Can DK ever reliable get a grab off of his Jab? Does DK even HAVE a jab game? = (
Not really. It doesn't have that much range, there's a lot of lag afterwards and instead of hitting them up a little like sheik/fox/many others, it just hits them back a little and there's too much lag to run up and grab afterwards generally....if you catch them off guard you MIGHT be able to get one, but i wouldn't rely on it...
really? cmon, i bet you must play donkey kong in brawl, because i heard that bum even plays brawl and he loves it playing dk, bum loves brawl
I'm not bum. I don't play brawl at all. I haven't played it since it first came out. It's not smash to me, to me its a completely different game, and sorry to say, but I like smash.
Oh of course, because BUM loves Brawl, all melee DK players must love Brawl. Your logical is great.
Yo Mexican, I have a good question. I'm starting to use the great monkey against FFer's for friendlies, but I'm having a really hard time approaching them. The second I get a grab in it's a huge combo, but actually getting hits/grabs in is another story. TBH, Fox is harder for me than Falco, due to how easily gimped his recovery is, plus one shine from Fox could easily lead to a 0-80+ combo and that hurts my monkey Pride.
Any advice in approaching Spacies without getting murdered?
You shouldn't bet taking 80 damage in combos from a shine...if he gets you into a wall, that's understandable, but otherwise there should be no way you're taking that much damage in combos. If you get hit with a shine, you can do what i do sometimes, crouch cancel and down smash. It'll hit them if they aren't fast enough or if they try to do too much. Approaching high level falcos is much tougher than approaching high level foxes. Try b air into grabs. Dash dancing to get your grabs. Let them try their little pillar on you, and the second that they jump out of their shine, jump with them and try to land a quick u air. If you do, you'll get a free grab. What works well for me is d tilting them twice, and after they get hit by the second one, they almost always jump. So d tilt twice and then jump forward with a short hopped u air.
otg, you are a total scrub! beating fox/falco in melee is easy with donkey kong
I hope this post was a joke, cuz otherwise you're making yourself sound like a noob
Dude.... honestly just no. Go back to the Brawl forums plz.
Second
Nobody cares about brawl. Why are you talking about it?
On topic:
I just thought of something awesome today with DK: Bair->reverse dtilt. It's awesome cuz it combos at low percent and the dtilt can sometimes lead to grab.
Whatever works for you. If it works, good, practice it, perfect it, and then go **** some fox with it. lol. Me personally, i just like to either turn around for the grab if i hit, or do the b air, and dash away and back and grab. Works well for me
