Update supposedly goes live in about three hours.
Before things hit the fan, I'll just remind people that, when the update hits, it's the best, most pragmatic choice to buy the K. Rool costume. I can't convince anyone that it's not a big kick in the teeth based on our current knowledge.
That being said, not only is it cheap to to the point where you could pay for it based on an average day's worth of sidewalk change, it's as good as a long-term investment for the character. Every purchase is one step further to convincing Nintendo that this is a character to use again and again in the future. Of course, so are votes on the Smash site, but imagine if few people buy this costume and Nintendo writes off all the other K. Rool votes as ballot-stuffing or something, despite being open to him if it sells well (maybe like the Inkling suit). That'd blow even worse than this seems to.
You don't have to even use the damn thing, I know I certainly won't (screw the Miis), but this is a quick and easy way to let our 0.75 cents do the talking in support of the King.
