    Data DK Frame Data - Ultimate Edition

    I am a competitive player with 2,000 hours and yet I’m still really confused on something…

    There are 2 things that determine whether something is safe on block, frame advantage and positioning. Frame advantage (when negative) tells you how much time they have to punish you. Being -20 on shield (-20 frame advantage) means the defender can act 20 frames before the attacker. Moves that...

    Hitbox interpolation would mean that at the very least, it hits where it used to for an extra frame. So if his last active frame pre-patch hit above the platforms, the buff makes it hit above the platforms for an extra frame.

    The problem here is that a lot of smash terms are used interchangeably and often incorrectly on a regular basis. According to the smash dictionary (about as close to we get to a consensus for official terminology) the following is the definition of edgeguarding. "Edgeguarding"- Attempting to...

    DK is a garbage low-mid/low tier

    Despite whatever you may believe and whatever skill level you or anyone else may be at, please try to be civil. This site is supposed to be an open and inviting place for casual fans and competitive players alike. You can make your point without being rude, and if it goes over their head then...

    DK is a garbage low-mid/low tier

    His neutral isn't great. You need to play carefully compared to other characters, but if you have the patience to make it work it is actually decent. He has a lot of good things going for him like his reach, mobility, and devastating grab game. I'm not sure why you mention Jigglypuff as an...

    I'm going to guess it's a roll invincibility tier list then. It would kind of explain samuses and Bayo being outliers, heavies occupying the top and the nimble speedsters occupying the bottom.

    I'm going to guess that it's something silly like a taunt tier list.

    Only 3 things really bug me about Doc. Mario's cape has way better hitboxes than Doc's for whatever reason. His dash attack goes nowhere. His recovery is already bad enough, so why does getting hit not refresh Down B's mashable height boost?

    He's finally back... to kick some tail! Donkey Kong in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    Down B feels great and Up B hits like a truck now. The other changes are more subtle, but still nice. DK isn't at the bottom of the barrel anymore, but he isn't high tier+ yet either. Still top tier in fun factor though.

    Donkey Kong is TOO DAMN BIG!

    If he were smaller, his attacks would also have less range so it wouldn't be a universal buff. I do agree DK is too big and his infamous tie hurtbox doesn't make sense anymore since they changed his idle stance.

    I feel like dropping DK...

    DK is super fun to play, but sometimes his shortcomings are just too crippling. You can either get better and lose less often that way or you can start exploring other characters. I myself have started trying out other characters that are also fun and recommend you do the same (even if they...

    Any Legitimate Uses for Vanilla Up Throw and/or Down Throw?

    Both of those throws are unfortunately outclassed by DK's Cargo versions. Regular Dthrow can work to force a tech chase, but against someone who is alert you they will either DI up and jump or just tech it. It is better at forcing a tech scenario than Cargo Dthrow (CDT), but since it won't...

    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    If you really are trying to focus on maximizing your chances of winning, just pick a top tier (NSFW language), even for secondaries. Even though it seems like you've settled on PT as a main (which is a good call), I don't see much point in having Isabelle as a secondary based on actual potency...
