About a year or two ago, there was a chart showing that DK was the least used character in official Melee tournaments. I feel that this mini DK revolution will change that
Probably because Juan has been a thrower for the last 3 years, if Juan never lost form this monkey wouldn’t be able to touch him. I’m not even an hbox fan, I just don’t lie to my self and know what really should happen in proper form
as a fellow DK main, I feel this because if someone plays you and isn't giving it their all or is having an off day or isn't that good, it robs you of necessary experience to perform at a high level which is already an uphill battle as DK
@@ericlopez5218But the issue is, if people actually tried with top tiers against DK, you wouldn't have a chance to practice since you'd be a punching bag the whole time.
@@Grimbaloo well yes if we're talking both players playing perfect TAS level gameplay, DKs toolset is worse objectively than Fox, Marth, etc.. but mindgames, mixups and neutral in general is where people have to get creative
@@bobbymcfee2974 "I just don’t lie to my self and know what really should happen in proper form" this is so condescending bro, melee isn't a solved game or anything. Sure, hbox probably threw this game. But that doesn't mean Donkey Kong can't do anything, and that every DK win is just because somebody else lost. At the highest level, fox v fox, or whatever, the player who loses is still the one who is punished optimally for the most mistakes. It's no different with DK, "if they were playing perfect there would be no shot." But nobody plays perfect, if they did then nobody would win. That's how games work, and a win is a win.
From the future. Bing using dk beat cody schwab fox. Dk's officially the best character in the entire game now. We're in the Donkey Kong Renaissance Now.
Hey Akir, i saw you doing Cargo Up throw a lot, how come not down throw? I though the the mix ups were better vs Puff (Punch, Regrab, Fair/Stomp, Nair)?
@@yurplethepurple2064 not horrible but shit lol, dk is just bullied by melee's top 15 tbh I can see how its wouldnt be the worse dk got some good punishes but the neutral is so bad for him and jiggs is all about thoses neutral wins
DK just doesn't have anything better to do off grab against Puff Uthrow almost never true combos into anything, but bthrow, dthrow, and your other cargo throws also don't lead into anything (barring dthrow fair and dthrow punch cheese if she holds in at high %) Best you can usually do is uthrow, pray they miss the buffer tap jump out, and try to shark with uair
@@jasonlobo2350 After you asked me I wasn't sure bc I've played like 10 sets against DK max but according to ssbwiki "Kong Karry" is his forward throw and then out of it you can do each directional throw.
It is messed up for playing as one the lightest characters in this game! Unlike Pichu, Jigglypuff can still died easily depending on how much can you survive without getting Ko!
you were more upset about this set than Hbox lol
I love how upset akir is at hbox's play 😂
He wanted to play Hbox at his best
20DK HAS NOW BEGUN
What an era!!
10:05 impeccable DK impression, very impressive

Less than Pichu, Mewtwo, Ness? Seems doubtful
@@peregrinecovington4138seriously less than mewtwo ness pichu
Getting upset that Hbox is not playing at his strongest is very Goku-core

The only guy ive ever seen 4-0 hbox lmao
"One of Melee's GOATs Lost to WHAT????"
Another one of Melee's GOATs. 👑
"This is like Bluetooth headset hbox" 😂😂😂
ok but how will this affect Armada's legacy
Hbox: how did i lose to Donkey Kong???
Akir: DK...DON-KEY KONG
The worst pounds I've ever seen from any puff lol
I wish both of them were talking to each other, trash talk makes these games so much better
that is the best thumbnail ever created
Had to workshop it for a while before it was ready but I'm pretty happy with it
he's the leader of the bunch
Now let’s see the Aklo set
I wanna start a family with you
I mean uh LETS GOOO AKIR
Dk is in this game? This has got to be a mod
Love this man, leaving a comment to hopefully boost the vid a bit, keep ‘em coming 🙏🏻
He just had Genghis Juan playing for him
watched this live it was incredible, ggs
Thank you for posting this so I can see, this gives me hope that mentality is a huge factor in play, and that it’s not just a thing I can do.
this is prime multi set conditioning.

