DK Taunt Dodge

[Ownasaurus]

I'm very sorry for creating a useless thread if this is already known. I was playing smash64 online yesterday when a friend and I accidentally discovered that DK's hitbox changes while he is taunting. I'm not sure exactly what it changes to, but it's definitely smaller... like his ducking hitbox or something.

I just uploaded this video to demonstrate this concept, but plenty of other attacks, melee and ranged, fail to hit certain parts of DK while he is taunting.

What a coincidence. Same date. Same thing. I was talking about this a couple weeks back in one of the stickied threads and got completely ignored, maybe I should make an entire new thread for everything like this to get attention >_>

This would be like the ultimate show of skill and douchebaggery if you pulled this off in a match and retaliated for an instant kill

DK's taunt is soo broken!!!

For now on, taunting with DK is banned in all tourney matches.

lol, just dont jump when shooting DK. simple as that =]

That could actually be slightly useful. Like if a Samus fires a fully charged shot slightly above your head, you could taunt dodge it instead of shielding and risk getting shield grabbed afterwards.

^ couldn't you just duck it as well if it's shot that high?

Yeah, but that wouldn't be nearly as cool.

I was joking

I was joking

I was actually referring to the thread it self, but i can see how it came off as confusing

 

[asianaussie]

I have a feeling the taunt is based off DK's ducking model, as he's still hit below the arms.

Fox runs towards donkey kong and shoots a laser halfway there, DK taunts, Fox player thinks it's his opportunity to do a combo cause of the temporary stun, laser goes through DK, Fox is too close and DK goes for a grab.

GAME!

It's obviously never the optimal move choice in any circumstance, but it can still be fun to dodge with this in friendlies!!
