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

[Wolley2xjd]

The comparison to Link, Mega Man, and Meta Knight doesn't work.

Link and Mega Man were in the base game before the Mii Fighter DLC was added.
Meta Knight was a veteran.

Still changes nothing.

 

[FalKoopa]

Does this 100% confirm that K. Rool cannot become a playable character, or is it just speculation ?

We don't have a precedent for a new character first revealed via costume becoming playable. That's why so many people are crying.

 

[Thirdkoopa]

Pretty much.

aerodrome i never thought i'd say this (not that i know you well either way) but ilu right now

seriously, K. Rool may very well be a top 10 or 5 candidate (especially if he made it this far, at least), but there's no way he's #1 just because *some* sites said so out of, for a start, a poll that's available to everyone worldwide

People who think that have rose colored tinted glasses. At least a good 500-600k votes have made it on (that's just me making a guesstimate), unless someone tells me one of those polls has 100k, people need to stop or at least learn statistics. Even 10k. Direct me to a poll with 10k legitimate votes, and then we have maybe something to talk about*

* = And that still doesn't include statistically analyzing it to see if it's statistically significant data

i bet people will ignore this too

 

[InASnowBoundLand]

Extremely confused when I saw that mii fighter picture. I still don't know what to think.

 

[BlitznBurst]

Honestly, disregarding how salty I am right now, this is actually a legitimately cool costume. The stomach and the scales actually look pretty cool.

Now please give me those things on an actual fighter, Sakurai

 

[Chandeelure]

This is an obvious reference to the K.Rool fights, Sakurai "disconfirms" him with a costume and K.Rool "dies", but then... THE END?... K.Rool is playable and he never really died.

 

[Mariomaniac45213]

I'm not trying to be a debbie downer. But I say we move focus to DKCR3 and getting K.Rool back maybe the detractors were right and K.Rool doesn't belong in Smash. :'(

 

[G-Guy]

Guys, Don't loose hope.

We have to keep it up! All the posts, the votes, the recent media attention through fake leaks and copyright claims were not in vein!

Keep on voting, the ballot ain't over. The hype ain't over!

And can somebody please tell me how I change my name to K-Kuy, please?

 

[StormC]

maybe the detractors were right and K.Rool doesn't belong in Smash. :'(

NO.

I refuse to accept that. Sakurai's choices are not the end all be all. We've made our case for K. Rool again and again. I will not give in to the idiotic detractors just because things are looking in their favor right now.

 

[Darktheumbreon]

I swear, if they add our King in the game AS A FRIGGIN' MII COSTUME instead of a separate character, I'm going to be really furious.

You predicted it. ;3

 

[GaroMaster]

Jesus Christ, Sakurai.
What is it about Donkey Kong that makes you hate the franchise? And why are you taking the hate out on the fans by making K. Rool a Mii Costume, but not a playable character?
Just tell us what you have against the franchise and maybe, just maybe, we will understand you. That's all we want to know, Sakurai.

 

[Muster]

i bet people will ignore this too

It is possible that he got a large enough amount of votes to be seen and noticed, but not enough that they thought it warranted a character.

edit: or it's just to advertise dk on virtual console

I hope nintendo releases the results of the ballot so we can see what the more general population preferred

 

[FalKoopa]

This is only complicating the situation.

K. Rool's penchant for Komebacks + Sakurai's penchant for trolling + K. Rool Mii Costume = Mind Screw

 

[Nintendotard]

Just have wishful thinking guys. Come on, as supporters you should fight this until its been said by the Dream Killer Daddy Sakurai himself

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

You predicted it. ;3

Not quite. I posted that after the Mii Costume was announced.

 

[StormC]

If you're gonna come here and post all know-it-all that K. Rool wasn't popular enough or whatever, just leave.

We don't want you here. You won't be missed.

 

[MagnesD3]

Wow what a middle finger.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

This...this is just to tide us over until the ballot ends and the actual character drops, right? Right?

 

[MOI-ARI]

People. I never set foot in here, but K Rool is the only character from the 'popular list' that I legit want and would add the most to the game...


I am sorry for the days ahead...

Damn you mii costumes~

 

[StormC]

If you're gonna come here and post all know-it-all that K. Rool wasn't popular enough or whatever, just leave.

ALL OF YOU READING THIS THREAD!

 

[Cutie Gwen]

This was a ****ty marketing tactic. Fans are now extremely pissed. Even if K.Rool becomes playable, people will still feel bitter about the costume. Sakurai really does hate everything I liked then

 

[helloiamhere]

 

[G-Guy]

We cannot deem the King disconfirmed unless they reveal a Ridley Costume!...


