DK recovery glitch

[Battlecow]

Hey- the weirdest thing happened while I was playing at dreamland with kirby against my brother's DK. I would knock him off the edge and float above him so that I could do my dair and kill him, but I pressed the button and nothing happened. I chalked it up to weirdness, but the same thing kept happening, and finally me and my brother tested it out: sure enough, again and again we tried it, with different characters pitted against DK. Turns out that whenever a DK who is off of the main platform's edge on dreamland uses his recovery move (that's up-b, the one where he spins like a helicopter) his opponent is unable to jump or use an aerial or their recovery move (they can still use a neutral or down-b if on the ground, or any A-attack if on the ground)

playing on sixtyforce, keyboard controls.

anyone know what the problem is?

DK's arms have invincible frames.

The problem is you're both playing on the keyboard and pressing too many keys at once. On most keyboards keys are not individually mapped. Instead they use a matrix of wires with each key acting as a switch. If you press the right (wrong) combination of keys you can ‘block’ other keys from responding.
One of you should use a controller. Or you should use two keyboards (we do this in my university ).

yeah i think this is the problem it freezes the other persons controls

Some keyboards have a max of... say... 4 buttons you can press (or specific key combos don't work). So you can potentially hold 7 buttons down while your friend is off the stage, and watch him drop to his death.

I had this problem with a friend a long time ago. He would hold on to his buttons when he attacked, so when I wanted to do something, it wouldn't let me.

As said already, don't use the same keyboard. Use two keyboards, keyboard/controller, or two controllers. And for the love of god, DON'T USE THE SAME CONTROLLER!!!

real men play with a DDR pad

I tried that with melee, but the arrow keys were the D-pad. All I could press was 'attack', 'special', 'grab', and 'taunt' (a, b, z, up D-pad)

If it were the control stick instead, I would soo go to a tournament and use the pad lol

This.

We hooked a USB keyboard to a laptop so we could play Starfox 64. It was fun.
