OCTOBER 2023 UPDATE: • The Greatest DK Run of...
In the mid-2010s, Donkey Kong was seen as a mediocre character in the competitive landscape of Super Smash Bros. Melee. Now, multiple Kongs are threatening the game's highest level players. Will 2023 be the year of the ape, or is Donkey Kong just a load of hogwash?
I reached out to some of the world's finest Melee DK's to learn just why, of all times, the DK era is happening right now in 2023. This is what I learned.

This video was a 2+ month project initially meant to be a lighter reprieve from my previous video. Then, the Donkey Kong players started going on deep tournament runs, and soon I found myself awash in the surprisingly deep world of Melee Donkey Kong.

Akir made a great point when he called out people blaming DK only succeeding because of unfamiliarity or cheese. It's just a cop out to protect ego at the end of the day. DK isn't some new patched in character. He's been in the game for 20 years. The truth is when you lose to a DK it's because you aren't taking it serious enough to prepare for it or you're doing things against DK that's leaving you too vulnerable and you need to break those habits. That's why Leffen went from laughing on stream at the idea of losing to DK to being 0-2 versus Ringler and having to switch to Sheik and still only won by the skin of his teeth. Regardless of a character's tier, you better be ready for them because a good enough player with them is going to humble you fast.
@wusstunes
@wusstunes 9 месяцев назад
He actually laughed on stream after to be fair! Good points being made though. It's a two player game at the end of the day, even if your character is really good at making it into a one player game sometimes.

Its a pretty valid point tho, a dk player with 10000hours has 1000s of hours in the fox/falco/marth/shiek matchups but a top tier main with 10000 hours has like maximum 100 hours in the DK matchup. Mid/low tier one tricks have that massive advantage on their side. Just look at the Bobby match, he legit thought its a true chain grab.

"Donkey Kong isn't here to punish us, or save us, but to help us weather the storm." Love this quote. Melee will forever be a game built from the foundation of the grassroot scene and the love of the game. So in our time of need, when everything is seemingly crumbling down around us, DK is there to remind us where we came from and the genuine love we have for a game more then 20 years old.

Great watch. The end hit me hard because its true. DK is comforting as a character. When my dad died of cancer when I was 11 I was depressed and closed off. The first game I played after my Dad's passing was DK64. I love that game flaws and all. Something about the Kongs was soothing and helped me grieve. I always played DK in every smash game. I didn't care if I lost I still had fun because I always loved DK. Thank you for this.

Rlly happy that u covered a little bit of the European scene. Lots of smash docs I’ve seen tend to ignore what happens outside of North America and it’s nice to see both acknowledgment and respect for the players outside of that region. In general though the way you explain how all these small communities connect to each other and interact is brilliant and really shines a spotlight on what makes playing and discussing comp melee so much fun. The whole documentary is a bonafide celebration of their accomplishments. Enviable work here, excellent video.

HOWEVER, there is a certain flow state you reach when you play enough bowser, where you understand how limited he is and only play to his strengths, vs. someone who doesn't realize the bowser does have one or two clean techs up is sleeve that really demonstrates how much of a knowledge game melee really is. Am I saying that bowser is some hidden top tier that just needs to be unlocked? Hell no. Probs never will be. But seeing him move at all on the tierlist will be fascinating to watch as more and more people look into the lower tiers with the intention to unlock as much potential as they can ^-^

The transformation between Green Ranger and Da is actually insane. The DK that started it all vs the current, most underrated DK I have ever seen and it was so beautiful to see. Watching Ringer play in Mainstage almost made switch from Roy to DK and I'm still considering that. DK just looks so badass to play, gives a middle finger to anyone that doesn't know how to fight against the monke.

I never felt like what was on screen was distracting from what was being said.

This video was really good and It want me to share my history as, for the moment, the best spanish dk ñ, ranked 7th in Spain (which isnt actually too good, we are not very talented xD). So i entered the comunity, i think It was on 2006, with 8 years, and quickly go first Falcon main, then marth main. On 2015 i was like 5th on my subregion at the time, Barcelona, and like 20 on Spain aprox with marth. And then i had to play k12, a samus player. My brother played samus all time so i had the mu experienced freshed and i actually did really good against very good samuses. But he didnt pick samus, he picked DONKEY KONG. He had changed mains for some mu, and marth was one of them. He destoyed me in a very fun way, and i was impresed. So i tried to pull dk as a joke too, It was funny and quirky, but i still mained marth. But slowly, as more time passed and i started to play more dk, my dk was caching my marth and i was starting to go dk against sheik, and It was working somehow. On 2018 i actually went full dk and changed my tag, from iu2king to iudking, making the DK joke instead of the mew2king joke. I actually labbed dk, at first i thaught i could get 2nd in Spain and that the character was good enough to maybe get some wins against low profile top 100. On pandemic i actually played a lot, i moved regions and in this region where i'm now, valencia, we are pretty actives, so i started labbing a lot. Rn i'm the best in valencia, kinda at the same level as the 2nd here, and i'm 7th in spain, and i want to get better. Now, seeing all that happened recently and having more general knowledge, i feel that the only mu that might be imposible for dk on top level might be a really good puff, like hbox, so i think solo dk is actually a character that, in the right hands, could win a Major. I'm really optimistic, not only on myself, but on the character, i have no doubts on it

I think this is the greatest part of melee that I don’t see as much in other competitive video games. The heart. Melee has always been grassroots and linked community and to see such as optimized and oppressive game becoming so diverse and meta changing after 20 years because people refused to give up on their favorite characters. It’s just such an optimistic and hopeful reality. I think that’s why DK is so special as he represents the heart of melee, and like melee he’ll be there for us to weather this storm.

Great vid, well put together on all fronts, but I gotta say some of the visual gags and editing was absolutely top tier. You made this funny as hell throughout your own commentary but left good breathing room for stories take the space they need, very well done.

It genuinely excites me to see changes in Melee even after all this time. And other than Falcon, DK is the only character from Melee that I would consider a main in the other Smash games, so it kind of makes me want to finally pick up Melee and give this character a shot and see if the game finally clicks with me.

@mattdellapenna6668
@mattdellapenna6668 Год назад
epic video. looking forward to more monke in years to come. i think one of the cooler things about melee’s current accessible state is that it allows for more people to push low and mid tiers, much to top tier enthusiasts dismay. and now with slippi ranked it discourages insta quits and forces people to actually play a set. the results are often humbling. GL HF to all attempting to push the underrepresented

@ByrneBaby

This is wild to me. The more I think about it, the more strong the ape seems to the meta. He basically has both a knee AND rest in fair and giant punch, and then both good recovery mixups and good ground speed, while the other aerials, tilts, and smash attacks all have very applicable, viable uses... He's basically just a mid-ground option between Puff and Falcon, and when you think about how Puff and Falcon apply their greatest strengths and how DK is a more average fusion between those strengths... The DK mains are going places with him. The amount of doubters will slowly decrease over time like with Yoshi simply because the mains will prove how great his kit really is.

Smash Melee despite looking stale from outside has to be more alive, ever shifting meta. We went from Puff getting considered S tier, to now Axe's Pikachu and especially aMSa's Yoshi being considered viable. And now we may see DK becoming this character. The question is, will we eventually see near all characters go to Godhood and showing how diverse Melee's meta is?
