So how bout that Smash Direct?
7 years ago
I watched the livestream of it and BOY! It was quite hype. I sorta even let out a squeal of excitement when Simon Belmont debuted. And King K.Rool was rather something, ALSO, what got me sorta interested is the more indepth look towards the echo fighters thanks to Ritcher (Even though he was released with Simon. Which is a bonus for SOTN fans.), Chrom and Dark Samus, which was sorta neat that they had so many alterations to the animations that would make a fighter look so diverse even though they basically share the same properties as the base character.
FA+

But holy DAMN, King K Rool?! x3 (he even has his crown toss!)
