0:35 “counter pick to a more favorable matchup” Larry, I think that Joker is the most favorable matchup against k rool already

[@Cheeseisboss]

Arguably captain falcon can do some monstrous things to krool but point taken

[@starmantheta2028]

@@Cheeseisboss Nah, K Rool can hold his own against Joker. Captain Falcon is flat out unwinnable. If you need proof, watch Fatality and KirbyKid's Ft10.

KirbyKid is the absolute GOAT. He's a great example of how you can succeed with any character you want if you put in the work, at least to some extent.

idkkkkkkkk krool is pretty broke people just dont see it

[@pandoraschill3896]

@@trinityFGC kinda lol but lowkey If people know how to play krool hes dumb and beats alot of chracters unless u play patient af he deff beats most players until like high tier

[@trinityFGC]

@@pandoraschill3896 yeah, although he does share that quality with alot of the lower mid tier characters, they do tend to be new player killers lol, and yeah k rool can be hella cheesey, but when his matchups are bad, they are BAD

[@calebw8189]

I'd say Falcon is a near impossible match-up for K Rool, but yeah.

[@IncineRand]

Between Kirbykid's stellar performance so far and Skyjay/Mystery Sol's hard work with Incineroar recently, these guys are reminding y'all to NEVER SLEEP ON THE HEAVIES unless you're Ganon, in which case RIP

[@DragonNation-us6mp]

@12:52 vendetta went for up tilt prox jab shoryu but Ken's prox jab is wonky sometimes and k rool was apparently a little too far away so heavy jab(I think it's called that) came out instead and you can't cancel That move into shoryu. The same thing happened again at 14:25

[@BLamb]

Awesome to see a player from my region getting the respect he deserves. KirbyKid’s a homie.

[@kingoro6806]

As a fan of the Dk series, I am not exaggerating when I say I bought this game only for King K. Rool.

[@Delightfully_Bitchy]

Sounds like DK fans. They used to be one of the most cynical fans out there until they got a few more games in the 10s. Now I think they're being supplanted by the StarFox fans.

[@farmerfred617]

dk series is amazing, epeecially the classics

[@Heartache2491]

Same friend, I bought Ult mostly because of Ridley, K.rool and Simon.

[@Squishito]

@@Delightfully_Bitchy As an incredibly cynical Star Fox fan... Yep. Can't wait for them to cut Wolf again next Smash and never have a Star Fox game again lol. :'(

[@SirNarax]

Same. I am primarily a PC gamer but had a SNES when I was younger with all the DK Country games. Despite getting frustrated when I lost games in my youth I never quit DK even though I was bad. I bought a switch for Mario and Zelda. DIdn't feel keen on Smash because I am not big into fighting games until I saw the big ko... uh, kroc. I kind of thought the series was forgotten about. Growing up I heard nobody talk about it until pretty recently. Hope K. Rool continues to show up in Smash games or better starts showing up in Donkey Kong games.

[@divinevirus6074]

KirbyKid is so fun too watch. He makes me wanna be a better K.Rool. 👑 🐊

[@jacobburr3570]

I love playin some K.rool! Me and my friend found a hilarious duo's combo, both K.rool. it's a 0 to death lol! You or you teammate dies. As one of you comes back in on the angel platform the other is directly beneath the angel platform. Up throw opponent, throws them rite above the person on the angel platform. Then rite when they get there up B. Takes them directly off the top.

[@The_Soldier-of_Godrick]

@@jacobburr3570 angel platform?

[@jacobburr3570]

@@The_Soldier-of_Godrick yeah the temporary platform you respawn on in doubles at the beginning of a new life

[@Entelarmer]

One thing that KirbyKid (and many good K.Rool's) excels at is using late hits of FAir and Nair to combo into other moves. You see here NAir into DA , but there is also FAir into Dash Grab (which, surprisingly, KK has missed a few times) among other things. Also, as certain someone has put it: getting good with K.Rool is basically going from "spam crown and down smash" to "spam FAir".:P

[@_mipp]

*Late hit = last frames

[@_mipp]

Kid is taking WiFi options. When he adapts his options to offline he will get better results.

[@Entelarmer]

@@_mipp Rather than "taking", it was more "took it at this tournament". KK doesn't even play Wifi that much (if at all), but he admitted he had some wifi-like plays (particulary against wrath). Also, im still upset about g5 vs Myran. Such a good start for KirbyKid and... welp, things happened. Oh well, nerves i guess.

[@starmantheta2028]

@@_mipp You realize KirbyKid is actually really consistent offline, right?

[@_mipp]

@@starmantheta2028 By "consistent" you mean that he "consistently" uses WiFi options? I though this opinion ended with the explanation @Enterlarmer gave us.

[@Ahahashir]

Finally, K. Rool is in the light.

[@cendlezfuryz1782]

Man just representing Louisiana

[@Flyingoceans]

People really thought Kirby kid was gonna flop after the online era😂

[@dee7352]

Kirbykid is def good but honestly im gonna look up armadillos sets first. Im a sucker for movement and b reversing

[@Jesus-hu4lq]

Always nice to see some plays from other characters that aren't just the top/high tiers feels like most play the same

[@Bagelking3900]

Damn he has some filthy set ups. I might have to pick him up again. My first elite character

[@brain_tonic]

[ crown -> jab jab -> crown 2 -> up smash ] is such a based setup.

[@nick0sp8]

Vendetta's Shoryuken cross-up at ledge was the optimal choice, I believe. Shoryu at ledge usually risks a SD. Crossing it up seems much safer.

[@kayden2119]

i still dont get what that chat member said about "despite using k rool what level do you think kirbykid is?" like is that a dis saying he does not have to try as hard with k rool or is he saying he is better than he looks because he is using a bad character?

[@Heartache2491]

It's time people get out of the mindset that K.rool is low tier. My bois definitely mid tier at worst

[@RamikinHorde]

Sharp messing up avoiding the crown with throw armor waaaay too much

[@olbluelips]

It seems like he went for a lot of grabs that didn't actually beat crown armour bc KirbyKid knew he could mash out before the crown arrived (sharp wants the crown to arrive so he can go through it with s)

[@SuilongV3]

@@olbluelips honestly that's so smart by Kirbykid. Allows for return crown combos and reversals

[@cactusp00p]

I don't understand. When I'm KKR, and someone grabs me, the crown never hits them on the way back. But in that middle match, Joker gets hit wtf @9:15

[@chriskrichie566]

Thats my main! Woohoo!

[@Soulripper38]

been a k.rool main but ive never gone to tournaments and such, very nice seeing someone who can stir the pot a bit for my big green friend

[@MajoraWaffle]

daily reminder that k rool isn't and never was low tier.

[@RenzZlax]

How does armadillo cancel his aura charge so fast. You dont even see the shield half the time

[@JYB_Golf22]

If you press the shield button and release within 3 frames I believe, it cancels the aura without having the shield animation. Allowing for quick mix-ups like forcing the opponent to shield and quickly canceling the aura to run up and side-B

[@SuilongV3]

@@JYB_Golf22 yes you don't need to shield to cancel charge animations. Just gotta lightly tap the shield button.
