Hello, I would like some advice on this match up. I used to mostly play Brawl but recently I've taken a liking to Smash 64 and the netplay. I'm best with Yoshi as my main obviously, and a friend of mine plays DK when we play. I find it difficult to space and approach. What move should I use as an approach, and can you give me any other tips on the matchup? Also, what stage(s) should I pick as a counterpick (assuming brinstar is allowed if it matters)?

DJC B-Air is good for range and decent power (and can lead to a techchase) and DJC F-Air has deceptive range and surprised those unfamiliar with it, plus it leads easily to an U-Tilt.

Camp with eggs if necessary. Other approaches include DJCC N-Air, dash attacks or neutral B (it can work really well).

Stay out of grab range. Remember grabs work on airborne foes as well. Never underestimate DK's B-Air, U-Air and D-Air range.

I realise this is a gag topic to try and make people think that account wasn't an alt but hey someone might benefit from it :3

approach with bairs, dash attacks and some fairs. dont djc close to the edge around dk's because they can up-b and collide with your djc so you wont be able to recover. try find utilts when you can cause dk is easy as hell to combo.
