Again, mash the special and attack buttons to go higher

don't forget you can also press the jump button to jump
when you release the jump button you will stop jumping

No kidding Sherlock

Bagriel was just teaching the dude how to do it. The latter didn't know about that.

Chill wtf.

I was not mocking the explanation on DK’s up special.
The kong cyclone going higher with mashing is unique and new, even for Smash.

You know, it is actually kind of ridiculous that Donkey Kong's Up Special even requires mashing to get any verticality in the first place. The mechanic just seems completely counterintuitive to what it achieves, especially when you consider that most players won't even know that it's a mechanic in the first place.

If the next patch rolls around and this mechanic is still there, I'd rather just call for its removal and the increase of DK's vertical height gained by up special to be equivalent to or slightly lower than the maximum he can gain from mashing. If it's not there anymore, then that will be a more positive change.

How is removing versatility and a majority of control for a recovery move a good thing again?

I prefer DK's current up special since you have more control over it and how high it goes.
I wouldn't want a change like that.
