King K. Rool is a weirdly perfect character for me. Like, he's got everything I've ever wanted in a character for Smash Bros. He's got two ranged attacks, he's heavy, and most importantly, he's a bad guy. Even more perfect, my brother's main character has always been Donkey Kong, so playing Smash Bros with him feels complete. Like, this was something that was missing before and should have been there all along, but its finally here.
Clark Side he also has a counter that doubles as a projectile reflect
i'm always happy to see more villains in Smash Ultimate. we play the heroes enough. time for the Baddies to be playable.
Same he’s my main too
Also, If you can nail that Down-B...
wow the effects on those outro credits
Love your videos man. I dont understand why nobody replied yet

This meme is dumb, it needs to die
Can I sue someone for ruining my childhood? I would like to sue you
The Handheld Gamer you cannot sue someone for that lol. My childhood was ruined too
My name is Moto Moto
Yeah, you say it double
Say my name girl
Say it again
I’m nice and smooth
So nice and sassy
All the other hippos
Yeah, they wanna get next to me
I choose to believe the "K" stands for Kevin.
King Kevin Rool?
No It Doesn't Roll Off The Tongue
Rool*
and that is why it is a k. Instead of Kevin so it rools off the tongue
The K stands for Kremling... it's not confirmed but would make sense
On twitter his creator said that if his K would stand for something, it'd be either something like Kruel or Kremling......... or something stupid like Keith.
King Keith Rool
I remember reading that the K stands for "Krusha".
Imagine King K. Rool and King Dedede having their cartoon/anime voices in smash bros.
That’s a bit too much power.
With the power of mods...
As someone who was introduced to both characters/series via the cartoons, I'd personally be in *heaven* should this ever happen.
i could imagine it working for k rool actually
SURELY YOU JESTIN
Now we need him in literally every single game Donkey Kong appears in and we will not riot or burn down Nintendo’s headquarters
Nintendo kept all Donkey Kong characters after rare adquisition, including k. rool
There would be no reason not to have King K Rool as the standard villain. It's not like any of the new villains are particularly iconic or memorable. I can't even remember the names of any of the bosses in Country Returns or Tropical Freeze.
If the DKCR series becomes a trilogy, I’m 99% sure the final boss of the third game will be K Rool.
K Rool Returns when?
Amazing alliteration all around, Alax - The speedy succession of similar sounding spoken script shoots this study skyward, and I cannot contain my cheer at your charming King K. Rool case.

Torterra nice
Torterra that’s so funny 😂 no really it’s so funny 😂😂 no really you came out of the swing of things and made a unique, original, and funny joke 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
7:57
Actually his entrance animation in Smash is a direct reference to his entrance animation (dropping out of the sky) in the original DKC bossfight.
Kaptain Sal
kinda a combination of the two now that i look at it!
I'm eternally grateful for Ultimate getting K. Rool out of irrevelancy limbo.
Zastral same
I love DKC series getting more love at all!
Me too
smh it should've been Goku

Don't you mean *Know Your Grooves* Alax?

I prefer the DK Rap
Probably just a coincidence but like real crocs he is really weak (almost defenseless) to attacks from above or behind (on the ground).
I mean his up smash is pretty good anti air
This is literally the most well thought out and most detailed take on my favorite Rare Character. King K. Rool was the villain that should’ve been in the series since Brawl. But it’s weird that I had to wait this long for him. Oh well, we have him in Smash, he’s back, and here’s hoping he’s in the next Donkey Kong Country game. If not, I can see the dislike bar on the next DKC game trailer being very high.
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

