Dk Combos

[(blondekid)]

Is their such thing haha. I know of a couple but they all include grabs. Any examples or videos you guys could show me?

 

[House]

Platform drop > Uair > short hop > Uair (no need to z-cancel) > (repeat), then use Up Smash or Giant Punch as a finisher (any other move with considerable knockback will work too). DownB is a great starter for this type of combo. Heavier characters need to have additional damage % from the beginning.

from 1:09 to 1:14

 

[LegendOfZelda]

At a decently high percent, Dair(while they're standing on the ground)->Donkey Punch is always wonderful.

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Or Dair - Usmash if Giant Punch isn't charged.

 

[Superstar]

Dair->UpB is simple yet...effective.

Listen to House.

 

[Wenbobular]

Upair platform combos are basically the only thing DK can do consistently, because most of the stages have platforms the right height for DK...or they're Hyrule AKA step in the box, you know you want to

Down+b cancel to donkey punch?

 

[Fireblaster]

stupid double post

 

[Fireblaster]

Down+b cancel to donkey punch?

its called single down+b, just press down+b quickly once

 

[craiigg]

that isn't a cancel.. it's just down-b... LOL

 

[Blue Yoshi]

The only way you can get a cancel out of this is if you Down-B to Taunt-Cancel (edge) to Giant-Punch. If someone were to pull that off...

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

most DK combos revolve around down air, f-throw, single down b, or up air

DK isn't a combo character, most of DK's moves are used to just knock people back well (see up b) or to give DK a better position to camp (see up b...again). He is a punishing character where if the opponent isn't careful enough, one back throw can prove instant death by the ledge.

In terms of combos

at low percent
f-throw to f-air
f-throw to charged giant punch vs jigglypuff (BROKEN)
cargo throw, regrab into giant punch or f-air
throw into platform throw (on dreamland vs floaties)

at higher percents (depends on weight of characrter)
as said
down air into up smash
down air into up air chain
Up air chains into f-air

at any percentage
Hyrule wall combo, back throw and forward throw off of the pit area of hyrule castle

Prince's DK on CF

Yodaredaradara's DK on Yoshi

LEET COMBOS

I see the point, but people aren't going to be pulling combos off in-match like that on a consistent basis.

However, OP, observe the mechanics of these combos, and apply the principles!

Remember DK rocks at techchasing, dair or fair onto the ground, techchase with down+b, a grab, or a giant punch etc. Follow up into whatever else. His grab range is AMAZING and even if someone ends up teching where you didn't think they would, you can usually just pivot and grab.

Oh and another of DK's mini-combos - Versus another DK, forward throw while jumping forward to up+B

 

[(blondekid)]

whats a techchase?

 

[Superstar]

A tech is when someone press Z before they crash into the ground, doing that "backflip". Techrolls are doing that, then pressing a direction to roll.

A tech"chase" is chasing/predicting that tech then punishing it. Can also be used for non-tech rolls, like if someone is lying in the ground and they roll.

Does not apply for shield rolls.

 

[MattNF]

forward throw into giant punch FTW

DK can also chaingrab other DKs with forward throw

 

[Fireblaster]

Malva's DKonDK

Prince's DK on CF

Yodaredaradara's DK on Yoshi

This doesn't disprove the fact that DK is one of the chars in this game that relies least on combos. Hell, Prince even made 0-death combos with samus in freaking dreamland, but that doesn't change anyone's minds that samus has virtually no combos.

 

[Nybb]

F-air on grounded opponents > whatever you feel like (at mid to high percents)

At certain percents you can hit the bouncing opponent with another f-air, then techchase. Maybe even techchase with a f-air and repeat the whole thing if the stage works out right for you.

Oh and another of DK's mini-combos - Versus another DK, forward throw while jumping forward to up+B

This works on almost every character at zero percent, and it puts you into edgeguarding position. I think you can kill Link with it outright if you do it just right (i.e. he can't make it back to the stage).

And don't forget the almighty cargo > cargo > cargo > cargo > ...

 

[Seala]

Fthrow to Fair works great on another dk, both for damage/edgeguarding at low percente and actual kills at slightly higher percente

 

[NixxxoN]

DK throw combo on the **** tent. I think its not escapable

 

[(blondekid)]

also i found that dks upb, when dks fist hits kirbys dair it wins!

 

[Metà]

Well, DK's fists are invulnerable when he does his up-b, so he kind of has disjointed hitboxes there. It out-prioritizes lots of stuff, but don't expect to not get spiked by Kirby when you're off the edge. Your head isn't invulnerable >_>

Yeah but still, pretty small zone and you can miss easily if DK does good recovery mindgames

 

[Blue Yoshi]

DK's too slow to mindgame well. His only mindgame would be to stop his forward momentum, but depending on how far away he is from the ledge, you may just end up suiciding. DK can mindgame other character's spikes better (like Yoshi's, for example), but unless you're playing against a beginner kirby, the spike hitbox is too large and lasts too long for any good kirby to miss.

'recovery mind-games' will only work if they're not in a very advantageous edge-guarding position, they have comparable aerial mobility to DK's up-b, or if your opponent just plain screws up. It's pretty easy to hit DK out of his up-b when coming from above, especially when he's so limited in his recovery options.

not as few options as you think. not that easy against good dk's. Harder to edgeguard than fox or falcon for example
