So many people said K. Rool wouldn't happen because he isn't relevant anymore, he hasn't appeared in a game in over a decade. Well, now his inclusion throws that argument out the window for other characters who are also in that same situation.
Erik Shaw Exactly! I hope we're gonna get Isaac from Golden Sun then... The uniqueness and all the things Golden Sun could bring to Smash would make all of it even better!
"Us hardcore gamers REALLY know how important he is. CASUALS don't know the SIGNIFICANCE of this. The REAL fans know." Sorry, but you sound absolutely full of yourself.
I think this should be the last game and we could get updated versions of this game for future consoles. This is the ultimate game and I think that was Sakurai’s main goal. He is putting in all the fan requested characters so he can finish the series without any complaints about things he didn’t do
Always Wright just want waluigi... i know it’s like a meme or whatever, but I honestly want him. Also, they should make enhanced ports each time, not a direct port... imagine a new character coming out, (like a new series selling millions) and they didn’t update smash bros
Always Wright 15 years later, the swotch comes out, ultimate 2.0 comes out. They push better graphics, more characters, and maybe change some mechanics.
Yup, King K. Rool is now an official Smash Brother. I still can't believe this is real... I'm not sure if Sluggers is an underrated game; it's not a main Mario adventure, but I generally hear praise about it. Still, the fact that K. Rool returned after _ten years_ is amazing. I expected him to come back in a DKC game sooner than being added to Smash, but I am totally fine with the opposite effect. I saw some alternate colors for the king. Not only does he change color, but it seems that his belly uses different metal colors too! That is sick! King K. Rool's confirmation was my favorite part of the Direct, which was an otherwise great presentation.
Glad to see Villains/antagonists in Smash Bros ever increasing First Ridley now (edit:) Dark Samus and K Rool K all respect to Smash 4 Wii U, but I'd I'd like to see Ultimate absolutely steamroll the former in terms of sales
They'll have to talk to Microsoft and Rare about that. It's unlikely, but anything is possible since Nintendo and Microsoft do seem to work together often lately.
BubblegumSempai Yeah Nintendo owns all of it. Rare created it sure but it was under Nintendo brand. If that was the case,they wouldn't be able to use Diddy Kong since rare created him too
Now the original 8 from 64 all have villains! Edit: Mario:Bowser Yoshi:Bowser Jr Pikachu:Mewtwo DK:KKR Samus:Ridley Fox:Wolf Link:Ganondorf Kirby:Metaknight
In fairness, K. Rool was designed by Rare and appears almost exclusively in games that they developed. Plus, Rare *did* own K. Rool until they stopped making games for Nintendo, at which point they gave Nintendo the rights to all of the Donkey Kong-related characters that they had created.
I mean, like he said, K. Rool hasn’t appeared in about 10 years. He was a pretty unlikely pick by the looks of it. Also, most of the people who don’t know K. Rool are kids... Have a lot of people forgotten that Smash is a kid’s game? I mean, jeez. They aim this for children, no need to be rude if most of the target audience were literally toddlers at the time that K Rool made his last appearance.
I have to disagree, I feel like when Ridley was added the team was like "well everyone has their villain,except DK" it was very obvious and just made sense. You're making it seem like it's the second coming of Jesus
I heard from my brother that crocodiles are biologically immortal. But they usually can't get enough of a food supply to sustain them, so they die of hunger. But they can't die of old age. Is that true? Or is he full of shit again?
Both Ridley and King K Roll show that they are listening a lot to Western fans. I used to believe Ridley was too big, but I love how they designed him. He's smaller, but he's still definitely Ridley, and he's not so deformed from his normal look that he stops looking intimidating.
+Eddie P You make it sound like there's still no chance for him to be included, however I can almost guarantee that he'll be playable, have you noticed in the E3 Direct Waluigi was used to show off the ability to KO Assist Trophies? Or how in the recent Direct there was a purple and yellow chair behind Sakurai? No small detail is left alone by this man, and based on the Dedede bamboozle it seems like Sakurai is a master troll who I believe is trolling us with little tidbits of the tall, lanky, and purple powerhouse himself.
Hyperencrpted12345 K. Rool was one of the most popular picks in Japan though. Ridley, however, was only really popular in the west so you're right about that.
Well, Nintendo had to go through Microsoft to get K. Rool, so it is possible. If anything, I'm a tad surprised that they went with K. Rool instead of Banjo, who was also heavily requested (And Microsoft has said they would be more than willing to work with Nintendo if they wanted Banjo in Smash).
Collin Douglas I want Sora more then Geno. Also Sora has a bigger possiblity to be in smash then Geno due to his popularity growing, new game in a 6 months, and many possible move sets.
Storm Break Sora has less of a chance than Geno because one, Sakurai has stated in an interview that he himself wanted Geno playable since Brawl, and two, Nintendo would have to go to _Disney_ , not Square Enix for licensing rights to Sora, which is way more insane, and probably a lot more stressful and expensive than any of the other third parties since Disney is such a huge mega corp.
Storm Break Over what, the truth? Everything I stated is true, I just can’t realistically see Nintendo approaching Disney to ask for Sora. Not to mention, Nintendo still has that deal with Universal Studios for theme parks, so it’d also be highly inappropriate from a business standpoint.
Just In Gaming I mean it’s kinda the better equivalent of duck hunt so I don’t see why it’s a big deal. Retro characters are getting spotlight and that probably means more will too. ( if that’s what your suggesting )
I want Porky Minch so bad. He would be a heavyweight due to the spider mech and move somewhat fast since he moved before Ness during his fight in Earthbound.
#supersluggers I remember when I first unlocked him, and I was so friggin' happy to see him again. Then, when King K. Rool first went up to bat against me when I played Exhibition, he knocked out a home run, despite my attempt to get a Baby Mario/Baby Luigi jump grab. I was not even mad.
This is the best game ever because Sakurai listens to fans. The only things I still want in the game is a story mode and Bandana Dee as a playable character. They both have a lot of evidence fo being in the game.
Xavi Kortekaas goku, mickey mouse, or naruto was probably #1 on the ballot. Only a small percentage of hardcore speculators know the characters you named
the moves weve seen K Rool have in the trailer in my opinion are the most accurate to the original source than any character ive seen in such a long time, every one of his moves is canon to his appearances in the games. it was great to see, oldschool DK games are a timeless treasure
"Nintendo didn't want him in Tropical Freeze" I mean Retro Studios developed the game, and while Nintendo certainly had to approve stuff it ultimately wasn't their call on disallowing his use in the game
I don't think Sakurai is necessarily giving the fans the choice, which is what people are making it seem like. These characters were extremely popular in the ballot and so was bayonetta but she was added before the ballot was over. So maybe these characters were always planned for the next game. It seems like Sakurai is still doing what he wants with his game but that is the only way we would love it, and it is why Sakurai does not want to give the franchise to anybody else, including the fans.
