NEW DK TECH: Tipper Jab to Pivot Sweetspot U-tilt

DK now has a confirmed KO combo with tipper jab into reverse up tilt! This is significant because if you miss the Ding Dong percent window, you now have another way to net KOs before percents become unreasonably high.

This was my first reaction to landing the tipper jab to up tilt, however we found that the earliest percent Sonic will be reliably KOed is 78% when DK is at 150%. (max rage)

Pro Tip: Set your c-stick to attack, and this combo becomes way easier.

1) Space a max ranged (tipper) jab so that the opponent is sucked in toward DK.
2) Buffer a pivot during the end lag of jab 1. (input away from where DK is facing)
3) Input an immediate up tilt.
4) Profit!

I'll be labbing the kill percents on all characters on my Twitch livestream, with and without rage so stay tuned!

Special shoutouts to @KingMatrix64 for helping me lab this on stream! Couldn't have done it without him. ^_^

Follow me over on Twitch! I stream on Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 7pm EDT with bonus streams on weekends for tournament runs!

[donk]

I saw this and thought "YO THEY PUT THIS IN ULTIMATE? FINALLY"

[boxgeneral]

Dk has a kill setup? better nerf greninja

[RustyRick]

Hey, I saw some footage of you in tournaments, didn't know you had your own channel on YouTube. I main DK in Smash since the Brawl days and I want to congratulate you for being such a amazing DK player, I definitely learned from your fighting style and hope to maybe play against you with DK ditto's so I can improve further in my playstyle or to test how mine fares against other DK players.

Keep on smashing, Will!

Marth has a combo that goes, fast falling falling up air into a dash forward pivot fsmash. It's pretty dope and can potentially kill.

[rcola]

It used to he really hard for me to KO if I missed the ding dong percentage...thanks!

[bck]

doesnt this work without the pivot as well? it did when I was trying kt on sheik and rosa but maybe it just requires higher percents

[bck]

when i labbed this on rosa and sheik it didnt require the buffered turnaround but maybe thats only for higher percents

Tipper jab shenanigans have been a thing since brawl too lol.

[goldenbaster]

Dkwill is it possible for you to upload another video of you doing this again but with the camera pointed at your hands instead?

[MClaudeW]

@dkwill I have an interesting dk style, when do you do friendlies on twitch? Or anthers? I'd love to absorb a smudge on of your knowledge.

This was known for months now. Getting the tipper jab is the hard part.
