Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Origin of King K. Rool Moves & Animations

[@Mad_T3]

I can't believe him having super armor on some of his moves, something that everyone seems to hate, actually stays true to his character.

[@TheSharkAnt]

Also, I don't think anyone is complaining about it, I'm pretty sure they're just surprised to see it. Maybe I'm wrong.

Which videogame endboss doesn't have some kind of super armor?

3:40 King k rool Having super armor BEFORE super armor even existed

[@TheK10Experience]

Nanda I Kadek that’s called a hit box

[@ArylBarrel]

kaden hankey ye lol

[@TheK10Experience]

Nanda I Kadek that’s not even super armor nor a hit box (my mistake) super armor is when the moves connect when they bounce off of each other it’s basically like a trade in smash bros if you know what those are

[@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY]

Nanda I Kadek but his super armor didn't run out back then so he was most likely invincible

[@IXland.]

I CONSUME MEME that’s not super armor, super armor for example is little macs forward smash he attack’s you at the same time you hit him and you go flying and he doesn’t even budge

[@mrbarrington2709]

I loved how his final smash was literally a recreation of the DK64 game over,and even better,it actually shows the Island being destroyed by the laser.

[@FreddyFernandoGonzalez1987]

Let’s hope that Retro Games company will add King K Rool in the future Donkey Kong Country Games instead the new villains like Tikis and Vikings

[@Yureizeon5175]

Oh Image that the same fanbase who always critize Mario for Bowser being the final boss or Ganondorf.

[@TheK10Experience]

[@FreddyFernandoGonzalez1987]

Akalix Koriel indeed

[@FreddyFernandoGonzalez1987]

kaden hankey me too since he made a grand debut in Super Smash Bros Ultimate maybe he will be able to being in Donkey Kong Country game in the future I miss this villain

[@TheK10Experience]

Freddy Fernando Gonzalez ふる its fine if he isn’t always the villain but he hasn’t been in a dkc game in forever we miss him

[@xHB2005x]

King K. Rool was my most wanted character at the time and I was overjoyed when he was announced. His moveset was exactly how I imagined it would be (besides the Belly Armour). The boxing gloves, the blunderbuss, the crown, the propeller pack. He’s now one of my mains. It would’ve been cool if he has Gangplank Galleon as a stage, however, but other that that, welcome aboard, King K. Rool!

[@las4gna84]

Or Toon Link's stage could have gangplank galleon to play

[@k-leb4671]

Yeah I was bummed out when I realized no new DKC stages would be added. Gangplank Galleon would've been great, or maybe something from DKC2 or 3. Just not another jungle stage, for the love of god!

You forgot about the up-tilt, which is the same punching animation he uses against Chunky in that portion of the DK64 final boss fight. Also, his walking animation is similar to his walk in one of the cutscenes in DK64, when he's pacing back and forth.

Nintendo really ought to include more Donkey Kong characters in more of their games. While the Mario spinoffs get littered with babies and basic enemies, characters like King K Rool, Funky Kong, Candy Kong, Dixie Kong, Lanky Kong, Tiny Kong & Chunky Kong get left in the dust

[@HoleeCarolee]

Funky kong was in Mario kart wii

4:21 this actually looks to be the inspiration for his down smash. Great video!

[@supersanscraftcommentediti5337]

I love how K. Rool pulls out a Pirate Hat in Ultimate to really put it together... If only he were to put on the Lab Coat for his Up B

[@heartofthefluft8541]

I like how all his moves are related to a past game in the playable series, then it comes around 4:39 - 4:50 some poses or colors that I haven't thought about yet 🤣🤣 specially the Baseball Bat animation

[@tek3576]

4:20 Honestly that could've worked for his nair and down smash too

[@predatorarroyo5280]

K. Rool’s down-b is clearly taken from the Ska-doosh from Kung-Fu Panda.

Please, Origin of all 77 Final Smash from all 77 characters

[@zhengwenyu1587]

Yes, definitely! It should also not be limited to game origins as well, since some of them came from outside their games. Like an enraged Jigglypuff inflating in the anime, and incineroar's final smash being inspired by a wrestling move

king k rool is a very curious character from SSBU, when they told me about him I did not think he would be so big and fat, but he is very cool, I thought he only appeared in DK country 1 but I see that he is very popular and walks with a lot of swag XD

[@kevinercan6452]

That is the easiest character’s moveset to think of. One special move per game, except for DK 64, because his Down special is a Belly-counter.

[@maria1espinoza]

King K. Rool should have been in punch out instead of Donkey Kong

[@Random_User666]

Down Special's origin is a stretch. Also Down Smash looks nothing like the attack K Rool did in DK 64. Also K Rool's side taunt is just a coincidence. Also the Jab's origin is also a stretch. Also the origin for dash attack is again a stretch and in fact I think neutral air is referencing that attack.
