BLUSTER KONG
Now, we have finished the television series, and we have SO many characters to cover, from all across the spectrum. There are a few characters here and there that might get a few upgrades to their movesets, mostly being the Donkey Kong cast (one example, I think Klump should absolutely have a Klaptrap gun now). But, there are so many that are so distinct from their game counterparts, I could only make a brand new slot for them. They are:
1. Beezo
2. Flurry
3. Rex
4. Tryclyde
5. TV Mario
6. TV Luigi
7. Tommy Treehugger & Co-MC
8. Evil Eric & Tammy Treehugger
9. Princess Toadstool
10. TV Toad
11. Bones Bailey
12. Oogtar
13. King Koopa
14. Robo Koopa
15. TV Koopalings
16. Wizenheimer
17. Clovis
18. Barney Todd
19. Master Brian
20. Kid Dynamo
21. Dr. Demise
22. Gorilla Ghost
23. Mervin the Magician
24. Genie
25. Brutius Maximus Grouchimus
26. Captain Clump
27. Bunsen
28. Hercufleas
29. Salvador Drainado
30. Sergeant Kooperman
31. Flab Boys
32. James Blonde
33. Vampa White
34. Zero
35. Captain Abidab
36. Mugga the Medicine Woman
37. Misaki
38. Waldo the Wizard
39. Quirks
40. Queen Mushroomkhamen
41. Wizard King of the West
42. Junior
43. Mighty Plumber
44. Crime Wave Clyde
45. Dino Riders
46. Candy Kong
47. Bluster Kong
48. Eddie the Mean Old Yeti
49. Baby Kong
50. Kong Fu
51. Metal Head
52. Captain Skurvy
Do I have to? I guess I do. Bluster Kong is one of the single most unlikeable and unpleasant characters I have ever had the misfortune to encounter, and that's saying a lot. He is narcissistic, has an obnoxious voice, lacks the intelligence and self-awareness of a peanut, and spends about 90% of his screen time sexually harassing Candy Kong, up to and including attempting to administer to her a love potion, making him, yes, an attempted rapist. He is a genuinely awful character to watch, and the quality of every episode was lowered by his presence in it. That said, he more than made his case for inclusion, therefore I must oblige.
First up for moves, he is the owner and proprietor of Barrel Works, therefore, everything connected to that also connects to him. This includes the barrels themselves, both explosive and regular, the machinery that Candy works to put them together, the conveyor belts, and the rocket he uses to deliver them all over the island. He also has his own helicopter that he uses often. He has also hit Candy in the face with a cake for rejecting him. At two distinct times, he became subject to some form of "super potion," one that made him super strong, and one that made him a suave ladies' man. During one of these spells, he demonstrated the ability to shoot lightning from his eyes. And finally, we have his love potion. It's all there. Let's do it.
Here's the moveset I came up with:
Standard B: Barrel
He will punch a button and anyone standing directly in front of him will be pummeled by machinery and end up trapped in a barrel for a few seconds.
Side B: Eye Lightning
He will take on his "suave" persona for a second and fire a burst of lightning from his eyes as a projectile.
Up B: Barrel Copter
He will jump into his Barrel Copter and fly it upward for a short distance before it loses fuel and comes crashing back down, requiring him to eject.
Down B: Explosive Barrel
I guess Love Potion works here too, but . . . I don't want to. He will place down one of the explosive barrels from his factory on a conveyor belt that will carry it out a short distance before it explodes.
Final Smash: Express Delivery
A cutscene will play in which Bluster activates all of his machinery. The characters will be shuttled forward on a conveyor belt as barrels are constructed around them. All of the barrels will then be loaded into the rocket before being launched into the stratosphere.
Entrance: He will crash in his Barrel Copter.
Taunts: Up, his pompadour from his "suave" mode will appear, and he will brush it back. Side, he will hold his hands behind his back and walk around pompously. Down, he will drink a potion that will explode in his face.
Thanks for reading! Sorry for the rant. Next up is Eddie the Mean Old Yeti, a significantly more likeable character.
