Kongo Saga - T1 | Larry Lurr (Wolf) Vs Konga (DK) Winners Pools - Smash Ultimate

[@seanqwe100]

I'm happy konga is back

[@theunofficialfpsbalancetea5915]

Konga definitely has one of if not the highest dk potential. He's definitely rusty tho gotta keep playing and believe in the character and himself

Commentator: “That’s gonna be annoying to recover from” Larry Lurr: “Well yes, but actually no”

[@200zero]

Give DK a vertical recovery buff and he's perfect

[@antiallison7321]

He's still massive tho too easy to get comboed.

[@200zero]

allison yeah he's gotta have some downfalls to be balanced but when he gets that momentum and touches you it's kinda over lol

[@pepperjack5225]

dk's biggest weakness is his disadvantage state. if spinnink kong had a faster startup, higher mobility, and slightly bigger hitboxes, he could use it to combobreak or more easily escape juggles and ledgetraps.

[@pepperjack5225]

@dregz mcgee i meant ASK, not GSK. Also, Baiting out bowser up b is really easy, and you can punish with whatever you want.

[@elmarciano6095]

@@antiallison7321 That would not happen so easily if, for example, their neutral air make the hitboxes 30% larger and with a start up lag that is 4 frames and not 10 and that the strong hitbox lasts 2/3 and not 1 / 3 so intercepting air assaults relatively easily would remove those who catch him in combos and would think twice about how to attack him and the problem with the projectiles could be solved to a certain extent if his up B on the ground can repel projectiles and that even if he collides with whatever it is don't stop and increase the damage to your tilts and jabs by 40% seriously he's a heavy character and his tilts are weak

[@tensixtag9265]

DK got that 0 to death to end the second game.

[@Marvin-zf1fi]

Haven’t see Kongo in so long omg

[@dahuterschuter]

Dude is that toph commentating Ult?

[@richarde.9411]

Go Konga ! Love your style !

[@yoetattoos1908]

Anyone knows konga social medias?

[@HoodBodega]

Both players did great, glad Konga’s back.

[@skiboutins]

Am I the only one that thinks konga didnt do very well this set? He was so predictable with his ledge getup options and his tech options too.

[@Bamblagram]

That’s because DK has some of the worst ledge recovery options in the game. Both his roll and neutral get up are extremely slow, his get up attack has good range but can easily be punished if shielded. Jumping from ledge is also suicide, because DK does not fall fast and has very low aerial mobility, with an extremely slow fair. A good player playing an aggressive character like wolf, joker, falcon, etc. can easily lock DK out of the stage. That’s why DK is low tier.

[@skiboutins]

Modal Soul i understand that, but that doesnt mean konga is off the hook. He neutral getuped and got ftilted 3 times before he rolled from ledge once. And there were just a lot of stray inputs that got him send offstage. I do applaud his use of down b, which i haven’t seen much, but otherwise i think he needs to refine his gameplay a bit.

[@faded9581]

@@skiboutins Ledge Roll is a notoriously bad option and he likely would have gotten punished much harder had he rolled, as Larry had the spacing and timing to up smash had he chosen roll. The above comment explains why jump was unwise.

[@jorgeabaezp9365]

Dunno.. I actually think konga was doing good but larry's preassure got the best of him... DKs recovery is pretty ass. Easy to get a spike from above if DK is low nuff

[@jacob_p5866]

What? DK has terrible ledge roll you can’t just jump off ledge or roll like at locals. Larry is mad ready.

[@PepsiPepe]

KONGAAAAAAAA

[@davidtalero2874]

I just realized if this were smash 4 dk wolf could've died to that ding dong

[@JanitorMusician]

i never knew how to do that technique at 3:44 where DK drops off the ledge and reverse charge punch and bair onto stage, i seen a guide but it didn't work for me. seeing this again got me into the training room where i figured out what i was doing wrong. before I was trying to drop off ledge by pressing away then id return my control stick to neutral and hit away again and b immediately after to reverse charge but id never make it onto the stage not even close. but i realize now when you hit away to drop off the ledge you can immediately hit b after and he will start reverse charging punch way earlier and you can make it back to stage with a bair if you do the inputs super fast. this is unreal ! so happy i randomly watched this set again xD

3:48 joe rogan commentating smash

[@thegamingguy1]

Ayo let's go Toph

[@Chief8]

i thought that was Toph!

[@thegamingguy1]

His knowledge on commentary is actually second to none, he's much better than the usual ultimate comms imo

[@Qrytics]

From avatar? Lmao

[@nuttymcsquirrel]

Konga got like 3 grabs at kill % that last stock. Someone needs to show this man forward throw

[@Melvonathan]

Commentator's curse, the set.

