King K. Rool - Know Your Moves

King K. Rool - Know Your Moves is the 2nd episode of Know Your Moves - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and 37th episode of Know Your Moves overall. It was uploaded on March 7, 2019.

Synopsis
The video introduces King K. Rool as a highly anticipated villain for Smash similar to Ridley, however, without the mainstay villain notoriety that the space pirate has. While Donkey Kong got rebooted, King K. Rool was left behind. While Alax begins to trail off about how the king has been forgotten, Cat interrupts by saying he's in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and to stop being so dramatic. This causes Alax to get upset at Cat for he had ruined the dramatic effect he was building up.

The video then continues, going in to how much of a demand there was for King K. Rool to join Super Smash Bros. Alax states that because of the fan outcry for the character, King K. Rool was added to Ultimate.

In the character origins section, Alax explains his lack of connection with the character; that he was completely forgettable. He then goes into his motivations and appearances in the various Donkey Kong games. He also brings up the horrendous Donkey Kong Country cartoon, to which Alax believes his interpretation in the show seems to fit him perfectly.

Moving on to the moves, Alax ponders if Smash successfully represents the super-hard bossfights from the games into his moveset. He states that the moveset is pretty much what he would've come up with if he designed the character. He then explains the origins of his moves from his various appearances. Specifically he believes that his pompous attitude was an attempt to solidify his royal appearance. He then goes into his alternate colors, referencing the enemies and Donkey Kong: King of Swing alternate colors.

In the next section, Alax goes into the general design of the character. He brings up the parralels between DK and King K. Rool's moveset, making him more savage and carnivorous than his interpretation in his games. He brings up that King K. Rool brings personality to his moveset, ranging from a pompous walk to a terrifying approach. He concludes that King K. Rool is essentially represented as a playable boss, ending the video.
