ultimo:
first match diddy: good use of sideB ofstage, I really liked the dair´s at the edge. Overall no real mistakes.
second diddy: nice sheild pressure (fsmash charged), ohhhh and awesome sheild break <3 , was it a 8 or 9 punch, I counted 8 O.o
first match rob: overall no mistakes that I saw, nice ending^^

great DK man ;-)

I counted a 7 punch lol

Although Ultimo, as Crifer said. You have a solid DK. More experience will help you to fine tune a few things.

My biggest piece of advice right now would be to react faster. A lot of times I saw openings and you were a good second or two late to reacting to it. Also, at times there were openings to gimp/spike diddy as well as the option to take the only banana onstage for yourself.

Overall good Dk. Get some more experience to make it a Great Dk.

AK you make Africa proud, I saw some nice things. You even super armored a bob-omb lol. Other than that a few there are a few key things I think you could have done better::

In your peach MM, I think you went for the full charge f-smash thing one too many times. Use that less often imo.

You picked some pretty bad times to roll like 0:31 and 2:25 in match 3. Im guessing it was the turnip pressure mostly. If so, you can move out of the way without rolling so you're more mobile. Thats assuming you're not going for a powershild.

In this same match at the beginning of peach's last stock, you airdodged into her and then rolled away twice. Try not to airdodge into someone like that unless your trying to buffer a move (U-tilt/grab), and even then its risky.

Thanks for the tips guys--I really need some tourney practice and I feel I'll be a force. People are so scared of DK's killing power.

lolz. I think your post has to be longer than you sig for it to show up...

But yeah, never heard of any of those people.

On that note I think you can win all of your DK ones. Not positive on the bowser or ICs ;)

Dphats MK wasnt that good last time i played it. honestly thought his marf was way better.

then again that was a long time ago. last i knew, he didnt do any offstage shuttle loop kills and only kept you offstage with nair.

DMG.... jeebus. sickest camping ever. i wish his thread on the Tactical Discussion hadnt gotten closed. makes me want to play gay.

the only reason I lost to dphat was because I took him to YI so I could deal with tornado but then that was the game I found out tornado>Roflcopter (invinci up-b)

I also got footstooled. :(

MK matchup is so freaking ********, because you can be literally ahead by 2 whole stocks and then before you know it BAM you lose because you were trying to do a ftilt near the edge but got pushed off and instead did a fair so your recovery wont get you high enough.

like this:

i guess it can happen in any matchup, but for MK it seems so much easier for him to make a huge comeback.

Why would you go to the edge if you're leading? That's right, you wouldn't (unless you want to escape from the tornado >.>). And yeah it could happen. Things like that are really stupid, but it doesn't happen often... just react fast enough and stop. If you already input the ftilt then oh well... don't stay with the back too near at the edge if MK/someone is in front of you (but really it's likely not many characters have such weak attacks that they don't hit you at least a little bit up and you have hitstun so that you don't do fair, it's just MKs 1st ftilt is so weak... this normally shouldn't happen).

Great matches! Ironic that you lost two matchups that really aren't bad for DK probably in his favor.

Some things that I noticed...

Alot of your ledgehopped punches were pretty predictable

Your headbutts weren't so useful and you got punished alot. Also know your opponent, the announcer dude said that the squirtle guy had a roommate who was a DK main, this should mean that he would know about firebreath < headbutt and would know to avoid it.

You need to understand the DK lock. 0-about 35 % you keep cargo D tossing and then you start the d tilt lock.

I think you play really similarly to me and I love watching your DK, cause you do everything better lol. Great job in that tournament!

With the PK trainer it just goes to show that having experience/knowing a matchup > having it in your favor. The PK trainer I lost to gave me housing too lol. He knew I had no idea what to do, especially against squirtle. I agree with all you've said, thanks

One more thing that I just remembered, at 0% you should consider going for D throw F tilt or if its a FFler then D throw D tilt Dtilt down b... its guaranteed damage in most cases and while you grab releases are very impressive they are not guarenteed.

Cable is great, he's original and has a crazy use of the metagame with DK.
Where is BUM? he quited brawl? No videos of him since too long.

Not officially, he might go to some tournaments soon but he's been saying that for a while.

Cable is still semi-active but he didn't do so well last season and ended up getting ranked 15th in NJ (still unofficial but I don't think he'll change, maybe off the list to talented but inactive).

I've never been to a tourney with him but am really looking forward.
