Lol unfortunately I still get bodied in that matchup vs campy players.NJZ your DK is so good it makes the Falco matchup look 50/50 lol
approaching marth -> shield stops, dash dances, wavedash back baits, dtilt, ftilt, SH bair.I'm new to the game and I've been playing DK exclusively against my friend who mains Marth. We're at the same skill level, (spamming rolls, missing wavedashes everywhere, etc) but he keeps crushing me. How do I approach Marth, apart from baiting dash attacks then grabbing?
Also, just as a new player, advice for practicing tech skill? I try to practice cargo shff uair combos and **** like that everyday.
Wow never new about this. Must try it out.However shield pivoting is a lot easier and more useful with DK. Basically dash forward and the very moment you dash the opposite way, put up your shield. You basically move forward keeping your back to your opponent.
I use this for 2 things. Simply to move forward and Back Air (I try act out of the shield with a SH bair asap). I also use it vs characters like Falco who would normally poke the front of my shield (lasers even poke DK's shield). With my shield facing backwards, I can absorb pressure easier or even squeeze in a Bair once they commit to an aerial move approach after a short hop laser.
I'm pretty sure it's % based. I find I can full hop, cargo up throw, double jump and c-stick fair when marth is around 90-120%.Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the tips, this is easily the most intimidating competitive game I've tried to pick up.
How do you land the guaranteed fair on Marth? Is it just cargo up throw -> follow di -> fair? I have no idea how to make it guaranteed.
Do you just press down out of shield and then c stick up air straight away?Oh I forgot to mention shield drops!
Practice shield dropping from platforms. Once an opponent hits your shield while you are sitting on a platform, you can shield drop into an immediate Uair setup.
Currently no top DK can shield drop well LOL.
Yes please!I'm going to eventually update the DK guide and add some more footage to my youtube channel.
Yes please x 2I'll see if I feel like going DK in some matches at Aftershock
Use your coconut gun. It fires in spurts.I'm in Axe's pool for melee.
I will be going DK against him
Just go into training, set the computer to evade and try the up throw up air combos until you can do it fast enough. At least that's what I do. If they hit the floor then I know I was too slow. Remember to also short hop cargo up throw if you're holding captain falcon or a spacie.How do you guarantee you get your jump off as soon as the cargo uthrow is over? I feel like I'm doing it slow 99/100 times
Against Marth / Roy you have to cargo up throw into FULL jump up air. They are floaties so they fly too far up after a cargo up throw.Sorry, I feel like an actual idiot. Cargo Uthrow to short hop uair seems too low to hit Marth or Roy, what the **** am I doing wrong here?
Yeah it's tough hey. Are you fast falling (pressing down) after your up airs?Ok.
Yeah, I am. It's not like marvel where youj have way more time to read a tech and apply a setup. I generally get one up air then get **** all haha.
Not sure. I don't really play Smash 3DS. Try posting on the Smash 3DS boardnot a huge question, but who actually uses the C-Stick in Sm4sh 3DS? I don't have a N3DS, but I only used it on my GCN controller for Brawl.
CC grab dem Pika Nairs all dayI'm in Axe's pool for melee.
I will be going DK against him
I won't really give much in the way of critique cos I'm still learning the mighty Kong myself, but faaar out fighting Falcon is tough. Especially a good one. I felt for ya man. Especially in that last match with the unlucky SDs. Was the last SD intentional? If it was then remember to never give in, no matter how much the odds are stacked against you! You can always come back
Very solid DK. A couple things I think you forgot to utilize is DK's awesome UpB on ledge as an edgeguard. Ledgehop Bair is good, but sometimes they are too close, so an UpB is amazing.
I actually like the Falcon matchup, although both characters can body each other pretty hard.Question though. Do you prefer smaller stages when versing Falcon? (YS, FOD). What were your stage options for counterpick?
