DK Perfect Waveland?

[jonnobigz]

I see lists of characters that can do perfect wavelands and DK is not on there. Is this true or did nobody try it with DK? I'm at work so I can't lab it yet.

Even if you could it would be extremely hard.

DK has a fixed ECB or it often doesn't behave like most of the cast, so he doesn't benefit from fast animation changes from any air state to air dodge (this is what makes his ledge and edge stuff wonky too).

Ganon is on the opposite side of the spectrum, his perfect Waveland is so damn easy from any state or height in the air (FF or not) to the ground or platform. This is because from almost any state in the air his ECB shifts down dramatically when air dodge is initiated.

Yeah I've noticed it is pretty strange to waveland as DK. You have to have like 90% of your body above the platform to do it. Thanks for the response.

Yea it's a bummer, if his bad ECB and his slow turn animation weren't a thing I'd play DK a lot more.

i don't see the need to ever turn around. you turn around once when the match starts and become an unflappable, unidirectional wall of bairs. I'm more comfortable bairing left to right, because it facilitates movement reads because that's the way i read books and such in real life. so i always make sure to manipulate port priority to end up on the left side of the stage at start. stay woke.

Can you link me the list? I'm curious to see which characters can do it. I'm pretty sure Jigglypuff can't do it too.
