Brothers Calamity: Donkey Kong's Jab Combo & D-Air Lock

[LiteralGrill]

♫ He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well
He's back in Smash to kick some tail
His down air sets up for pretty good locks
Get caught in these and lose your stock!
His down tilt and jab can combo too
He's the first member of the DK Crew ♫

This video by Brothers Calamity shows some good tricks that Donkey Kong can use in battle. From Jab and downtilt combos to how Dair can set up for amazing combos if the opponent misses a tech, the knowledge in this video is sure to help out Donkey Kong mains. Give it a watch and increase that knowledge of Smash!

This is now an Expand Dong Thread. All DK discussion will be talking about the viability of the Expanded Dong.

What do you call the endlag after DK whiffs his moves?

Thank you everyone, I will be here all week.

 

[M15t3R E]

I would chain the last jab into a grab before they have the ability to break free, around 40%.

 

[ssbMars]

Thank you kindly, 90007000

This is why he's blocked

Anyways, what would be the optimal DI for evading this combo? I feel like it would be towards Dong after getting jabbed.

[DaRkJaWs]

near worthless video

 

[Kwam$tack$]

looks scary

 

[Jellyfish4102]

Uhhhggg why do I read Smashbords comments. They just make me sad for humanity.

 

[DaRkJaWs]

What makes me sad for humanity is the emphasis you pro wannabes (or even self proclaimed pros) put on jab locks and strings rather than capabilities approaches by emphasizing a characters complete moveset, including b reversing. I doubt the person that created this video or that any of you know that DK has the ability to b reverse and wavebounce ALL of his special moves, on the ground AND in the air. Yet are there any videos on it or anyone saying anything about it to see if it makes DK a more dynamic character, more than 9 months after the game has come out? Nope Ya'll just want whatever is easy, and if that's the case you shouldn't be playing DK to begin with.

You mean like literally every other character

 

[iDreamTheater]

No, I know you at least cannot wavebounce Charge Shot. You can barely B reverse it.. <3 Samus

 

[DaRkJaWs]

Nope, do you even play smash 4?

Nice to see a low tier get some spotlight.

 

[Spooks]

Don't let that door slam your butt on the way out.

 

[Spooks]

Don't let that door slam your butt on the way out.

Well he does have a point. So much of DKs tech is never talked about

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Yet putting it in a condescending manner, speaking with a snobbish attitude and adding "you shouldn't be playing DK to begin with". It doesn't matter if he had a point, it doesn't excuse his toxic behavior so let's not advocate for this kind of people, shall we?
If he wants to help the community and the character, rather than complaining about the lack of video he should make one instead, assuming that that door doesn't slam his elitist butt on the way back of course.

I can see why someone would take offense to what he said. Maybe he'll make a guide