...


...


... they announce more costumes tomorrow, right? O_o

 

[Yoshi-Thomas]

This was a ****ty marketing tactic. Fans are now extremely pissed. Even if K.Rool becomes playable, people will still feel bitter about the costume.

Is there anything that won't make people feel bitter ?

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Even better, the Mii is just K. Rool wearing a Mii Costume wearing a K. Rool costume.

 

[Devil G.]

Just have wishful thinking guys. Come on, as supporters you should fight this until its been said by the Dream Killer Daddy Sakurai himself

Exactly, this is Sakurai we're talking about. After all his teases, this doesn't destroy my hopes at all.

What we have to do now is to continue spreading the K word and don't give up until the end.

 

[Nintendotard]

Someone on Facebook said this was Sakurai's revenge for Roy and Ryu's leak lol

 

[Mikegamer0608]

The Smash Reddit is NOT happy right now.

[SuperiorYoshi87]

Please I ask everyone to seriously sit back breath and calm down. We have till October, sure his Mii costume makes things seem grim but Link, Megaman, Samus, Meta Knight all have costumes in Sm4sh and they're playable. Just because Chroms outfit got a Mii Costume alongside Rool dosnt mean Rool is decomfirmed until he's either

A) decomfirmed by an announcement tomorrow

B) there's a direct and Sakurai agknowledges him directly and decomfirms him

I'm going to go on believing he has a chance. There's many more weeks of Ballot left I'm not jumping to conclusions just yet. I ask for all my fellow Kutthroats to do the same. Yes I'm mad but don't let anger cloud your mind. Keep voting show the Mii costume isn't good enough.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Thing is, DLC has to sell itself and by pissing off fans like this people aren't going to be happy. He better have a damn good explanation for this

Is there anything that won't make people feel bitter ?

If K.Rool becomes playable alongside Ridley and Isaac, all for free, people won't be as bitter I reckon

 

[InASnowBoundLand]

The surveys of dedicated fansites are not perfect and they probably overestimate K. Rool's popularity but this exact point applies to virtually every character discussed with reference to the ballot. Including: Inkling, Shantae, Isaac, BWaddle Dee, etc. Almost no character discussed in the community actually is known to the supposed casual base some here feel are making the key difference in results. The only characters that I reasonably think could be underestimated in polls are Mario characters like Daisy and Toad or third party icons like Master Chief.

If K. Rool is apparently "not really" popular according to some people here, I wonder who they think is REALLY topping the charts. The polls are our best evidence since they they capture MOST of the votes in the ballot (that is, communities like these would also have people that would probably vote multiple times/convince their friends, unlike less interested casual voters). If K. Rool is NOT in as DLC (and it is still unclear if this is the cacse), it seems unreasonable to think that it was because he was not popular enough. Because again, the question is raised: Who IS? Is there ANY candidate discussed that would also be largely ignored by this supposed casual base? Let's not rewrite history or the evidence to suit our internal monologue.

 

[toadster101]

Is it bad that I want to run to the drugstore and buy sleeping pills

Because this is going to keep me up all night. THIS IS SOMETHING I USED TO JOKE ABOUT.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

My plan:

Keep hope until July 31th.
If there's no sign of actual K. Rool by then, I'm gonna call him deconfirmed and move on.

I've learned from Ridley that you can't stick to hope for too long.

 

[MagnesD3]

Im almost sure the dlc character will be someone who is super marketable, I feel bad for you guys another amazing character gets pushed aside by sakurai.

I'm probably going to get a snack at 7/11. It's gonna be a long night, Kutthroats, especially with all of SmashBoards watching us.

I've gone as stark-raving mad as K. Rool at this point.

 

[Mikegamer0608]

I just want to look at this detailed costume and just imagine REAL HARD that its the actual King himself in actual playable form. Please Sakuari

 

[SuperDavio]

Just make a green mii? We can do that. That'd be cool.

 

[Nintendotard]

I've learned from Ridley that you can't stick to hope for too long.

....ouch...

Like I know that the Ridley fanbase has to deal with the worst detractors of them all and went through so many hardships in Smash 4 but....OUCH D':

That kinda hit hard

I was just about to go to sleep. Then I saw the news and had to say goodbye to my bed for the night.

I'm sorry, but I call bull****. If K. Rool WASN'T so popular, he wouldn't even be a costume at all.
