He was first shown very briefly at the [[E3]] 2007 press conference. Rather than utilizing the recycled animal sounds from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' or being voiced by Grant Kirkhope or Takashi Nagasako (who voiced Donkey Kong starting with ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Power Tennis}}''), Donkey Kong now uses modified tiger sounds sourced from the ''The Best of Saul Zaents Film Center'' CD included with Sound Ideas' ''Amadeus Sound Library''. | ||
Donkey Kong is currently ranked 21st out of 38 on the [[tier list]] in the Mid tier. This is an improvement over his ranking in ''[[Melee]]'', where he is ranked 16th out of 26 in the lower mid tier. Donkey Kong possesses a combination of incredible power with many great finishers (especially in his [[smash attack]]s), and incredible [[reach]] in his attacks. Along with this power and reach combination, Donkey Kong possesses above average movement with remarkably good mobility for a character of his size, and many fast attacks (such as his [[back aerial]] and [[tilt]]s). Additionally, Donkey Kong possesses by far the greatest horizontal endurance with his great [[weight]] and [[Spinning Kong]] [[momentum cancelling#Horizontal momentum cancelling|momentum cancelling]], as well as one of the strongest vertical endurances, and a [[recovery]] that gains great horizontal distance while protecting Donkey Kong, making Donkey Kong one of the hardest characters to KO. Donkey Kong's incredible weight is a double-edged sword, however; while it makes him incredibly difficult to KO, it also makes him incredibly easy to [[combo]], [[juggle]], and [[chain throw]], including making him vulnerable to [[infinite]] and zero to death chain throws (most notoriously from {{SSBB|King Dedede}}). Additional problems of Donkey Kong include most of his attacks having heavy ending [[lag]] (making it easy to [[punish]] most of his attacks if he misses), being very vulnerable to [[meteor smash]] gimps due to his recovery gaining much less vertical distance, his [[shield]] being too small for a character of his size leaving him heavily vulnerable to [[shield stabbing]], and lacking a [[projectile]], which when combined with his very large size and aforementioned shield issues, gives Donkey Kong severe issues dealing with [[camp]]ing. While his [[roll]]s and [[air dodge]] are about average, his [[sidestep]] is the second slowest, after {{SSBB|Bowser}}. Overall, Donkey Kong has decidedly poor [[matchup]]s while being [[counter (matchup)|countered]] by the majority of top and high tier (and is also hard countered by two, but Donkey Kong also hard counters three), and has achieved average [[tournament]] results. | Donkey Kong is currently ranked 21st out of 38 on the [[tier list]] in the Mid tier.
