I haven't posted here in a while but I have a good feeling about K. Rool. If Sakurai truly goes by fan service, K. Rool is definitely up there. I'm not saying he HAS to be the chosen one but I'd be quite shocked if K. Rool isn't one of the "fan serviced" DLC characters.

King K. Rool confirmed to have swimsuit alt with rubber ring included.

Juicy tidbit from new SourceGaming article:

Q: Who is your main?

I don’t have any character in particular. However, this time around I do favor the heavy characters more.
Also of note: he clarifies that characters from series with little future are low priority, not characters themselves.

That's what I'd like to know. -_-
You know you'd like to see that as a new costume. ;)

I'll stick to the simple regular bathing suit thank you.

Yet not one new heavy fighter in the base game. I hope we get at least one for dlc and I don't think I have to explain who that should be.

funny you say that. I think Sakurai mains ganondorf which is probably the heaviest character

To be fair, Dark Pit is in fierce competition with Pichu for Smash's most hated character of all time, and it's not as though people take "Pichu for DLC!" demands particularly seriously.

Back to K. Rool, though, what do people think about him having an Oil Drum summon move, like he had in that MUGEN video? It functioned basically like it did in DKC, spitting weak enemies at an interval. I guess the closest comparison would be Pac-Man's Fire Hydrant that sprays water a few times before vanishing.
I never actually hates Pichu but yes it was a pretty worthless character..but i do hate Dark Pit...
Atleast Pichu is actually a thing...
Not just litreally 1 word before another characters name...and different colour...

Dry Bowser or Dark Samus would have been miles better.

I think Dark pit was litreally put in last second because he must have taken a second to implement. There for fair enough...

Waluigi and Ridley aren't there, but Wart is? I know they are in the game and that this bring there chances to nearly zero, but the question is about who you want, not who is likely/posiible that you want.
Question...
Is that issac or chrono?
I swear they look the same but Issac has golden/Yellow hair,?

Isn't Dark Samus one word before another character's name, plus a different colour, though? :laugh:

EDIT: Actually, I'm curious, since in all seriousness I know that Dark Samus is more than that, the same as Dark Pit is... Have you played Kid Icarus Uprising?

Dark Pit...is actually a thing. If you haven't played Uprising (which I would suggest), he's definitely a thing. Dry Bowser is just Bowser but dead. Literally the same Bowser. Dark Samus however is completely different and a good choice.

Right?! You'd think more alt skins in this game would be a given. I'm also shocked that Pac-Man didn't get a Ms. Pac-Man alt skin.
I also wouldn't mind a Meowser skin along with Dry Bowser.
I would've loved to have seen Masked Dedede as an option, too, and I'm surprised that Mario didn't get, say, his outfit from the Nintendo Service Centre logo, or something else like that, to go along with the outfit from NES Open Tournament Golf.

EDIT: I can explain why there was no Ms. Pac-Man alt, though. By court findings of the time, the people who created the ROM hack which was made into Ms. Pac-Man by Midway are the creators of "the concept of a Pac-Family", and Namco must pay them royalties whenever Ms. Pac-Man appears, the game is re-released, and so on (that's why the game doesn't get re-released very often, and why you see very little Ms. Pac-Man merchandising). It's similar to the licensing minefield surrounding Pac-Land, which Namco based on Hanna-Barbera's licensed Pac-Man cartoon series, including licensing the theme tune for the game's main theme - I was very surprised that they opted to use Pac-Land as a stage in Smash Wii U due to this.

Personally, I don't know why Kirby got an unmasked Metaknight color instead of, I dunno, say, METAKIGHT? Mewtwo with his armor from the Pokémon movie would be a cool skin too.

The fact that Masked Dedede wasn't an alt is disappointing enough - but he was such an obvious choice for Dedede's new Final Smash, and instead we got him... throwing a bomb.

Sakurai doesn't want Meta Knight to reveal himself. ;)

Hey I don't support K Rool as much as people like Isaac since I haven't played any of his games, but I think it's safe to say I would be OVERJOYED to see all his fans happy if/when he gets confirmed! I don't know anything about this character, but he seems like he's really likely to get the spot, and I guess since I really enjoy being on the hype train with other people...

dangit in other words I want to be part of the family ;-;

EDIT: :4greninja:'d

Feel free to read the OP if you're curious about what K. Rool would look like as a Smash fighter! As a passionate K. Rool supporter, I feel the exact same way you do about K. Rool in regards to Isaac, though I'm more familiar with him overall and think he'd also be a fantastic Smash fighter.

Overall, I'm glad that K. Rool and Isaac fans are amicable and don't see each other as competition.

I worry that we won't get any awesome King K. Rool Alt costumes since the Costume and alt skin Designer's are DOWNRIGHT terrible. Like it's not that hard, especially in these days to make alts. Especially when you have the Soul Calibur team colaberating.

Also, I wouldn't be worried about K. Rool taking the "spot." Both K. Rool and Isaac offer very different things as fighters and most signs indicate Sakurai is not going to pick just one ballot character.

It is disapointing to see that a fan game (Project M) does a much better job at costumes than the official developers. I think we'll be lucky to get Kaptain as a Kostume sadly and if were really really lucky, Baron.

I'm not one to care about costumes but considering all the different clothes attired by K. Rool wears in the series, I'd be surprised if he doesn't get at least one other costume other than his king's robes as an alt.

If K. Rool gets in, I'd give the Kaptain costume a 40% chance of appearing. Realistically, I do not see Baron and Krusha happening, as much as I would like to - but if there's any character that warranted 16 alts, it's definitely K. Rool, not :4littlemac:.

Definitely, 4 each of King, Kaptain, Baron and Krusha would be the best outcome.

Why did I have to look that up? :facepalm:
With a girth like that, at least he can be sure that he'll never drown. :troll:
