Source on the Banjo-Kazooie part? I'd would just like to know.
Well, I don't like the over-expressiveness. Not every villain needs angry eyes and a smirk.U Mad?
I have to be the only one who prefers PAON K. Rool (well the face at least) I love the different facial expressions he can make.
Color the belly gold, make the crown slightly bigger and add a tail and I'm set.
Say what you want about PAON's K. Rool
But you have to admit he's one expressive mutha *Shut yo' mouth*!!
I really want a DKR WiiU but we all know it will be on the 3DS if there will be one... (-_-)
Wait..is this new?
It's very, very old, circa Melee.
So is that why Ridley wasent added? Because then Metroid would have more reps than Mario, Pokemon & FE combined?I never understood why Donkey Kong did not have another character, namely Diddy Kong, in Melee as well. Honestly, I never thought that King K. Rool would make it on the main roster for Smash 4, but once DLC was announced, especially in regard to the poll, I had no doubts that the King K.Rool (I just started playing Donkey Kong 64 and never realized that his name could be pronounced as "cruel") would be playable.
I digress, I discerned the true reason for this discrepancy. King K. Rool is worth five or six characters because of how badass he is. So naturally, Sakurai did not want to include him because Donkey Kong, as a series, would be over-represented.
wolf.
Wolf I didn't even count because I know he's in. However Isaac being as popular as the King is hard to believe. i know a lot of people like him, but is it really that many?
The feasible veterans definitely top him and a few fad third parties probably do as well, but out of the serious newcomer candidates, I can't really think of anyone. It's why you see so many responses that don't bother trying to argue for any character above K. Rool, but instead to attack the idea that fan support matters for a ballot...either that it's an egalitarian mess of a suggestion box or that droves of casual fans will cause an upset, which @Skyblade12 rebutted perfectly a few pages back.
Even though Shovel Knight is a indie and multi plat its something that not only can i see Sakurai doing but i can easily vision being in the game if not him then definetly Shantae i am damn sure atleast of them will make it.
Isaac is definitely very popular, but he's not as popular as K. Rool. Based on online results, Isaac is a Top 5 contender if you INCLUDE third-party characters, otherwise he's generally right behind K. Rool. On some polls he even ranks higher than K. Rool. As a whole, though, his average is a lot less than K. Rool, but he's still second.
I'm 85% sure NEITHER of them will make it in. The odds are extremely stacked against third-parties, especially lowball Indie ones. We'd be lucky to get any more third-parties, let alone Shantae or Shovel Knight. I still think if we get any third-parties it'd be Bomberman.
Considering the fact that Shovel Knight has everything against him at this point (besides that Megaton announcement on Nintendo consoles, probably just a Link boss battle), he probably won't get in. Shantae, is debatable but being 99% sure on her getting in is a stretch considering how all of the Third Parties in Smash have had an amazing legacy and made a mark on Gaming and Nintendo (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING), Shantae's credentials seem kind of measly. Same with Rayman but to a lesser degree. I'm thinking Inkling will be Smash 5 newcomers (who else will generate hype at Smash 5 E3 reveal).
Shantae is 3rd party?
You serious? Really dude. I'm quite ashamed.
Understood, thank you for clearing that up. I knew it was a bit of a well, desert, when it came to serious contenders for the king.
Nope third party, made by Way Forward.
WelP
She had one game on the GBC that didn't sell well because it was late in the system's life (at least I think it didn't sell well because I'm pretty sure its pretty rare). I doubt Inklings will get in this time, since you know, they are still very new. Also Smash 5 hype would be a thing that they create.
She's only got a few games in total. For the Game Boy Colour, there was only the one. Then there was a DSiWare sequel, followed by a 3DS installment. There's a fourth game on the way, too.
I think there's a difference between characters chosen for the main game and DLC. Might just be me though.
Not really...plus didnt sakurai say GameFreak are abit of a headache to work with.
Yeah I guess. Also why are you so pessimistic about K Rool's chances. He still has a good ****ing chance.
On your own channel.
No way
please do not stop to makeing video.
Well okay
I have to say it would be unwise for Sakurai to make King K Rool be just a costume. The backlash would be immense, and who would fill his place? Isaac? I'm sorry but no, this thing has gotten too big for that.
I don't think the backlash matters that much. Look at the whole Ridley situation. There's no denying it was handled rather poorly, yet at the end of the day, it didn't really change anything.
This isn't that though. An effort was made to make a character playable by making him a costume. This is a direct assault, not something that can be waved off with "too big arguments" or the like. Also He went out of his way to remake the model and give it the classic textures, all the work for a costume is rather, suspect. If it doesn't lead to anything, it shows that he really doesn't care about DK, because he went out of his way to make something that he knew no one wanted.
It's a highly popular character getting shoved into an undesirable role. It's not terribly different, and placing him alongside Chrom, who's already ****ed does not augur well. I don't buy the idea that it being his Rare design means anything. For as much as we know, it could be because they wanted to go the extra mile for the fans with the costume, failing to realize that the majority would never accept it to begin with. Remember, it's all "fanservice" now. That could be an example of that.
