[The Original Robot boy]

SOON.

And waatch cranky kong take his spot

 

[SmashShadow]

It's all going according to plan...

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

Awesome! That's so impressive.

 

[SmashJC]

Afternoon? Here, where i live, is very dark to be a afternoon

 

[SmashJC]

Pls Next: Crash Bandicoot!

 

[Digital Hazard]

I've never understood the hype or desire for King K. Rool, and this is coming from someone whose first videogame ever was DKC back in 1995.

This guy knows^^

 

[LunarDistortion]

This is probably my favorite render next to Rayman! They both look really official.

 

[Riskman]

i glanced at the news and saw "K. Rool confirmed".

how could you

 

[Nuclearkitty]

This fooled me DX I saw it on Twitter, damn Omni fooled me again!

 

[GaroMaster]

My most two most wanted characters...
...getting Smashified by ArtsyOmni.
Thank you so much.
Rayman and K. Rool for Smash!

 

[BubbaDuke]

Reading that title was a god damn roller coaster lol

 

[LaSchO]

this is great ;D

 

[Marrow]

I wish he didn't have that big gross eye bulge.

 

[TMJ_Jack]

I imagine K. Rool as heavy, but surprisingly swift character as in heavy as Dedede and about the speed of Pit. In return, he would have bad recovery, range, and lag. I'm not a fan of the character, but I think that would match his personality fairly well.

Earlier this afternoon, Artsy Omni and Chris Szczesiul released the latest Smashified! video, this time featuring Donkey Kong baddie King K. Rool! K. Rool has long been a highly-requested character for the Smash Bros. series, and while he hasn't made it into the series just yet this is the next best thing. For Smashers interested in seeing K. Rool as a Smash 4 render, or even learning more about digital art through the artists' commentary, this video should satisfy!

How do you like this render? Who do you want to see Smashified next? Make your voice heard in the comments below!

The Derrit thinks this is the best of the bunch so far. Chat with him on Twitter at @TheDerrit.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

Woah there, actually gave me a heart attack when I first saw the article.

 

[Scinn]

My personal opinion on this.

Considering his most notable physical attribute is his boxing skills, I'd say he'd have decent range. He's got his blunderbuss, his throwing crown, lightning, barrels, etc. Not to mention his smashing/jumping abilities. His recovery could be his propeller pack, I guess.

 

[Casval]

Don't get me wrong, he's an iconic villain for DKC and there could definitely be some interesting ways to implement him in the game

i just don't understand where he got the legions of fans requesting him to be in the game. It's unprecedented.

 

[SphericalCrusher]

So awesome. He's who I voted for without a second thought.

He was a well-loved character from a well-loved game series. Unlike other Nintendo villains of the time, he exhibited lots of personality, and he was probably one of the best characters in the admittedly controversial cartoon, which many people on Smashboards and abroad undoubtedly grew up watching.

It's also worth noting that he's been absent from his own series in recent years, which has only made longtime fans more and more rabid for his return.

That, and he's one of the last big name Nintendo characters still not playable that could've been playable games ago. Just a few reasons.

 

[Road Death Wheel]

I wish he didn't have that big gross eye bulge.

Thats like the best part about him!

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that his fans are so antsy to see him return. Yeah, it's a sizable fanbase, but it seems larger than it is because of how vocal we are. K. Rool's fanbase is probably only about as big as any popular Nintendo character. You just see him talked about a lot more than others because he's one of the few left who hasn't already become playable.

I've never understood the hype or desire for King K. Rool, and this is coming from someone whose first videogame ever was DKC back in 1995.

The desire comes from internet memes.

If we did receive a Kremling rep, I would prefer Krusha and his orange grenade launcher.

 

[SchAlternate]

My personal opinion on this.

To the fact that it isn't official or just because it involves K. Rool?

 

[darktrickster101]

Such troll. looks good but the title excitement was real.

 

[Banjodorf]

The desire comes from internet memes.

Definitely not the reason. In fact, aside from us pulling up "One of Us" as an in-joke way to greet new fans in the K. Rool thread, I've never, ever seen this reasoning.

Definitely not why most want him, anyway.

 

[LasermasterA]

Woah! That looks absolutely amazing @HextupleyooDOT ! My favourite so far out all of the Smashified renders!

I might not be a huge K. Rool fan but this has definitely got me hyped, especially for all those DK fans out there! K. Rool has never looked better and he definitely is ready to Smash.

Now just give us Isaac! He's ready to make his "move" after all.

 

[Code Bread]

I don't understand why this has made front page. Especially if this isn't the first smashified video and as far as I'm aware there's nothing particularly special about this rendition (is there?).

 

[Chris Sifniotis]

Okay, the team just took Smashified reveals to the next level! Next they ought to start rendering unique backgrounds and even a few new art styles like you find in some trailers.

Kudos to them. Also, I'm looking for that font!

 

[EnigmaticKnight]

 

[DrPac]

Translation plz

 

[CaptainKirby]

Ahh crap, I thought this was real. My heart stopped for a moment there.

Still, awesome job on the render. Makes me want K. Rool even more so now.

 

[_Wombo_]

I really hope that somehow he get's in the game it would be amazing!

 

[AwesomeCauliflower68]

"King K.Rool goes bananas"? Couldn't they have come up with a better tag line than that?

Kign K Rool sets sail would have been cool

 

[Deleted member]

I am very pleased with this design. This is the best possible Paon design he could get and I really like how he looks intimidating. One of my favorite Smashified pictures and I hope to see more from Chris.

 

[Altais]

Ha ha, I fell for this, too.
