Neutral Aerial has high priority and low ending and landing lag, leading to many follow ups if used properly, as well being a good spacing tool.Īs for his throws, all of them have great utility. His Back Aerial and Up Aerial can also combo with themselves against opponents with low percentages. All of Donkey Kong's Smash Attacks are very potent, being able to score earlier KO's due their raw power and range.ĭonkey Kong's aerial combat is notable as he has the highest number of Meteor Smashes in the game (Forward and Down Aerials, Headbutt and aerial Hand Slap), all being very powerful and useful as the situation demands. Up Tilt can also combo with itself at lower percentages, and can lead to many aerial setups. Down Tilt is a fantastic move that can lead to great follow ups it can combo with itself, and also has a small chance of tripping opponents, which can lead to Forward Tilt, Dash Attack or grab. His attacks are pretty straightforward: high damage and knockback, while those that lack power can be used for combos. This, combined with his heavy weight, makes him greatly benefit from Rage. Nearly all of his attacks have potential KO power, and his super armor during some of them allows him to sustain and even shrug off flinching. Unlike most heavyweights, he is quite agile, having good attack speed and dashing speed.
