Video: 'Smashified' Series Adds King K. Rool to the Collection of Super Smash Bros. Speed Paintings

I really hope King K. Rool makes it as DLC. He's my most wanted choice by far and I would definitely main him.

I'm still hoping they'll make a render for Isaac from Golden Sun.

Overall I hope to see them make more renders of Nintendo characters.

It's just a morbidly obese naked crocodile.

Certainly my #1 choice. I'd also like to see my #2, Dixie Kong.

@Dizzard

Yea that would be amazing. This render is my favourite out of all Artsy Omni renders, in my opinion and would love for Isaac to be added to the Smashified series. You could tweet with @Smashified (or was it #Smashified) to add a request for Isaac

I did ask Artsy Omni on Smashboards as well though. Along with the rest of the Isaac fans.

Edit: We can probably expect him. Seeing Isaac's latest surge in popularity (he came 2nd in a Reddit poll, after Banjo Kazooie and BEFORE K. Rool), I think he is pretty high up there in demand for a Smashified render.

K. Rool has always been on my wish list to be in Smash, partly due to the fact that I grew up with the DKC Trilogy.

I've always liked the idea of K. Rool in Smash, but after seeing this I'm definitely obsessed with the idea.

I would like to point out that speeding up a video of someone painting doesn't make the end result a speed painting.

A speed painting is when an artist sets a time limit he has to work within, often less than an hour, and achieves as much as he can within that frame, typically attempting to find ways of speeding up his work process.

/grumpy old man

That painting is certainly nicer than the old renders of K. Rool from the 90s. It's good enough to almost make me want K. Rool in Smash.

@thesilverbrick In contrast, I've been against the idea of K. Rool in Smash because people mostly want him in solely because "Smash Bros. needs more villains," not to mention his bland design. After this video, I'm warming up to the idea.

I would take Captain K. Rool over King K. Rool any day of the week.

Um... Where is his underwear from Mario Baseball, hence his original name Big Diapy

@allav866 I would like to see more villains, personally, but I agree that characters shouldn't arbitrarily be added simply because we "need more villains." K. Rool has appeared in enough games alongside Donkey Kong to warrant an inclusion (though not recently, which is a bit disconcerting...).

The overwhelming support for this character baffles me...he's just so boring and generic-looking.

@GeminiSaint Personally, I'd love to see his Kaptain and Baron K. Roolenstein outfits as alternate costumes.

Never was too big a fan of this character, but the artwork is awesome, and he would nonetheless be a welcome addition to Smash. Personally I'd rather see Ryu or Kazuya Mishima in Smash.

I would rather have Ripley but we all know that's not happening. Smash needs more heavy characters!

Smash needs more villains! Smash needs more Metroid! Smash needs more badass! Vote for Dark Samus! Vote for Dark Samus! For the love of god, vote for freakin' Dark Samus!!!

how about Quote from cave story his great

Awesome! K Rool would be a great fighter. But I am still hoping for Isaac!

@Dolphin64

Its already Samus's color swap. And why would anyone want a samus clone?

You know what would be nice? If he was actually in...please let him get in, please let him get in, please let him get in, please let him get in!

K.Rool and the Kremlings would make an instant best seller. Why? Because he is an decent looking character compared to all the junk that was made recently.

Also if somebody wants to challenge me to
do some "photoshop" art etc, image character stand alone, please do so. I dare you I double dare you. Because honestly this is stuff learned in Photoshop class and after constant using of photoshop and other related or unrelated programs.

Also these paintings, are not speed but the camera is taking photos by photos of what they guy is doing.

The brush work of the scales is impossible by normal human means, ( while it could be done in real life ( requires a bit more effort )
then an computer setup.

In fact you know.....see my post in the art forum/thread

@fastsonicboy I support this and Kumatora.

King K. Rool is probably my top newcomer choice for DLC other than the Inkling. Excellent art of him, by the way.

If he does make it in, I hope they bring back his tail along with a bigger crown.

K.Rool sucks! Stupid name and no personality! Let's see some cool old characters like Earthworm Jim or BIONIC COMMANDO. Waluigi or Ryu would also be sweet!

@JellySplat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG2L-3cZLsY
Watch it, watch it now! I command you mortal! And see if you have any changed opinions! It is not impossible and out of the question to convert an assist trophy into a fighter! Hype buildup 1000%! Anyone who sees this comment, click on that link and watch the video! There will be no regrets!

Now if they can make a King k look similar to this piece of fan art ( http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs27/f/2008/041/2/f/COMMISSION__K__Rool_Again_by_TheBlackMarket.jpg ) I'll be happy.

@JellySplat Better than a Link or Pit clone.

At least Dark Samus has her own abilities (Phazon-powered attacks) that don't mimic Samus' beams or missiles in any way.