Well then, this aged poorly now that you're unable to see how many dislikes a video has. Seriously, what they did defeats the entire purpose of having a dislike button!
New Alax video? Who needs homework!
So true
Holy crap you reminded me...
It's almost March break
Bro I watched this while doing homework 😂
more like havent done it for 2 weeks
King K Rool? More like King K *Down throw into F Smash*
Don't you mean *Down Smash*
I believe you mean *Up B*
King of Blunder Bus Spam.
(Charged Neutral-B).
you mean mash harder
Just mash...
3:00 "You may think adds depth to the King with all these different personalities, but it means nothing." As someone who's not even that big of a fan of DKC, I couldn't disagree with you more. K. Rool has always been portrayed as a deranged multiple-personality villain who becomes obsessed with attaining whatever goal he sets his eyes upon - and doing it his way.
MetroAndroid not really though. While captain k rool is the same person baron is not so his dkc2 appearance is probably just him adopting to his new pirate atmosphere but solid theory though
Or the creators wanted to make him unique in every game so they gave him a new outfit and a different puss battle. Aka it means shit.
@@aaronlaplace5902 baron was made to be k rools cousin with his right eye being bloodshot instead of the left, but now Rare and everyone else is saying that was K Rool to.
@@chrisbeach423 No,Baron is indeed K. Rool and always was supposed to be,since they call him "K. Rool" in the game itself,he was never supposed to be his cousin where the hell did you even hear this bullshit?!
@@tiburondrogado7612 it must have been wiped from the internet by RARE or Nintendo , i think it was the German manual of DKC3 but his forhead is huge, yea thats a “scientist” trope, but also his RIGHT eye is bloodshot while every other appearance he’s ever made was left eye, i saw it in a DYKGAMING video or somewhere.
Wart tier? Cmon now. He wasn’t a one off villian like him
I can't wait for the Belmonts!
Same here!
Remember when people use to say how Ridley and K. Rool would NEVER get into smash because of size and irrelevency... good times *sips tea* goooood times..
Makes me wonder where Smash will go next. It just keeps shattering it's standards with each new game and setting them higher.
@@randomnessproductions4212 Ridley is not too big for Smash, thanks to NES Metroid. K. Rule may not used now a days, but he left a legacy. Look at the final boss of Tropical Freeze and tell me that isn't K rule inspired?????
@@orangeslash1667 Speaking of NES Metroid, I’m surprised Ridley has his own alt skin based on his official debut on that game.
@@robbiewalker2831 Fun Fact: Ridley's spiked Tail comes from Other M.
Everyone: b-but I loved Super Mario Sluggers!
RelaxAlex: *AH, BURN IT!!!*
That game was gud
They changed K. Rools design 😂
Alax , this "K" in K.rool's name probly means "Krudd".
Because " Krudd" was his concept name
Now is that pronounced "crud" or "crude"?
@@ohwow.thatsashocker.1524 I think it's pronounced "crud".🐊🐊
Also I am from poland
@@masteradam8753 whats Poland like
@@spaceace9103 it's normal☺
I think its kremling
No Nintendo character will ever have a comeback greater than K Rool. Ever.
Captain Falcon can easily surpass it if a new F-Zero game ever comes out...
@@Powerman293 That wouldn't exactly be a "comeback" when he's been in every Smash Bros game even after his series' death.
@@andrewodinson3726 Splitting hairs. It would totally be a comeback.
I remember the morning he was announced, when the smash ballot was a thing I was like...10-11 and I grew up with DKC playing the first one on GBA and the third on VC on the Wii and I loved them so much, so when the smash ballot was I thing I immediately voted for K. Rool. So the morning of the direct my sheer hype from seeing K Rool made me scream so loud my mom texted me to stop yelling lol
mildly sad that these days people are preferring to text things to people that are in the same house as them lol
Great story, thanks for sharing
@@theSato In this case the text was much funnier. Lets the imagination of the audience of this story and even the recipient at the time run wild with the distance between them and how loud the scream must have been to cover it.
whether it was funnier or not for the sake of the story wasn't exactly my point lol @@DoctorPhileasFragg
@@theSato I'm suggesting that the OP's mother made a deliberate choice to use a text for comedic effect
As always, your video was spectacular, Alax.
But I do believe you missed one important detail about K. Rool's representation in Smash:
His falling animation after jumping where he has his arms raised over his head is reminiscent of his official art in Mario Super Sluggers.
AH! BURN IT AGAIN!!
(Proceeds to pull out 10000 flamethrowers)
hahaha got his azz
3:07 His full name is King Krusha Rool. (Krusha is from Donkey Kong 64's multiplayer arenas).
no it isn't, he's King Krusha *K.* Rool (KKK Rool)
The k makes king k. Rool sound like king cruel since he is a krool king... get it? It’s a funny joke. Ah Never mind
No it isn't. In 64 it's "King Krusha K. Rool", which means the K. is still unknown.
Have you guys ever heard about a "kremlin" ?
@@Knague
Kremling is the species.
Alex, I really hope you plan to do KYM for Gerudo King 2.0 in the near future.
Wonder if that's when the retconning of amiibo!Ganon's existence on the channel gets undone...
Kerianne Tennis hopefully he Will do a video for those who have gotten any form of changes
1:52 ""Walk the Plank" Destroy an undamaged minion
you know, for the owner of a cat that hates him, it's incredible that card actually affects you
That’s exactly what I thought when I heard that... man, I’m so hyped for the Hearthstone updates
Cat tends to opt for emotional damage.
To play the King right, you must BE the King
You gotta EMBRACE the King! You gotta SNIFF the King! You gotta LICK the King!
You gotta WASH the King, you gotta DATE the King, you gotta BE the King!
@@shupasopni Galaxy brain references right here
Idgaf the song “I’m Nobody’s Hero” from the Donkey Cartoon was 🔥🔥🔥
Obsolete Excellence Diddy drop rap was really good too👏
With K . Rool being in the new smash it makes me question why Nintendo didn't use him for the return games .
Probably because Nintendo didn't develop the games, and they were made before Ultimate?
Nathaniel Foga they need to bring him back
@@shiggerator6816 ok , but that still doesnt tell me why he couldn't be there.
There is a huge chance that k.rool will return in the next dkc game, or perhaps a new 3d game idk
Also, retro probably didn't use the kremlings because it would restrict their own creativity, after all using old assets from a different company can be demotivating.
3:52 This Confirms that DKC is Best Anime! ;)
Second most sexy anime character after Moto Moto.
This...this...
Ok so I got an ad on this vid that was like “you just looked up a cat video” and I was like “wait what no I didn’t” until I realized I was watching relaxalax
King K Rool level of Haminess in the Dk Cartoon was over 9000 !!!
Compound with “The Coconut” might I add?
What 9000,that’s insane!
@@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario There no way that can be right!!!