[@Turnpost2552]

As Wolf main this is really hard as Samus main easy as pie. Funny how things work.

[@mpower1732]

Konga is the best DK. There is no question.

[@mosalhusari]

Matthew Mosca no not anymore

[@mosalhusari]

Matthew Mosca technically nairo is best dk

[@mosalhusari]

Matthew Mosca but like other than that there’s a lot of other dks out there that okay way better like Konga wasn’t even edgeguarding

[@manligi9701]

@@mosalhusari How is nairo the best dk?

[@mosalhusari]

Man Li Gi he’s a way better player he does way better like go watch his dk vs samsora peach in bracket other dks would just get bodied hard

[@bz6398]

Played against Konga years ago, admittingly I might have sounded salty but I still stick to my original statement that he was a solid player but ding dong carried him hard. Around the time everyone in the area was talking about him and getting him to rep the area for higher tourneys. This clip kind of shows that my statement being true. Great player, good person, but definitely lacking after they essentially took out ding dong from smash 4.

[@lmao2302]

DK is significantly worse in this game.

[@yatostar_4126]

Good work Larry!

[@ixymogun8052]

That first game finish 🙏🙏🙏

[@MrLedify]

Konga's back bitch!

[@kam3766]

Konga claps

[@deanchu1784]

HES BACK!!!!

[@cappsbriley]

That ledgetrapping tho...

[@conceptvague5708]

I always felt like DK needed a better nair

[@limepie3801]

Luckily it's not as bad since it got buffed

[@voidshard4053]

So is this tournament organized by konga or something?

[@fioree2532]

Morris Smit tbh idk

[@erickdiaz2230]

Nope

[@Psytheslasher]

No its organized by 2gg kongo saga was the dk rep theme

[@robertohernandez4063]

I just thought of this. Why does wolf have claw attacks, he's not a cat, he's a WOLF they bite not claw 🐺🤔

[@Thecrimsonchin0]

Roberto Hernandez we don’t have tome for your analytics

[@flamefusion8963]

Wolves have claws too lol

[@Turnpost2552]

Wolf has alot more class, to bite random people

[@musicimusthave]

wow gj wolf awwooooo

[@milesjones6303]

As a wolf main i can see that he needs to use up smash as wolf more. There was several times when he couldve upsmashed but instead the dk lived insanely late

[@bennywarren9870]

He's been playing Falco too long. He doesn't remember that up smash exist

[@milesjones6303]

Benny Warren haha true

[@bennywarren9870]

@Slip Magoo you cared enough to come in here with your unnecessary response.

[@gabetv6280]

no one cares

[@faded9581]

I disagree. Up Smash is a highly commital option and had he miscalculated, the explosive DK could have taken his stock for the one error. It made more sense to cautiously rack up damage and safely secure the KO against a heavyweight.

[@shortyshawty]

Platforms are just so harsh for DK eeek

[@grapeeggplant3863]

Konga in the kongo saga

[@Yokai_Yuri]

I know DK is a heavy and all but Jesus...Wolf really needs to put a lot of work into killing someone if he is not using Bair or a random downsmash.

[@Sean-fz8if]

Meh bair and dsmash give him good killing

[@PremixedDoge]

Wolf really does have a hard time killing. He has all the power but no setups like fox nair into up smash. It makes it to where you are forced to fish for kill instead of getting them consistently. I stopped playing him because of that

[@faded9581]

@@PremixedDoge Fair -> bair? Back throw? Up air? Dash attack? Nair? If you ask me, its Larry's playstyle;at times, he is too cautious.

[@limepie3801]

Don't see how that's an issue when his ease of putting on percent is so unga bunga

[@Turnpost2552]

@@faded9581 wolf has kill options. Its the matchup with DK you have to play cautiously as you need bait and projetile dk mostly. Face face matchup with dk when he can armour is playing to his strengths.

Tamil kongas 🤭😂😂

[@DavidRamirez-vc8dr]

Wolf needs to be nerfed. Hate when simple ass characters with mo tech skill are top tier

[@limepie3801]

Top tier Wolf beats DK, big surprise :/

[@Turnpost2552]

Dude do you have an idea how hard this matchup is for wolf. It is quite hard. lol

[@NA1c158]

Okay. I'm gonna day it. I dont think too highly of most of the smash commentators. It's so bad. They just nerd over players and slam dunks instead of commentating on the match. Save the in depth analysis for at least in between matches. Also, it didnt happen in this one I dont think, but when the announcers blow out the mic, that shit is childish and is just shortening the life span of that equipment. Grow up yall.
