Really, he said that? TBH I don't think Rare K. Rool is more threatening. I think he's zanier looking. Only time I could say K. Rool was "scary" was DK64's model which overdid the eye.
I misremembered the quote slightly, here it is:
I could see someone thinking his Rare design is scarier.
He might use a combination because the legs of the Paon design have more ...mobility to them.I misremembered the quote slightly, here it is:
I could see someone thinking his Rare design is scarier.
His bloodshot eye is way more overdone in his Rare design, way more detail in the scales.
I could see Sakurai thinking his Rare design is "cuter". It's a lot less detailed by comparison.
I was thinking the same thing. Those Rare legs are too stubby.
I want K. Rool to kill Corrin in his trailer to get his sweet revenge.
What did Corrin ever do to K Rool? I mean K Rool seems the type to not need a reason to hurt an individual but it's pretty weird to seek revenge for no reason.
It does look better with the Smashified interpretation. The scales help a lot. But I think I am still not happy with it due to the loss of the "cute" factor. I think there is something stupid, goofy, zany and cute about Rare's K. Rool. He's not just "threatening". He's a huge googlyeyed goofball whose name is a crappy pun. The loss of the googly eyes on Paon K. Rool, whichever interpretation it is, makes him more "realistic" but also less "outrageous" and "over the top".I feel like the Paon design just isn't very flattering in that render. It can definitely still look cool and threatening with the right touches:
I'd be 100% okay with something like this, honestly, but I see no reason for them to not use the Rare design due to the costume.
This is also a pretty decent touchup of the Smashified art:

KING K. ROOL
So this is suggesting:
That model needs a tail, and I'm sick of seeing all those edits but yet no one seems to want to add a simple tail to it. It doesn't even look that good in hindsight.I feel like the Paon design just isn't very flattering in that render. It can definitely still look cool and threatening with the right touches:

King- King K. Rool
"King K. Rool krashes the party!"

beat me to the punch on this one, but it's always been one of my favorites.)
What if him playing dead was his counter?
I thought about this before could be something that makes him a bit different and stand out more. Like its not a regular counter just absorbs damage and doesn't reflect it back or something maybe even heals him a bit instead? Would reflect his boss battles a bit that even though he goes down hes not actually defeated.
I only just joined a few days ago myself, so I'm not sure if there are rules regarding who gets to welcome others to the thread and who doesn't, but I couldn't find anything when I looked, so... welcome aboard!
I saw a few articles pointing out the sudden trademark a few years back, and I noticed that they all claimed that Nintendo had trademarked King K. Rool based solely on the fact that they put the little ™ symbol next to his name. As it turns out, though, if you actually have a registered trademark, you don't use the ™ symbol; instead, you use the ® symbol. If you use ™, that usually means that you don't have a registered trademark, but you're claiming it as a common-law trademark to try and dissuade other people from using it, even though it doesn't have the same protections as a registered trademark.

I'd rather it be his crouch position.
Tail would be nice but I still think the Smashified art looks great. It's by far the most flattering rendition of the Paon art.
Don't believe those.
I would love for his play dead to be his down smash, if you use it in the air it becomes his belly flop from Donkey Kong Land
I miss the days when a whole roster screenshot got leaked, and people would call it fake. No frills, and more elegant in a way.
