==Overview==

A simple headbutt. Pummeling opponents prior to using [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Down throw|down throw]] is especially crucial for King K. Rool's success, as well as after a dash grab to make use of the long lunge. This is because down throw uses all damage prior to the throw itself to calculate the bury frames. Considering hitlag, a [[buffer]]ed throw from a buffered pummel is guaranteed from around 10%, allowing for almost automatic damage.

A simple headbutt. Pummeling opponents prior to using [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Down throw|down throw]] is especially crucial for King K. Rool's success, as well as after a dash grab to make use of the long lunge while still dealing damage. This is because down throw uses all damage prior to the throw itself to calculate the bury frames. This also removes moves from the [[stale-move negation]] queue, allowing for K. Rool's damage to remain high (as his high damage is heavily affected by the staleness multipliers). Considering hitlag, a [[buffer]]ed throw from a buffered pummel is guaranteed from around 10%, allowing for almost automatic damage. Thus, buffering pummel into down throw and then using [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Neutral attack|neutral attack]] will almost completely refresh the queue.

King K. Rool's pummel is also one of the most damaging of its kind, with surprisingly little lag for its damage as well. This allows for an easy down throw into [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Up smash|up smash]] as it prompts [[mash]]ing from opponents aiming to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
