Template:SSB4 to SSBU changelist/Donkey Kong: Difference between revisions

*{{change|Due to the aesthetic used in ''Ultimate'', Donkey Kong's model features a more subdued color scheme. His fur appears flatter overall, while his tie features subtle detailing. His facial proportions have also been tweaked.}}

*{{change|Donkey Kong faces the foreground at an angle, instead of facing directly forward. In addition, he now faces the screen regardless of whether he's facing left or right, resulting in all of his animations being mirrored and many of them being tweaked.}}

*{{change|Up taunt has a new animation where he moves his body much less, more closely resembling how real-life {{s|wikipedia|gorillas}} beat their chests.}}

*{{change|Ledge-hanging animation has changed.}}

===Special moves===

**{{buff|The move has less lag when [[charge-cancel]]ed by [[shield]]ing (8 frames → 4), making it safer to charge. It can also be charge-canceled by jumping or spot dodging, with the same amount of lag beforehand.}}

***{{nerf|However, this lag applies to rolls out of the move as well, instead of them being immediate, making it riskier to charge-cancel by rolling.}}

**{{buff|The move reaches its full charge much faster (frame 154 → 121).}}

**{{change|The move gains damage at a different rate (2% per 14 frames → 1% per 6.77 frames). This makes it closer to other chargeable moves.}}

**{{nerf|The move no longer has a hitbox that hits behind Donkey Kong, removing its situational ability to KO off the top blast line.}}

*[[Headbutt]]:

**{{buff|The move has [[super armor]] on frames 5-14.}}

**{{buff|It has one frame less ending lag (FAF 64 → 63).}}

**{{buff|The move's loop hits connect more reliably, especially for the aerial version, which uses the [[autolink angle]] (20°/180°/180° → 366°). The grounded version's loop hits hold the opponent in place rather than knocking them back and forth.}}

**{{buff|The move has less landing lag (40 frames → 38).}}

**{{nerf|Both versions of the move deal less total damage, most significantly the aerial version (17.5% → 16% (grounded), 36% → 19% (aerial)). The grounded version deals more damage on its loop hits (1.3% → 1.4%), but less on the first hit (7% → 5%), and the aerial version has 14 hits instead of 8, but they deal drastically less damage (10% (hit 1), 5%/4% (hits 2-5), 2% (hits 6-8) → 5% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-13), 2% (hit 14)) and have inconsistent timing, only dealing full damage to opponents that are very close to Donkey Kong.}}

**{{nerf|The aerial version no longer grants intangibility on frames 3-6 upon startup.}}

**{{change|The aerial version travels a shorter distance horizontally, but also goes slightly higher overall.}}

**{{change|The aerial version has a shorter duration due to its animation being sped up (94 frames → 54).}}

*[[Hand Slap]]:

**{{buff|The grounded version has less startup lag (frame 18 → 12).}}
