yo whats up guys, I am a fairly new DK player and I havent had much action on the board yet (I posted a couple videos on the rate my dk thread which hopefully more people will help me out) but in my short DK career have found it tough when recovering from the ledge. He is so predictable and I just wanted to see some of the stuff you guys do when recovering from the ledge...besides paunch and up b on yoshis island...

DK on the ledge

i either jump from the ledge, do a get up attack if they're in range and I'm under 100% (assuming they aren't shielding) or if they're spaced about a rolls distance away I'll just roll, because they're all expecting a standup or get up attack and I've honestly yet to get punished for that first roll
standard get up to shield works well, and if they're just sitting there holding shield waiting to grab then I'll drop off and upb back a few times to chase them off

Or you can just upB in place, they'll never expect that. Or try a neutral air.

I use Uair to attack and get back on stage. That or Nair usually chases them off enough for you to hop back on stage.
UpB works good as well, but is only prefers on stages where you can land laglessly.

I have a little combo that Works in Low Percents:
Ledge -> U-air -> Usmash
You should try by yourself
Works until 40%.
Worked when I used against my Friends.

You can land laglessly onto any stage.

you shouldn't be getting grabbed out of an attack that's under the stage
edit: unless it's bowser, but then you have ****ed up

Don't worry about it.
Come to the next play n trade so we can actually have our match.

I often let go off the ledge by pressing back and immediately jump and airdodge.
But there are frames where you can get punished for that...so I should use more ledgejump or standard...
yeah if they are charging a smash, I love to simply punch them

Let's see:
Nair: okay but not great
Uair: okay if done slightly under the ledge
headbutt (b forward): risky but may actually be good for shield pressure in very rare occurances. If done away from the stage, can be used somewhat as a ledge stall.
spinning Kong (b up): somewhat of a good way to get back up on the stage and past your opponent but definately not guarenteed
Donkey Punch (B): freakishly risky and the timing can be hard to get down. If anything, only good as an absolute last resort.
That's about it directly from the edge attack wise.

yeah thats a great idea. I did this a few times, but it can fail bc you´re vunerable while sideB...
and what´s with all the Mario´s in our thread?
p.s.: I´m lurking in your boards, too
I mainly do it because they don't have enough time to react and punish by the time I become mobile. If they're close enough, I just drop down and regrab the ledge until I can safely return.yeah thats a great idea. I did this a few times, but it can fail bc you´re vunerable while sideB...

All the Marios in this thread? Yeah, all 2 of us.

you´re right, lol.
btw. DK shouldn´t be a good secondary for Mario Mains, or?

DK's beast. It makes sense that everyone else would lurk here.
And I should try that Side/DJ Bair.....

Recently I've been upB stalling at the edge then I'd do a Bair away from the stage when my opponent tries to gimp me, followed by a lag-less upB going back to the stage. On stages with platforms I sometimes go for lag-less upB into them.

I've been lurking here for months.DK's just too fun, I've been lurking here for months.
Haha I love that quote Straked.
Generally, any character is fun when you're playing with them for a couple days.