@ndv diaz That doesn't explain the addition of two new Metroid representatives. Metroid isn't all that popular in Japan, so it was pretty much exclusively western audiences demanding them.
Hooray for King K. Rool! Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 were very near and dear to my heart in the 90s. I'm really glad for his representation in Smash Bros., he deserves it.
Simon Belmont is also a Nintendo ver. Hes third party NOW yeah but he was a Nintendo character. Sadly my hopes for Bomberman got crushed when he was revealed as a assist trophy, now i just want Takumi or Hector^^
I hope this isn't the last of putting in the villans/anti-heroes. There is still more villains/anti-heroes that we need. I want them to put in Shadow the Hedgehog (as an echo fighter to sonic or playable in his move-set), Dr. Eggman, Waluigi (He needs attention now (show us that Waluigi as an assist trophy was a troll and he's a character in Ultimate!!!), and Hades, Medusa, or Viridi (as an echo fighter to Palutena (whoever comes first)).
hate to break it to you, but waluigi isn't a troll. if it was a troll, sakurai would've showed him as a character in the same direct he was released as an assist trophy. begging for him isn't gonna change him, they are basically done with the game and so there is no hope left for him as a character in smash 5.
Retro would need Microsoft's approval. Nintendo and Microsoft are on pretty friendly terms right now, so it's possible, but they do still have to go through them.
No they don't all characters from Donkey Kong are owned solely by Nintendo while it is true many Donkey Kong characters were made by Rare, Nintendo has the rights to all of them, as a matter of fact they just renewed K. Rool's recently.
When Rare was bought by Microsoft, Nintendo retained ownership of all assets created for first-party franchises (which is also why they used Krystal and other Dinosaur Planet references in future Star Fox games.)
RandomGamer95 would be really cool to see an exclusive for xbox and switch. Would be pretty revolutionary for the gaming industry for a first party game to allow another console to also have it as an exclusive.
AlexFroste800 Shadow and Shantae. I'm still not fully positive Square would give full creative control for Geno since they still won't let Sakurai use more than 2 Final Fantasy songs.
If you're talking about the F-Zero villain, then I agree. But his name is Black Shadow. The machine he rides in is the Black Bull. Which would probably be his Final Smash. Even if he wasn't an echo.
That would be super neat, I'd like that too. Sadly, Petey Piranha is probably in the same category as Waluigi, given that he was a side character in one of the Mario sports titles.
The rights to Donkey Kong got bought back from Rare when Rare got taken over by Microsoft. And that was DESPITE the Kremlings (except for King K.Rool apparently) being taken by Rare, and Microsoft by proxy. The main reason that K.Rool and the Kremlings weren't in Tropical Freeze was because of Rare's bankruptcy and subsequent takeover.
I'd seriously doubt that when they were consistently a top pick for the Smash Fighter ballot and polls on who should be included. I mean, who'd vote for a character they know nothing about? It's more than likely that a significant majority of people who knew who K. Rool and Ridley are.
I find your lack of proper Kharatization disturbing (yes I spelt it like that on purpose) it should be Donkey Kong Country: K. Rool's Komeback (cause we all know he loves doing that for some reason)
Well said, Siiroth! :) I agree, I actually didn't think the Kremling King would ever become a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. (even though he has so many movesets that would work perfectly for the series' gameplay style), mainly because he hasn't been the main antagonist in a Donkey Kong game in over a decade (but, when you really think about it, Simon Belmont hasn't appeared in a Castlevania game in almost 10 years, yet, he was just announced as a playable fighter too, which is fantastic), however, I'm really happy that I (and many others) was proven wrong, and man, oh, man, did they make King K. Rool look menacing?! I was honestly pretty terrified with the way he was introduced, and watching him run after DK, and Diddy... In fact, just watching his reveal trailer again in your video made me about as horrified as Luigi was in Simon Belmont's reveal trailer! XD But anyway, it's great to have not only another villain added to the roster, but a heavyweight too, and K. Rool looks like he's gonna be an amazing heavy fighter too! :D Now let's just hope that a new Donkey Kong Country game (or any Donkey Kong game for that matter) is currently in development!
Automatically gonna play and main the heck out of him. Don't care if low tier, trash tier, nerfed, bad, etc. I begged for his arrival for the longest time, now that he's here, i'm going to get my patience's worth.
I still dont get why people want waluigi. Waluigi would be just another troll He is goofy, anoying, not funny and doesn't even have a reliable moveset. He is not even important to the series he is from. He only appears in Spin offs and isnt even important there. Wario is the closest character to him but as far as I know waluigi doesn't even appear or get refered in Wario Ware. Now what fans? Do you guys have any reliable arguments besides fanboyism???? I doubt that. Its not that I hate waluigi, if he was in I wont even mind BUT it wont make any sense and would be unfair for other better characters so stop being ungrateful cause this game is awesome with or without waluigi. Sakurai did an awesome job on this. At least he friggin appears as assist trophy god damn it! Think of the characters or series that dont even get mentioned.
I mean, most people have been asking for a Waluigi game for a WHILE now. They haven't made one cuz Nintendo has a weird aversion to Waluigi. Honestly, having him playable in this would actually push Nintendo to actually make a game where Waluigi plays a major role. I mean, come on, he's only ever been a villian legitimately in the freaking Mario DDR game.
L G Nintendo acknowledged that Waluigi doesn't deserve a spot and that wont be justified just by a aversion. Sakurai probably ended up reaching the same conclusion as me. You got it wrong, its not smash wich will introduce more characters on it to provide more popularity to them. Those characters are the ones who must be shown to be worthy before being accepted. And Waluigi has never shown that even with the fans suport. I mean he lacks at moveset as well you know... Sakurai would be pushing Waluigi a lot to put him as a playable. Wich seems that wont be happening. His personallity is not even good and he tries to be funny but he's not. There isn't any reason to me to give him more attention while other characters definitly deserve it more and have more of a role on their games. Nintendo has been listening to the fans as the last direct proved. If Waluigi is THAT requested as you say then it wont be just a little aversion stoping him.
