King K. Rool in Smash... as a Mii Costume

[Morgan643DS]

So I found out a few days that there is a rumor that King K. Rool was in the lead on the Smash Ballot. Well just today I saw a video that said King K. Rool DLC Mii Costume. So I got to thinking, what if the characters that everyone voted for on the Smash Ballot that doesn't end up in the game instead gets a Mii Costume? I mean it wouldn't be too bad, it would be like the characters are in the game only as costumes, and at least they'll be represented in the game. For example, everyone really wants to see Goku or Banjo Kazooie in Smash, maybe Nintendo will give us some kind of Mii Costume of Banjo and maybe a Goku wig. Who knows? What do you think?

Thank god he's a just a costume. In my opinion, he would have been a waste of a character if he was to be in Smash. Honestly, I don't care about costumes. I find them useless. Maybe if Mii's could be playable online in For Fun, then I may actually buy some. I would like to see Costumes of characters that don't need to be in Smash, like Chrom & King K. Rool. But Hopefully we don't get a Ice Climbers Costume, that would be so disrespectful.

Instead of Costumes, they should have made DLC moves for the Mii's, or a Different class Mii. I feel that there isn't much Diversity in the move sets for the Mii's. A PSI Mii would have been cool. Characters that fall in the PSI category are Ness, Lucas, Mewtwo, and Lucario. PSI Mii's can be great for long range and close range.

How? DK as a series is criminally underrepresented, he's wildly popular in the polls, and the Smash series has historically been lacking in rivals and villains. K. Rool was like the absolute perfect choice. Someone more cynical might think that he'd just be a boring half-cloned heavyweight or something, but I'm a bit more optimistic: let's look at the one unique newcomer we've gotten through DLC so far. Ryu. Crazy unique. I don't think K. Rool would have that much effort and love put into him, but I'd expect something unique and worthwhile like most of Smash 4's newcomers.

The costume doesn't rool him out yet though. They've probably had this in the works for some time and hadn't even considered the ballot results. My biggest problem with it is that the costume just looks bad, like most of the Mii Fighter costumes. Not a fan of the cheap-kid's-Halloween-costume look of most of them.
