Overview

Donkey Kong does a clapping attack above his head. Quite a powerful up smash, comparable in strength to PAL Fox's up smash. Due to the high hitbox, it is very difficult to hit against grounded opponents. As a result, it is generally only usable when combo'd into, such as from up throw or down aerial. It can be used to hit through platforms, giving it some use as a platform tech chase tool. It also easily combos from up throw on Fox and Falco if they do no DI; if they DI away, you can instead do up special, giving Donkey Kong potent kill confirms.
