Donkey Kong: Difference between revisions

Donkey Kong makes his first appearance in a fighting game as a starting playable character in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' His design is based on his appearance from ''Donkey Kong Country''. DK is surprisingly fast for his size and, damage-wise, is one of the strongest and sturdiest characters in the game. His [[neutral special move]] is [[Giant Punch]], which becomes stronger depending on how long the player lets DK charge it before using it. His [[up special]] is [[Spinning Kong]], which causes DK to spin around wildly with his arms striking anyone nearby. His [[down special move]] is [[Hand Slap]], which allows DK to pound the ground with his fists repeatedly creating a small earthquake. However, his high weight, lack of projectiles, and slow attack speed result in him being very easily susceptible to combos and struggling to catch up to faster and longer-ranged characters. As a result, he is ranked 9th out of 12 on the current [[tier list]].