Queen Sectonia The koopalings are all implemented in one character and yes I recognize they are different, but not in smash. Just skins. That would be like saying dark samus was playable all The time as a samus skin but its still not really dark samus
elemomnialpha that's what we think until they do it. And we lose our minds. Sora, and I can't show bias because I didn't play his game, Sora is largely requested. His games are on nintendo, promotion and cloud is evidence in cooperation
Asanagia Sora is owned by Disney not Square, and Nintendo is currently working with their competition Universal for their theme park. Disney has shown no sign of cooperation as the Disney Afternoon collection is not and still shows no signs of coming to the Switch Do you think DISNEY is going to give up creative freedom for Sakurai to add him to the game? He's not impossible per se but incredibly unlikely
Just a speculation but there'll probably be a multiple of 4 more new characters. If you look at the elimination mode then including krool there ends with an exact multiple of four for every character on the roster so they'd want to make it so it stays that way right? So if the 4 people are playing nobody loses out by the time the game has finished. Maybe (and this is a huge maybe because i dont know if the math will add up) they'll make the ending roster a multiple of 2, 3 and 4 so that it breaks up evenly for people who want to play this mode.
Laddie Porter I’m so happy he's finally been revived and is in Smash. As for the next Donkey Kong game. At this point i’m optimistic he’ll make it in. Sakurai admitted that he added K Rool due to him topping most of the polls/Smash Ballot which is basically Nintendo acknowledging the fan demand for King K Rool. Plus hell he’s Donkey Kong’s #1 adversary. He is DK’s own Bowser. He HAS to be in the next DK game Especially if Retro isn’t doing it. Retro seem to dislike K Rool and the Kremling Krew seeing as they completely ignored K Rool and the Kremlings in both of their DK games
I’ve been waiting 17 years to play as Isaac in Smash Bros, dude! And also, Geno is my most wanted 3rd party character, so I’ll be excited if he gets in as well! Fingers crossed, man! 🤞
Mario Super Sluggers is an amazing game!! I've been one of those people desperate for K.Rool to be in Smash, and for him to return to the DK games, so one down, one to go! So excited to make the King one of my mains!!
JustAnotherGamer hopefully. I really like heavy weight characters, but I don't play competitively though, so I really hope he's good for the competitive people that wanted him
Honestly, I'd much rather iconic videogame characters. Give me Bomberman or Spyro or Crash Bandicoot! Or Indie characters that have changed the gaming landscape like Shovel Knight! Hell, Microsoft and Nintendo are besties right now... What about Banjo Kazooie?
Its kinda difficult to make an original moveset at this point WITHOUT accidentally takeing moves from others. Look at sonic alot of his moves copy from other fighters. (Except from his spindash attacks which is just spinning...) For all intensive purposes, ganon *IS* decloned.
Spectre Are you serious? King K. Rool has been in, what... 4 (non- spinoff) Donkey Kong games as the main villain? And he got his own moves. Ganandorf has more than enough games to pull from. Ocarina of Time has the ground pound, and orb projectiles, and levitate which can replace the C.Falcon cloned special moves: Neutral B, Up B, and Down B. Those are obvious additions... especially when you GO BACK to OoT Ganondorf model. As for his normals, Ganondorf is a sorcerer that knows how to fight with melee weapons (swords/spears), you're telling me that they can't form a unique moveset around that? My dude, have you played Legend of Zelda? He shouldn't have ANY C.Falcon moves, not with all the source behind him.
Yes I have played legend of zelda, Not your game, not your call. Sakurai mustve kept ganons moveset the same from a dev standpoint. Just easier to keep with a few changes. Thats why the other semi clones haveny changed much. (I.e. dr mario, roy, young link etc...) They gave kkr his own more personal one due to him being new and having a blank slate. Just be glad ganon isnt JUST a falcon clone with the EXACT same moves as before. Certainly better than the last games. Just because a character HAS moves from their own games doesnt automatically mean thats what they will be.
Agreed. Was kinda hoping we’d get more third party fighters. Was also hoping we could get some type of Octopath Assist or something given it’s recent popularity.
King K Rool is a character I've been lobbying for since Melee; glad to see him finally make it. When I was playing Smash Bros on the Wii U, I decided to try the Smash Tour and while it was quite boring, the one aspect I liked was at the end where you could fight as all the character you acquired throughout the game. I was hoping that they would make a mode where you could have 3-5 stock lives and each life would be a different character; Glad to see they implemented that as well, but I don't see anyone talking about it and nobody seems to be as excited about it as I am.
It may look like they’re listening in the moment, but of course, they could’ve just chosen characters from the Fighter Ballot for real. Bayonetta was planned for Smash 4 before the ballot even dropped and it did say that the ballot may be used for future installments.
Saying its the most important thing in smash history is a stretch, Nintendo has always listened to fans and one thing that is probably more Important is when they brought in snake for the first time
The video didn't touch on any of the reasons why this is significant. From the departure or Rare to dk's history. In reality, that's kinda what i was expecting from this instead of "hur dur oh yeah, us hardcore nintendo fans" i feel like there was some valid intention behind this video but it never got there
3:50 King K. Rool actually is fast from recent gameplay that has been shown. This is true to his boss battle in the first DKC where he charges at the Kongs and progressively gets faster as he takes more hits.
Fun fact! Retro Studios actually wanted to incorporate K. Rool in the Switch port of DKCTF, but they got turned down because Sakurai had already had first dibs on properly reviving him via Smash Ultimate. I'm personally glad his glorious return was through Smash as it would sort of dampen the hype if he was already the secret final boss of a port of a Wii U game a few months earlier in 2018
i really hope that they include Geno from super mario rpg he's also REALLY highly requested, and, similar to King K Rool, he has a DLC mii costume plus, it'd be his first game in 20 YEARS
So many people said K. Rool wouldn't happen because he isn't relevant anymore, he hasn't appeared in a game in over a decade. Well, now his inclusion throws that argument out the window for other characters who are also in that same situation.
Erik Shaw Still, there was no point to add him, Just fanservice
Erik Shaw Exactly! I hope we're gonna get Isaac from Golden Sun then... The uniqueness and all the things Golden Sun could bring to Smash would make all of it even better!
Erik Shaw Seriously, There was no point to add him, He is just a dead character, Fanservice game
Erik Shaw I honestly don't get why they say that. No relevance? They must've forgotten the likes of Ice Climbers,R.O.B.,etc.
Mettaton 48 They should cut all of those characters, Really, It doesn't makes sense
I'm a casual gamer, but I still know who King K Rool is...
FROM SUPER MARIO SLUGGERS
Lol same
MasterOfPotato / Gamer ha filthy casuals.
I know him from the rule 34 art.
I know him from Smash Run.
BOI he sure fattened a lot since then.
(Jk, I love the DKC Trilogy)
Yeah me too
I hope King K Rool stays for more Donkey Kong games and maybe a few Mario Spin offs
Same here!
Agreed, and I think that will come to fruition
hoping for an epic comeback of King K Rool in the next Dk game.
Couldn’t agree more. This could be his comeback.
BlueFire 1398 MAYBE Mario kart 8 deluxe?
Can we all agree Sakurai needs five years of vacation for all this hard work?
Démian García Not until we get waluigi
Mr Bong Along sakurai and his team is working so hard to please his fans and all you do is complain come on give the guy a break
2 years later and still working
"Us hardcore gamers REALLY know how important he is. CASUALS don't know the SIGNIFICANCE of this. The REAL fans know."
Sorry, but you sound absolutely full of yourself.
Agreed. Nice video anyways.
Calm down kid, here's a fidget spinner.
he's right tho, casual fans play fortnite, not donkey kong
Ricky V us hardkore gamerz are supremely enlightened, unlike those filthy casuals, who play games for, curse the words, FUN!
Down voted video because too much weeb
I think this should be the last game and we could get updated versions of this game for future consoles. This is the ultimate game and I think that was Sakurai’s main goal. He is putting in all the fan requested characters so he can finish the series without any complaints about things he didn’t do
Wouldn't be very disappointing as this looks fantastic
Always Wright I hope we get Geno.
Always Wright just want waluigi... i know it’s like a meme or whatever, but I honestly want him. Also, they should make enhanced ports each time, not a direct port... imagine a new character coming out, (like a new series selling millions) and they didn’t update smash bros
He recently said he’ll continue to make Smash games if there’s a demand for it.
Always Wright 15 years later, the swotch comes out, ultimate 2.0 comes out. They push better graphics, more characters, and maybe change some mechanics.
He better have his silly, muffled, "Thank you!" in one of his victory animations.
Even if he doesn't say it, I'd still be happy if he makes the same pose
i think they’re just using realistic animal grunts for him, just like DK and bowser
YUUUH BANKYOOO!
i hope he does the “OOOOOUGH” when you hit him from dkc1
I don't think turtles fucking roar Usman lqbal
Yup, King K. Rool is now an official Smash Brother. I still can't believe this is real...
I'm not sure if Sluggers is an underrated game; it's not a main Mario adventure, but I generally hear praise about it.
Still, the fact that K. Rool returned after _ten years_ is amazing.
I expected him to come back in a DKC game sooner than being added to Smash, but I am totally fine with the opposite effect.
I saw some alternate colors for the king. Not only does he change color, but it seems that his belly uses different metal colors too! That is sick!
King K. Rool's confirmation was my favorite part of the Direct, which was an otherwise great presentation.
I completely agree, it's very exciting to see him confirmed for the game :D
I'm hoping that with K.rool's inclusion to smash, this will wake up Retro studios and give us a DKCR3, with him as the main bad guy.
Rip waluigi for smash.
Where is this praise and where can I find it?
I remember waking up every morning and playing a game of sluggers 😂
I hate that "sakurai doesn't listen to his fans" argument. People really want the entire video game industry in this game. Chill out.
A lot of people seem to think that their pick of choice is more popular than it really is, especially Waluigi fans.
I mean, I want Rex, but even if we don't get him, I'm more than satisfied with all the great things we are getting.
Dustin Rausch specially vandana dee and geno fans
I want scorpion in smash for that mortal Kombat rep
Right on. Kids being trolls now.
_You hardly said anything that is new or unknown in this video._
*_Seriously, put some effort into your script_*
Exactly what I was thinkin
Yo i got nothing from this whole video, waste of time
Glad to see Villains/antagonists in Smash Bros ever increasing
First Ridley now (edit:) Dark Samus and K Rool
K all respect to Smash 4 Wii U, but I'd I'd like to see Ultimate absolutely steamroll the former in terms of sales
Maybe we could get Black Shadow as a Captain Falcon Echo and Sephiroth as a Cloud Echo.
Six Paths Sonic the Pokémon Trainer Get that crappy edgy son of a failure out of there.
I'll take either Black Shadow or Blood Falcon as Capt Falcon's echo.
Especially since its on a much better console
we need one more for now, that would be Shadow (he can be classified as either a Villain or Anti-Hero like Meta Knight)
I hope in the next DK Country game King K. Rool and the Kremlings come back as the main antagonists. No more Snowmads or stupid looking Tikis.
I'm hoping that the Kremlings were pulling the strings from behind.
JaaJ eLouLe
The games aren't bad but it's odd not seeing a kremlings shocked face after you jump on it
They'll have to talk to Microsoft and Rare about that. It's unlikely, but anything is possible since Nintendo and Microsoft do seem to work together often lately.
I just want a dk64 remake
BubblegumSempai
Yeah Nintendo owns all of it. Rare created it sure but it was under Nintendo brand. If that was the case,they wouldn't be able to use Diddy Kong since rare created him too
Now the original 8 from 64 all have villains!
Edit:
Mario:Bowser
Yoshi:Bowser Jr
Pikachu:Mewtwo
DK:KKR
Samus:Ridley
Fox:Wolf
Link:Ganondorf
Kirby:Metaknight
If you count Bowser as Mario's AND Yoshi's, sure
Countertop Confessions I was thinking bowser jr?
Student Rohan Joshi Mewtwo?
If you count the original 12 Ness and Captain Falcon have no Antagonist in Ultimate.
Now, if Banjo-Kazooie gets in, we could have the 64 era revived in Smash!
You would be shocked at how many folks thought King K. Rool was not even a property of Nintendo..
I gotta say, the world is filled with ding-dongs.
In fairness, K. Rool was designed by Rare and appears almost exclusively in games that they developed. Plus, Rare *did* own K. Rool until they stopped making games for Nintendo, at which point they gave Nintendo the rights to all of the Donkey Kong-related characters that they had created.
I mean, like he said, K. Rool hasn’t appeared in about 10 years. He was a pretty unlikely pick by the looks of it.
Also, most of the people who don’t know K. Rool are kids...
Have a lot of people forgotten that Smash is a kid’s game? I mean, jeez. They aim this for children, no need to be rude if most of the target audience were literally toddlers at the time that K Rool made his last appearance.
Suz Krayz Not offended, lol.
Just pointing out that most of the people who didn’t know K. Rool was a Nintendo character are kids.
But we are all konkey dongs who shower people with coconut cream pie
I have to disagree, I feel like when Ridley was added the team was like "well everyone has their villain,except DK" it was very obvious and just made sense. You're making it seem like it's the second coming of Jesus
That's just another reason to add K. Rool.
Snake doesn't have a villain, thats why Volgin needs to be added 😂 a lightning based character who isnt a pokemon would be awsome
Dwit Beathead Sonic needs Dr Eggman. Hell be another villain and heavyweight
Ridley and k.rool have been requested for smash since FOREVER like, since smash 64.
So yeah IT IS the second coming of jesus.
HARDBODY JAY Psycho Mantis?
K.Rool dead? He is the main antagonist of a legendary trilogy. He is immortal.
Maybe he is dead like wrinkly kong.
Dkc 3 is ass
I heard from my brother that crocodiles are biologically immortal. But they usually can't get enough of a food supply to sustain them, so they die of hunger. But they can't die of old age. Is that true? Or is he full of shit again?
Not to mention a sub-trilogy on Gameboy and the 64 bit collectathon master piece as well.
Both Ridley and King K Roll show that they are listening a lot to Western fans.
I used to believe Ridley was too big, but I love how they designed him. He's smaller, but he's still definitely Ridley, and he's not so deformed from his normal look that he stops looking intimidating.
Hyperencrpted12345 The first Metroid's Ridley was about as tall as Samus, so that's what they probably based it off of.
We also wanted Waluigi, but ok
+Eddie P You make it sound like there's still no chance for him to be included, however I can almost guarantee that he'll be playable, have you noticed in the E3 Direct Waluigi was used to show off the ability to KO Assist Trophies? Or how in the recent Direct there was a purple and yellow chair behind Sakurai? No small detail is left alone by this man, and based on the Dedede bamboozle it seems like Sakurai is a master troll who I believe is trolling us with little tidbits of the tall, lanky, and purple powerhouse himself.
Hyperencrpted12345 K. Rool was one of the most popular picks in Japan though. Ridley, however, was only really popular in the west so you're right about that.
ok troll
Also, Hes a the 2nd Western Character in the entire roster. First being Diddy. Because Rare Ware a British company devopled Diddy and Krool for Dkc 1
He's actually the third, Dark Samus was created by Americans.
VipeurMiste Oh wow, Never knew that. Well the more you know Ig xD
No, Mac is an American and isn't a very popular character in Japan, but he's still created by the Japanese.
Jesus People That think K Rool is owned by MIcrosoft are making me lose Brain cells He and all donkey kong assets belong to Nintendo.
The casual gamer knows King. K Rool A LOT more than they know Earthbound or FE characters.
Principal Skinner Debatable
Depends on where you live. Those games are a lot more popular in Japan than the Americas.
So there’s hope for Banjo
not likely, but we can dream
Arent nintendo and xbox in good terms right now ? I think theres a chance
If it happened, I'd shit and shit and shit
Well, Nintendo had to go through Microsoft to get K. Rool, so it is possible. If anything, I'm a tad surprised that they went with K. Rool instead of Banjo, who was also heavily requested (And Microsoft has said they would be more than willing to work with Nintendo if they wanted Banjo in Smash).
BubblegumSempai you didn't saw the video.
All characters from Donkey Kong series, belong to Nintendo.
I mean since Cloud was confirmed that means that Nintendo may have good enough relations with Square Enix to bring Geno into the game.
Collin Douglas well that’s possible.
Collin Douglas I want Sora more then Geno. Also Sora has a bigger possiblity to be in smash then Geno due to his popularity growing, new game in a 6 months, and many possible move sets.
Storm Break Sora has less of a chance than Geno because one, Sakurai has stated in an interview that he himself wanted Geno playable since Brawl, and two, Nintendo would have to go to _Disney_ , not Square Enix for licensing rights to Sora, which is way more insane, and probably a lot more stressful and expensive than any of the other third parties since Disney is such a huge mega corp.
TSGR smh
Storm Break Over what, the truth? Everything I stated is true, I just can’t realistically see Nintendo approaching Disney to ask for Sora. Not to mention, Nintendo still has that deal with Universal Studios for theme parks, so it’d also be highly inappropriate from a business standpoint.
*He talks about how much Nintendo's listening to fo fans*
Everyone else: *WHERS MAH WALOOGIJEE*
Nintendo's listening to them, too. And appropriately ignoring them.
MINIONSSSSSSS REE
WAHAHAHA!
Ec-fucking-xactly
I want more Earthbound characters. (Specifically Pokey/Porky, Jeff and Poo/Pu.)
I still personally think pac man is a bigger deal
For third party characters yes
Just In Gaming I mean it’s kinda the better equivalent of duck hunt so I don’t see why it’s a big deal. Retro characters are getting spotlight and that probably means more will too. ( if that’s what your suggesting )
What about MegaMan
I want Porky Minch so bad. He would be a heavyweight due to the spider mech and move somewhat fast since he moved before Ness during his fight in Earthbound.
#supersluggers if you have played MARIO super sluggers
That’s one of my favorite games ever
I did I love playing it with friends
#supersluggers I remember when I first unlocked him, and I was so friggin' happy to see him again. Then, when King K. Rool first went up to bat against me when I played Exhibition, he knocked out a home run, despite my attempt to get a Baby Mario/Baby Luigi jump grab. I was not even mad.
#SuperSluggers Sports games aren't my thing but I make an exception for mario sports games!
Death Night The game never came out in Europe.
K Rool is the best
Yep, super excited to play as him
SuperToad Brandon CAN'T WAIT FOR RIDLEY VS K ROOL
This is the best game ever because Sakurai listens to fans. The only things I still want in the game is a story mode and Bandana Dee as a playable character. They both have a lot of evidence fo being in the game.
Xavi Kortekaas but why?
Hunted_Man Story mode is highly requested and Bandana Dee is also highly requested and he has evidence in his amiibo
Xavi Kortekaas you might bite yourself for saying that. If he listens to the fans completely, it's only a matter of time before we get goku and shrek
사이 The demand for Shrek and Goku aren't as high as Bandana Dee or Shantea
Xavi Kortekaas goku, mickey mouse, or naruto was probably #1 on the ballot. Only a small percentage of hardcore speculators know the characters you named
the moves weve seen K Rool have in the trailer in my opinion are the most accurate to the original source than any character ive seen in such a long time, every one of his moves is canon to his appearances in the games. it was great to see, oldschool DK games are a timeless treasure
0:43
YOU THOUGHT I WAS KING K ROOL!
BUT NO! IT WAS ME! KING DEDEDE!
*Gets backhanded out of existance*
kono dio da!
NanI??!?!
Donkey Kong: LE PENGUIN IN ZE JUNGA?
Well said. History in the making for our favorite crocodile king 😁
Alpha Stoutland Isn't he an alligator?
Its_Elkku Whatever, he is a Kremlin!
Alpha Stoutland K rool is the king of kremlins its like bowser is the king of koopas.
"Nintendo didn't want him in Tropical Freeze" I mean Retro Studios developed the game, and while Nintendo certainly had to approve stuff it ultimately wasn't their call on disallowing his use in the game
Planner Alex retro just wanted to show they could make villains
I don't think Sakurai is necessarily giving the fans the choice, which is what people are making it seem like. These characters were extremely popular in the ballot and so was bayonetta but she was added before the ballot was over. So maybe these characters were always planned for the next game. It seems like Sakurai is still doing what he wants with his game but that is the only way we would love it, and it is why Sakurai does not want to give the franchise to anybody else, including the fans.
@ndv diaz That doesn't explain the addition of two new Metroid representatives. Metroid isn't all that popular in Japan, so it was pretty much exclusively western audiences demanding them.
Hooray for King K. Rool! Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 were very near and dear to my heart in the 90s. I'm really glad for his representation in Smash Bros., he deserves it.
The really important character that joined would be Sonic
Death_Nyan I disagree
King K. Rool is looking sexy
MP Studios T. H. I. C. C
YES!!!! My favorite Villain is back!
What about Waluigi?
Isaac Andrzejewski
Not a villain. Just a rival, minor antagonist
No hes the main villian in some game i forgot the name though
So we're on a trend for villains being added. I'd kill for either Porky or Claus but I know they're chances are very low BUT I CAN DREAM
Pooorky Minch is a needed villain.
what about a ninten echo? I would CRY.
At the very least a Duster assist trophy.
Haltmann as Bowser Jr. Echo
This is a joke.
Claus would be a perfect echo for Lucas, or if you’re taking about Masked Claus then he can be a new viable character.
Simon Belmont is also a Nintendo ver. Hes third party NOW yeah but he was a Nintendo character.
Sadly my hopes for Bomberman got crushed when he was revealed as a assist trophy, now i just want Takumi or Hector^^
I hope this isn't the last of putting in the villans/anti-heroes. There is still more villains/anti-heroes that we need. I want them to put in Shadow the Hedgehog (as an echo fighter to sonic or playable in his move-set), Dr. Eggman, Waluigi (He needs attention now (show us that Waluigi as an assist trophy was a troll and he's a character in Ultimate!!!), and Hades, Medusa, or Viridi (as an echo fighter to Palutena (whoever comes first)).
I personally don’t think that eggman is nessesary however I completely agree with the rest of them
I actually like waluigi and hate to see all of the hate for him
Sephirot and FE antagonists
hate to break it to you, but waluigi isn't a troll. if it was a troll, sakurai would've showed him as a character in the same direct he was released as an assist trophy. begging for him isn't gonna change him, they are basically done with the game and so there is no hope left for him as a character in smash 5.
Paul Verdi pretty sure sonic isnt owned by nintendo
What's next Blanc from Neptunia in Smash?
Tosmasta00 Neptune is getting her first game on a Nintendo system
Tosmasta00 This would be the weirdest thing but i’d be alright with it.
Tosmasta00 I wouldn't mind
Ya hearin' this Retro?
Retro would need Microsoft's approval. Nintendo and Microsoft are on pretty friendly terms right now, so it's possible, but they do still have to go through them.
No they don't all characters from Donkey Kong are owned solely by Nintendo while it is true many Donkey Kong characters were made by Rare, Nintendo has the rights to all of them, as a matter of fact they just renewed K. Rool's recently.
BubblegumSempai Microsoft doesn’t own anything from the dk series
When Rare was bought by Microsoft, Nintendo retained ownership of all assets created for first-party franchises (which is also why they used Krystal and other Dinosaur Planet references in future Star Fox games.)
RandomGamer95 would be really cool to see an exclusive for xbox and switch. Would be pretty revolutionary for the gaming industry for a first party game to allow another console to also have it as an exclusive.
Geno, the last character, will be reveled near the release of the game
My mom told me and she works at KFC.
Bleep blop yeah!
omg me and everyone would go nutss
So this means we get geno and waluigi right?
At 2:58, the video keeps activating my phones "OK Google" feature. What the heck
So if newcomers are based on fans / ballot... Who is next?? Geno?? Shadow?? Shanta?? Banjo & Kazooie?? Give me your ideas please!
AlexFroste800 crash bandicoot
Shadow pleaseee
AlexFroste800 Shadow and Shantae.
I'm still not fully positive Square would give full creative control for Geno since they still won't let Sakurai use more than 2 Final Fantasy songs.
Isaac/Matthew? that's where my hope lies at least
^^^^
In terms of villian heavyweights i really want Petey Pirahna or Black Bull
If you're talking about the F-Zero villain, then I agree. But his name is Black Shadow. The machine he rides in is the Black Bull. Which would probably be his Final Smash. Even if he wasn't an echo.
That would be super neat, I'd like that too. Sadly, Petey Piranha is probably in the same category as Waluigi, given that he was a side character in one of the Mario sports titles.
Wingus Dingus Petey does have many boss fights thoug, and his big head is great for generic normal attacks
We can agree that KKR has a damn good theme remix
Boi look at Etika’s latest video. That will change your perception
Ever heard of rare? You spoke nothing of them.
The rights to Donkey Kong got bought back from Rare when Rare got taken over by Microsoft. And that was DESPITE the Kremlings (except for King K.Rool apparently) being taken by Rare, and Microsoft by proxy. The main reason that K.Rool and the Kremlings weren't in Tropical Freeze was because of Rare's bankruptcy and subsequent takeover.
It's beyond irritating because honestly most of these youtubers probably didnt know shit about Ridley or King K. Rool prior to this smh
I'd seriously doubt that when they were consistently a top pick for the Smash Fighter ballot and polls on who should be included. I mean, who'd vote for a character they know nothing about? It's more than likely that a significant majority of people who knew who K. Rool and Ridley are.
Donkey Kong Country: K. Rool's Return
Paul Novacek K.Rool Strikes back
Jesse Dohmen K Rool Strikes [Dedede in the] Back [of the head]
I find your lack of proper Kharatization disturbing (yes I spelt it like that on purpose)
it should be Donkey Kong Country: K. Rool's Komeback (cause we all know he loves doing that for some reason)
Ah, my mistake then. Thank you for Korrecting me.
Ahem, no. Donkey Kong Kountry: K. Rool's Revenge (or Komeback is good enough)
Just goes to show the fans influence in decision making!
Yep, very happy about it :D
is this video for babies? sorry but this information is just common sense given his announcement, really didn't learn anything here
What is the name of the song in your intro I tried remembering the name but can’t think of it
Do you think K Rool's final smash revealed DK Island as a stage?
Well said, Siiroth! :) I agree, I actually didn't think the Kremling King would ever become a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. (even though he has so many movesets that would work perfectly for the series' gameplay style), mainly because he hasn't been the main antagonist in a Donkey Kong game in over a decade (but, when you really think about it, Simon Belmont hasn't appeared in a Castlevania game in almost 10 years, yet, he was just announced as a playable fighter too, which is fantastic), however, I'm really happy that I (and many others) was proven wrong, and man, oh, man, did they make King K. Rool look menacing?! I was honestly pretty terrified with the way he was introduced, and watching him run after DK, and Diddy... In fact, just watching his reveal trailer again in your video made me about as horrified as Luigi was in Simon Belmont's reveal trailer! XD But anyway, it's great to have not only another villain added to the roster, but a heavyweight too, and K. Rool looks like he's gonna be an amazing heavy fighter too! :D Now let's just hope that a new Donkey Kong Country game (or any Donkey Kong game for that matter) is currently in development!
Kingnewcomer Who do you think would read all that?
Sorry, I guess I got a bit carried away... :P Still excited though. I made it a bit shorter, so hopefully, it's better.
Sorry for making it so long... I got a bit carried away...
-Paragraphs-
sorry
After seeing K. Rool in smash ultimate he should be in a new DK game and be as a playable character in Mario kart 9.
I feel it King k rool is gonna be like the character everyone wanted but nobody plays him.
I’ll play him, I was one of the main spastic retards crying for him, so I’ll man up and actually try to play him
Automatically gonna play and main the heck out of him.
Don't care if low tier, trash tier, nerfed, bad, etc. I begged for his arrival for the longest time, now that he's here, i'm going to get my patience's worth.
bitch werent you wrong
His inclusion is solely due to demand. He is irrelevent, and Nintendo didnt include him in the past because of it.
1:25 was that an reference to that Dr. Suess book "Hop on Pop?"
I’ve had super Mario sluggers for a long time and I agree, it’s one of my favorite games of all time!
Amen
Geno will be next
Nobody hopefully
Sadly, Nintendo does not own Geno. Square Enix does, and I'm not sure if they want to let him be used again.
Mr. Shades (KryptojackJr) final fantasy?
I think I remember hearing somewhere that Geno is a special case or something.
Mr. Shades (KryptojackJr) geno will happen trust me
I LOVE DK64 so I'm amazingly happy the final smash is based off it!!!! DK64 is probably easily my 2nd favorite game ever
Geometry Dash?
Exotic Flame ye
How does this have so many views? Strange. It’s been out for a day and there are more views than most of his videos
Because darkest dungeon is on the switch can they team up with red hook to add the ancestor to smash so I can spam quotes
I still dont get why people want waluigi. Waluigi would be just another troll
He is goofy, anoying, not funny and doesn't even have a reliable moveset. He is not even important to the series he is from. He only appears in Spin offs and isnt even important there. Wario is the closest character to him but as far as I know waluigi doesn't even appear or get refered in Wario Ware.
Now what fans? Do you guys have any reliable arguments besides fanboyism???? I doubt that. Its not that I hate waluigi, if he was in I wont even mind BUT it wont make any sense and would be unfair for other better characters so stop being ungrateful cause this game is awesome with or without waluigi. Sakurai did an awesome job on this. At least he friggin appears as assist trophy god damn it! Think of the characters or series that dont even get mentioned.
Right on the money! You literally took the words out of my mouth. Waluigi trolls need to stop.
I mean, most people have been asking for a Waluigi game for a WHILE now. They haven't made one cuz Nintendo has a weird aversion to Waluigi. Honestly, having him playable in this would actually push Nintendo to actually make a game where Waluigi plays a major role. I mean, come on, he's only ever been a villian legitimately in the freaking Mario DDR game.
L G Nintendo acknowledged that Waluigi doesn't deserve a spot and that wont be justified just by a aversion. Sakurai probably ended up reaching the same conclusion as me. You got it wrong, its not smash wich will introduce more characters on it to provide more popularity to them. Those characters are the ones who must be shown to be worthy before being accepted. And Waluigi has never shown that even with the fans suport. I mean he lacks at moveset as well you know... Sakurai would be pushing Waluigi a lot to put him as a playable. Wich seems that wont be happening. His personallity is not even good and he tries to be funny but he's not. There isn't any reason to me to give him more attention while other characters definitly deserve it more and have more of a role on their games. Nintendo has been listening to the fans as the last direct proved. If Waluigi is THAT requested as you say then it wont be just a little aversion stoping him.
it's for the memes, ok? He's not a significant character for nintendo but in the meme world he IS
Twenty 20 lol 😅
I want Petey Pirh.
I just want Issac. Please.
Akira Himura - Issac? Who’s that?
The Michael
Main protagonist from Golden Sun. The original.
Definitely one of my most requested characters!! So happy.
People need to understand that Microsoft or rare does not own ANYTHING from the DK series
Geno and Issac from Golden Sun
Cerrome Afrocanus Isaac moves the competition! 🤚
Metroid is the first series in Smash to have more villains than heroes. Did anyone notice?
Is that a real girl? Humm I dont consider meta knight a villain. Just a rival but he has a sense of justice
+Rui Roberto Bowser, his son, and the Koopalings are villains
Queen Sectonia The koopalings are all implemented in one character and yes I recognize they are different, but not in smash. Just skins. That would be like saying dark samus was playable all The time as a samus skin but its still not really dark samus
Zero Suit Samus also is a different slot than normal Samus. So 2 characters are villains and 2 characters are heroes.
Rui Ribeiro Sakurai (a.k.a. creator of kirby) show in the king k rool annoucement kirby vs meta knight, comfirming that meta knight is a villain
Rayman or Sora would be good.
Shnobbs Studios Sora is VERY unlikely
elemomnialpha its funny
elemomnialpha that's what we think until they do it. And we lose our minds. Sora, and I can't show bias because I didn't play his game, Sora is largely requested.
His games are on nintendo, promotion and cloud is evidence in cooperation
Asanagia Sora is owned by Disney not Square, and Nintendo is currently working with their competition Universal for their theme park.
Disney has shown no sign of cooperation as the Disney Afternoon collection is not and still shows no signs of coming to the Switch
Do you think DISNEY is going to give up creative freedom for Sakurai to add him to the game?
He's not impossible per se but incredibly unlikely
I think Sora will be the one to surprise us all, KH3 is coming out the following month of smush so he could totally be DLC at the very least.
Just a speculation but there'll probably be a multiple of 4 more new characters. If you look at the elimination mode then including krool there ends with an exact multiple of four for every character on the roster so they'd want to make it so it stays that way right? So if the 4 people are playing nobody loses out by the time the game has finished. Maybe (and this is a huge maybe because i dont know if the math will add up) they'll make the ending roster a multiple of 2, 3 and 4 so that it breaks up evenly for people who want to play this mode.
Laddie Porter
I’m so happy he's finally been revived and is in Smash. As for the next Donkey Kong game. At this point i’m optimistic he’ll make it in. Sakurai admitted that he added K Rool due to him topping most of the polls/Smash Ballot which is basically Nintendo acknowledging the fan demand for King K Rool. Plus hell he’s Donkey Kong’s #1 adversary. He is DK’s own Bowser. He HAS to be in the next DK game
Especially if Retro isn’t doing it. Retro seem to dislike K Rool and the Kremling Krew seeing as they completely ignored K Rool and the Kremlings in both of their DK games
There's still hope for Isaac and Geno in Smash Ultimate!!!
