The Donkey Kong Renaissance (in Smash Ultimate)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2024
- Smash, like most fighting games, is filled with a unique roster of characters, all of which have their own set of moves, properties, and strategies to win them a match. One of Smash's most neglected archetypes, the Heavy, may be experiencing a renaissance in 2024.

It’s so cool that Hikaru Nakamura, the famous chess player, was able to pull off such excellent results with Donkey Kong!
Not that one
I love his nooby playstyle he makes some dummy smart plays
Especially with his signature technique "the dongcloud"
😂
steve being his own archetype is just perfect lol
I mean technically so is DK if you think about it.
It’s funny that Steve just plays Minecraft in a different game
@@RED_XLRnot gonna lie, I still think dk is the only true grappler (the other were mostly bruiser maybe inveroar)
Steve it’s just it’s own game as a whole
@@ZAPRST8879 Luigi is incredibly reliant on grab
Hello everyone. I'm a Donkey Kong player from Ecuador, and i wanted to say that i recently went to my first offline tournament nearly 2 months ago at an Esports arena that recently opened a few months ago in Guayaquil. I managed to make it to 3rd place out of 62 players with DK only. At one point had an entire crowd making monkey noises and cheering on me. My biggest accomplishment yet.
average DK W
@@FlareStorms Well, you're not wrong. Considering stuff like that has happened to many other DK mains in the past.
Yo dude was any of Guayaquil's top players there?
Saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨🤙
Bad netcode and car culture.... a dastardly duo
The fact is, people like to play DK and watch DK. That is going to boost his representation and therefore apparent viability.
16:50 This is actually one of the coolest reads of all time I swear
It's monke monday!!
No
its wednesday
Walt is gonna run out of characters to do videos on so he will just start making recaps of coinboxes
"Melee and its predecessor Brawl"
Lmao glad I wasn't the only one to catch that. Should've been _successor_
Acola going DK against Spargo is one of the greatest sets of all time
3:58 small correction here but the highest placing by a Donkey Kong Player ever was actually Hikaru at UFA 2022, where he got 3rd.
he meant highest placing in melee 😭😭😭
@@honathan2135 seemed unclear to me
@@Caleb-zl4wkcontext clues context clues context clues
@@Caleb-zl4wkIt's under the "Melee & Brawl" chapter of the video.
@@Caleb-zl4wk it was in a melee section
Soon the Donkey Kong renaissance in Tekken
DK rise in Melee and Ultimate. Amazing.
there are already three comments saying "babe wake up Walt uploaded" also i woke up a few minutes ago
I WAS THE FIRST
I HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING
(If you know what this is from, good on you, you’re a chad)
@@ValentinesdayghostNgl the chica line is kinda cold
VOTE FOR JUNEBUG
I haven't watched the video yet so i have no idea what this means but sure I'll vote for junebug
@@why3994 It wasn't covered in the video. This guy's talking about the Eggdog Invitational which is a big Melee Invitational happening at the end of August.
Like Summit, there's crowdfunding where you can vote in your favorite players to compete in the event. And as you can probably guess based on what OP said, Junebug is campaigning to get in.
I always knew DK was underrated. Glad to see so many reps work hard to show his potential.
Babe wake up Walt uploaded
As a melee guy I don't usually watch ultimate content but Walt you just make such good shit that I couldn't help but pay full attention
love how you sprinkled lyrics from the DK rap into the script
in France, Sirove is doing big things. I remember him going last game last stock against spargo at some events
low skill floor = the worst player is really bad
high skill floor = the worst player can hold their own on it
A good way to remember is if you say skill is out of 100% (playing perfectly) a low skill floor means the player can drop down to 0% (useless), a high skill floor means they can only drop down to 50% (at worst you can still take a stock) for example
No one plays DK for winning but they play it for fun
Yo, my boy Little mac got absolutely ignored in the archetypes, don't do my man dirty like that
"Oh fuck your tierlist, truth is only hearsay.
We're just left to D-K.
Modernity has failed us...."
3:26 i think you got melee and brawl backwards here
Maybe he meant to say successor instead of predecessor
@@chasenewberry6866 that’s what I imagine. Doesn’t impede my understanding tho I know what he meant haha
Lets see, we got sword characters... um, sword characters... sword characters...
1:16 King Dedede’s recovery is decent.
until the super armor decides to unalive itself
The best player in Ireland is a DK called wombat (ik that doesn’t sound like much but he has some really good wins on EU players)
He's the best dk player in europe by far, he has some incredible wins
Really happy to have such a talented player here
Amazing vid as always Walt. Btw, Jahzzo got second at momocon 2024 not third
Babe, wake up! Walt uploaded!
Smash Brothers: The Wrath of Kong
3:05 “Cargo Throw sets up for kills no other character could” meanwhile in the clips DK kills himself hahahhaha
11:51 what is glutonny doing😭
Glad you've covered my main big fan :)
The discovery of aerial up b out of shield was actually tier changing. That shit is legitimately really good.
We gonna act like Ult Bowser has bad movement now?
I think it's fun that DK has enough of a fanbase that multiple Smash games have dedicated player bases who are making waves in the tournament scene.
