Ok, so I have a friend who recently decided to play as DK, and for some reason, he gives me quite a bit of trouble.
What he does is he'll grab and Bthrow me off the ledge at low %s, then uses one of pretty much any of DK's attacks, sometimes he'll jump out and dair or fair, sometimes he'll wait for me to come back and fsmash or neutralB (if it's charged). Of course, we Falco players are blessed with a godlike lack of recovery, so I can't make it back once this happens.
It's getting rediculous, I've gone some games were I combo him to 105% right at the beginning of the game, only to get shield grabbed at 0% to gimp death. It's extremely fusterating.
Some of the things I've tried so far:
-Spamming lasers instead of approaching near the edge, so that I don't get thrown off. Result: he cargos me when he grabs in the middle of the stage, carries me to the edge, then throws me off. I can mash out of the grabs at lower percents so this does semi-work, but I still die at <30% pretty often
-Comming back up with a rising spike instead of a regular jump, so that if he tries to intercept, he gets spiked. Result: This worked once. He simply dosn't jump out after me. He'll wait on the stage or on the edge.
Please help
I feel like a noob losing to this guy, especially considering he's playing DK (not to say DK is bad, I certainly don't think that. But this player isn't so good that he should be able to use him).
