Thanks! I think I'll start trying to attend regularly. I work weekends so it's neat to see a nearby-ish weekly on a day that I actually have off.

Do y'all do this every week, and is it always on a Wednesday?

Good to know! Thanks!

Any rules on wireless controllers for SSB4? Specifically can I use my DS, or, if not, Wiichuck?

That's why the sneaky hooks are important. If you SDJ toward the stage (as in the gif) the opponent knows that you're either going to grab the ledge or land on the stage, so they can be prepared. If you SDJ straight up toward the ledge, they know your're going to grab the ledge. But if you SDJ...

If you can remember, let me know what kind of counter plays people come up with!

The thing about kills <90% as Dedede is that they require your opponent to do something stupid. Like, I can think of lots of ways to get an fsmash, but none that are legit -- they all rely on traps that stop working once the opponent has seen them. Even fsmash as a punish requires that opponents...

Yeah, "niche but interesting" unfortunately plagues much of our King's toolkit. But definitely nice to have up your sleeve. I haven't figured out anything else for it yet, other than that you can kill up to 20% earlier with a bair by the edge, but that has three problems: you can't do it on...

Level 9 CPUs set to "Attack" stay buried long enough as low as 95%, haven't tested lower yet. The human Ness in the gfy was at 95% when I buried him and I had juuust enough time. And of course if they don't mash out of the bury (many people don't expect you to leave them buried), you've got...

And of course, some characters can escape by buffering an up-B -- Mega Man, Sonic, Pac-Man, probably G&W and Mario. ZSS could probably get out by buffering down-B. So you have to watch out for those. (whoops, didn't mean to double-post. I thought I was appending this in an edit. My bad.)

A direct hit from SDJ will bury then launch, dealing 26% base damage and killing Mario from the floor of Final Destination (3DS, training mode) at 168% (before the first hit). The second hit alone would KO at 93%, but buried opponents take a LOT less knockback. If you cancel after burying but...

Jet hammer can punish a lot of moves on a read -- just about any fsmash without a lot of diagonal coverage, most dsmashes, plenty of dash attacks and dash grabs, all tether grabs -- by hopping over the opponent's hitbox, pulling out the jet hammer in the air, and unleashing once you touch the...

It doesn't combo into itself, though. People can jump out or jab out after getting hit by it. Sometimes they don't, but that's either because they have a slow jab, or they don't know that they can, or they just don't react fast enough. I noticed while clearing Classic and All-Star that a dtilt...

I can't figure out what this dtilt is for. Every time I hit someone with, I get hit right afterward, whether I try to dtilt again or start jabbing. It seems to have almost no hitstun, and it apparently doesn't trip anymore. Anyone figured out how to use it?

Jet hammer has its place. As mentioned above, it's great against people who like to throw counters around like candy, and it's good for the occasional edge guard (especially since, fully charged, it hits below the ledge: http://gfycat.com/YellowRemoteKittiwake ). But where it really shines is...