I saw recent donkey Kong tech in combo videos and I knew he was going to be a viable character to some extent
Donkey Kong makes it unorthodox and weird for your opponent, give yourself credit!
This is so funny LOL ggs, your DK play is inspiring
les fucking go lmao u carryin melee rn ma guy
That thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣
I was shaking my head watching hbox play like this too LOL
Bro wrote me a check cuz that thumbnail has me stimulated
I always knew DK was the best character in the game
It's official now.
Dk best character in the game now.
From the future.
Bing using dk beat cody schwab fox.
Dk's officially the best character in the entire game now.
We're in the Donkey Kong Renaissance Now.
GROSS.....
just gross.
That was beautiful man. I loved the DK 💜
DK… DONKEY KONG IS HERE
when one goat falls another rises
Your mistake was expecting tournament Hbox to come out in online.
-still some damn good DK play tho love the content-
Sometimes he just wants to throw it’s kinda obvious once you watch lots of coin boxes
I've never seen someone sadder to win a set lmao
y'all let this man COOK
this thumbnail goes hard
#funny
yo the goat commenting on the other goats video
He lost to Iran???
The Year of the Donk continues
Damn that was brutal
Hey Akir, i saw you doing Cargo Up throw a lot, how come not down throw? I though the the mix ups were better vs Puff (Punch, Regrab, Fair/Stomp, Nair)?
I always knew DK mains were the ultimate sigmas
That's my kong.
Your too good for this game
5 gods < Monke with tie.
tierlists mean nothing if you have already mentally defeated your opponent.
Hbox said no im the monkey
Micky Mousebox
Sick DK.
If Hbox wanted to sandbag to commentate, he should have went another character than puff
Comment for algo. What a fun run, I tuned in and saw an amazing losers run
the thumbnail is amazing 😂
Hungrybox was just full that set
Goat
Yeah a real shame Hbox played with 2 eyes closed. We want to earn it!
Hbox is so used to not having to try at all lol.
thank you
this video is sick but also who plugged in the subwoofer and where did all the furniture in the venue go
Tell me about it. I usually take off my headphones for these kinds of videos. But..not this one.
Its nuts how even with hbox playing poorly you can feel smell and taste how shit the matchup is for dk
It’s only 60-40 not horrible by dk standards
@@yurplethepurple2064 not horrible but shit lol, dk is just bullied by melee's top 15 tbh
I can see how its wouldnt be the worse dk got some good punishes but the neutral is so bad for him and jiggs is all about thoses neutral wins
@@Parpeing ehhh fair enough
beating #8 not bad gj
incredible
Common DK player W
Why is hbox input/min so much more?
Dk is very real
3 time melee champion my ass, hbox is WASHED. lost to monke. All Gods legacy are affected.
bro wtf seems like hbox wasnt even trying
Is there a vod of hbox reacting to this?

To be fair it was only online so Hbox didn’t really lose anything of value.
something tells me he doesnt play dk alot lol, nice dame
You keep up throwing into nothing
But he rarely got punished for it.
DK just doesn't have anything better to do off grab against Puff
Uthrow almost never true combos into anything, but bthrow, dthrow, and your other cargo throws also don't lead into anything (barring dthrow fair and dthrow punch cheese if she holds in at high %)

@@AkirDK Thanks for the wisdom goat, makes much more sense now. I appreciate it.
Where was armada
I ❤ DK
DK forever 👑
Some of the worst pounds ive seen from a puff lol. Feels like hbox in general wasnt respecting your DK at all
I don’t think he was taking it serious. I think he just wanted to get out of losers and just spectate/commentate the rest of the matches
@@medkatyt he chase the bag now
It's sad when a Donkey Kong player is trash talking a top 10 player.
Seeing Hbox DI in on foward throw was painful and I've veeb playing for like a year
Does dk even has an fthrow?
@@jasonlobo2350 I don't even know for certain off the top of my head lmao I've probably had like 10 sets against DK

They added ranks in melee? Much better than Ultimate gsp bs, it has no leader board
Monke
12:23 well you did play hbox
It is messed up for playing as one the lightest characters in this game! Unlike Pichu, Jigglypuff can still died easily depending on how much can you survive without getting Ko!
MAybe hbox was high af

Return to monkey 🐒
Bro you wanted hbox to win so badly
so bassy
Stop worshipping people Akir. You played better that as it.
you lost because you played the worst smash installation released- Melee.
What video do you think ur watching
Has anyone ever heard of a casual match 💀 it’s not that serious lmao
