DK smash 3ds UP+B recovery when landing

[smashbroskilla]

I noticed that sometimes when I up+B to get back on the stage or rarely use it as part of a combo I notice that sometimes he falls when landing and sometimes he lands on his feet. What do I need to do to make sure he lands on his feet every time? Not landing on his feet leaves him open to most attacks from your opponent.

I think it depends on how far you fall after up B. If you up B and land on a ledge that's close to the height of your up B you'll land on your feet and won't have as much landing lag.

I'm going to test that theory out tonight. Thanks for your input. It seems everyone could care less about control mechanics for DK in smash 4 even though the landing lag makes a huge difference.
