Now that you mention it, the final boss battle of DK64 didn't really feel like a final boss. It's pretty cool that you get to use all the Kongs in the fight, but it didn't have that sense of urgency like a final boss should. I still like the fight and I agree with your point. I should revisit the game soon. But yeah it's great to see DK64 references with K. Rool especially the Blast-o-Matic.
MAN, I CAN'T WAIT TO LAND THIS MOVE AT FINAL STOCK. IT FEELS SO GOOD LIKE
FORWARD AERIAL. 
The king only looks better and better the more I see of him. That bair dunk looks insanely satisfying, especially the triumphant glare downwards the King has afterwards, like taking out the trash.
And we need to appreciate the fact that he has not one but TWO reliable spikes.
I'm not afraid of the king getting nerfed. I want the game to be balanced, and if K. Rool really is OP, I don't mind them nerfing him. I'm going to play him regardless.
They probably know Final Smashes are inherently unbalanced moves and don't really see the point in patching them, unless there's some kind of killer bug.
That's definitely a problem, since Zelda's new Final Smash is considered too good to some people, while Grand Star still isn't guaranteed to do much for Rosalina; the shorter Final Smash duration adds even more insult to injury. And then there's Demon King Ganon, where if he paralyzes you, you're pretty much dead, and based on what I've seen, Ganondorf's Final Smash in Ultimate is better than in Smash 3DS / Wii U.
Three. Don't forget Usmash has a spiking hitbox. And you might say 'well, that's a grounded spike, that's not useful'. But remember, recoveries have been hit hard in this game. We're going to see a LOT of aggressive recoveries (look at Roy and Ken) that rely on hitting the opponent to make them safe. Know what solves that problem? A Belly Armor Spiking move.
Seeing K. Rool in more Mario spin-offs would be fantastic. I would definitely buy him if he were to make it into Mario Party. I'd also love to see him be added in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe if they ever decided to add even more content. Just imagine driving around as K. Rool. I'd be a very happy person.
A Mario Kart 8 Deluxe appearance is pretty much wishful thinking at this point, but a Super Mario Party appearance could be possible if DLC is ever planned.
Nintendo knows people will buy him, so I think his DLC potential is not to be underestimated.
What event is it? I think there's a very good chance you'll get the full build.
It's Comic Con in Birmingham (UK). Happens November 24th-25th.
Ah, thanks for telling me this. Man, that's a nice detail, despite it being slightly detrimental to the king. They really put their all into him. Him and Ridley just have so much detail and love put into them. Kinda makes it worth waiting so long for them, if they were Smash 4 DLC, I don't know if they could have been as great as they are here.
*CRACKS KNUCKLES*
Have you actually watched footage of it or are you being pedantic? It buries the opponent in the ground, same as ROBs Down Throw, same as DKs headbutt, the Pitfall, all that jazz. It functions identically - up to and including mashing out to reduce time buried.
From what I've seen in Brawl and Smash 3DS / Wii U, Giga Bowser's d-throw could only bury fighters who were caught in the crossfire of the bury hitboxes; the grabbed fighter never got buried whatsoever. And even when I modified the d-throw's throw to have the bury effect, it did NOT bury the grabbed fighter at all; the fighter had to get hit by a bury hitbox AFTER being released to get buried.
Collateral hitboxes on throws have nothing to do with the person being thrown. You'll never hit the intended victim of Ryu's up throw with the considerably stronger foot coming down, for example.
Are you recording footage? If so...please do a King K.Rool vs. Donkey Kong match. I need it for the nostalgia!
He'd have to have the pirate hat to match the neutral special.
I couldn't tell you how it's actually coded in, but here's some footage so you can see exactly how it's working:
As an honest answer, I don't know whether anything will be recorded. It's also highly dependent on who I play with and what queues are like; if they are long (which is not usually the case in the UK, I remember them being around 20 minutes in my last event as opposed to the 4+ hours I've heard reported from the US) then the chances of me getting to do a singles match is slim.
