DK's side B or Headbutt BUFFED!!!!

[LuK2N]

I noticed this a couple of days ago and I had to let my fellow DK players know. Headbutt does way more pressure on shield. In this video Pacman's shield was just up and I did headbutt and it immediately broke. After I punished (which could have been a better punish IMO) I did another side b and I got back to back shield breaks. You guys be the judge!!!!

Seems pretty legit. Now the simple question is alternative mixup options to check the opponent's counters to Headbutt. For instance, what will you do against someone who crouches and aims to anti-air you? How will you discourage spotdodges? That's the stuff you want to check out.

That is pretty awesome. DK having an awesome tool to punish shields is not only satisfying, but also makes it worth trying out Pink Kong out more than once

So he can charge his wind-up punch, pop your shield and then let it loose on you?
That's kinda scary actually.

Awesome! DK is so good : )

And you thought the buffs were already real what with 4 true spikes and general enhancements all around...

This is hype! I already remember how ridiculous the range was from best buy demo's. Sakurai wasn't kidding way back when he said DK is one of the strongest characters

I have more matches being uploaded right now so check the DK matches thread to check them out!

From the other thread it sounds like after being buried characters have less knock back. I can see this easy shield breaker property being here to off set that. This looks really really good and will undoubtedly be used to the best of the players ability in high level play.

I remember in Brawl one could do short hop, bair into head butt to break shields but it wasn't guaranteed at a full shield. This looks devastating.

Again good job on brining us good news with some visuals. Some things about DK may have gotten slight nerfs but this and a few other things seem to outweigh them heavily to me.
