Guys should we make a new thread about DK stage discussion?
I feel we should have one... more life in the boards + more info.
I played around on Brinstar and tested some things:
Brinstar:
A bit longer invincibility:
A good thing to know is that when you upB in the air and you hit some of those barrel things in the middle or those pillar things you can hit the hit will delay (well everyone should know this). If yout hit them with frame 4-6 your invincibility will be a bit longer which can help.
For the platforms it's nice to jump and immediately upB to land on them and have some invincibility (if the enemy attacks or something). And if the enemy is MK or someone who wants to stall below the stage, go down and upB those barrels (in a height that you can still make it back up). Your invincibility will be even longer and can maybe hit MK offguard, and it also seperates the Stage which helps against an enemy that likes to attack from below the stage (just go down with Bairs to keep MK away).
(Or maybe it's better to dair the barrels if you want to break them. The hitbox will be out really long and will probably at least trade hits with MK it he attacks.)
UpB from side to side (with SA if you time it right):
Also if the stage is seperated you can use a grounded upB above the hole to move from side to side. It works on both sides and you will land on the other one without falling down (just keep pressing to the other side) and don't start the upB to early (it's not really hard to time so don't worry). Maybe this will be really good if you can time the SA well.
Where you can use the invincible upB:
Also does everyone know that if you seperate Brinstar (or just destroy a few barrels) and use the upB invincibility you will only land very shortly and fly up again during your invincibility? You can also land on the right platform if you do this (sadly not on the left one).
And if you destroyed those things where the platforms are on and they're angled up you can use the invincible upB there too. And if you time it right you can also land lagless on the top platform, because strangely, if you have the invincibility you don't move down if you leave the ground.
Where you can use the invincible upB:
Pirate ship:
If the little ship from the right comes you can use the invincible upB on it's head.
If the big rock comes you can easily use the invincible upB when the ship is angled up.
If the catapult appears you can use the invincible upB at the right side, lol.
Pokemon Stadium 1:
On the Rock stage:
On the lowest metal platform.
On the top-right side of the mountain.
Pokemon Stadium 2:
On the Rock stage:
On the left side of the mountain.
On the rollfloor stage:
On the right and left edge of the stage (it's like Yoshis Island).
You will not come far using it, because the floor moves you back a bit. But if you don't press the controlstick to the stage it will move you away from the stage and thus you can control your upB again, and it moves up.
Rainbow Cruise:
On the right side of the ship. (and land lagless on the platform if you want)
On the pendular swing thing (not sure if that's how you call it... >.<) if it's angled up as much as it can.
On the first slope thing that appears after the pendular (the one right after those 3 bridge blocks).
