DDD Social: we livin' in smash 4

[CourageHound]

Yea I'll still be playing DDD if he ends up bad in Smash4. I like DDD himself as a character, so I play him. Simple as that. Although I most likely wont primarily main DDD.

 

[Bobwithlobsters]

I really don't feel that ddd would be bad if you removed his chain grab. The amount his back throw is already equal to something like three down throws... The chain grab does help a ton in certain mus because of the stage control it gives him, ie snake. But other than him and dk and bowser it is just damage. Ddd is great in my mind do to his amazing grab range plus the great throws. Combined with solid recovery, heavy weight, and invincible utilt kill move you got a solid charecter. Now add in amazing back air and multiple jumps, I really think the only thing holding him back is his mobility. Take away the chain grab and he still has all the tools to be where he is on the tier list.

 

[Jabejazz]

Removing his chain grab was only an example of what's likely to happen to TripleD. Since characters between the games are highly inconsistent, it's likely to think that his weight/falling speed will be altered, or that the invincibility on his Up Tilt be removed, or his back air killing potential diminishes, or his grab range is shorter, even. It's only speculation of course, but he will change for sure. Maybe for the better, too.

All I'm wondering is if you guys are character loyalists or tier whores.

 

[CourageHound]

Lol i'm a character loyalist dont worry.

I mean, the change to smash 4 cant be that bad for the King. I mean I heard Capcom is going to be helping with the balancing and all. Anyway I'm sure they'll keep King DDD's defining attributes that makes him the good character he is. Or maybe even some new tools as well. Just look at Falco/Marth from melee to brawl. I personally hope they buff waddles. So like waddles auto attack enemies instead of randomly leaping.

 

[Jabejazz]

Wait, what? Both Namco and Capcom are working on it? Mite b cool. Might need source on that though.

O.o Um I may have the two confused. I thought it was only Capcom???

Never heard Namco was working on it....*goes to research*

Edit: Nope your right it was Namco

Fail on my part :/

I'm a "fun *****", meaning I main whatever char interests me and fits my playstyle. In Melee, it's Samus (LT main is Kirby). In Brawl, it's DDD (although it used to be MK). In P:M, it's ROB (and Zard). As you can see, I tend to like slower chars who depend on good positioning, reads, and gimps. It just so happens that I also tend to like Dreamland chars.

I really don't feel that ddd would be bad if you removed his chain grab. The amount his back throw is already equal to something like three down throws... The chain grab does help a ton in certain mus because of the stage control it gives him, ie snake. But other than him and dk and bowser it is just damage.

I kinda agree with this. DDD doesn't go even with Fox and Sheik for no reason, despite being unable to CG them. One grab equals big damage. The same actually goes for most of DDDs hits, in general. He also lives longer than pretty much any char, except maybe Snake and DK. Combined with gimping potential, we have a solid character.

 

[CourageHound]

How do you guys feel about winning cuz of a random Gordo at last stock. Like say you throw one at close range for the hell of it when it was last hit-last stock and you were in a very bad position(i.e bound to loose otherwise). Would you be satisfied with the win or would you feel bad about winning just because for Gordo?

As for me, I'd take the Gordo victory any day. However its a signal that I need to improve a bit more.

 

[ぱみゅ]

I am used to be at higher damages than my opponents when playing a very tight game anyway, sometimes I win by throwing a random Utilt (sometimes I *almost* win), and that's about as satisfying as winning with a Gordo.
A victory is a victory.

 

[OliClutch117]

I feel extremely lucky and not in the slightest bit guilty because its in the game and is just another way to win just like any other.

 

[Jabejazz]

If he dies by my gordo when I'm in an awful losing situation, that scrub should've stepped his game up.

Outplayed.
Outsmarted.
Outmindgamed.

Get gud.

 

[Deleted member 189823]

Get real.
You don't beat the king, the kings beats you.

In case you don't feel like watching any part of the vid other than what's time-stamped above, what you are about to see allowed the victor of that match to come back from almost losing the set completely to eventually win the entire set against one of the greatest Melee players in the world. This is absolutely no different from the situation we are discussing now.

