Do we have a combo thread? Like guaranteed combos? I could have sworn that we had a thread for that but I cant find it. =\

Well, I do another combo starting at around 0%. No one has ever DI'd out of it and ive never seen it used by any other DK in combo vids, regular matches or anything. =\

Its pretty situational though.

You know what no one ever talks about? How DK can break a shield pretty much effortless.

I do it to computers a lot and have done it to live guy once. Down-b to Side-B and there goes that shield.

Yeah computers... try landing one on a live opponent.

Doing it once doesn't mean anything because any character can do that...

DK can definitely break shields better than many other characters. Side B, down b and up b can all eat shields very easily and if the opponent shields two specials within a short time of one another a shield break is very possible. It's good stuff.

I'm telling ya, it's because of the humanoid part and DK doesn't like humans. DK doesn't like the Man.
dk loves people, he tries to steal and **** them on top of construction sites

If you're against someone with a low shield and they do a laggy move, don't punish it. They will almost always be buffering a shield, so just wait a second and then side b when they are done being in lag. Do it when Marth misses an up b, Snake misses an aerial, stuff like that. People also tend to shield when they are standing on top of a platform or when they get up from the edge.

That sounds like it could work. I'll give it a try.

Oh, and down B to side B combo will break shields, but you won't land it on anyone with an IQ over 60. According to the frame data, it takes 20 frames to come out. That means that the opponent could roll away, or even coutnerattack before you get side B to come out. Speaking of side B, I felt like such a noob regarding that move yesterday, in that I only just found out that it does more damage in the air than on the ground! :laugh:

But it has a bit less range. Either way the move doesn't have that much range though, so it's okay.

I've hit from pretty **** far with the headbutt before. It's got some weird range. I wish I could see exactly how big the hitbox is because it's pretty disjointed as far as I can tell.

Against snake is my favorite mathcup. They airdodge a lot, wait and punish. Grab and cargo downthrow offstage. Spike them out of their cypher. Down b a lot and side b their shield if they're trying to cook grenades.

What ends up happening against snakes is I do well the first life, sometimes i die first but he has alot of percents. Then i miss a kill move or something and I have 40 percent from an F tilt and a couple of nades or something.

Also I have alot of trouble grabbing, they always spotdodge my attempts and punish.

Wait for their spotdodge, or grab their landings or when they try to nade. Snake does rack up damage really fast so you have to be careful.

You guys didn't really need anything. Some quick organization and someone to get on your *** about a new matchup thread. lol

I haven't even posted here besides this thread for a long time. :p