No

Of course you make that joke. That was my joke.
We meet again

Good video but disliking for SLANDERING Egyptian ruler King K Rool.
Egyptian K. Rool was amazing for getting Home Runs
@@okapi_q Petey, Bowser and King K Rool pretty much got easy homeruns everytime time.
AH! BURN IT!
(Proceeds to pull out flamethrower)
The Egyptian K.Rool is just so bad.
I mean you can see his booty sometimes when he throws, which feels weird, EVEN THOUGH HES PRACTICALLY NAKED IN ALL OTHER GAMES!
ITS AZTEC.
sasaki999pro (he calls it Egyptian)
@@TweetTweet17 But it's not...
sasaki999pro How do u do the know of the know
@@TweetTweet17 I majored in Social Studies at an Art College. Donkey Kong has always had a slight Aztec aesthetic in the games. Donkey Kong 64 even had the world named Angry Aztec.
Down throw into anything works when you're a true K Rool
I mean obviously yeah Dedede's the better king tho
And if you suck at grabbing, you still have the down smash. Srsly, it's really tricky to dodge.
Of course
hes obviously the king of the show
Dedede mains RISE!
*I AGREE!*
1:42 I am proud to have voted for the king. Sakurai made me a happy man when K. Roolwas announced, and he will always be my main for this game. The remixes he got are also glorious. Long live the king!
after the Belmonts id personally like to see a Bowser know youre moves or an updated know youre moves on legend of Zelda characters like BotW Link,LBW Zelda and OoT Gannondorf
BOTW Link is an inferior Link in every way. Twilight Princess Link was badass and manly. He should’ve been kept.
@@TheLegoMaster261 didn't see Twilight link fighting Ganon with no shirt Lol
@@Adder6112 and I didn’t see Botw Link be able to survive before the game even started, striking an awesome pose on a horse after defeating a menacing monster, be able to swim at all without depleting stamina, or actually save Hyrule like Twilight Princess Link was successfully able to do. Removing Twilight Princess is the worst thing smash ultimate ever did. In fact, one of the only bad things it did.
@@Adder6112 Also, Twilight Princess Link sumo-wrestled with a freaking Goron without his shirt. He could’ve fought Ganondorf shirtless if he wanted to.
@@TheLegoMaster261 it was just a joke dude
The game is out, and even after all this time, it’s still almost a dream that he’s in. He’s been my second most wanted since Melee, and him and my first were never going to change. Before Ultimate came out, I lost hope. Now, all that’s left is to fill a bear and bird shaped hole in that artwork.
@Acxiion Despite the... not so warm start, I’m glad at least people would like to see them join. Their original games I still consider to be the best games of multiple eras, if not all time.
ReZaHydra I’ve had two second most wanted characters. One was K. Rool and the other was Banjo. I’ve wanted both these and my number one most wanted since the Melee days as well. I feel like most people who say that Duck Hunt replaced him have never actually played any of his games (and I don’t mean playing the RPGs, Nuts and Bolts, or watching lets plays). He would be A LOT different than Duck Hunt. Recently (I know this sounds crazy) I’ve had a feeling that I think you and me and all of the Banjo supporters have been feeling. I think it’s time. There’s been a hint or two from Rare, but I’m not really talking about that even. It just feels like it’s finally time. I don’t really care if it’s through a Microsoft event or a Nintendo event, I just care that both of our dreams might come true this time. Here’s hoping for Banjo to come home!
@GeJoe-no Banjo fans are either A) still hating on Rare blindly not realizing that makes everything worse, B) in the same boat as you an me, thinking his time is soon for Smash, or C) saying the character’s dead and that we should move on. For once in a long time though, we’re the Majority Vote. It’s been dwindling from people who left and people who gave up, just like King K. Rool. If there’s one thing that the King proves, it’s that no matter how underused or under-referenced, a character only dies when the creators have forgotten who that character is. Nintendo knew. Miyamoto worked closely on DK and Diddy in the original DKC with Rare, and Bowser inspired K. Rool. Nintendo, why now impossible to return the bear and bird home fully, and redundant to buy Rare back, has the capability to revive him. Rare and Nintendo never forgot K. Rool. They never forgot Banjo-Kazooie either.
ReZaHydra Amen!
So... Beartic and Pidove?
I love King K. Rool he's one of my favorite villains of all time and his design is great...
also he is extemely THICCCCCC

