You've made the right choice. 
Side-b is alright. I think it's best used to punish or break people's shields. It's a lot better if you use it in the air.
You can also use it when you're coming back to the stage to stall your momentum for a second, to avoid edgeguarding.
Down-b is great. It has one of the longest ranges of any ground move.
If you're fighting someone who rolls/shields/spotdodges a lot, down-b will punish them every time.
Up-b also kicks ***. You can use it like a dash attack, or use it out of your shield. It has super armor, stays out a long time, and eats shields, so you pretty much don't have to worry about much. I swear it's like DK's version of mach tornado.
Best stages are probably Jungle Japes, Brinstar, and Delfino.

I don't think DK has a "worst stage". He does pretty well on almost everything.

Just remember that he has bad vertical recovery so if possible try to recover horizontally, where he really shines.
Bair and Cargo throw is your friend lol.

Down b is amazing, just don't get too trigger happy with it against characters with projectiles.
Side b is nowhere near the ****fest it was in Melee, but its not DKs bread and butter either. Personally, I rarely use it. Whenever I do, its usually by mistake. If you really want to add it as part of your arsenal, try nailing somebody with it in the air. To me its much easier to project where and when its going to hit while in the air than on the ground.

Aerial sideB has more range and shieldbreaking power than grounded if I'm not mistaken. It works really really really well as a mix up after SH bairs. Instead of doing short hop double bairs if they try to shield both do a short hop bair sideB. Have fun now as they will either be buried or have a broken shield. It can also be done after a short hop nair or uair. Use it to punish laggy things like upB's that were landed on the stage. Normally you would just hit them with something in their lag but use a headbutt first for the extra % before you land that f-smash or donkey punch.

SideB sucks for me... I can never use it, and when I could I rather do an attack like fsmash so I can hit them for sure... somehow everyone comes out of the sideB really fast and before I can do anything...
And I'm not sure about Jungle Japes... projectile campers like ROB make you look like a fool there =/

you can short hop bair, its great to hit him out of upb...or better yet, use short hop paunch to super armour it
if you're good enough, u can powershield every time. also, does anyone know if priority canceling it with ftilt works? im guessing it doesnt, but it works on most other projectiles (mario/luigi fireball, falco/wolf laser, turnip)

Smash Ace
you cant cancel lasers.

You've spewed out mmore bull**** in your sixteen posts than anyone I have seen on these boards. And you make tons of mistakes. Like saying that ike is broken and should be banned, treating Bigfoot like he doesn't know what he's talking about, saying how a real, inescapable combo is impractical when a vid shows it used out of powershield and trip while you say a combo that is in fact escapable, saying that your and saying that wifi proves something. Someone should ban you. NOW.
