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

[Swamp Sensei]

We still should do that Rap Battle against Ridley once if they want to harass us again, so you still have a chance!

Admit it.

You're trying to start a war for kicks aren't you?

 

[FalKoopa]

Oh look, Diddy is now starting an anti-Ridley propaganda. How cute.

Just... Get out of the thread.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

He's been like this about the ever so "savage" and "delusional" Ridley fanbase for awhile now... It's nothing new really.

If he has proof that me or some Ridley fan seriously harassed the Kutthroats during this year, last year, or sometime recent, I'll concede to that, but pretty sure that hasn't happened. Sure, we've kinda messed with each other at times when comparing the two reptilian leaders, but it's usually all in jest, as we all (or at least most of us) support both characters anyway.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Maybe Diddy Kong should meet up with Dedekong from GameFAQs, I bet that they'd like each other right off the bat.

 

[Angelglory]

Thought us K. Rool & Ridley supports might enjoy this

Spoiler

 

[Diddy Kong]

Whoa, one comment and I'm already demonised

And even told to get out of the thread, when it's not even the Ridley thread.

Also, I've indeed concluded, K.Rool might be too big.

Spoiler

To be the 4th playable character in Tropical Freeze

He's fine for Smash, really.

 

[FalKoopa]

Not the best example, but you get the point.

Of course, I'm not expecting it though.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

The way I view it is that if the character has more to it than size, then it can always be resized. Kraid obviously can't be resized, because his only appeal comes from being enormous. Bowser obviously has all kinds of sizes, because he has a lot of appeal in his personality, it doesn't matter what size he is, as long as he acts like Bowser. K. Rool is obviously the same, even if he was gigantic in 64 that's not what's so compelling about his character.

 

[Welshy91]

Ehh... when and how did we harass the K. Rool fans? K. Rool and Ridley supporters are basically like best friends, the majority of us Ridley supporters are K. Rool supporters too, and vice versa, if we harassed K. Rool we'd be harassing ourselves. Your little anti-Ridley crusade doesn't really roll in this thread.

I've noticed that the two fanbases are comprised of mostly the same people, or at least the types of people. Woe betide the Smash community should the two conflict.

 

[Hoots]

Nope. You see people claiming his Neutral Special was inspired by that uppercut, even though it was actually inspired by the visually identical Banana Slamma from the Donkey Kong Country cartoon.

That animation gave me cancer.

 

[Diddy Kong]

It has happened before, you know. And yes, there are fans that support both. But not all of us.

Check this for example, made by Mr. BKupa:

We actually had a rap battle going on for a while, but we all pussied out to record the real thing.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Ok is there any new on donkey kong tropical freeze is king k rool mentioned yet if not anything new

 

[Diddy Kong]

He will most likely not be in.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Dude, the video's a joke, BKupa is a Ridley supporter too. Talk about not catching the joke. Point is, nobody in the Ridley thread or this thread really cares about your anti-Ridley stuff, take that to GameFAQs.

 

[BluePikmin11]

You guys are really begging even the littlest reference. I think it was said before K. Rool wouldn't be playable in TF.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Whoa, one comment and I'm already demonised

And rightfully so, for once. And you weren't being "demonized" off of simply one comment, but what you've kinda been doing for awhile.

It has happened before, you know.

Like how Ridley fans legitly harassing the Kutthroats has happened, which you have yet to even prove?

And yes, there are fans that support both. But not all of us.

Mostly you as far as the latter, or at least you're like the loudest one as far as the latter group, but yeah.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Nah, they simply said there'd be no Kremlings in this game, which means no K. Rool. It's understandable that they're begging for even the slightest reference, it should be considered a crime to take out K. Rool.

The Lion King music sealed it. Srsly tho, Ridley fans and K.Rool fans seem to be in the same boat so we may as well play nice.

 

[BKupa666]

Dude, the epidemic of calling us hard-working Sakurai-fearing gamers toobigots is no joke! We don't hate playable Ridley fans, we just disagree with the playable Ridley lifestyle! Think of the children!

I'm basically the inverse of Wariofan at the moment in terms of which out of K. Rool and Ridley would single-handedly make the game for me and which I only really, really want.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Playable Ridley is a SIN in the eyes of Sakurai.

*pic of Sakurai giving free [laughs]*

[BridgesWithTurtles]

I'll take a third option from Wariofan and Kupa; I want both characters to the point that either of their exclusions would make me incredibly disappointed. To be fair, I'll still buy the game if one of them is excluded, but I'd actually have serious reconsideration if both of them are denied. In terms of gameplay, Melee and Project M fully satisfy me, so I'm covered on that front. My interest in the upcoming game is almost purely based on fanservice.

That's why I tried to make that rap battle so even between the two. They both deserve to be included. I'm just glad that the majority of their supporters agree with that sentiment. It's rare to see two similar characters with mutualistic support groups. Look at Lucario/Mewtwo, or pretty much any Fire Emblem character to see what I mean.

It's the Bowser Jr. fans that are our real enemies. How dare they choose such an underwhelming, pint-sized, reptilian villain as their newcomer of choice? Nepotism at its finest. First Bowser gets away with being resized, and now his son gets in when we have two perfectly fine, BBWs (Big Beautiful Wretches) sitting on the sideline for the fourth game in a row? Nu-uh, not gonna fly. Ridley and K. Rool can't help being that big. It's not their fault that society bombards them with images that make them feel inadequate. "Too big" is just a word used to shame these villains for not being part of the Mario universe; it's Nintendo's way of playing favorites.

