Official DK Move Discussion

What are good follow ups for the up b? It also looks like it has jab lock properties. I saw it in someones combo vid I think.

 

[crifer]

A few days ago I made
groundedupB dtilt (trip) to fsmash (falco flew offstage) to fair spike his illusion,
that was great,
I personally use dtilt at low percentages, jab, or grab

 

[itsthebigfoot]

for falco, this is kinda DI dependent, but d-throw - upb - regrab seems to be working a lot

 

[Ragnar0k]

I saw in someone's combo video they upb'd over the edge on an opponent laying on the ground and it looked like it jab locked them. Could we dtilt trip to up b "jab lock" to prevent them from DI'ing out of the up b?

 

[itsthebigfoot]

never seen that, probably not, since the trip doesn't combo into upb

 

[Cyphus]

i use DK's upB to pass through shields into pivot grab, or go intentionally go past them, off the stage, and grab the edge for safety.

 

[itsthebigfoot]

upb - ledge cancel - bair on japes is pretty nasty

ook did that to me at a tourney and I have it recorded, I might be able to get it up later tonight.

but to answer your question, no, the animation for after trip and being on your back are different.

 

[itsthebigfoot]

oh ****, ripple isn't dead

EDIT: post # 1337, from now on I'm only talking through edits

 

[Ragnar0k]

Ripple is back. Awesome. What about if they flub a tech could we up b jab lock them then?

DK pillar to up b jab lock would be rude. That would be around 60 damage with 3 moves lol. That puts them in kill range.

 

[Ripple]

don't expect me to be on more though, musical will take up at least 4 hours every week day and 8 hours every week end.

this **** is ridiculous, I never done this kind of thing before


I'll see if I can get it recorded since I'm somewhat of a main person since I'm 1 of the only 17 guys out of a cast of 105

 

[itsthebigfoot]

i already posted elsewhere by mistake so **** it.

also, good **** ripple, 88:1 women to ripple ratio in that musical.

reminds me of my tennis class, 5 guys, 24 girls

 

[nash123]

I hate up-b but whatever, I mostly use this to catch people edgeguarding me off guard with the holding down as you go near the edge thing to just go over the edge and hit them then combo into uptilt or some crap. Otherwise I hate up-b so I don't use it too much lol.

 

[itsthebigfoot]

grounded upb can get you free grabs, try it some time

 

[BBQ°]

With up-b, does DK get more vertical distance if you mash B? Sort of like Ice Climbers' side-b recovery?

no. would be a great idea for the next ssb

 

[itsthebigfoot]

yeah, mashing does nothing

 

[TheHulk]

mashing is a mindgame. your opponent will look at you and laugh lmaooo

 

[nash123]

3-2 hulk. Yes.

 

[TheHulk]

actually its 2-2

 

[BBQ°]

yeah, mashing does nothing

Ah. I do it out of habit. If my opponent asks if it helps at all, I'll say yes just to mess with them xD

 

[DK_047]

The move does a lot of damage if your opponent is stuck in a hole (side B)

 

[Ragnar0k]

up b someone shielding near the edge and it will push them off, dair can be awesome in this scenario.

I got a metaknight twice like that at a tourney this weekend. He fell offstage and then jumped right into my sh dair twice. He raged and threw his controller.

 

[Veggi]

That's hilarious.

Kong Tornado can also combo into a pivoted smash if it knocks them on the ground and chains to up tilt other times.

 

[itsthebigfoot]

I haven't seen anyone rage as much as the robs/mks that i gimp

 

[Ragnar0k]

I know isn't it great.

 

[Ragnar0k]

Does grounded up b clank with phantasm/illusion? If so we could do that then down smash to kill falcos and foxes that like to side b onto the stage.

 

[thrillagorilla]

It can clank, out-prioritize or get out prioritized depending on how lucky you are/unlucky your opponent is. Phantasm seems to clank more often than Illusion, but neither of them do it consistently. What's more, they usually aren't close enough to get hit by the d-smash after clanking. It CAN work, though, and I don't think they can do anything fast enough to get away when it does. Also on the plus side, Spinning Kong wins out more than half the time, so free damage anyway.

 

[Ragnar0k]

Thanks, I'll be sure to try that next time I get a chance in friendlies. They should have the landing lag of their side b if it clanks because of that triple jump glitch thing. I'll try and see what moves can hit after the clank.

Why as this thread died ? OP dead? xD

We should discuss Jab
