All aboard the Nair train, we’re headin’ to the blast zone.

[@blahtest]

Beautiful fair offstage at the end

[@RememberThe67Pikmin]

Truly a work of art 🖼️

[@WHizzSSB]

Hes integrating dk nair into the masses with every short

[@davidabrahamrubiomaldonado2240]

See you the other day struggling on this match until you learn about the n-air, love how you evolve on this character and love you watching playing it

[@fallen_whimmy]

And this is proof that understanding your character to thr fullest is more important than just picking a toptier

[@venomoussound5050]

Watching bro improve while i already think hes the 🐐 wilf experience keep it up my man

[@josephblight9421]

I saw the thumbnail and assumed this was bobby and didn't see it was ultimate. I was so confused for like 2 seconds lmao

[@IkerTG]

Why is every clip i get from this guy vs a sheik xd

[@warhead9095]

I wonder if mythra would be a Nair MU 🤔 what do you think?

[@DKwill]

Very possible! I sort of started trying it last night. N-air as a bait, then shield, then roll forward when she tries to run in and dash grab. This way you get behind her and she's whiffing a grab, leaving her open for a punish.

[@mimirk3052]

"This *points to a picture of DK doing nair on sheik*" "This is beautiful"

[@shroyanlatchison5080]

Damn

[@isaigonzalez60]

Yeah 🗣🔥

[@dudewswaggames]

Does anyone know what controller will uses? I need a new one and I'd prefer it to be a gamecube controller. Just wondering if he uses a specific type...

[@DKwill]

It's an official Nintendo Smash logo GameCube controller! Difference is I have lubed triggers, a horizontal and vertical snapback capacitor, and a tactile Z button.

[@dudewswaggames]

@@DKwill did you get all that custom done? Would you be able to give me some pointers to get the same thing?

[@DKwill]

@@dudewswaggames I feel like any controller modder should be able to do this kinda stuff as it's all fairly common nowadays! Definitely had it done for me. Should generally cost around $100 or so if you're including the cost of a new controller.

[@dudewswaggames]

@@DKwill thank you so much!

[@chefgoldblum1450]

How do you make those nairs always so safe on shield?

[@DKwill]

It's an autocancel! N-air is DK's best and easiest move for this. It cancels like that as soon as the hitbox is no longer active. Just takes a little practice, good spacing and fastfall timing. Reverse autocancel n-air can be as good as -2 on shield against short characters I believe.

[@AndreasSaag]

If it’s just a base move that was the answer all along how come it took 6 years to find it? (Genuine question)

[@DKwill]

Because there are hardly any good Sheik players. It was between Swift and WebbJP and luckily they stuck around long enough for me to figure it out. And tbh this new strat I've been using also works against Joker, another matchup I've struggled pretty hard with. Their frame data is too fast for DK to keep up with normally. But by abusing the auto cancel frames and shield safety of short hop fastfall n-air you can just barely put on enough pressure to keep up in neutral. It took me being overwhelmed and trying every strategy under the sun to figure out that baiting and putting on fake pressure with a lingering hitbox like n-air is the only way to keep up with their speed and frame data.

[@AndreasSaag]

@@DKwill cool 😎 amazing in depth explanation!

[@kevinvalencia4031]

U play very predictable

[@DKwill]

I sessioned against this Sheik for 6 hours trying all different playstyles. Turns out focusing on n-air in neutral is what works best vs Sheik and that's what I'm showcasing here.