I actually have no problem with Bowser Jr.

I have come to accept the possibility that all 3 of those characters might not make it in the game. The thought of just one of them not making it is heart-wrenching (Bowser Jr. to a lesser extent). Then I think to myself "If not these, then who?".... then I remember R.O.B. and the Wii Fit Trainer.

 

[Groose]

In an alternate universe...

Sakurai's plan of adding a Dixie/Diddy tag-team to Brawl worked like a charm...

and K. Rool is widely considered a "shoo-in"...

I'm just not going to get my hopes up. I don't want to get hurt again.

 

[Chandeelure]

I support all the characters with potential,including K.rool and Ridley,but,please stop fighting...

It's the Internet; fights are bound to happen wherever you go.

On the topic on K. Rool however, I dunno why people say he's too big. Yeah, he was big in Donkey Kong 64, but he was the same size as Bowser and Donkey Kong in Mario Super Sluggers.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Same here pretty much, on everything said there. Well, I'd still get SSB4 because Mewtwo, but... How you are with K. Rool and Ridley now is basically how I was with Ridley and Mewtwo during pre-Brawl, and since neither of them got in (Ridley became Dyna Blade while Mewtwo was cut), I ended up waiting a little while to get Brawl as opposed to buying it day 1. At least it made waiting for Brawl more bearable I guess, but if something like that happens with SSB4 I think I'll still get it ASAP unless Mewtwo (against all odds) were to somehow not be in the game as well along with the two reptiles. Then I'd wait awhile and get the game at my own leisure, to still play a new Smash with friends and all.

But yeah, those who say they won't get the next Smash because ___ didn't get in are usually lying to themselves. I never did that, to my memory.

As for Bowser Jr., it would indeed be a travesty if he got in over both Ridley and K. Rool, but if I end up liking his playstyle or something, I won't keep blaming him for the other two reptiles' absence.

Don't think I can get much fairer than that, if worse comes to worse.

This post is too level-headed for the internets.

Hit the nail right on the head here, in terms of what my plan is. I need some serious convincing if I'm going to lay down money for this game, a Wii U and a television, and nothing short of my personal cream of the crop will fly in that case. One of K. Rool and Ridley would be needed for me to buy the game at all, and K. Rool himself would be needed for me to enthusiastically buy it on day one (though both would be ideal). I really could not care less about the "it's still a good game," "it has good gameplay," or "you'll have fun" reasons others will use to buy it, regardless of who's in.

Smash is a good, fun game to me because it's virtually an endless sandbox I can fight through with the characters I've enjoyed since childhood, and, other than K. Rool, they're all already in at this point (Bowser and DK got me to purchase Melee, my first Smash, and Diddy and Dedede got me to purchase Brawl). If there's a handful of rad new cookie-cutter protagonists with flashy playstyles, but that I have no attachment to whatsoever? Great. I'll test them out at my cousin's house, or at Best Buy, because that's about how long I'd end up playing as them if I owned the game anyway. That doesn't make me any less of a Smash fan.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Definitely agree with where you're coming from BKupa, even if that's not necessarily how I roll with Smash. Still played Brawl for quite awhile despite the roster being the most disappointing thing to me in years until most of my friends stopped playing it. But yeah, if you've played just Melee or Brawl alone, you'll have pretty much played them all unless certain childhood favorites get added as characters or something for the next game. Having better graphics or gameplay in some areas, better online and balancing, and stuff like that is good and all, but not enough reason for some to get a new game unless there's someone or something in it that really reaches out screams for them to get it. Doesn't make them any less a Smash fan if they don't get said installment because it lacked that certain quality for them, as you well put it.

In short, SSB4 might be the Smash we need, but not the one some of us want right now... /shameless rewording of Dark Knight ending line

 

[Welshy91]

My overt fanboyism won't allow anything less than a day 1 purchase. =/

 

[Diddy Kong]

Unless they remove Diddy, I'll get the game no matter what happens. No Mewtwo would make me question Sakurai though. I mean, that is really the only character they can't afford to put in. He can just 'laugh off' K.Rool and Ridley like he did with Wario, Diddy and King Dedede after Melee as not ALL ultra-popular characters are guaranteed to make it.

 

[Welshy91]

They would have to do something really, really, REALLY stupid to dissuade me from buying it.

 

[BluePikmin11]

How would you react to this: K. Rool replaces Diddy.

*Grabs a chair* dis gon b gud. Personally, I would make that sacrifice.

 

[FalKoopa]

How would you react to this: K. Rool replaces Diddy.

I would dislike it, tbh. But seeing that it would really piss off Diddy Kong (the user), I'd enjoy it for a while.

 

[LaniusShrike]

How would you react to this: K. Rool replaces Diddy.

And K.Rool even takes all of Diddy's moves! Popgun => Blunderbuss, Barrel jetpack => K.Roolenstein jets.

... I'd love to see K.Rool jumping on someone's face for his side special.

 

[BKupa666]

How would you react to this: K. Rool replaces Diddy.

I'd feel terribly bittersweet, because my most wanted character for one game would be replacing my most wanted character for the previous game.

 

[Welshy91]

I have a better one. Would you replace Mario for your two most wanted characters?
