It's not as severe as some have made it out to be, but it overall appears at first to do more bad than good. People saw a new trademark for K. Rool in the description of DK: Jungle Climber's VC page, but this shows what it is likely for. It would also make sense for Sakurai to give us K. Rool supporters a "complimentary prize" if he wasn't going to be a full-fledged playable character. However, there is still multiple glimmers of hope from this. For one if shows that they know about K. Rool and see him as relevant enough to give a costume. Also, some people have noticed some things about his costume:Baby Luigi said:So...exactly why does this lower his chances? Is it possible that the costume could be a teaser?

I'm going to hold out hope for him until either he gets in, he gets officially deconfirmed, or it is announced that there will be no DLC before he gets in or is otherwise deconfirmed.
Anyway, I found this. According to it Alph was originally considered as a clone in Smash 4.
