DK will NEVER be able to Cargo Stage Spike again!

K I'll remember this when facing a DK.
from my experience, holding Up is easier then mashing...but in all actuality i can break out just as fast, and so can my oponents.
..regardless, its still not going to save you past 100%.
and i'm certain people cannot 'master' teching the b.throw simply because DKs have the option of varying when they throw.
I sometimes wait a lil extra longer to throw them off and it works beautifully because i can tell when their either mashing or waiting to tech.

This is no big deal to me, I dunno why everyone's so upset about it.
Yes, I like to stage spike, but only for fun.
So no biggie for me. DK has many other ways of killing his opponents, there's no need to rely on the CSS.

Like others have already said, this is no big deal at all. The css still has its place in a competitive DK's arsenal.
Here is a video I recorded about a month ago of how much CSS gets wrecked by a person who knows about this. I say it's pretty safe to take out of my arsenal against people who know what they are doing. In the video you can see what I am talking about toward the middle. For example, I grab the Samus at the edge of the stage in his high 80's and he still breaks out and punishes me for it.

Don't critique the video. I know I was playing like a renob.

you shouldn't cargo spike people who know what they're doing anyway
Yep. I now rather go for a cargo dthrow and try to spike them. Not as reliable, but more safe and easier to mix up.

Wow, this works. How sad. =[

To be fair, in that situation you did pummel first.
CSS still works if your at the edge and you plan in your mind to do it before (so you don't have to think about it once you grab him).
But as mentioned, people used to break out this fast any way, its just a matter of now they can do it with out uber button mashing skillz.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh people!!
just mix up the timing of your cargo stage spike. dont always b.,throw them soon as u know its in 'spike-zone.' This is when they'll be attempting the spike. Wait just a tiny bit longer! If they're trying to tech based off their own reflex to seeing the throw its not going to work, unless they're reflexes are like .10, which almost noone has (average gamer button-reflex seems to be around .135)

qft. DK's recovery is so underrated. You have plenty of time to wait before you throw them. They'll usually try to tech it early so just wait then they can't.

I disagree with his underrated recovery... about half the time I attempt the CSS i end up killing myself (although i have never actually practiced it but still...)

just pivot off the stage like I always do and do and underhand throw so they go lower, you don't go lower, speed is different so different tech timing, and you won't be footstooled ever

oh that's a laugh
I seem to recall 3-stocking you without the use of the cargo stage spike.
replay saved, son
for love of a god QUIT BUMPING THIS THREAD
Hey Cyphus, I saw your match against HyRo. It looked like he was getting out of the cargo fast. Was he wiggling fast or just holding up? I'm still surprised by how many people here in Dallas still don't know about this. I mean, it's not like many people go around checking all the Character Specific boards.

I heard about it back then, but I forgot about it for a while until this thread was made.Lol holding up has been known since the game has came out
Nice.
Anyway, put simply, if your DK relied on cargo-spiking, youre a noob. Cargoing is risky, as any decent player will footstool you. It's an ineffective crutch noobs use in order to play DK, since it usually only works against ppl who dont DI. In fact, alot of ppl probably on play DK just for cargoing.
DK has alot going for him, and the loss of this "tech" doesnt damage his game at all for those of us who main him.
