what's the deal with DK's special?

[the real silvers]

hiya,

so i main DK. i think he's a legend, but i can't help but think his special is a bit lame...

what do you think?

one reason i am not getting the most out of it though, is that i press the a and b buttons to try and make the blast radius wider but i am not entirely sure what i am doing...

what rhythm should i be pressing the buttons to? his song? or do i press the buttons in time with how he hits his drums? does it matter which button i press... a or b?

i would really appreciate some help on this one.



also... are there any particular scenarios where it works best? as in... to the side, above people etc...


thanks

The best way to learn DK's Final Smash is by turning it off and stop playing the lolrandom version of Smash. While your at it, turn off the rest of the items too. Thats what most of the people here did anyways.

what are you on about?

can someone else answer my initial question please?

Press A as DK hits the bongos. Activate it in the middle of the stage.

Jingo is right, though. You should turn items off if you want to improve how skilfully you play — or if you want to play matches that are, at least, not reduced to complete chaos.

^Simple as that.
But really, final smashes are just for fun. STOP PLAYING THE GAME HOW SAKURAI INTENDED IT TO BE PLAYED.

There's really nothing wrong with being mean to scrubs as soon as they reveal themselves. If you want to discuss Final Smashes, go to Gamefaqs.

couldnt one do it to the right, in midair if it stops them from being able to avoid it?

 

[slickmasterizzy]

dude it looks like none of these players know how to do the final smash so they just want to give you a hard time

The best way to figure it out is to try it out in Training mode. But basically you just tap A to the beat of the bongos.

I've recently started with DK, but His FS is pretty easy. Like people have said, press A when his hands are hitting the bongos. Or, if you're not good at that, just find a nice steady pace to tap the button. The time between all the waves is exactly the same, so if you get the first 3-4 right, just stay at the same pace and you should be on track for the rest. If you get off beat just look at his hands.

But like lotsa people said, no itemz nub! In all seriousness, if you have to really on ray guy to push people off the edge or fan to get there damage over 9000, you're not really playing with skill... Not saying you do that, of course...

tap A to the timing that he hits the bongos. thanks to everyone who simply answered the question i asked. i really appreciate it.
