Headbutt Chains?

[powuh_of_PIE]

Why aren't we doing more of them? I mean sure, it's situational, but when it works it works.

@6:00

PS: If you're going to skip there, make sure to watch 5:13 as well. May not be DK related, but it's still amazing. o.0

Tried this and it only worked on Bowser...I don't like this when a normal punch would kill.

Flashiness does not come before getting the job done

 

[powuh_of_PIE]

But what about when a normal punch wouldn't kill? The extra damage could push them over the edge. When ZSS does 2 Dsmashes instead of 1, it's not for the sake of flashiness. I've always wondered why DK couldn't do similar things with his Headbutt.

 

[KoSa!]

But, if you connect the headbutt and follow with a punch that doesn't kill. You have a perfect edge guard setup.

... which doesn't work on all characters, and is more situational than this double headbutt. -_- I'm not saying we should all do it all the time, just when the situation presents itself. This is the first place I've seen it online, and I thought I'd mention it.

Against most characters when the punch wouldnt kill they would escape quick enough so you can maybe get in the second headbutt, but would definitely not be in a position to use it again. (Not against super heavies since they have to be at a higher percent to kill so it would take longer for them to break out, but there arnt that many of them well ranked).

It is also extremely situational because it can only be used on certain characters under certain platforms.

And the snake kill was awesome.

I've gone for this a few times and have pulled it off exactly once. It looks nice, but it's just not reliable enough to attempt it in a serious match.

Try it on your friends for fun, but don't ever try it in a tournament.

this is where the DK pillar comes into play, especially on battlefield

That's what I wanted to get to. If this is tried on jiggs, who dies at 30%ish with a 9 wind up. Then if this headbutt is attempted at 10% get her to 20%ish and the second would get to 30% in theory. BUT, if the head but is tried at 10% she can easily escape and not give you a chance to full hop up there.

ugh, i hate clantages "look, none of us are good enough to play well and make our own video, so we pulled together a bunch of odd moments of other people from the same group getting *****, usually for their own dumb mistake, to make us look cool"

as for the actual thing, most situational moment ever, most of my headbutts are too close to a ledge to use the center platform

 

[magikguy]

It's not going to happen good people.

 

[itsthebigfoot]

no, if you get a headbutt on bowser in the middle of battlefield it might happen, but the matchup is so obscure that it's almost completely useless

 

[MrEh]

Wow, that video sure gets posted a lot. I think that's the most viewed smash related video from Hawaii.

First of all, that will never happen. It might work on Bowser, but it's so lulzy that it's not even worth it.

Secondly, the Wargasm is awesome. Whether or not it was set up in that video cannot be proven, but it actually does work. The creator of that is named WAR, and he can actually do that on a regular basis. I'm not kidding.

Why do a double headbutt? Wouldn't DK's jab combo/tilts be faster and still keep the foe grounded?

 

[J-Money]

all i know is that shieldbreak snake combo was sick

 

[sMexy-Blu]

Combos were sick. <3

And Double Headbutt isn't that good as like... ZSS double Dsmash or something like that because it takes too long to come that.
