DK down B edge cancel side b (what?)

[waldorf2007]

Anyone know what's going on? I didn't think edge cancelling was in the game. Maybe ending the down B a bit earlier than usual has much less landing lag, to get a combo?

Nice find. Basically the landing lag of aerial Down B can be edge canceled if you space it so that you slide off of an edge. I got it to work a few times, but the spacing to make it work is pretty strict.

new meta. **** was jank though. I do like attacking people on platforms with jumping b reverse down B.

Good to see some fresh DK tech popping up!
Do you think there's enough hit stun to sneak a giant punch in after the ledge cancel?
I'm also thinking of what kind of off stage shenanigans can come out of this..

I think the punch would land the sourspot. This would be great in brawl where that shoulder hitbox is a huge upwards hit. In smash 4 IIRC it does like 4 damage and sends them nowhere.

Nice.

DK will be in his rightful spot in SSS tier no doubt.
