We're having a big challenge from the Fox boards

Ugh, I hate the Fox matchup. His shield pressure is brutal, and getting caught in a drill usually results in some form of combo (up tilt, grab, or upsmash depending on the situation). If he comes from directly above you, he can also reflector DK out of the up+b without getting hit.

While I have a lot of experience with the matchup, I have almost no experience playing on WiFi.

Fox is quite possibly one of the most annoying matchups I've played with DK. But he's also one of the most satisfying characters to KO at low percents with an Fsmash :D

Fox is fast an powerful, a lethal combo.
Usmash kills DK around 100% with DI it sucks >.>

Like Nix said if you get drilled then he will most def follow up and its hard to get out of his floow up because its so many things he could do.

Anyways, GL guys.

Yeah, I've decided that I don't really have time for this. One of the other DK's who wants the 5th spot should take it; not me.

This sounds like a fun, positive way to shed some light on the match up at hand.

This looks like a cool idea, and it would be cool to see if this could spread to other boards.
And I'm sure you guys should represent, although you should practice up you online a bit as it seems youre all not experienced with online(except ook, I've probably lost to him in online AiB dittos like 6 times by now)

I'm special, mine is mew

I'm specialer, mine is Akira Kurasawa.

So anyway, when is this happening? I'm looking forward to the results. I've only played one good Fox before, so I'm anxious to see what its like if the players actually know the matchup. I have a feeling its close to even, but I'm looking forward to some results.

The trick to Fox is to **** him with safe attacks and don't let him jump on you. If you can do that its ggsauce. Fox doesn't have anything good that doesn't come from a grab or jumping on you and he has no priority in this game whatsoever, and DK is made of it, so I'd give it 7:3 DK among expert players.

lol 7:3 is a little bit much,
but u r right, aerial approches can be beaten by bair or utilt
and ground approaches can be beaten by dtilt, downb, upb and so on...
u just have to watch for dash shield grabs, pivot grabs and maybe fair as a approach,
they can end bad for DK... yeah DK´s fair works really well to edgeguard him and the underhandthrow under the stage is nice :)

In my overall opinion and experience, I utterly believe fox is the easiest character of all. He's easy to gimp, his recovery is predictable, he's always in air mind you, dk has more range, and the list goes on.

I don't think a nobody like Ripple can handle something this big. I mean, is he really that good? He sounds like a scrub. I un-nominate Ripple. >:(
