If your character's gameplan involves approaching with projectiles I have no idea how to beat you.
15,100,000 GSP Donkey Kong here.
This is mostly aimed at the Marios but this is a general strategy. I know by 15.1 I should have already learned how to deal with this but I swear on my children I struggle so badly with this.
Approaching shorthop fireball which forces a shield? Get fucking grabbed, idiot.
Approaching shorthop fireball which forces a jump? Get fucking combo'd, idiot.
Roll away? probably get hit by the projectile
Roll in? probably get hit by the projectile or the opponent.
Don't even get me started on shorthop fireball into land + roll behind grab. Every single Elite mario does it and I get grabbed and combo'd to death every. fucking. time. Totally my fault too because I know it's coming, I just feel like my character has so few options to deal with it.
I know DK sucks and I'm asking for punishment at that GSP and beyond but there's got to be something. Remember that DK has essentially no OOS option except aerial up B and if it whiffs I WILL be dying, thanks.
What do?
