Possible DLC Wave 2: Bring Lanky Kong to "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate"

The Issue

Hello, Masahiro Sakurai, or whoever is reading this at Nintendo! (^_^)

Multiple characters have been requested for the game by people, either for DLC of for launch day. All of these characters are indeed deserving of a spot, myself being a fan of many.

But there is one character that hasn't really had his turn in the spotlight, an obscure character often forgotten, but that tends to be loved by those who recognise his funny face, and the fact this Kong has no style or grace...

Lanky Kong should join the fight!

He's deserving of a spot, because:

•A spot in Smash Bros. would be visibility to the character, and adding someone less known once in a while doesn't hurt, does it?

•Lanky Kong would represent "Donkey Kong 64", a game not that well represented. This game would also give him most of his moves, so this would bring the game and its mechanics some attention.

•Lanky Kong has potential for moves. For example, his Neutral B could be Grapeshooter and his Up B could be Baboon Balloon.

•Lanky definitely displays personality in his games.

•The Donkey Kong series isn't that well represented yet. We are very thankful for the inclusion of King K. Rool in this installment of Super Smash Bros., but we feel one more rep would be perfect.

We're hoping to get this underused, underrated part of the Kong crew playable in the best fighting game franchise there is.

Thank you for reading, and thanks from all of us Lanky fans :D
