Donkey Kong (SSBB): Difference between revisions

Donkey Kong has a fairly average matchup spread all around. He hard counters 3 ({{SSBB|Ness}}, {{SSBB|Lucas}} and {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}), counters 3, soft counters 5 and has 8 even matchups. He is soft countered by 6, countered by 9 and hard countered by 2 ({{SSBB|Olimar}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}). DK normally does good against characters he can generally outrange, such as {{SSBB|Mario}} and Jigglypuff. He also boasts excellent matchups against Ness and Lucas due to possessing infinite grab releases on them. However, he has poor matchups against characters who can take advantage of his inability to oppose camping, like Olimar and Falco, or characters who can chaingrab him, like King Dedede, who can 0 to death him through his standing infinite. Donkey Kong poses a threat to characters lower than him, but does not make a significant impact against characters above him.
