Less than 50 days to go Kremlings! Are you going to let a scurvy halloween costume cloud your mind!? Then prepare the voting cannons!

Eight!

Wait, I have to concentrate!

How about a daughter instead of a son. You know, just for a change.
It wouldn't be a bad idea. I mean, not everyone has to be male. How about Princess Katherine Rool? (Named after an old Russian monarch)

Well I always thought that the "K" in K. Rool was for Kremling.

King Kremling. Rool.
I would think that there would be another one instead of that. Plus, the Kremlings are like Underlings. The suffix "-ling" means "a younger, smaller or inferior version of what is denoted by the original noun", and K. Rool is not like that. He is the king of all Kremlings, after all.

Snake and Ike are the only heavyweights who originated as protagonists,

:231:

*AHEM*



I'd say Charizard can be considered heroic even if it's just a pet of the protagonist (Red), with 2 other options mind you. At least he's heroic in the anime (Ash's Charizard at least, even if he's kind of a jerk).

I would argue that those characters DO bring something unique and interesting to the table. They might not be revolutionary, well, actually, in the case of Pichu, I would argue that his mechanic IS probably the most unique in all of Smash. However, they do allow you to explore a familiar move-set in a different way, or at least Doctor Mario and Lucina do that. It is not as though every single statement that Sakurai utters needs to be completely objective and have no exceptions. I understand your frustration, but at the same time, I feel as though Sakurai accomplished his goal of bringing something interesting to the table with these clone characters. Therefore, they do not inherently contradict what he says. You have a right to perceive it that way though.
I do get what you are saying, I never thought of it that way.

In most cases, the protagonists tend to be average-ish in terms of attributes. This is true even outside of video games - comics, anime, folklores - presumably to help the the audience identify with the character better.

Snake and Ike are the only heavyweights who originated as protagonists, although they aren't really heavyweights in their own series. We need more protagonists like this guy....

... I never knew that was a game..

So what do you guys plan on doing first when K. Rool is released?
Buying him, of course, and then doing a 1v1 K. Rool vs Bowser, K. Rool vs D3, K. Rool vs Mario, etc.

After cheering, I plan on coming to these boards to watch reactions while K. Rool is downloading on my 3DS. I want to see Kutthroats jumping for joy. Once K. Rool is in my game, I plan to take K. Rool into training mode and do all of his attacks so I get a basic feel for how they work before doing a 2 min Smash with K. Rool vs Donkey Kong.

It will be glorious.

When K. Rool comes out, i'll get the popcorn and watch the reactions of detractors getting all worked up about ''b-but muh relevance'' and 'but muh mii costume''. And buy him, no doubt about that.

First thing I'll do when King K. Rool is released. Try to get him on eShop. Key word here is try.
If he makes it, the very fact that we'll merely be trying to download him is going to be amazing, though. It would represent so much that I don't think I would get frustrated with it at all. ;)

The only other character that's I've been this down for is Mewtwo and once King K Rool comes out I'll have something to switch off from and possibly main.

I know I'm going to be celebrating. Maybe even trying to download as well, unless I'm I have work. In which case I'll be rabbling on about K.Rool all the day at work.

Good luck with that. I'm sure that it will be crashboards here once K. Rool drops, if nowhere else you frequent.

I would use King K. Rool as an avatar if I did not have so much difficulty finding good art for him.
Funny thing is that your current avatar has a small resemblance to a character of mine what with the red(ish) long hair and dark/(almost) black outfit. Though she's closer to Lucina in the chest department (its there, its just not very noticeable in her outfit).



So, what if King K Rool comes out as DLC...
But his voice is done by Samuel L. Jackson?
He'll probably just have generic grunts. I don't know why I should even respond to such a comment because it simply won't happen. He'll either have crocodile noises (which honestly wouldn't be too bad for K. Rool) or he'll sound like his classic DKC version.

When King K. Rool is finally released I plan to have a match with me as King K. Rool vs. 7 K. Rool Mii Brawlers with a handicap of 300%.

Honestly they can make K.Rool sound like a generic crocodile and I'd be pleased. Just as long as there is a chance he makes that 'OOONK' sound from DKC1.

I know what i'm doing when K.Rool drops. 8 player team smash! K.Rool, Bowser, Ganondorf, and Dedede on my team vs. Mario, DK, Link, and Kirby on the other.

Awwww... did every Kutthroat forget my version of K. Rool's son when you guys are discussing it a page back? And I was too late when the subject changed. If you guys don't mind to bring it again, how I put a pic in a post to let anyone to see it?

As of right now, I'm almost certain K.Rool will happen. The fact that we have a kostume of him that looks like it was ripped from an actual model? If he is not in this game, I will be VERY surprised.

And judging by the whole "fan service" comment, I predict we will see the following kharacters joining the battle VERY soon.
-) King K.Rool
-) Inkling (Was feeling kinda "meh" on this one, but when you think about how large the Splatoon community is now...)
-) Wolf (Sometime after Star Fox Zero comes out. I wish that game continued from the original story...)
-) Isaac (Need I say more? Every other person I see is either asking for K.Rool or Isaac.)

And POSSIBLY...
-) Bandanna Dee (Not quite one of Sakurai's own children, but he'd be great for four-player Kirby matches. <3 He's been in a lot of Kirby games lately, and even though most of them are gimmicky and somewhat boring, it would make sense to put him in...)

And KINDA NOT POSSIBLY...
-) Banjo-Kazooie (I'm REALLY unsure of this one, but... that bear Mii kostume felt a little random alongside everyone else...)
-) Snake (There is quite some demand for him, but due to the recent Konami situation, I doubt it. Seeing him more "classic-ified" like Pac-Man, Sonic, Mega-Man, and Ryu? That'd be pretty sweet.)
-) Shantae (Not as popular as most people think. The only way I'd see her getting in is if WayForward keeps begging Sakurai like they are now... -_-)
-) Shovel Knight (Unless this new, exclusive Nintendo content for him features a Battleship Halberd level, and a fight against Meta Knight. Then Sakurai would be pleased.)
-) Rayman (Should have been DLC right after Mewtwo and before Lucas, but you never know!)
