Help with D.K.

[RyNo 86]

Yo, I'm trying to get good with DK just incase I enter any low teir tournaments. So I was wondering what I should learn first if I want to get good with him. I've already started learning u-air juggles, but besides that I'm clueless.

 

[pdk]

ledgehopping takes some practice with him; the height you gain is pretty short so bair and uair are the only "safe" moves to use with this and you obviously have to practice being extra fast (roll the stick from left/right to up then flick the c-stick) or you'll fall below the ledge and die every time

and the combination of knowing how to cancel the donkey punch charge and knowing how to turn around with it in midair can be much more useful than the punch itself (and that's saying something), learn those too

 

[James Sparrow]

His B-Air should be your crutch along with uair. Where uair can chain into easy combos, bair can be spammed and used as an approach and defensive maneuver.

 

[DK_4_LYFE]

the most basic thing u need to kno b4 air combos is how to charge up smash attacks. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SMASH ATTACKS!!!!

 

[HoshiPuri]

A great move for defense is the Forward Tilt. I love his forward tilt. It's range is so large it can actually deflect shuffles. It's longer than Marth's sword. Did I meantion it's high priority?

When and how to use Spinning Kong.

 

[YoshiKongBarkley3000]

I use DK's Spinning Kong as a Edgeguading Technique is that good to use or not?

 

[domiNate]

If it works for you then do it. No one's technique is the same. As for another edge guard, what do you guys think about DK's d-tilt?

 

[YoshiKongBarkley3000]

d tilt them as they try to come back on the board

I have a question also i was wondering where about would you L cancel during DK's fair attack and his dair attack? I can't really tell if i'm l cancelling it or not.

I wonder why nobodys been answering your questions for a while?
well I guess to find out if you're L cancelling is trying it with a different character where L cancelling is more notable, say Links dair

basically L cancelling the fair should be easy to spot because there is a lot less lag

 

[YoshiKongBarkley3000]

ok i was wondering about that because i can l cancel the bair attack jus wasn't 2 sure about the fair attack.

 

[BudDudandSlash]

Learn which moves of DK's are the fastest. Get a feel of chaining together his fast moves, and learn which time is right to finish it off with a heavy attack (IE: full wind=up punch, Smash attack).

Also, charge the fist whenever you can, especially after a kill on 1v1, or while you're invincible from respawning.

Check out some videos of good DK players (or even bad DK players if there’s a critique on their performance ).

Videos of Captain Jack are good examples of charging up the punch a bit more whenever you get the chance. And read the stickied FAQ on this board, if you haven’t already …

 

[YoshiKongBarkley3000]

ok thanks for that do u know where i can watch just captain jack DK matches on youtube i look it up and i only get like 2 or 3 matches.

Believe me, there are considerably more than that. Click and see!

And make sure to check out some other pros, too.

 

[YoshiKongBarkley3000]

[teh_nuke]

yes he is a great DK player. Search for 'Mike (DK)' to see more of his vids.

 

[Nokonoko]

There’s even a video of a ditto-DK match between C. Mike and Capt. Jack. Good stuff, good stuff.

 

[YoshiKongBarkley3000]

I seen that video of Canada Mike Vs Captain Jack match that match was nasty.

 

[Cancel]

Try learning DKs counter attack against all opponets you face.

 

[RyNo 86]

So I've read your replys and have been working on Dk for a while and I'm going to put some vids of me on in the next couple weeks.

 

[YoshiKongBarkley3000]
