Overview

DK does a slow stomping kick below himself. A pretty mediocre meteor smash due to its long startup and unimpressive knockback that makes it punishable on hit at low percent. It can be used as a tech chase starter at mid percents, but since DK is generally better at aerial combos anyway, it's usually better to go for other options.
