Donkey Kong 1.0.6 version changes

[nikoryan]

I don't know if any of yall mentioned this and I don't know if this is new.

But when you're facing right with DK and do down B, he turns to his left and does it. This doesn't happen the other way around. Is this new?

I do not observe this behavior. Maybe it's time to get a new controller?

It might be my controller. lol I use wii mote + nunchuck so i'll try a different controller later.

I found 2 more changes DK got. I noticed that his ledge roll seemed way better than I remembered, so I checked it and confirmed my suspicions. Both his Ledge Roll and Ledge Atk have less endlag. Now his Ledge Roll isn't terrible.

Nice! So you counted the frames, right? Is it an universal changes that every characters' endlag of these moves got improved? Anyway, I set it confirmed then. Thank you.

Was buffed by any chance?

Read the thread.

now that you guys had time, do any of you still think his fsmash got better? i wish that was the case. i dont think it changed a bit

 

[DaRkJaWs]

i think they changed it ever so slightly to where if they are standing right in front of you, as opposed to moving towards you in any way, that it hits. Though I'm still not sure about this, I wish someone would just test it already so we know.

Ya I still think Fsmash got better. It still whiffs if they walk into you, but it doesn't whiff if they stand in front of you anymore for the most part. Fsmash whiffs a lot less often than it used to for me. I'd get around to testing it side by side, but the data dump should be coming soon, so I don't think it's worth doing at this point.

 

[DaRkJaWs]

Not only if they walk into you but jump into you too.

Big O, Are you sure fsmash did whiff if they stand in front of you in previous version? If it was, I will confirm "the hitboxes extend closer to the body" in first post.

I found a video about closer extended hit box for ftilt. Look like it still whiff even Ness didn't stump on Donkey K.'s toes in previous version.

itsaxelol, For the push effect of Fsmash, I'm still not sure without a video comparison. But the push effect on Mario's shield is weird. Unfortunately, I forget if it is as same as previous version.
Have you tried the push effect on Full charged, 10 & 9 winds of Special? Do you see any different?

Yeah Im 100% with axelol on this, I dont think fsmash got buffed in the slightest, can we do some actual testing to find out?

 

[DaRkJaWs]

I hope we can cut some testicles off then.

 

[itsaxelol]

it was proven there was no change at all, right?

 

[Agosta44]

Outside of Giant Punch nothing was changed.

The data dump for 1.06 still hasn't happened yet, so there is no easy way to verify any potential changes. It probably shouldn't take too long for the data dump to happen.

I have a feeling we will have another patch in June for Lucas, so I don't think it's going to matter for very long.

 

[DaRkJaWs]

Dk's ledge getups in his attack getup and roll getup did get buffed as well (less lag), lets not forget. I stilll think Fsmash got a slight buff in that it doesn't whiff if they are standing right in front of you, but whatever.

One thing I did extensively with DK was having characters stand still in front of DK when doing the forward Smash. Sonic was one who I could not touch at point blank. I took several pictures and made a stink about it on Miiverse. I did it over and over but now though I can't recreate that.

Now that is only slightly better because if Sonic does walk toward you it will miss. Still I am certain the hit box was extended just a little bit.

Alright @ itsaxelol and @ RiotLettuce you two are going to lose some testicles.
