Hey, he'll be a sticker!When Goku gets confirmed and you don't even appear in the game
He was filler in a spinoff like 10 years ago. But mainline, nope. DK64 was his last game and his own series has moved on.Why do people even want this guy?
Has he even been in a game since the N64?

Dixie is my hope for a DK rep. More female representation, more relevant to the DK series and she could have a really cool moveset with a jamming guitar final smash. K Rool is just a big croc who runs around.
Ehhhh Dixie would most likey be an echo fighter of Diddy Kong with her hair differentiating some moves. K.Rool would definitely have a more unique moveset. Relevance isn't really a factor in Smash Bros either, and Sakurai added his head as a mii costume. 0_oDixie is my hope for a DK rep.

Main villain of the dkc trilogy, 64, and the dk land games. Plus in a bunch of spinoffs. Is very unique, a fun design, costumes, etc. Is another heavy which is needed, and another villain.Why do people even want this guy?

The main villain of the DK franchise is MARIOHe was in King of Swing and Jungle Climber on GBA and DS.
Also why would you be asking why people want the main villain of the DK franchise?
What dkc game is mario the villain of?
If he makes it in I won't mind, just not rooting for him as I don't see him being as iconic or relevant as the core DK crew. His last spinoff appearance was 11 years ago and the two mainline game since have made no attempt to remind us of his existence. Being a fighter is a pretty big deal in Smash and I don't think he has that pedigree anymore. As a trophy or Mii Costume, sure.

the more supporters there are, the better.
I will happily get my avatar pimped up for a few days.
Can someone help me out ?

Plus DK Barrel blast(and a small role in mario super sluggers)King K. Rool was the main villain of:
DKC 1 -3
Donkey Kong Land 1 which is a different game than DKC1
Donkey Kong 64
King of Swing
Jungle Climber
That's 7 "mainline" games.
I think for many fans, he is still a core part of the DK crew. That's partly why he's the most requested DK character by far, one of the most requested characters period among fan communities. One of Nintendo's strengths is the power of its catalogue and the memories people have attached to it.If he makes it in I won't mind, just not rooting for him as I don't see him being as iconic or relevant as the core DK crew.

Sort of like how many fans considered Dixie a core DK character even though Dixie was put in the vault before K. Rool in 1996. She was removed from DK64, DKJB, and DKCR. Thankfully she's back now! Hopefully K. Rool follows soon!!!!
That's true. Similarly. I'm sure there are teenagers and adults and children who didn't recognize or wouldn't recognize Shulk, Palutena, Ridley, Rex, Ashley, because even though most of these characters have new games, not everyone plays the same games or is in tune with the same stuff. I think, as we have seen historically, characters can appeal to different groups of people and that's fine.On the other hand there are teenagers who grew up with DKC Returns who have no idea who he is

Can be said for a lot of od characters. Main stream popularity isn't the only factor, imo.On the other hand there are teenagers who grew up with DKC Returns who have no idea who he is

Wouldn't these new kids go back and play the old games? It's not like they exist in a bubble.
Do kids of today know who Ness or Lucas are? Half the Fire Emblem characters? Palutena? Little Mac?
How is that different than K. Rool?
Valid points but with pretty much every Smash addition you can look back at a recent game and find that character (Smash 4 had Shulk who has Xenoblade + Xenoblade 3D - Smash Ultimate has Ridley who appeared in Samus Returns - Smash 4 also had Palutena who appeared in Kid Icarus Uprising). I think the exception to this is classic additions like ROB and Duck Hunt but they're iconic remnants of their time. Pit (Brawl) may be one of the few exceptions here as I wouldn't have called Kid Icarus an iconic landmark of the NES and his series was all but dead at the time.That's true. Similarly.

Interestingly, teenagers who grew up on DKC Returns wouldn't necessarily know Dixie either. She was gone from that game like K. Rool, too! I still think she deserves the spot. I think she deserved it even when she was stuck all the way back in 1996, celebrating the signing of the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty.
What about Waluigi?
You can say that about a lot of the Smash roster. R.O.B. who?On the other hand there are teenagers who grew up with DKC Returns who have no idea who he is
