This makes him very vulnerable to meteor smashes. His Up B however also breaks projectiles, outside of Fox's laser.įor recovery, Donkey Kong's up special move, Spinning Kong, travels great horizontal distance, but has poor vertical gain, with no options to extend it. Donkey Kong has good reach, which allows for decent combos despite slow attack speed, but he lacks a projectile and a reliable way to deal with them, making his approach poor and unvaried. He also has a KO throw in his back throw. Donkey Kong has a great grab and throw game due to having the longest non-tether grabbing horizontal range, terrific throw combos (especially when there are walls), and the infamous infinite throw trap that allows him to rack up damage easily and effectively. However, his attacks are generally slow and laggy, and most of his KOs still require setup.Ĭontrary to popular belief, Donkey Kong has slightly above-average dash speed (although he does have a relatively slow air speed). He also has two spikes (forward and down aerials), and he has some extremely powerful finishers, including his forward smash and Giant Punch when fully charged or close to fully charged. Like most heavyweights, Donkey Kong has attacks that deal lots of damage and have strong knockback.

However, he can take many hits and high damage before being KO'd. This means he gets hit quite easily, and he also has a poor shield cover, making him vulnerable to shield break combos such as Yoshi's Z-canceled DJC neutral aerial performed repeatedly. Donkey Kong is the heaviest and largest character in Super Smash Bros.
