Let's Make Moves Miami - ChunkyKong (Donkey Kong) Vs. ApolloKage (Snake) SSBU Ultimate Tournament

[@Yac0b]

Mad respect to the king of the kong, great run !

[@zyxer3610]

Chunky is too dam good

[@kalikeliihoomalu1661]

Fuckin love chunkykong great to finally see him at a major

[@ZumaZoom07]

The reason I play DK today is because he was a legit counter to Snake AND Metaknight (arguably the best two) back in Brawl with his invincibility frames and giant punch. I really wish they let him keep his frame one invincibility on aerial up special. Idk why they chose to remove it 😢

[@NFYT]

wdym why thats busted, frame 1 invencibility for that giant ass recovery, not even marth he has frame 1 invencibility, but his up B is small

[@duka9x878]

Taking a game in an unwinnable matchup. Respect!

[@TECTONICSMASH]

It's a lot easier to beat snake when you start on a stage where you have a 30% kill confirm window from a grab anywhere on the stage lmao

[@chachawho435]

@@TECTONICSMASH I've literally been saying this lol. Dk on any stage with platforms is a fucking menace.

[@mikeshockinggentspence8714]

This is not unwinnable 💀

[@vince615]

It’s an unwinnable matchup sure but donkey Kong is an east character to take fast stocks and snake disadvantage is awful. Once apollo adapted it was no contest.

[@xxwallzxx4509]

He did great. He managed to play around projectiles a lot. I have now seen him perfect shield and also move around them like an obstacle course. He did great. Btw.. not an unwinnable matchup. DK has no unwinnable matchups. Some may be more on the opponent's favor. But not unwinnable. DK can manage any matchup. 👍 Edit: Not sure why everyone always thinks that projectiles may be hard obstacles to make matchups impossible. I can understand Steve. He makes blocking and stuff. But patience and knowing your way around it is not impossible either. Especially if you figured it all out for your character. In which goes into studying and practicing if that is your hard thing to get around. Just practice. But it also goes with projectiles. I understand that there are games that make it near impossible. Which is true. There is Marvel vs Capcom with Magneto vs Mayor. Can be done. But is extremely tough to get around. But Smash isn't one of those games. Even the slow moving Ganondorf can win against them if the player knows around it and knows how to deal with it. Just saying. DK can as well. He is a heavy and can get juggled. But not impossible to get by some situations as others are more true. The only problem is his recovery. Now Smash players know. Smash isn't a hard matchup when it comes to projectiles. That is how I feel. But then again. I don't mind projectiles as it doesn't bother me much. Yes, I will get hit and you have to make your way through some stuff. But still doesn't bother me as I can make a way.

[@Nicomartz52]

Mii gunner?

[@CitizenKen01]

Minor nitpick, 4:47 Chunky went for a grab not a dash attack. Chucky could have clashed with Snakes up tilt if it was a dash attack but the grab attempt left him vulnerable to lose the stock. Chucky knew a grab would ko Snake off stage at the percent which is why he did exactly that with the next stock. Lol

[@netowgtz]

Very well played from chunky, besto kong

[@intention21]

There should be a projectile defense for heavies. Like how bowser has boss armor for those consecutive melee hits. Donkey Kong gets bopped by small characters for beings so big and is easy to hit. He does well but some characters are just stronger

[@stankyleg6535]

Super hype snake be like: B But actually i was rooting for Chunky here. Sucks that even he can't deal with Snakes

[@travisowens8905]

i would be surprised if the kong i fought in the arena with the same name was the same as this one. was a really good partner in doubles but i think he was just using the title.

[@shoopoopie1]

wasn’t chucky kong going be a different name a few months ago? lol

[@A_Shut-in_NEET]

Chunky might have actually won if snake was not getting saved by his grenades before the dk up air connected. Prevented death from that at least 5 times

[@Dougie02]

Chunky would've lost even Harder If apollokage actually camped 🏕 😳. Chunky Kong doesn't approaches even when down a stock. Apollokage is a very Argo snake.

apollokage looks like a nightmare to play against. not cuz hes good but because just watching his snake gameplay makes me suicidal

[@bobert555555]

Snake, Sonic, and Steve are the Trifecta of “I’ll literally spend the whole match running away from you”. So boring to watch.

[@doctordice2doctordice210]

Wtf are you even talking about? Apollokage tried approaching he just doesn’t want to be in DK’s grab range for obvious reasons lmfao

[@goe5]

Snake does very well when given space. Konky needed to be more in his face, but still fought valiantly ❤︎🥹

[@STNJ_YT]

Chunky has ego mistakes. If you notice he will get counter picked on a stage, get pooped on, and he insists on going back to the stage he just got dumpstered on because he wants to run it back and win. Wish hed just take the L and go to a stage he isnt disadvantaged at

[@carmelair-head8008]

I think it’s funny how snake players think they’re gods when all they do is throw projectiles and think they’re good lol

[@Stunliss]

I mean tbh the high level snakes are pretty swaggy with their c4 set ups, but grenade spam in neutral will always make me vomit

[@ramziyanez4278]

in the snake vs dk matchup all dk needs are 3 openings and the stock is taken. ideally grabs. dk will live until 150+ every stock basically too bc its all chip dmg for the most part. AK's mixup neutral grenade + c4 placement is definitely spammy but its really well executed. its also not as effective as it appears. its the explosions to be worried about not the grenades themselves so timing all of the explosions to be in important positions around the stage in relation to you and the opponent can be difficult. the grenade spam is also super necessary bc once dk gets in, he can destroy snake, especially with a proper edgeguard and ledge trap. if snake plays anywhere near perfect he should 3 stock DK but unfortunately its definitely not that easy and with so many explosions and scenarios snake will definitely mess up a lot. one bad line of judgments from snake and your stock is gone and you have to approach now. snake should win on paper but its not crazy for dk to perform well.

[@ramziyanez4278]

if the opponent is good, they will start reading all of your patterns and once you know what snake will do, hes very easy to counter. in that regard, you gotta give props to AK for having so many tricks and patterns and scenarios up his sleeve so that hes hard to read. thats the problem with a lot of snakes is that they do very well the first two stocks then become so predictable that they flub the rest.