 

[CO18]

If I have time to play smash 4, yes and I shall reign supreme.

 

[∫unk]

I will actually have dedicated players to practice with for this upcoming smash.

We're going to rent out a house in LA. Feel free to come for smash 4 bootcamps.

Maybe this time we will collaborate... nahhh. hecka people are going to want to claim some random small winning situation as their own signature move.

 

[OliClutch117]

So if DDD is bad in smash 4 will any of you guys still main him or will you move on to other character?

 

[ぱみゅ]

>implying he's good in Brawl

Meh, I guess I'll play whatever characters I feel like, jsut like I do in Brawl.

 

[OliClutch117]

>implying he's good in Brawl

.

Fair enough, but what I'm saying is if he goes from mid tier to the absolute bottom or very low on the tier list.

I guess maining who you want always works.

 

[DewDaDash]

ur avi is gdlk ^ I respect it

 

[OliClutch117]

ur avi is gdlk ^ I respect it

Thanks yours is sweet as well

 

[Hoejja]

Gordos ? too mainstream

luck is when you win with a waddle-dee jump

what's up with the boards anyway? there was so much posts before the apex :|

 

[DewDaDash]

Am I the last D3 left standing?

 

[CourageHound]

Naw. Not yet. Well if it matters I'll be going to Seibrik's Tier Breakers tournament. Hopefully I can learn some things while I'm there.

 

[dean.]

Naw. I went to a tournament on Sunday, came 5th... 5th time in a row I've come 5th. Better than nothing.

 

[DewDaDash]

Cool. Oh yea would like to mention that I am now PR'd in FL =o

 

[ぱみゅ]

And that's a tough place to be ranked at.
Grats DDD!

 

[CourageHound]

You have my congratulations as well. Do you mind directing me to some replays of your matches? I could use them for reference.

 

[DewDaDash]

All I really have are things from Waba. Unfortunately FL is the ****tiest place for recording tourny matches so all of my matches that were put on stream were not saved as of this season.

 

[Bobwithlobsters]

Yeah DewDaDash you are probably at least in top 5 for still active DDD's which makes me so sad. I don't think we even have bubbaking in here posting anymore. I was wondering what all the DDD's opinions are coming out of the new mu chart?

Just realized this sounds like I'm sad you are in top 5. That is not what I ment. It makes me sad how many great DDD's aren't active any more.

 

[DewDaDash]

The game has been dying out lately so I dont blame it from happening. Not to mention by now everyone has a mk and tries be gdlk with em. Lately that includes me <_<. I've only used mk in tourney against ics recently but lately I've been tempted to try out all mk for a tourney. The only thing I fear is that Ill find out that I might do better with mk in almost all scenarios =x.

 

[CourageHound]

Well Mk himself does better in every situation. Thats alreadt been established many times over. But its our job as as D3 players to display what D3 can do. As whats been already said above, the amout of D3 players are declining

 

[DewDaDash]

There are some mus I believe that d3 does better in, wario being one of em and ness.
Oh and mid tier dubz this week for me! Get Hyped! Hopefully I can get hbox to team with me so itll be the battle of the d3s taking our reparations dubz $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[ぱみゅ]

Well Mk himself does better in every situation.

That's a bit of an overstatement.... *goes away*

 

[CourageHound]

That's a bit of an overstatement.... *goes away*

Uhh sorry about that, what i meant was that MK has an answer to most any situation. I didnt exactly mean to compare him to DDD in the sense of DDD being inferior in every situation.

 

[Bobwithlobsters]

there honestly is little to no reason to play anyone other than mk in any situation. That was the biggest reason I mained him till the ban happened. I feel so much passion still to play this game but it is so disheartening to always have in the back of your mind that your charecter is most likely holding you back.

On that note I prefer DDD vs marth, wario, rob, and tons of low tiers more than I would as mk.

 

[Sensei Seibrik]
