    I'm so excited for the Ganon DK crew battle. I'm not sure we'll even get to see everyone on the DK roster play

    The DK renaissance is truly something to marvel. Amsa and Axe have shown us that great players can take these underrated characters to new heights, but it seems a little different for the DKs. Axe and Amsa seem to be cracked melee players that have grinded so hard on their characters for so long that they were able to overcome the odds almost by themselves. But seeing how these top DKs have all been working together to develop their meta in the modern game is really amazing. I can't wait to see how they all continue to improve, can't wait to see a DK in top 8 in the future.

      I was told a top 8 DK will never happen. I find this ridiculous. The unified DK front will not be stopped

      ​@towardstar Give it a few years and I'm sure we'll see a DK in grands at a major. So long as DK doesn't run into any Sheiks or Icies then a miracle run is always possible. Can't wait to see what happens with the character :)

    I think that Junebug has crazy solid fundies, and DK is an excellent fit to make the most out of that extensive game sense. Really hope he sticks with the character because he’s such a joy to watch

    Picking up a character less than a year ago and getting top 50 in melee is a wild feet from junebug

    • @wusstunes
      @wusstunes  Год назад +6

      To be fair, he's been top 40 with Sheik in the past, but yeah it's pretty insane nonetheless, especially when it's a character that has never had a representative that highly ranked in over a decade.

    i really enjoyed how actually informative this was. it's easy to go into a video where the subject is "here's a question this video is about but won't be able to answer" thinking it's going to be all fluff and wasted time for views just because... a lot of video makers do exactly that all the time. i wasn't exactly *worried* this vid was gonna be like that but i appreciated how much info was in it and how the setup (the title question) was used as a lead-in to drum up excitement for a couple upcoming events some folks might've not heard about yet. just another cool enjoyable vid from wusstunes

    Ever since your first DK video was posted Its been very interesting watching DK come up as a character to be on the look out for and I am very much a believer in the Kong
    I personally think that maybe Akir could be the best DK but he needs a little push on the offline results but with the results he has gotten online especially his Coinbox run its definitely something to be taken into consideration. I am very much sad he is not gonna be in the Smash Con DK vs Ganon crew battle but either way very excited nonetheless for the rest of the Kong bros to put on a show for the crowd.

    I've been calling it since forever that DK will see his day. The biggest hurdle for any character is not getting absolutely dominated by Sheik, and imo the matchup isn't as bad as it would seem. I truly believe that he does alright against most of the top tiers, and if people actually dedicate time to learning his neutral and punish game, he at the very least could be a very convincing secondary.

    • @alexcole9

      After seeing can donkey kong win a major a few years ago it's crazy how far players have pushed him and the history of it too. I bet people will find new strats and even tech for the character and rise on the tier list.

    Revisiting this 9/23/23, on which ckyulmiqnudaetr has just swept his pool not dropping a single game, including a 2-0 win on Gahtzu, and is poised to possibly get into top 16. Akir is also in top 64 and similarly poised to possibly get top 16, most likely loser's side if at all though. DK is seriously breaking out

      I really am not sure if Peach is DK's worst matchup, or Sheik even. At least on the Peach side, we've seen Moe do really well against Sharp, Junebug do really well against Polish and Mvlvchi, Quang go last hit with Kzhu and Akir take wins over Bbatts online.

      @@wusstunes you've got the knowledge! I just know that spacie good, sheik pretty bad, then I guessed with peach cause peach
      This has made me curious though, who do you think it is? Is it as obvious as traditional mid tier killers like sheik and puff or could it be someone kinda unexpected?

    • @wusstunes
      @wusstunes  Год назад +1

      From my experience dk ice climbers is barely playable because of how they counter Dk's tools.
      Sheik might be one of the worst matchups but imo it's not that bad. You have a punish game on her and DK cc is really broken. Fox and Falco could be the hardest to fight if optimized. Fox pretty much has to choose to lose neutral vs DK. he just gets destroyed when he does.