@beautifulstrong doesn't want K. Rool because he "has a stupid name and no personality" but wants Bionic Commando and Waluigi... whole new level of stupid

@Dolphin64 @JellySplat Dark Samus wouldn't play anything like Samus. The only thing the two have in common is their relative shape. I mean, Dark Samus floats through the air and never touches the ground, for crying out loud. If you've played the Prime Trilogy, think back to the boss fights and you'll remember she (or really it, since it's just a Metroid that stole the Phazon Suit's shell) used bizarre abilities that Samus never had (as you can even see in her Assist Trophy).
Besides, she's far more imaginative than Dark Pit or Dr. Mario.

WHY? I DON"T SEE ANY APPEAL IN HIM. I'm sorry for having a different opinion but honestly he is so obscure, and honestly is sore on the eyes! Characters are usually "cool" "cute" or something in between, this is neither!

Oh please yes. There is no character more deserving for that DLC treatment than this guy right here.

@JellySplat @thesilverbrick @LightSuitGuy If they included DS, she would be my main. And many other people agree too, so let's make a petition! Either that or everyone go on SmashBallot and vote for DS multiple times! We need more villains, we need more Metroid characters, we need more badass characters, and I am playing MP2! Nobody ever sees that it makes PERFECT sense! In Melee, Young Link was included, and he only had 2 games! Dark Samus also had 2 games with a secret cutscene in the first MP, AND if done right, she wouldn't be a clone! So who's with me?!

@luckybreak cool or cute? It's about deserving a spot on the roster. K. Rool was a major role in 4 of the biggest, most successful DK games. He's earned his right. Being in smash isn't for appearance, its for their role in the franchises they represent. If you want cool or cute you're playing the wrong game

@Dolphin64 yeah sorry for my ignorance. I never played MP.

Let's jot forget though, that she is already an assist trophy, which means her getting in the game as a playable fighter is extremely unlikely.

@JellySplat Unlikely, but far from impossible! And if you never played the Trilogy you're seriously missing out. (Aside from Corruption.) They're cheap nowadays too! Also, quit being so damn negative about her not getting in, it doesn't help the odds.

@Dolphin64

I've tried the games, and I don't like them. Not trying to be Mr. Danny-downer or anything, but she isn't going to get in. Samus already has the color swap, and Dark Samus is already an assist trophy. I think it would be awesome too! But its simply not going to happen. Besides, Banjo-Kazooie, Shovel Knight, King K. Rool, or Isaac would be so much more deserving of that slot!

Stop being so damn optimistic.

@Dolphin64

I really like your icon BTW. Not trying to sound angry with you, just holding my own.

@JellySplat Thank you very much, I made it from scratch in Flipnote Studio 3D, and yours is nice too.

Also, you sound a little hypocritical as Banjo-Kazooie is Rare property, and has only starred in 2 games, whereas Dark Samus is Nintendo property, and has starred in 3. Let's also keep in mind though, that Smash DESPERATELY needs more Metroid characters and Dark Samus would be a perfect choice that many would appeal to. And just WHO is Isaac?

@Dolphin64

Your argument is not without holes, but it is valid.

Banjo has just as high a chance as anyone else, as the CEO of Microsoft said that he would like to see him in smash (Microsoft owned Rare, Rare owns Banjo-Kazooie). That alone gives him a pretty good chance. Isaac is a Nintendo/Camelot owned character, from the Golden Sun franchise. He appeared as an assist trophy in Brawl (so did little Mac) and he is an adept of Earth Psynergy (basically an Earthbender). If you like good RPGs, I highly recommend playing Golden Sun. Its one of the best!

@JellySplat Your argument has holes as well, but it too, is valid. And since both of us have good points in our arguments, I have one thing to say in that case; good talk, goodnight.

@Dolphin64

Indeed. And may the force be with you.

@JellySplat May the light of Aether guide your path.

@Dolphin64

Live long and prosper v('-')v

I like this, I can see him like the kinda character that doesn't do much fighting himself and let all his flunkies attack you. can you imagine a field full of buzzers and klaptraps and a special where he bombards players with cannon fire from his ship or something.

@Phantom_R Implying crocodiles normally wear clothes.

Very cool.

@Nintendo6400 Well check it out. Tell me what you think. Worth $500 dollars yes???

Scroll down until you see K.Rool and click.
@GeminiSaint well checkout my illustration I just did. It took me three days ( with breaks and other illustrations) to finish this.

@thesilverbrick I really wished K. Rool would have used the Pirate costume in the third game as an extra hidden boss or something. Like he just throws the labcoat off and it is back to DKC2 Michael Jackson badness.

@beautifulstrong EWJ was an popular item with videogamers back then but because they do not really do anything with him or the series ( asides for the Comics and artwork by Doug Tanaple ). Bionic Commando is also an problem as well. If you want variety then checkout Mugen.

WTF IS THAT!!
