws from the TV series...

Deleted member · Jul 7, 2015

It's probably been brought up before, but where did Sakurai say that he likes to talk with the characters' creators when working them as fighters?

That detail has me interested.

I found this article, where this quote stands out in relation to designs...

All of the detailed upgrades for characters were done with the supervision and approval of the original character creators, though not everything went smoothly.

I remember seeing a separate source during a discussion where some guy was defending Wario's lack of Land inspiration by saying "both Wario's creator and the Ware developer approved of his Smash appearance." Can't seem to find it via Google, though.

Like I said, how does one explain Diddy if Sakurai is so concerned with talking to a character's original creator?

Hate to derail the discussion with the done to death topic of a certain draconic being of the violet variety, but in my mind, this tells me that Sakamoto and Makoto Kano (not Yokoi for obvious reasons) potentially played a role in exclusion....

It seems to be more of a courtesy than a prerequisite, hence Diddy.

Yeah, rereading that quote gave me similar suspicions, though to be fair, it would seem from that one article as though they were simply reaffirming Sakurai's conviction, rather than forcing it upon him.

I doubt it. What character designer would, in their right mind, say no to their character being featured in Smash?

Not saying "no" to the character.
Saying "no" to the changes to the character Sakurai would propose.

Sakurai's words were translated to "it would take a lot of convoluted hocus-pocus to make Ridley a fighter." Never sounds like he ever seriously tried it, or wanted to.

Deleted member · Jul 7, 2015

I am not going to get wrapped up in another bloody Ridley argument where the opposition is dead-set on Sakurai being a Ridley hater based on focusing on the bare minimum of what he said, let alone do so on the K. Rool thread.

All I wanted to do was attempt to convey a hypothesis in response to what BKupa has told me. I should have known that even daring to bring in Ridley in any context would open the damn floodgates. Maybe I was just willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Whatever.

Forget I even said anything and let's move on to another subject in relation to K. Rool.

I'm pretty much indifferent to Ridley at this point, my man.

I just like to have all the facts on the table. But I agree that the K. Rool thread talks about Ridley too much.

Deleted member · Jul 7, 2015

Ok.

So....back to the theory that the reason K. Rool doesn't have the gold armor on his belly now is because he's outgrown it. :troll:

I still maintain that precedent exists in at least one other character that backs this up!

Does anyone have any others to add? :laugh:
