K. Rool will probably be back in one form or another-remember that the Kremlings are also back, so I don't see why K. Rool wouldn't be.

Speaking of K. Rool, this is an interesting video I found.

K. Rool can be argued to be in a similar position to Mega Man, who hasn't exactly been in the most favourable position. He of course still got in.

I do think he has a good chance. It's not as if he's been forgotten by the fans nor is he exactly some unimportant character in the DK series.

No, I mean in terms of relevancy not in terms of icon status. Neither of them got the best treatment in more recent years, with Mega Man missing out on both Mv C 3 and U Mv C 3 and having both of his games cancelled.

Semi-dumb question:

What would you say in response to getting a playable character representing... Style Savvy*?

*I have not played a game in the franchise, nor do I plan to.

K. Rool is on my list of characters who deserve most to get in, plus more villains is always a plus. I don't have a personal connection to him, but he's still cool.

I'm pretty sure every veteran from Brawl except Squirtle, Ivysaur, and maybe Snake are planned at the very least. The likes of Lucas or Wolf might end up on the cutting board if there are time constraints, but we won't know that till the game is out.

[up][up]I wouldn't be against some presence, but I think it's best suited to auxiliary elements like stickers and trophies.

[up]They've been developing this game since March of '13, and it was with a pretty huge team of devs compared to previous entries. Time constraints in regards to characters probably aren't a concern.

Yeah, he has potential. Not so much in terms of moveset, but in terms of character.

Say what now? I'd say that he's got a healthy amount of moveset potential. We've got his bounding leaps and crown toss and falling cannonballs from the first game, his jet-propelled, suction-capable, barrel/spiked cannonball/ghost-shooting blunderbuss from DKC 2, his propellor pack from DKC 3, and his various boxing tricks from DK 64, like thing where he throws his glove.

And he can turn invisible in some of the games, but that's not much of a trick for Smash.

[up][up]It's not like we're privy to every detail of the games' development. Yeah things seem to be running smoothly, and there's nothing like the SSE this time, but who knows. I would imagine Wolf and Lucas are some of the lower priority characters, but that's just me, and I'm on the side that says they'll be back.

If there's any justice regarding uniqueness in movesets, Falco will be more worried for his slot than Wolf.

Guess what? Sean Schemmel is voicing Lucario. It might not be the voice he uses in this game, but the last time he voiced Lucario, he sounded like this.

I can't tell which character looks more probably between Dixie and K. Rool, but I think K. Rool would be miles more interesting to play as. I'd be okay with Dixie though.

I'd rather play as Cranky. All of his attacks would be complaining about how games are too easy these days. Or he'd complain continuously through the battle regardless of what he's doing.

I figure he might complain about how hard they've been lately-"Rememberin' all the wrong things about the good ol' days!"

That... completely goes against what he's always ranted and raved about. He's always complained about how its getting too easy and the player gets more than what they need to play. Like fancy graphics. And extra lives. Or in this case, coming back after falling off platforms with little more than a slap on the wrist.

... That's a joke about the fact that the most recent DKC game had an entire ad amounting to "Tropical Freeze: It's really, REALLY HARD!"

That's why they needed to break Cranky out for that one.

I suspect Link won't be chosen, seeing how he has few if any changes and is consistently low tier.

The website explains how it will work.

"On the morning of the tournament, each player will draw a number from a hat, ranging from 1 through 16. Players will then pick characters one by one based on their numerical order starting with 1. After a character is chosen, they are no longer selectable by any other player. Players must keep the same character throughout the entire event."

Falco and Wolf is interesting, because Wolf's attacks are more unique from Fox compared to Falco's, but Falco's moves' properties have less in common with Fox than Wolf does. Fox and Wolf are both ground fighters while Falco, personally, prefers the air.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
