I think he's relatively the same as Melee's version. His attack speed seems slightly faster but at the same time, a bit nerfed.

If his shield actually works then I would say that he is much better. Anyone knows if his shield is any good this time around?

If you do his FS right it gets a couple long ranged hits, but they are still easy to dodge, so unless you are on a small stage it's garbage.

Aren't huge stages banned in tournaments though? DK could still be able to kick some major *** on FD or anything where he can catch someone up close. Imagine holding someone against a wall with that- Ouch!

DK is a below average character, read gimpy's review on him and you'll know. DK is a very cool character, it's a shame that he's low tier.

Apparently his Down B is insane now though. 100+ damage on Metaknight!

his down B hits about 15% for every hand slap to the ground. Also if used close enough to a character, I believe it sucks them in, or holds them much like Young Links Up B.

maybe they're tweaking him a little since he wasn't playable at jumpfesta.[/QUOTE]

Hey you're probably right, this is why he wasn't playable at jump festa! Thanks for the theory

Gundo, if you're right, then people are going to need to rely on their air-game around DK. It's at least 30 guarunteed in its current state.

I'm just saying what I think I saw. and yeah, DK seems like a ground defender anyways. So I'm sure it does 15% per hit and sucks in if close enough. But in the end, nothings offical until the game itself is out. :cool:

I'm sure we'll find ways to use him.

With that hand slap combo I saw on Meta Knight, I'll figure SOMETHING out along the lines of combo's when Brawl comes out...
