I still can’t believe he’s in. Thank you based Sakurai

you didnt answer my question

he's a funny fat guy
people liked Chris Farley, I don't think people were rushing out in droves to fuck him
plus crocodiles and pirates are cool

He's one of my favorite inclusions, but at the same time, I didn't expect him, he is a very strange addition.

Reason being Donkey Kong is already seen as one of the bad guys of smash, he teamed up with Bowser in the first event match in smash 4 , plus he's kind of become obscure. Over the years Bowser and DK kind of became rivals in games like Mario Party. K. Rool is also huge compared to DK, even Ridley can at least be bigger than Samus but now Donkey Kong and King K. Rool are the same size in smash.

Basically when it seemed like all hope was gone for him and the kremlings, Sakurai of all people to revive him.

I’m mad sakurai

Now I know you're just shitposting

Marvel crossover is pretty much a given at this point desu.

based as fuck

DK being a villain is literally retarded and should be stopped, I hate how Nintendo is still trying to force this when no one actually sees him that way

That August Direct was nearly fucking perfect.

Wasn't Ridley on the righthand side of this image once?

Why the fuck would anyone want Geno in when Fawful is the superior Mario RPG representative?

wtf ridleybros i thought we were friends

10+ years of waiting has finally paid off

They're both meme characters, but Fawful literally talks like a meme.

genofag here and i'm utterly happy with k. rool, even if geno didn't get in

amazing how anti-genofags are the ones who bring him up and seethe way more than geno's actual fans
come on, as a k. rool fag, i hope anyone gets their most wanted and gets to experience the elation i did on 8.8

They all deserve it

K. Rool is the peak of masculinity.

>>Geno
No.

Yes

All these years after Brawl and I still don't get the Geno bandwagon. He's not even the same class of character as Ridley or King K. Rool.

how?

If they're stupid enough to have characters like Geno as their "most wanted" then they don't deserve anything.

I really wish K. Rool falling down and pretending to die was a taunt. Or, preferably, his belly counter could instead be him playing dead, and then striking back when hit?

Belly like that shows that he has more than enough means of taking care of himself.

I wish he had these animations in smash too but I'm content with how he is now

I'm not a fan of how he runs in Smash, and I think his jump animation would be cooler if it matched DKC's.
I don't have any room to complain, though. It's still fucking badass that he's in at all.

as a fan of geno, i honestly think he should make a return in the mario series before he gets into smash. the catch-22 is that square is rarely ever on-board for anything involving mario, and going out of their way to get his likeness for another game would be like pulling teeth. it's not lucrative for nintendo unless they come out with some sort of overarching agreement for the character, which i don't see happening ever. meanwhile, square is on board with smash, not to mention that brawl introduced the possibility of third parties. that gave people hope for geno to come back.

as for why? design's cool, concept's cool, nice lore potential, general potential that i feel was just squandered on. mallow got a lot of love in smrpg, but geno was a bit neglected. he could have been more, and i think he would have been if smrpg2 came to be. i just like his character. do i think he 'deserves' to be in smash? hell no, especially compared to other square enix reps, but i think the general consensus is that we just want to see our boy come back. it's just an unfortunate situation he's in, so it's not gonna happen. that said, even in my bias, i get why people don't understand the geno love. i really do.
also i think he's really cute.

>Nerfed in the very first patch
>Sakurai literally admitted the reason he was nerfed isn't because he was good, but because casual players struggle against him
It's only bittersweet

Barely nerfed, they just lowered his Blunderbuss suck time and the attack range of his recovery, which are both reasonable. He was pretty significantly buffed in 3.0.

And Fawful's personality is Penguin of Doom speak

Did you play the M&L? Fawful's a fairly nuanced character. A huge thing I like about him is his progression from Cackletta's toady in SSS to probably the most effective Mario RPG villain ever in BIS. SSS:Bowser's Minions shows he was planning to overthrow Cackletta when he realized that he was the only reason why she ever got as far as she did, and in BIS he is constantly three steps ahead of everyone else until he underestimates them in the final battle.

>*did you play the M&L games?
I am retarded.
