In the Donkey Kong matchup: Should I be camping?

 

[vato_break]

why would you not camp donkey kong? its so funny to camp that huge mother****er LOL

 

[Kantrip]

I dunno his massive girth is just begging to be rushed down.

But then I lose to stupid tech chase fsmash reads.

 

[**Havok**]

i just find it hilarous for this kid to get super shot down. not even by a diddy main either. just another socal resident

while you're here, how you been bro? Playing any other fighters or still rocking that solo brawl?

Been good broskies,tryingggg to play marvel but I dont put enough time to be good at it haha. My hulk is funny =)

How you been man???

 

[vato_break]

just camp him and taunt...show him who the real DK is . on another note, havok sucks

 

[DRDN]

Kantrip your from MI?

His DK is really only good when its drunk so stay away and camp like he does all the time

 

[Kantrip]

No I'm from BC and lost to Firefly's DK. I'm free.

 

[DRDN]

ahh I read tech chase as the player since he plays dk every so often

In the Donkey Kong matchup: Should I be camping?

That's the safe approach to the Matchup, but the main focus is just being agile. Get your damage and get out. At low percents, you can rack up like 60% in like 5 secs, but after that just hit hard and then back up. Expect a lot of bairs and tilts to get damage off of you. When your in kill range like around late 100's, they're going to go for dsmash probably because its a quick smash or read your airdodge to get an up smash kill.

is a good matchup for us, but if you don't know it you can get wrecked pretty easily.

 

[Player-1]

this is how you play against donkey kong:

 

[Kantrip]

Not sure about your region, but Smash Balls are banned here P1.

 

[Player-1]

I don't need a smashball to unlock that power

 

[Kantrip]

Yeah I heard there's also this thing that gives you the ability to use your final smash if you keep dying a lot.

 

[Player-1]

lolz, that was a good one, i'll give it to you.

Don't make me learn the ditto for you.

Hi Diddys! I'm here because I actually play Diddy too BTW. I didn't namesearch, I promise.

 

[Ingulit]

Welcome Firefly, but for the love of God your avatar is horrifying

Okay, so, the Marth MU. The BBR says we have the advantage, but I honestly still can't see it being any better than even, especially once stage counterpicks are brought into the equation. What am I missing?

 

[GDX]

slightly our advantage, but still annoying matchup for us, if that makes any sense

 

[vato_break]

you just have to camp super hard, if yo think you're camping enough you probably aren't.

 

[Kantrip]

Don't make me learn the ditto for you.

I'm not scared of the ditto. I don't die at 50% in a ditto.

 

[~Firefly~]

Welcome Firefly, but for the love of God your avatar is horrifying.

It's alarmingly alluring, is it not?

I'm not scared of the ditto. I don't die at 50% in a ditto.

I'll find a way.

that's not what you said in september ;D

 

[Kantrip]

that's not what you said in september ;D

The callout!

I'm more just bad at the ditto and I don't like it. I'm not scared of it like I am with

 

[~Firefly~]

Just as planned.

If I could give you one bit of advice though, it would be to try and replace your fear of the character with respect for his strengths. The main difference being that you can respect what DK has without letting it get to your head when you get hit by one of his high-reward punishes. If you get hit by DK's Fsmash, Giant Punch, or whatever else, acknowledge that **** happens and shrug it off. I think this was the main difference between the set we played in February and the one we played last weekend. The first time, I wasn't able to get in most of the time, and you did a pretty good job of keeping me out without letting my rare punishes affect your game too much. I barely scraped by the win, whereas on Saturday, I got some pretty rough punishes in before you were able to really pitch your tent, and I was able to simply ride the momentum for the rest of the match because it shook you up.

That and what Zinoto said.

 

[Kantrip]

That is good advice. Things getting to my head and me choking as a result is one of my main problems. When I'm on my game I personally think I can win a match against anyone in our region. All the things I need work on will come through playing more people.

Thanks for the help Firefly, and Zinoto too

Hai Diddy Kong mains.

The Dedede boards are beginning new matchup discussion threads, and we'd like your help. Our first match up to discuss is Diddy Kong and since you guys are intelligent Diddy mains, we'd like you to join in on our discussion.

With MK banned in the Unity Ruleset, Dedede will surely benefit from from this, and may become a more prevelant threat.

The thread is here: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=319459

Please feel free to input your thoughts on the matchup, and you may even learn something new yourself.

No problem. If you're not there yet, you're certainly getting pretty close (I'd be seriously impressed if you took a game off Dawson, or Landon when he's 100%). You should try and get some matches with them saved next time so we can compare notes. =P

 

[Zinoto]

you just have to camp super hard, if you think you're camping enough you probably aren't.

^^^^^^^

Lol too true.

It's our favor, but your primary goal should be to keep Marth out and stay on the ground. We get juggled so hard in this matchup but on the ground we wreck him. Make sure you shield and punish his fairs, but more importantly be unpredictable

 

[Player-3]

just forward air and side b to beat marth bananas arent important

 

[Vega4]

DK match-up feels very easy for Diddy. Every time I play vs a DK, they just want to break their controllers xD
If you do it well, DK can't do anything, it's imposible for him to get in, and if the get a little closer, random monkey flips works so well.

Even if you are bad at them, I agree with you lol.

 

[tibs7]

Lol he said dumb, not bad.

 

[Player-1]

tibs stop being a noob.

 

[DRDN]

Lucas can shut down the nana game can't he? He has a reflector and a good quick nair to pick up nanas and challenge our dash attack at the same time

Not to mention he can edge guard with his up b to stop or recovery as easily as we can spike him during his

 

[Kantrip]

Lucas does not have a reflector.
