Gut Check (ボディカウンター, Body Counter) is King K. Rool's down special move. When used, K. Rool will puff out his stomach and reflect any damage onto the opponent. It works like a counterattack and can also reflect projectiles. However, the counter hitbox is centered on K. Rool's stomach, making the rest of his body vulnerable, much like the Melee and Brawl versions of Toad.
Origin
While this move doesn't seem to have a specific origin, K. Rool is seen using his big frame to attack by bouncing on his stomach in Donkey Kong Land; this also inspired his dash attack. It could also draw inspiration from King K. Rool's immunity to front attacks in Donkey Kong Country, which is due to his belly being plated in armor.[1] The move's animation is also similar to that of some enemies in Donkey Kong Country, such as Krushas, who resist Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong's roll attacks.
Trivia
- The Smash Blog on the Ultimate website referred to this move as “Stomach Attack” (お腹を突き出, Stomach Protruding).[2]