That's how Canadians do it.
it is the right way
That's how you open it.
I dont see anything wrong with the way he's doing it
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that your actually supposed to peel the banana peel from the bottom, but since everyone peels it from the top that's how everyone does it now
Wanna play A drinking game? Take a shot everytime he says a word that starts with C or K.
you really just said k rool was of the likes of andross, demise, and wart... you're insane aren't you???
It's quite obvious he just never grew up with the character. I honestly feel he hadn't played a DK game up to this point.
@@maximus4765
Alax is a casual, thats to be expected.
I always saw K. Rool equal to Bowser back in the SNES days
You're right, those characters actually have interesting designs...
@@MManiaZone Wart's design is nearly identical to K Rool lol
I'm impressed with the number of alliterations.
Well done, good sir.
Keep up the great work Alax! I really love the series
I love your videos man. That was very interesting because I have never really seen King K Rool until Smash came out.
8:52 *A e s t h e t i c R e c o r d i n g*
I noticed too
Kerianne Tennis I don’t get it
Kerianne Tennis probably a part of the video he forgot to edit
Lol, that was actually my fault. There were two slivers of audio that didn't have any effects on them, so I figured "You know what, I've never done any audio editing, but how hard could it really be?" Obviously didn't know what I was doing, didn't realize how much of a mess I made until I sent it Alex's way, but we decided it was too much of a hassle to rerender/upload everything for 7 seconds of audio.
@@TheDukeofDorks It's okay lol

