I know he's low tier, but I loved playing him in Melee and PM, and I'm trying to main him in 4. Try as I might though, I can't beat high tiers at all. Advice?
Give up until a new patch comes out that either buffs DK or nerfs the high tiers like Sheik. Or better yet, just stick to PM and Melee.
Say dong occasionally to make everybody realise what an unfunny pleb you are.
space bairs in neutral and then spam cargo uthrow to uair to kill them at 60 cuz rage is retarded

Don't get hit, even if you are huge.

Should I work on shield stopping for projectiles?
>tfw fighting games always devolve into spamming the same 3 moves in high level play
Change your C-stick to Attack, so you can use uptilts.
It's a stealth smash attack.
DK is mid tier in Smash 4, actually.

He is not low tier jesus fuck
He's high mid at worst
If he grabs you three times you die

DK is the best he's ever been right now, lower high tier or mid tier.
He's downright unplayable in Melee.

Don't spam Cargo UP -> Uair
Don't uair unless you intend to kill
At low percents (Not zero, at zero just bthrow for damage or something. they'll break out of cargo) You can Cargo up -> Bair -> UpB for like 40%.

Powershield them and continue running

>He can't utilt without c set to attack
Honestly that's a good enough suggestion.
OP, in general learn his combo shennanigans. Jab into grab, meaty nair into grab, Rising Bair to Bair, etc.
DK isn't that bad at all in Smash 4, and that's not even accounting for his crazy Kong Cyclone custom special. He's probably the best super heavyweight in the game.

Post patch I legit would stick with the normal Spinning Kong over Cyclone
Those cargo combos are just too tasty

UP B is invincible on frame 3, you can use it to break combos but it's risky
Doing one quick spaced Down-B rep out of dash is safe against every option but jumping and puts their shield in side-B danger zone
Doing somethign like 6-9 winds of the Giant Swing will kill earlier than full charging it, but it takes more startup and loses the super armor
B-reversed GS is AMAZING out of dash/jump back
Space with bair. You can do two bairs out of a shorthop if you do the first one quick
Meaty bair -> Up B is an airdodge frametrap offstage. The first hit of UP B can kill with rage
Dtilt has a 40% chance to trip at low percents, and can lead in to a grab for hilarious cargo combos
Cargo up -> Up air works longer if you wait until the apex of your jump to hit the Uair; it can work up to around 90%
All of your tilts and smashes have invincibility on the arms during startup, so throwing them out can be pretty safe.
Vary your timing coming back to the ledge with UP B and it becomes very hard to gimp you
sweetspot on jab can lead into stuff
REMEMBER THAT DOWN B IS REAL
Good for punishing rolls and reseting pressure
Also people underestimate standing Up B
