Has anyone heard of a DK player named Bum? He's from NYC and he supposedly has the greatest DK ever. But I can't find videos of his DK anywhere! I want to see what he does that makes him so amazing. Has anyone ever seen one of his matches? Bum knocked FORWARD out of a New York tournament and got 1st a couple weeks ago. I already knew he was good, but that's just crazy. Forward. :o I'm not on the Hub so I can't go there for matches. But I really want to see a few of his vids or something.

Not necessarily. Bum could've been beaten by KoreanDJ or Mew2King. It all depends on which of the top 3 got knocked to losers and had to fight (and beat) Bum in the round preceding Loser's Finals.

He's NYC only, he doesn't travel at all. But I think he's going to a MD/VA tourney soon.

Now everyone's going to start using DK, and he's going to be moved up the tier list like I always said he should be.

Good sheet @ Bum. I remember looking around the Atlantic North boards a while ago at Smashboards. He was ranked 15th best in the region, and he placed second to KDJ at some other fairly large (although certainly smaller than this) tournament.

I support DK's move up the tier list, as it means I have one more character I can theoretically have tier johns for.

Although I do somewhat doubt this will mean a huge increase in DK players. You could say he will end up like BS, but BS had vids that came out fairly shortly after his great showing - if vids are released it could happen I suppose (they are MLG's vids after all), but other stuff has happened to other characters (Wobbles for ICs comes to mind) and for the most part there hasn't been a huge increase in the number of IC players.

Until I see vids, I'm going to remain skeptical over the the overall outcome of Bum's recent success. For all we know, he just might be an amazing player that uses DK - sorta like Chu using Pichu at tournaments in MD/VA not so long ago and consistently placing 1st/2nd. Sure people were excited to see Pichu's "potential unleashed" but they soon released that Chu was the player, and that CHu > many.

My 2 cents.

Edit: As I said "OMG 2GUD @ Bum". I'm not trying to lessen his acheivement, just being skeptical over the long term consequences.

I'll most likely never pick up DK, He doesn't fit my style, can't be too flashy with him from what I've seen. But I have been gravitating from the flashy over mindgames style of my play as of late. Mindgames PWN Tech Skill, it took long enough but I finally figured that out. Still, I'll try to be flashy+Smart, can't abandon my roots completely. yacht, but back to bum, the cats crazy if he second best in NYC, and strictly uses DK, what's next, a unstoppable Ness main ?!

I'm sorry JS, your like the only flashy DK I've seen, yours is pretty cool IMO. Those vids were pretty fun to watch all the craziness you were doing with DK.

:D thanks. I got some good feedback from the DK boards on smashboards as well. Lots of people say I have a weird style but they liked it. I have to become more fluent with my grab combos though. I get them every time on flux, but was having trouble with aaron.

yacht Sparrow pretty much pwns me with his DK most of the time, unless I am really on... But he is very flashy and pulls off some insane poop, he is so comfortable with him now it's crazy!

After all I have read, I would almost have to guess Bum would take that match...
