I don't get how people rage on DK
Like yeah, he's got some stuff, bair having no endlag, a bunch of spikes, some moves with super armor, cargo throw... but this all has pretty easy counterplay and he's huge and has an exploitable recovery and terrible disadvantage state. Even when I lose to a DK it's really hard to not just feel like I got outplayed rather than cheesed.
I say this having never really played DK, no particular loyalty to the character, just to say it feels like if you've played DK more than a handful of times you should know the way out of everything he's got and I'm not sure who in the cast would really struggle with his kit given a little practice. Maybe characters that can't really push him when he's in disadvantage but like who? Byleth maybe? I don't get it.
