  • Let it be known however that if Gangplank Galleon is set to play as the stage music K. Rool players become unstoppable
  • Over in the corner, you see Brent charging a down smash with malicious intent.
  • @Wario_B
    A good way to sum up K. Rool is he plays like a boss fight. He’ll CRUSH you if you don’t know how to fight him but once you learn the patterns and all of his little tricks, he’s toast.
  • @tresseis8944
    K Rool is the thinking man's heavy. At higher levels it's just mind games with all the crazy set ups and interactions he has. You know they know your weaknesses. How you mitigate them with crown slides, blunderbuss cancels and drift and good armor plays make the difference
  • @Dribin
    Knowing about all the weaknesses K Rool has it makes it more amazing how Kirby Kid has managed to do so well with the character 😊
  • @ogre589
    I'd like to introduce you to King of Skill. Hes a K'rool main that managed to take his guy to top 100 of HB's online tourney.
  • @NPRoyalty
    Honestly really happy that the Krool community is super chill and always trying to push the character further. Played him for almost 5 years now and hes still probably my favorite character in the game to this day. Great video man :)
  • @user-gs1dh8nk6w
    This was my favourite character for four reasons. 1. I suck at combos 2.He's hard hitting 3.He's a heavy 4. He's satisfying to play
  • @walkerjessop4238
    Vars I regret to inform you that my tiny local has 3 King K. Rool mains
  • @CalculusMan
    I think I figured out how to fix heavies in smash: reduce the amount of hitstun they receive from attacks. If King K Rool received 80% of the hitstun that an average character received, he would be much harder to combo and his survivability would actually mean something.
  • @thatman666
    A King who fights in a ship. A Pirate who fights in an aircraft. A Mad Scientist who fights in a castle. I loved this villain.
  • @potato1341
    Ya gonna need to answer to king of skill for this one dawg.
  • @thepigeonman_
    oh my god guys hes gonna do it again for real tho the bane of online play, I've been playing a ton of k rool recently online and he's fun as hell, I can see why Brent plays him so much
  • King k rool is a good definition of what I like to call the The Sentinel effect in the history of marvel vs capcom 3 sentinel was a beast in the high teir but then eventually everyone figured out how to defeat him
  • @bnsz8704
    He’s a character you have to play against the character for. You can’t just be better. He has so many unique tools you absolutely need to know how to fight him or you will get fucked up
  • @kicksyo2171
    It's so weird. K. Rool feels like he should just be a top-tier.
  • @iansmith4184
    Honestly, if K Rool's crown would just make up its mind if it wants to be an item or a boomerang, he would instantly jump to C tier.
  • @jonathanwells223
    I hear them, trumpets in the distance, the kingdom of skill is coming
