Donkey Kong (SSBB)/Moveset

	Move	Description	Segment		Damage	Angle	Hit Frames		BKB	KBG	WBKB	Type
Neutral attack		Does a quick cross punch and follows up with an uppercut. Certain hitboxes can jab lock.	Hit 1	Arm	4%	*	5	7	0	100	0
				Body		140
			Hit 2		6%	70	16	21	40
Forward tilt		Swats in front. Large range and fast but low knockback. DK's arm is intangible while the hitboxes are out, allowing it to be used safely against most other attacks. Has a 15% chance of tripping when angled down. Great for spacing.	Angled up		12%	*	8	11	10	100	0
			Angled side		10%
			Angled down		9%
Up tilt		Swats above his head. Fast with a good arch range. Again, DK's arm cannot be injured while the hitboxes are out.	Hand		9%	100	5	11	40	105	0
			Elbow		10%					110
			Arm		11%					115
Down tilt		Swats at his opponent's feet. This move causes opponents to trip 40% of the time. Slightly less range and similar start-up than his forward tilt, but barely any ending lag and still has long range. A great lock move at low percentages and a trip can be followed up with several other attacks.			8%	*	6	9	10	80	0
Dash attack		Skids to a halt doing a side-kick. High lag and poor shieldstun. Similar to a move from Donkey Kong 64.	Clean		11%	50	9	11	100	20	0
			Late		9%	100	12	20	0	0	120
Up smash		Claps hands above his head. Good for hitting from below a platform and a great running up smash. Both DK's arms and head cannot be hit during the middle of the attack.			18%	90	14	16	40	93	0
Down smash		Does a double back-handed punch by bringing his closed fists down 90 degrees at both sides. Very fast, great vertical knockback, and the 3rd strongest down smash in the game, after Lucario and Mr. Game & Watch.	Hands		17%	115	10	14	35	100	0
			Arms		14%	98
Forward smash		Claps hands together in front of him. The two stronger hitboxes have increased hitlag, making it easy to tell which one has connected.	Fingers		20%	*	22	23	30	94	0
			Hands		21%
			Arms		19%				18	100
			Body		18%
Neutral aerial		Spins with arms extended. Similar to the Spinning Kong, but much faster to execute.	Clean		11%	*	10	13	20	100	0
			Late		8%		14	26	10
Forward aerial		Puts fists together above his head, then does a powerful ax-handle smash. A powerful meteor smash when sweet spotted, which also causes a significant hitlag increase. Great for catching edge guarders while recovering. Looks almost exactly like his midair attack from Donkey Kong 64. The second most powerful forward aerial meteor, only surpassed by Snake's.	Windup		16%	*	25	26	20	100	0
			Clean	Hands		270	27	29	30	85
				Arms		*			50
Back aerial		Back-kicks behind him. Very fast, long ranged and strong, is an effective wall of pain	Clean		13%	*	7	8	20	100	0
			Late		8%		9	16	10
Up aerial		Headbutts above. Extremely quick, can be used to juggle at low percentages and Star KO at high percentages.			14%	90	6	9	32	90	0
Down aerial		Stomps down whilst holding his arms up in a macho pose. When this move hits, it will always meteor smash, and it is his strongest meteor smash. Has Star KO potential. Can be used on many characters by cargo down throwing, then jumping and down aerial.	Foot		16%	270	18	23	38	90	0
			Body		13%				20
Pummel		Does a slight karate chop at the enemy's neck. A fairly fast pummel.			3%	80	9	10	0	100	30
Forward throw		Regardless of the opponent's size, DK heaves the opponent onto his back, just like carrying a crate or a barrel. Can be released and regrabbed if he can react quicker, being an infinite on Lucas and Ness when turn releasing and turn grabbing. Both players gain knockback-based super armor, similar to Yoshi's double jump. Donkey Kong is unable to use his forward throw on enemies in the Subspace Emissary, making him the only character unable to use one of his standard throws for said reason. If the input for the forward throw is used, he will use his up throw instead.	Breakout		6%	*			0	100	30

			Back throw			55	15
			Up throw		7%	90	14		90	30
			Down throw		6%	28	16		65	26
Back throw		Swings his arm back and throws the opponent. A very good KO throw and it has fast start-up.			11%	40	15		60	65	0
Up throw		Swings his arm back and throws the opponent. A very good KO throw and it has fast start-up. Can combo into an up smash or up aerials at low percentages.			9%	90	14		70	50	0
Down throw		Slams the opponent into the ground with his hand. Can chain grab characters like Snake or Kirby. At low percentages, this can combo into Hand Slap and can start aerial juggles from there.			7%	*	41		60	50	0

Edge (>100%)		Climbs onto the stage and swats forward.			10%	*	38	41	0	100	110
Neutral special move	Giant Punch	DK winds up a punch which is released once the button is pressed again. Damage increases by 2% for each arm swing he pulls off before punching (with the first having no effect); if he stops charging and his head starts smoking, it'll be fully charged. The sweetspot is located at DK's elbow and is slightly more powerful than the main hitbox. When fully charged and sweetspotted on the ground, Giant Punch can KO at 46%.
