Kremkroc Industries, Inc. - King K. Rool Katalog

Why have I made this? Well, the old guides had quite a bit of misinformation, and Google Docs only goes so far. However, I won’t be hand-holding anyone in this guide and will stop at points where I want you to do your own legwork. I want you to use not only this guide, but the resources many Smashers have put out for you. I don't think this is too much to ask for the most well-documented character in Ultimate. It's easy to copy what I write down here, but you won't be building your valuable schemas and unique playstyle that way: you need to apply what's here to your own theory. 

King K. Rool is a character I wanted in Smash for 15 years. Two years into his time in Smash, we’ve gone through turmoil, so to speak. Playing some of his matchups is kind of like...being in hell. However, I still feel - after all this time - that we have yet to reach a point where he can be called optimized. We've done just that, we have mined this character for so much information. However, I’m also kind of sick of bad K. Rool players and want them to get better. We're still looking for one crucial component in this character's metagame: a pilot. That's where you come in, champ.
