Toon Link's Match-up Discussion #20: Donkey Kong

[Shadow Moth]

Is his bair really THAT good. And what if TL is in front of DK while they are in the air?

Of course it isn't. Only MK has attacks that are that good XP
Obviously if TL is in front of DK, bair is rendered useless at which point the most viable option would either be to use ^B or nair. Probably nair.

I feel it is even or 55-45 in t links favor. While Tlink can destroy DK with moves and rack damage up like crazy with zair combos and combos stemming of projectile use, DK doesn't need to do much to kill us. It takes all of 5 seconds for a DK to rack us up to 60-80% damage which is ko range with the right move and stage.

I lean more towards 55-45 because I feel like Tlink wins out more often than not but barely.

 

[Lobos]

I haven't played a DK in a few good months so I can't add much to this but when I last played a good DK it was usually a close match. Any character can get gimp'd by TL......^.^

 

[QUIVO]

The matchup is either even or slight advantage to TL.

TL's killing isn't limited vs DK.
He's not easy to gimp

 

[demonictoonlink]

Agreed. This is at least even of better for Toon Link.
Zair=**** in this matchup

 

[Santi]

But she's 2:8 against the Cake and Dojo double team D:

i see that you live in glendale sasukebowser. maybe you should go to a tournament where bigfoot or jmex go to since they are the more experienced dk's that are around the area. i wouldn't mind playing you myself but i do know that both of them have more experience than i do and would make the outcome of the matchup more accurately than i could. <3 the africa paunch, its just too fearsome!

 

[blakinola]

Why didn't they give DK his coconut gun? They gave diddy a gun.

Projectiles **** DK. Africa is just too big. Restating the obvious in 3, 2, 1..

Toon Link pros:
-quick
-nimble
-when he needs to be
-floats in the air
-and...i'll stop there.
-projectiles
-quick smashes
-powerful spike
-bombs with big radius
-harder to gimp than the normal characters. Have to force an above-the-ledge recovery in order to be in trouble.
-zair spacing

Africa Pros:
-Powerful, 3 spikes.
-Quick for a large character
-bair, bair, bair extends longer than toon links bair.
-cargo mindgames
-high survivability
-dsmash kills toon link around 90 im pretty sure

I'm going to give the match to toon link because DK isn't allowed to camp, he has to approach, sadly . But it's 55-45 in his favor simply because DK lives forever.

Ban norfair against DK. That or Delfino Plaza.

We bless the rains.
