King K. Rool Resource Thread - 68 resources and counting!

[Plague von Karma]

Hey there, thought I'd get a proper thing started for the king after over a year of his Smash presence. Still feels surreal that he's here. With the help of our Obese Overlord's minions, we have made a good bunch of resources over the past year dedicated to optimizing a character that has been desired for many years! I've mainly hung around the SmashCords, but left and have kind of been wandering around the high-level players. Anyway, you're not here for an explanation, you're here for the sauce. And sauce we have!

Well, let's get to work!​

If you want an exhaustive list of every resource, you can access the King K. Rool Lab Repository for all your plundering needs. There are literally dozens of sheets and going through them all is kind of insane, honestly. Essentially, that document contains everything that has ever been done for the character. All the resources below can be found there. All credit is included in the documents and the repo as well, so if you need to contact the people who made the docs, you can use the usernames as a basis.

General Resources
For quick access, these are considered to be the most important resources from the Lab Repository.

• Frame Data
  • More detailed than Kurogane Hammer's page, featuring FTilt values, notes, ledgegrab windows, and more.
• Terminology
  • The terminology used among the K. Rool playerbase. You'll hear a lot of r.Crown.
• Patch Note History
  • Detailed patch notes with value changes that are known. Lifted directly from the scripts.
• Kill Confirm & Combo Compendium
  • A document containing most of K. Rool's combos and kill confirms, with %s.
  • If you want stuff regarding FThrow, it may be worth going to this document for when it's Non-Tumble for guaranteed followups.
• Out of Shield Sheet
  • A spreadsheet detailing the frame in which a move used out of shield will come out, considering prior lag.
• Shield Data
  • All of K. Rool's moves on shield, considering freshness bonus.
• Hit Advantage Data
  • K. Rool's advantage on hit. FAir's is generally the most important bit.
  • Buries are not included here. For that, go here and here.
• Belly Super Armor & Crownerang Damage-based Armor Compendium
  • Every single move against King K. Rool's armor. Also includes Counter Scaling VS Armor, Gut Check Damage and general evaluations on what the numbers mean. Considers Base Damage and 1v1+Freshness for comparison purposes.
• Crownerang & Blunderbuss Projectile Interactions
  • K. Rool's projectiles VS other projectiles, which can be crucial in some matchups, such as whether Kannonballs will beat certain ones. Does not consider staling.
• High-Level Player VOD Playlist Directory
  • A directory containing VODs of high-level K. Rool players from across the globe.
• USmash Bury Popout Interactions
  • Whether or not you need to dash after DThrow, essentially. If you don't have to dash it's possible to charge USmash for around 12-ish frames and KO earlier.
