He also has two meteor smashes (forward and down aerials), and some extremely powerful finishers, including his forward smash and Giant Punch when fully charged or close to fully charged. Like heavyweight characters in subsequent games, Donkey Kong has attacks that deal lots of damage and have strong knockback. However, he can take many hits and high damage before being KO'd. This means he gets hit quite easily, and he also has a poor shield cover, making him vulnerable to shield break combos such as Yoshi's Z-canceled DJC neutral aerial performed repeatedly. As a result, Donkey Kong is ranked 12th in the Japanese tier list, having a losing matchup against every character in the game, especially against Kirby, which is considered to be virtually unwinnable.ĭonkey Kong using Hand Slap in the SSB instruction booklet.ĭonkey Kong is the heaviest and largest character in Super Smash Bros. Despite this, Donkey Kong was indirectly buffed in the international releases thanks to the changes to SDI system as well as the decreased shield stun. Despite his incredible endurance, his off-stage survivability is almost non-existent, as he has among the worst vertical-distanced recovery moves in the game. However, he is somewhat slow, and is also the largest character in the game, which coupled with his heavy weight makes him an easy target for combos. He also sports an infamously abusable grab release, remarkable reach throughout his moveset, and is the heaviest character in the game, making him very difficult to KO, especially vertically. He has powerful moves such as his aforementioned Giant Punch which when fully charged, deals 36% damage. His voice clips mostly use gorilla grunts and sounds.ĭonkey Kong is currently ranked 9th out of 12 on the tier list. Due to this, his archetype has also inspired the archetype for most of the heavyweight characters in subsequent games, in which he has also appeared. He has slow, yet powerful attacks, like his trademark move: the Giant Punch.
