All in all, King K. Rool’s weaknesses outweigh his strengths. King K. Rool is an extremely resilient, neutral-based character that excels at keeping opponents out while punishing mistakes extremely hard. He enjoys playing a unique bait-and-switch playstyle, being a zoner that can switch to aggression when there's an opening, alter his pressure on an opponent to force a reaction from them, and net a substantial punish before returning to neutral. This ability to force reactions from his foe makes him unlike any other character in the cast, and creativity rewards the player with a decently versatile character. However, just like how he capitalizes heavily on mistakes and confusion, his own openings can be heavily punished as well, requiring him to play patiently. | All in all, King K.

Despite his numerous strengths, King K. Rool's competitive reception is generally negative. Early on considered to be a potential high/top tier character and "broken" especially by casual players, King K. Rool's severe, heavily exploitable downsides have resulted in most top professionals ranking him as a low-tier character, with many of them even going as far as ranking him as one of the worst characters in the game. This reflects in his tournament results, as they are practically non-existent in North America and Japan, especially on national levels. However, thanks to dedicated players like {{Sm|Ben Gold}} and {{Sm|Muk}}, | Despite his numerous strengths, King K. Rool's competitive reception is generally negative.

However, thanks to dedicated players like {{Sm|Ben Gold}} and {{Sm|Muk}}, their results in Australia and Europe respectively are significantly better. Ben Gold in particular managed to win {{Trn|Battle Arena Melbourne 11}}, the biggest ''SSBU'' major so far in Australia. In addition, patches have given K. Rool a good variety of helpful buffs. Although his competitive reception still remains negative, his true viability remains to be seen. | ||
