This is a thread for the average DK mains to just post down Random situational techniques/combos that they have used and found to work.
it seems to me aht most of the threads here are about the most groundbreaking techs, stragities, and match up tips.
But it seems to me tha the pro DK players do amazing things all the time that they take for granted.
They have combos and strats that become second nature to them. That they learned gradually.
This is a thread for posting such things. Typing out a revalation that you just came by. Even if its nothing new to the community as a whole.
Typing it out and reading about it can help you keep it as a tool in you toolbelt.
And there are other amateur DKs who will read these things and it may help they get over a hump.
For example:
I recently discovered that a shorthoped Dair while close to the ledge can be amazing.
A fillhopped Dair will not hit anyone, and the landing lag on the shorthopped Dair is just too much.
However, if someone is standing near the ledge, run towards them, short hop Dair,and let yourself fall off the ledge. Then you can jump back on the stage with a Bair, which will often hit the other guy as he may still be in his hitstun.
Or you could simply jump back on the stage, walk a little bit past the hitstuned opponet, and use the back end of your Utilt to hit them up and away from the stage.
You may not think that you would have many opportunities to SH Dair someone who is standing by the ledge, but you can Dtilt someone towards the ledge and when they trip, go for the Dair.
Thats something that ripple might say either "duh" or "a good player would get past that".
But it could really help is amateur players.
Or it could be as simple as:
"hey guys. I was in a slump, but what really pulled me out of it was practicing attacking out of a walk. I suggest going into training mode, putting the CP on walk, and pratice walking towards him and walking away from him to hit him with the tip of your Fmash out of your quick walk."
So ya... feel to for advice here, or give advice that might be obvious to people who have been in the meta game for awhile.
