Operation: Roll Attack

[RomanceDawn]

At this point begging for any character is most definitely futile but there are certainly a few things that the whining of fans may actually be useful for.

What I have in mind is obviously Donkey Kong's iconic roll attack that originated in Donkey Kong Country. JigglyPuff gets Rollout, Yoshi gets an Egg Roll and of course Sonic does nothing but roll, there needs to be more of that rolling love spread around.

Every Smash fan hates every other Smash fan for "stupid" suggestions but I think we can all agree that we want to see DK with the roll attack that he has been lacking since the beginning.

Barely any of you have a Wii U, but for those that do please draw pictures and spread the word. Let's find each other, "yeah" each others posts and get those pictures really noticed by Sakurai's team. Miiverse is our vessel and enough noise about it all could potentially affect DK's final outcome.

I'm RomanceDawn on Miiverse and I want your help!

 

[SmashShadow]

Diddy has his cartwheel. Why doesn't DK have his roll?!

 

[Deleted member]

I dunno why he doesn't have this move to begin with. It would certainly help him in various situations.

 

[BlitznBurst]

DK's roll would work perfectly as his dash attack. What's his dash attack in Brawl again?

He sticks his foot out and stops. He's had this move since SSB64.

I can get at the most 250 yeahs which isn't too bad, and this one is sitting close to 100 right now. But if people who actually have Miiverse just take a couple minutes to yeah the thing and/or comment the word will get out faster.

The good thing is right now we still haven't seen his dash attack so there is some hope. Though I wonder if Sakurai ever thought a speedy roll for DK would be too over powered. But then I think about the reach and power of Ike's side special and I realize it would work just fine.

I just added a "Yeah!" on Miiverse. (don't mind my Mii though, hahaha)

I think this dash attack is a good idea since it reflects Donkey Kong Country a bit better in my opinion. It would be quick, have some ending lag, and decent knockback to KO in percentages around 60%-75% to not make it severely overpowered is the way I see it. I truly hope that Sakurai and his team does look at your post and at least considers it.

Thanks man what's your NNID? I will follow you. And please draw your own, and if you can't just type up the same message. It can't hurt.

My NNID is Brawler610. I will repeat what I've said here in the Miiverse community but I will have to make it shorter. Also, I am not that good at drawing. Hahaha.

EDIT: Here's the Miiverse link:

While I won't be too disappointed if he still has his dash attack from previous games, this is something that I do support since I do like Donkey Kong Country and love Donkey Kong Country Returns. That roll was incredibly useful in those games.

 

[RomanceDawn]

Yeah if he doesn't get the roll I'll be cool, I won't be losing any sleep over it. But if there was ever a time to try and effect development on something seemingly realistic, now is the time!

 

[extremechiton]

they could change his forward special to a roll instead of that headbutt thing.

I actually really like his forward special, its the kick I think should really go. But if there was no other option then yes, please take away the head butt for the roll.

 

[extremechiton]

agreed. that kick was too short ranged.

 

[Komenja]

A roll attack would be awesome. If I had a Wii U, I'd be "yeahing" all these pictures.

 

[DrMcNugget]

Yeah something similar to Snakes dash attack. I'm thinking about how awesome the DK DACUS would be.

 

[extremechiton]

A dk dacus will be powerful

 

[CardiganBoy]

I support DK to have his classic roll attack.

The best avatar i have seen in my life, and welcome to the boards!

 

[Medaka444]

I have an idea! Maybe the command for his new roll attack should be Left/Right + R.

Just kidding. I'm going with dash attack.

 

[RomanceDawn]

Who is on Miiverse here? I need Miiverse participants.

 

[MAGRWolfX]

DK being my main since Smash 64 really does deserve this. Something similar from Project M's DK's dash attack. It has light armor (I think) and goes off ledges. It makes excellent for approaching.
I'd help support it on Miiverse, but I ain't got a Wii U.

 

[Moon Monkey]

Why this isn't official baffles.

 

[SuperBrawler]

Make this happen.

 

[Priap0s]

Baffles me that I, or anyone else, haven't thought about this before. Could also be a good buff for the ol Ape since his dash attack is kinda lack luster.

I'm at work currently but as soon as I get home I'm gonna join in this valiant quest. I haven't drawn something since middle school (my teachers said I was good at it but I have doubts. I think they said that to every child) but I will do my best to contribute with a post of my own. Just... Don't laught. Not to loud atleast.

Great! I've fallen off myself mostly because I have a hard time drawing DK rolling hahaha. Not to mention Pokemon taking my precious time. But I think I will draw one right now.

I just wish more people would jump on the idea and scream for DK's roll attack as well.

 

[Diddy Kong]

HOW IS THE OPERATION GOING ON GUERILLAS?

 

[dnNCEW]

I've been wanting this roll attack since I saw the stupid kick in smash. Or even the fists-in-ground push that he uses in dk64 while running. Anything but.. THAT AWFUL KICK JESUS

 

[RomanceDawn]

HOW IS THE OPERATION GOING ON GUERILLAS?

With Pokemon on the front lines it's been very difficult to mount a proper assault. Still every now and then I draw up a little picture just to get the idea noticed from time to time. I just want to blitze the miiverse some day with 50 to 100 - Donkey Kong needs a roll attack posts. So that who every is monitoring that day on miiverse has to take notice.

If I could just get a list of the people who have a Wii U I could make it happen.

 

[Deleted member]

They really need to add this.

 

[Superyoshiom]

I'd like to see it as a dash attack for DK.

 

[ProjectAngel]

New dash attack or side special. DO EET.

 

[RomanceDawn]

Now that Miiverse is on 3DS it's easier to rally support but at this point with the characters being balanced as we speak I bet the moves/animations are locked in place for the most part.

I did make a bunch of DK rolling posts on Miiverse and maybe i'll do more but the time has almost certainly passed.

 

[UltimateWario]

Dunno if it means anything, but DK has his roll attack as his dash in Project M.

Haha, yes.

DK's current dash attack may as well be him stopping short for two seconds and holding up a sign that says "Free hits! Come stomp my monkey ass!", ala Bugs Bunny.

I'd like to see his roll attack AND have it be jump-cancellable, ala DKC, but that might be too much. Maybe he can cancel after the first X frames via jumping?

 

[Morbi]

Dunno if it means anything, but DK has his roll attack as his dash in Project M.

I was reading this expecting someone to say it toward the bottom, it works out quite well in my opinion. I would be interested in his roll attack as a dash attack in Smash 4.

 

[Renji64]

I will support this the roll in P:M is perfect it would be great in smash 4. I have a wiiU P:M me your username i'll follow and yeah your post.

I'm pretty sure it's too late. But my user is Romancedawn. I might make another just for the heck of it but they have been in the balancing phase for a while now. Moves are most likely locked. Hopefully it was added.

I hope there is still time i haven't heard of any changes for mario i want the fludd changed too.

 

[GmanSir]

Well, we haven't seen DK's side special yet...

 

[RomanceDawn]

Well, we haven't seen DK's side special yet...

We haven't seen his side special or his dash attack yet so there are potentially two attacks that could be changed. Everything else so far is exactly the same aside from the Spinning Kong flailing in more angles during a grounded attack.

With all the footage we've seen of DK the dash and side special have been avoided completely. I hope it means that Sakurai is waiting to surprise us.
