To answer your questions:
The idea of K. Rool's obesity has already been debunked.
holy god I forgot about this thing. Was so proud when I made it but now it's really rough looking haha
I'll always love the fast-paced action of some casual Melee. But I never expect that game's formula to ever be recycled. I'll judge Ultimate on how it is as its own game, and see if it's enjoyable (which it looks to be).
I kinda wish they used Klaptraps instead of more K. Rools. It's a bit odd K. Rool feeds his victims to a horde of crocs identical to himself.Was this posted yet?
This is amazing.
That's his family. Including his brother, Kaptain K. Rool of course.
How is his Side B not spelled Krownerang?K. Rool's Specials now have names.
Relax, mate, don't read into it too much
I mean, people certainly aren’t doing the same for Ridley, who is currently looking mediocre competitively. K. Rool has a legitimately good toolset, kill power, mobility, and survivability (one of the heaviest characters + one of the best recoveries in the game). I’d bet if he had a skinnier frame like Snake or something, people would be saying he’s OP.
I don't doubt what you say in that Ridley seems to have some not insignificant weaknesses, and that K. Rool has an impressive looking kit right now, but it is worth noting Ridley was and among detractors likely still is far and away far more polarizing than K. Rool was as a character. partially due to some Ridley fans being toxic on occasion, but also Ridley's big deterring point for most detractors (Compare "He's canonically almost always 4x bigger than the protagonist of his home series" with "He's ugly/irrelevant.". One of them doesn't argue why they feel a character couldn't fundamentally work.). In the way that it's possible some K. Rool fans are wearing rose colored glasses hoping really hard K. Rool is good, I wouldn't doubt there's at least a few people still salty enough to hope that Ridley ends up being bad. We saw that with Corrin and Cloud, Smash fans saying they couldn't play the game anymore just knowing they might see those characters in For Glory, even if they themselves wouldn't buy them and dare sully their pure roster. Ridley has some good stuff going for him, like a nice nair and good tilts and 2 good specials and 1 situational one in up b (Yeah, I'll concede skewer looks straight up bad imo. Not in 1v1 at least.), and yet some like M2K are calling him abysmal (Do note that I'm not implying M2K hates Ridley. I know that it's mostly all theorycrafting right now and no two competitive players will have the same opinions on every character.).
Are there full renders for other characters? Do you have a link?
Honestly, we seriously shouldn't take the word of an analyst as gospel. Just a week ago they were saying Chrom was going to be trash because of his recovery, and now that the people who have gotten their hands on the game are trying things with him, it's become abundantly clear that he has some of the best frame data and hitboxes in the entire game. He's like Little Mac without ****ty aerials.
Oh, absolutely, I wasn't claiming at all that we should take analysts as gospel. If anything I was trying to suggest the opposite since my point was people analyzing Ridley could potentially be subtley biased too.
I figured, I thought I would just add on with a good example as to why that is.
I didn't see this earlier, but wanted to respond:
That was the most inspiring thing I've ever read, and it's about a fictional character. What am I doing with my life.
I have chosen to not be bitter about any character inclusions after K. Rool got in.
Wait, you've been playing him? But that means...
His hat is very pretty indeed~ Has good taste.
