Has anyone seen Donkey Kong's spot dodge?

[Mccdbz5]

I've been wondering if Donkey Kong's spot dodge has been improved at all. In Melee, his spot dodge could really be considered useless. I mean, by the time you got out of it, the other player would already have started their next attack. This served a big problem for Donkey Kong, especially when you've got to fight people that can L-Cancel as well. Just think, Donkey Kong didn't really get any improvements since Melee; the least they could do is make his spot dodge quick, so that it could serve a better purpose while fighting in a competitive match.

Well, has anyone seen his spot dodge in a video? I've seen it in a screen shot, but that doesn't really tell us if it's quicker or not, does it?

Yeah, I agree with you.

I'm not sure if I saw DK doing it, but I might've seen it and it looked like always... but maybe I'm just fantasising things...

DK needs a new dodge. So does Bowser.

I love DK's spot dodge, as punishing as it can be at times. It's hilarious.

I'm more disappointed that he can't change direction in the air with his standard special anymore.

I thiiiiink it's about the same thing. Can't confirm anything though.

yeah his spot dodge looks a little better AND he can jump after dodging in the air (i think everyone can)
you can see it in this vid

Well now that there is powershielding(again), I don't think he needs a spot dodge as much, but it still needs to be buffed.

his spot dodge is actually really practical this time around. i find myself using it and actually being able to walk away and tell the tale.