7:53 Seems you’ve learned from ScottTheWoz, Alax.
If it wasn't for his appearance in Ultimate I don't think I would ever have know K. Rool had a stubby little tail.
He had a much longer tail in DKC and DK64. But his tail was seemingly removed altogether from King of Swing onwards.
Glad Smash Bros gave it back to him, even if it is stubby.
@@DaNintendude I like the stubby tail
I do too.
it fits well with his newer design. The long tail fits the older design.
Rewatching your videos is so interesting because I always find something new because of your editing
Honestly Alax produces fuckin amazing content. Everything he puts out is bursting with quality. I know every time I click on an relaxalax or Alax and bus Cat video that I’ll be greeted with a video bursting with quality. Keep up the good work team!
The “K” is rumored to stand for either Kremling, Krusha, or just to sound like King Cruel when pronounced quickly.
Great video! He’s been my top dream fighter since the original Smash.
I think the creator, upon being asked, said I don't know, Kyle Rool maybe
Kevin Rool
What if its Kong :o
An early concept art depicted a kingly crocodile by the name of “Krudd”. I like to believe this is what the “K” in King K. Rool stands for.
@@bebeconor Krudd Rool makes perfect sense
I find it amazing how all his moves are stolen moves but it all fits him so perfectly, right down to the stealing part
Kongrats on this video! It was really Kool!
RelaxAlax you make me excited for Thursday’s I love your editing style it reminds me of a ytp
#47 on trending?! I am so proud of you Alax!
I feel like you used k-sounding words as much as possible.
Marlem tons of alliteration everywhere
He cleverly crafted a crowd of clauses chronicling the King Croc.
He did iy with the letter P at one point too
Once I caught on, it was very distracting lol
This is like, super well edited wow
The abundant amount of alliteration was absolutely astounding and achieved an appreciable amount of amusement.
You know what I want to see?
My family again...so alax if you're reading this give them back!
LONG LIVE THE KING!!!
Also: he ain't OP, he just FEELS like it! (both fighting against and as him)
Thank you for recognizing the cartoon, it's genuinely magical.
Always love your videos Alax! I would love to see an episode on Bowser Jr. or Luigi!
This video but every time alliteration is used it gets faster
Do it.
Watch the video ‘in the mind of king k rool’
This is a really good video
Really good video! You didn’t mention the pirate hat he puts on but this was much better-researched than the last video.
This is so well made. IT HAS AD BREAKS! What other good video does that
@5:50 Yo Alax, didn't you forget about Megaman's sawblade?
King K. Tool gets fatter for one of his taunts. IlLuMiNaTi CoMfIrMeD
The absolutely astounding amount of alliteration available here amazes and astounds me absolutely
I love the cat handling so much. Your cat is a wonderful actor and needs more video involvement like this. I love cats so much! Hold your cat and talk to it with feeling like this more often!
Alax can I visit you just to simply Pat that cat belly.
New donkey kong game confirmed 100 percent
Have my smash babies Alax. Im at work havin a bad time and i boot up my data and see a new vid from you. AND IT KNOW YOUR MOOOOVESSS
how does this amazing video not have more views? he puts so much effort into his videos
Try your damnedest to do a Pichu know your moves on his tilts, aerials and smashes lol
Sato Eh nah.
Just joker and wolf these are the boys that need a know your moves
I think the reason K Rool was so fondly remembered was cause he was almost completely different in both design and fight every game while still being the same character, giving him an obvious varied moveset, and then the resurgence of the show made known this amazing personality to go with that obvious gameplay material. It just had every reason to work.
Im appreciating the amazingly amusing alliteration
Look, I agree with all of this, but I have to say a flaw with how K. Rool is represented.
He seriously should have had his actual voice and not just make low animalistic grunts.
K Rool really does deserve to have his own voice, just like DK, Diddy, and Bowser all do as well.
Yeah, thank you!
Yeah why do heavies all have fucking kingkong voice
He actually does sound a fair bit like a real crocodile. Also voice acting is expensive.
@@KingOfElectricNinjas no dude he meant his voice from HIS ORIGINAL GAME
DONKEY KONG COUNTRY
CZcams is trying to hide your uploads from me (I turned on the bell and got no notification)
Same happened to me
You are REALLY good at making alliteration that doesn't sound forced.
Dude, you're on trending! Congratulations!!
Who else wants piranha plant know your moves
Yes because his side b is a reference to the putrid piranha from paper Mario ttyd
(@ Eddie Moreno) Me
I think cat wants to torture Alax when it happens though
By making him say all of the Piranhas Viridi mentions
If you don’t like k-rool you are a k-fool
that wouldn't be very k-cool
Alax makes a video about one of my mains and ON MY BIRTHDAY?! Now this is epic
your deadass my favorite youtuber
This is how many people want Geno in the game.1:27 vvv Geno needs to be in the game as DLC!
"He was like Wart-tier, Andross, Demise levels of forgettable." Loaded much? Considering tons of people have grown to play and like Mario 2, Andross is the main villain of a long-running series people want more of, and Demise was considered a standout memorable villain in Skyward Sword and a worthy antagonist built up by the INCREDIBLY standout Ghirahim?
He just doesnt put much value in those.
I love Zelda but I've never heard any of that for Demise before.
i do believe he has one trait that stays consistent throughout his entire existence, the tinge of madness and megalomania he has in both his left eye and during bossfights. the megalomania makes the moves commanding and dangerous, while the madness adds a dose of silllyness and unpredicatabillity to his moves and moveset
Great video! Maybe a redo of some characters who had older Know Your Moves would be neat.
