Become the king of the jungle with Izaw’s “Art of Donkey Kong” guide for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

He’s covered the self-styled King of Dreamland, the Koopa King and Hyrule’s King of Evil — now it’s time for Izaw to cover Smash 4’s King of the Jungle. As part of his “Art of” guide series, Izaw has turned his attention to Mario’s long-time rival and banana fanatic, Donkey Kong. Famous for his “Ding Dong” kill confirm, one of the best back-airs in the game and an abysmal disadvantage state, DK has carved out a niche in the Smash 4 meta as the game’s resident grappler.

While he seems basic at first — grab enemy, throw enemy, rinse and repeat — DK has plenty of tricks to pile on the pain. From his tipper jab to grab, pratfall setups with his nair and footstool combos using either grounded or aerial cargo throw, this simian can guarantee some gnarly damage whenever he gets his mitts on you. The main issue with DK is that he sucks at getting back down to the ground or back on stage safely. He has the worst ledge options in the game and his large hitbox means it is nigh-on impossible to land without taking heavy damage.

Even with his glaring flaws, DK can be a super fun character to play and one that has the potential to do well in tournament, as seen through players like Konga, Tweek and Larry Lurr.

Prepare for Turtlemania with the February patch notes for Injustice 2

Following yesterday’s Turtle-tastic livestream which showed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in action, NetherRealm have released the official patch notes for Injustice 2‘s February patch. Besides the obvious big addition, this patch will change up a decent portion of the cast, with Gorilla Grodd, Poison Ivy, and Sub-Zero getting some buffs while Catwoman has been smashed with the nerf bat.

Stampede canceling with Grodd is now much easier, with players being able to cancel out of the run using the Flip Stance button. Poison Ivy’s Bed of Thorns has seen a substantial buff, with it doing increased base damage and hurting those who ever try to jump out of it, while Sub-Zero’s Ice Blast comes out a little faster. The Lin Kuei Grandmaster has also seen a slight improvement to his Ice Blade too.

As for Catwoman, she’s finally been declawed by NetherRealm. Her combos now have increased damage scaling, many of her wallbounce combos now result in hard knockdowns and her Tail Spin has seen a slight range reduction. Expect Catwoman mains licking their wounds once the patch comes out on February 13th.

Dragon Ball FighterZ roundup: 2H speeds, Beerus setplay, desk’s 1-handed combos, and more!

Well, you did it! And I’m not just talking about destroying our tipline with videos — Dragon Ball FighterZ made it to Evo. This was likely a foregone conclusion in many people’s minds (and why wouldn’t it be, given its success?), but it’s nice to have confirmation.

Let’s see what the community sent in today!

BornFree wants to signal boost the fact that not all 2H’s are created equal: an important fact for those trying to react to Super Dashes.

rooflemonger found the lack of scaling on Chiaotzu’s super — that should have been a hint that a Tien combo video wasn’t far off!

GLHFtv‘s breakdown of Goku Black is both useful for new players and a good primer for those trying to fight against the pink-haired antagonist.

Every Nappa combo video that shows off multi-saibaman plants in one combo is worth watching. Thanks, Persona Entertainment!

sikshot gaming shows off some blockstrings you need to be aware of when fighting Cell.

Sukairefurai has some setplay concepts for the God of Destruction, Beerus.

Brian Kasugano shows off big, flashy, non-practical damage in his first multi-character combo video.

desk injuried his hand — and it’s still not enough to keep him from submitting 100% damage combos.

And closing us out is Warui Neko-kun‘s Android 21 assistless corner combos.

As always, if you see anything worth sharing, let us know by submitting a tip for our next roundup. Thanks everyone!
