New Character: King K. Rool

[Shrikeswind]

Only one move here isn't a King move, it's more based on Krusha Rool than King. And, though I own the site, I want to start up the submission boards, too, so I'll also be posting a character in third-party.

Name: King K. Rool
Game: Donkey Kong Country
Moves

Up-B: Krunch Punch
B: Krown Boomerang
Side-B: Krazy Dash
Down-B: Krush Jump
Extreme: Kannon Blast

"Krunch Punch" is a clone of Mario's Super Jump Punch.

"Krown Boomerang" has King K. Rool throw his crown out like a boomerang. Unlike Link's, he can't control the crown in any way and can't move while it's going, but he can't be hurt while the crown is away. Does 10 damage.

"Krazy Dash" has King K. Rool run along at a range equal to Fox's Illusion, hitting anyone in his way for 15. May cause burial.

"Krush Jump" is a clone of Bowser's Bowser Bomb, except that Rool lands feet first.

EXTREME! You know, I gotta stop doing that. King K. Rool jumps in the air and off-screen when "Kannon Blast" is in effect. You can't see him, obviously. Then, as he lands, cannon-balls fall from the sky right between where he was and where he lands. Getting hit by one cannon-ball deals 10 damage and flings the victim in range of the next ball (trust me, there are plenty). It has little knock-back, outside of dragging the victim to King K. Rool's new side, but it deals heavy damage.

Taunt: Turns his head to the screen, grinning maniacally.

Stats

Speed: 1/5
Power: 5/5
Jump: 1/5
Fall: 5/5
Size: 5/5
Weight: 5/5
Traction: 3/5

Yeah, his stats are almost the exact same as Bowser's.

Meh. Okay. I dont really like it that much.

[Kriven]

I think it needs new attacks...

[Shrikeswind]

How so, I'm curious?

[Kriven]

He just seems like a mega-clone to me...

[Shrikeswind]

Only two, and the other pair are only being compared to other moves for the sake of description (removing the Extreme, in which is rather challenging to compare with.)

[Ansur]

So so

*bumps*

I don't like Up + B, Forward + B, or Down + B. I know the jetpack from DKC3 won't work here since he's wearing a cape, but I don't have anything against his weapon from DKC2. He always was a pirate, just not dressed as one unlike "Kaptain K. Rool". The fact that he'd use cannonballs as his Final Smash supports the use of his weapon.

I guess the Final Smash is perfect.

About his look in SSB, I realized something yesterday: if he does make it as a playable character, he'll probably have to be shrunk a little! Remember that DK is already large, and K. Rool is larger.

This is almost a year old and you bumped it.....

Quiet. Shrikeswind will scold me if he deems it wrong.

And while you're at it, ask him why it's not on the site after one year . Via PMs please.

You are permitted to bump a thread, dispite the age, if you have something relevent to contribute.

[Shrikeswind]

Which he did.

Anyways, since DK's listed at 9, Rool would be able to hit 10 with Bowser. As for attacks, well, give me something for the Up and Down. I like the idea of the gun from DKC2, and the cartoony style of the gun (remember that it does that cartoony charring when it backfires) makes it available. As a Side-B, I'd say it's good.

[Phinos]

The Extreme is pretty cool!! As for the other moves, I like Krush Jump and Krown Boomerang, but I can't imagine the heavy K-Rool performing Krazy Dash or Krunch Punch, which both seem to require a but of speed and agility...

[Shrikeswind]

Surprisingly, he did Krazy Dash in DKC1. On the first round, he would charge the monkeys after catching the crown. I never said it was particularly fast.

[Phinos]

Oh, OK then! I never played DK1, actually... If that move was in the game, I can't do anything but approve of it!!