You'd think that famous Jpop singer Hikaru Utada would main Sora, but cool to see her making waves in tween pop culture and the DK meta! Hikaru has such a simple and clean DK
I fcking knew he was going to make this video 😂
3:23
Walt time traveller confirmed
8:50 That was hilarious😂
No more journeys back in time!
this is happening in melee too
Ah yes, Melee and its predecessor Brawl.
You know, I kinda wanna see a tournament in 2024 of smash ultimate going back to the release version of the game, I think it would be interesting to watch (Yes im talking about version 1.0.0, with the broken Chrom Up-B)
11:26 Jahzz0 got 2nd, not 3rd
thought this was the dk renaissance for melee
That DK is definitely not purple
How are ice climbers a swordie.
hammers have disjoint similar to swords
YEAH!!! YEAH HELL YEAH!!! WOOOOOOO
Ice Climbers are Sword Characters?
Steve may be strong, but DK... he monke
Wolf not being included as an all rounder or a sword character is a choice.
this is a dumb nitpick but chunkykong started competing in 2019, the tournaments were on challonge though so it wouldn’t show up on smashdata
13:07 DK spanking wario
Sword characters... with Steve!
I main donkey Kong haven’t watched it already liking it
Still pocket DK. He’s so fun to use.
Why the thumbnail colour change
The Donkeysaince
Bro called pac-man an all rounder
What is he then? Genuine question cuz I play pac quite frequently and his aerials and tilts make him an all rounder for me, although his specials make him who he is in most battles
he's a trapper/set-up character right?
@jaybanyan4417
While it may be common to think of Pac-Man as an "all rounder", due to his general roundness, this is not actually accurate. In reality, Pac-Man is a sector.
The geometric name for a circle with a wedge removed, like Pac-Man, is a sector. Sectors are 2D shapes formed by two circular arcs and two straight line radii, creating a closed shape. In the case of Pac-Man, the missing wedge corresponds to the portion of the circle’s circumference that has been removed.
AI be like
My boy’s all round
3:25 I know it's petty but melee is brawl's predecessor not the other way around
how is wolf not put as an all rounder 😭
ngnl reference spotted
Wolf is definitely a sword character that isn’t really a sword character but is still a sword character.
Sword character until you fight a genuine sword character lol
would Mewtwo be a "sword character if you added hurtboxes to the sword"?
I love me some DK
FYI, the tag of the player you're calling "scissor" is pronounced as Sasusoro
I’ve been saying this character is broken for years and people laughed at me for it
8:51 WAIT IS THE Cracked Aki player Hikaru the same as the DK PLAYER. If so he made the right decision.
No that’s a different guy
Great video, but can we get a video talking about Jahzo, the best Ken in the world?
Debatable with players like Takera.
@@user-be3qc7re9o I've personally heard more about Jahzo than Takera, but I'll take your word for it.
I love seeing the ding dong
14:23 IM SORRY THAT KILLED AT WHAT??
To be fair the Yoshi put down his controller
I dont get it I play slippi my first match up is donkey kong, the next day i take a break from melee and play ultimate online I kept queuing with the same Donkey Kong that I played in melee the day before...
3:24 wouldn’t melee be the predecessor?
It's Chunky and Marss fault, lol. But I'm super cool with it, Donkey Kong is fun. I'd rather play against DK than most other characters in the roster, and i respect the crap out of him when i play, i know what he's capable of.
Praise monke
🗣️🗣️NOT THAT ONE🗣️🗣️
DK at D+? That’s the only appropriate spot.
D for Dk
I’ve been saying it best super heavy in the game
I told people for years DK has been slept on but nobody listened to me. Now I’m glad Hikaru and Chunky proved people wrong especially Chunky discovering UPB oos which is amazing for 4 years people said DK has no oos options now he does and it’s viable. I hope people continue to push DK because he’s far from bottom 15!
Im not good at playing heavies but as a trapper archetype player most of the time i eat them for breakfast.
Dk players are unusually skilled 4 no reason.
Incin still gives me trouble.
DK was always good, hes not as slow as youd think and he has a lot of cheese in a game thats starting to run around cheese
Idk i think Dk and Icies are both the closest thing melee has to a trad grappler,
which hikaru?
💪🦍
DK BK
I've been calling DK underrated since launch. DK has so many tools, he has too many easy kill confirms to be a low tier.
1:07 It's not melee
Expand DONG
20 seconds in,im definitely gonna enjoy this
Also writing this to help with the algorithm
why call it "the donkey kong renaissance" tho? wusstunes had a video of that same name for melee. if youre gonna take the same name idk i feel like you should shout wusstunes out or something
Wusstunes is my friend and this title was a nod to them! Their video is linked in the cards!
How the hell is ice climbers even remotely a sword character.
Great video, I r8 8/8.
Spoilers: DK is like top 20 worldwide repped character atp i think
Dk is the best heavy btw
Small note at 14:17, but sssr's tag is pronounced as "sasusoru", not 'scissor'.
Bro didn’t even mention Neo getting upset by gamer at Goml. No respect to Ontario smash 😢
This would never have happened in NA solely because of how fast people whine and label characters as unviable
monke
"Melee's predecessor Brawl" Is this dude on crack? I also like how "Rushdown" wasn't mentioned, and Little Mac was ignored, like everyone does to him. As a peice of human garbage, I feel a spiritual connection to that underdog.
most sane little mac fan 👆👆👆
"As a peice of human garbage" same 🤝