1MIKE Isaac moves the competition! 🤚
VorpalBender Yes Man! I'm hoping that Next direct we see his Reveal Trailer!
I’ve been waiting 17 years to play as Isaac in Smash Bros, dude! And also, Geno is my most wanted 3rd party character, so I’ll be excited if he gets in as well!
Fingers crossed, man! 🤞
1MIKE wait, as Isaac from Golden Sun?
Idk who those are
Mario Super Sluggers is an amazing game!!
I've been one of those people desperate for K.Rool to be in Smash, and for him to return to the DK games, so one down, one to go! So excited to make the King one of my mains!!
I hope K.Rool is actually viable. I want to try him out so badly, but his sluggish attacks scare me a bit.
JustAnotherGamer hopefully. I really like heavy weight characters, but I don't play competitively though, so I really hope he's good for the competitive people that wanted him
Next up? Shadow the hedgehog
Clueless Lawdamercy Ruthless His Final Smash would be looking for that damn fourth Chaos Emerald.
Pedro Gonzales knuckles is already an assist trophy. Would you rather have tails?
Pedro Gonzales blaze the cat?
Well they wouldn't have taken him out for knuckles unless they had a plan for it
Domo low_lit would you prefer big the cat? Or robotnik?
Honestly, I'd much rather iconic videogame characters.
Give me Bomberman or Spyro or Crash Bandicoot!
Or Indie characters that have changed the gaming landscape like Shovel Knight!
Hell, Microsoft and Nintendo are besties right now... What about Banjo Kazooie?
Was everything on the wii-u just a beta version of all the games?
Ganandorf deserves to be completely decloned from C.Falcon... THAT would be the most important addition.
Well he kinda is with..you knnow...his sword.
Jam-frog35
Sword moves that are copied from Cloud and Ike, even with those he still has way too many C.Falcon moves still.
Its kinda difficult to make an original moveset at this point WITHOUT accidentally takeing moves from others. Look at sonic alot of his moves copy from other fighters.
(Except from his spindash attacks which is just spinning...)
For all intensive purposes, ganon *IS* decloned.
Spectre
Are you serious?
King K. Rool has been in, what... 4 (non- spinoff) Donkey Kong games as the main villain? And he got his own moves.
Ganandorf has more than enough games to pull from.
Ocarina of Time has the ground pound, and orb projectiles, and levitate which can replace the C.Falcon cloned special moves: Neutral B, Up B, and Down B.
Those are obvious additions... especially when you GO BACK to OoT Ganondorf model.
As for his normals, Ganondorf is a sorcerer that knows how to fight with melee weapons (swords/spears), you're telling me that they can't form a unique moveset around that?
My dude, have you played Legend of Zelda?
He shouldn't have ANY C.Falcon moves, not with all the source behind him.
Yes I have played legend of zelda,
Not your game, not your call.
Sakurai mustve kept ganons moveset the same from a dev standpoint. Just easier to keep with a few changes. Thats why the other semi clones haveny changed much. (I.e. dr mario, roy, young link etc...)
They gave kkr his own more personal one due to him being new and having a blank slate.
Just be glad ganon isnt JUST a falcon clone with the EXACT same moves as before.
Certainly better than the last games.
Just because a character HAS moves from their own games doesnt automatically mean thats what they will be.
I see so many people going nuts about k. rool and I'm just like "who dafuq is King K. Rool?"
Miffed Narwhal Old Donkey Kong Villian. Rules over those crocodile guys from Smash 4
Pedro Gonzales no shit sherlock
It’s an apology for no waluigi
It’s been a few months and I’m still shaking with hype!
So are all the characters revealed or do they still have a few characters to introduce? I’m hoping for a new Pokémon character(s). Please confirm.
I did not want this character in Smash Ultimate.
-please,don’t kill me-
SoloBeans me neither
Well tough sh*t then? \_(:v)_/
SoloBeans I did, to shut people up
Agreed. Was kinda hoping we’d get more third party fighters.
Was also hoping we could get some type of Octopath Assist or something given it’s recent popularity.
Exactly! If i could id replace him with waluigi
So how bout my boy Sora?
Logan Harrison he's locked in the Disney vault
elemomnialpha I can see Sakurai working his magic. I don’t think he’ll get in but I don’t think we can count him out
Logan Harrison y
I hope shadow gets added next or as dlc
King K Rool is a character I've been lobbying for since Melee; glad to see him finally make it. When I was playing Smash Bros on the Wii U, I decided to try the Smash Tour and while it was quite boring, the one aspect I liked was at the end where you could fight as all the character you acquired throughout the game. I was hoping that they would make a mode where you could have 3-5 stock lives and each life would be a different character; Glad to see they implemented that as well, but I don't see anyone talking about it and nobody seems to be as excited about it as I am.
It may look like they’re listening in the moment, but of course, they could’ve just chosen characters from the Fighter Ballot for real. Bayonetta was planned for Smash 4 before the ballot even dropped and it did say that the ballot may be used for future installments.
Waluigi demand rate raised 1000%
Saying its the most important thing in smash history is a stretch, Nintendo has always listened to fans and one thing that is probably more Important is when they brought in snake for the first time
My only character request is...
Shadow The Hedgehog.
The video didn't touch on any of the reasons why this is significant. From the departure or Rare to dk's history. In reality, that's kinda what i was expecting from this instead of "hur dur oh yeah, us hardcore nintendo fans" i feel like there was some valid intention behind this video but it never got there
3:50 King K. Rool actually is fast from recent gameplay that has been shown. This is true to his boss battle in the first DKC where he charges at the Kongs and progressively gets faster as he takes more hits.
Actually, the last game he appeared on was Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, since Super Sluggers released June 19th and Barrel Blast released June 28th
Fun fact! Retro Studios actually wanted to incorporate K. Rool in the Switch port of DKCTF, but they got turned down because Sakurai had already had first dibs on properly reviving him via Smash Ultimate. I'm personally glad his glorious return was through Smash as it would sort of dampen the hype if he was already the secret final boss of a port of a Wii U game a few months earlier in 2018
I know this about Super Smash Bros. But seeing Nintendo listen to SSB fans gives me hope for the Paper Mario Series.
i really hope that they include Geno from super mario rpg
he's also REALLY highly requested, and, similar to King K Rool, he has a DLC mii costume
plus, it'd be his first game in 20 YEARS
1:37 this cinematic doesn't say "doesn't include actual gameplay footage". The green mode is a story mode confirmed?????? Nah probably not.
