... He's saying that he doesn't like K. Rool because he seems like he's too similar to Bowser, just so DK can have an antagonist.

Someone actually relevant and important should get in.

Like, people still want him in even though it's been a while since he's been in a game. I think that says something.

Though at least a bit of the hype around him is effectively "DK deserves more reps!" and "We need more villains!" rather than any particular merits of K. Rool himself.

But ultimately, most characters have both positive and negative points towards their inclusion. And it's going to be up to the devs as to which side outweighs the other.

K Rool may not have appeared in a game in a while, but the fact that people on both sides of the Pacific are clamoring for his inclusion still stands.

I like how every character that isn't K. Rool never needs to have "merits" outside of "I and other people want this character." But for the kremling, he has to provide three different forms of identification and a valid mailing address to be considered, apparently.

I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -Wanderlustwarrior

I like him as a komedic enemy, and because he's got some nice moveset potential with stuff like his blunderbuss, propellor pack, and boxing skills.

If you truly believe that no other character has needed to "prove their worth", you've been really removed from the whole thing.

Little Mac was hardly that relevant when he got in. Yes, we did have the Wii game and Captain Rainbow but they weren't that recent by the time Smash 4 was being made. And even then, Duck Hunt had zero relevancy when Smash 4 was in development. Aside from his own Scrappy reputation on the internet.

Heck, not a whole lot of people even knew who Pit was before he got in Brawl.

And not a lot of people knew who Ness until Smash 64. And most people outside of Japan had no clue who Marth was until Melee. Same with Mr. Game and Watch and the Ice Climbers.

The argument usually given there is that those are base-game characters and that DLC characters need to sell, and thus have to be judged to different standards.

Of course, this doesn't apply to K. Rool and his nigh frothing fanbase, but that's the argument.

As far King K. Rool goes, how about finding a concept for him before you go into what he can use or cannot use for his potential moveset.

I think, considering his status as a Jack of All Trades via his odd identity crises, he could work as a sort of heavyweight with muted flaws and benefits of the sorts that weight class usually has. So strong, but not as strong as Dedede or Bowser or Ganondorf, a little slow between the windup to his attacks and the damage frames but not as much as those three, etc.

Would K Rool have a tail or be Inexplicably Tailless like he is sometimes?

King K. Rool would obviously be a Duck Hunt clone, guys.
