An important quirk of gHS is that it will trigger every counter except [[Tetrakarn|Joker's]] and [[Revenge|Incineroar's]] even if they do it in the air. For some reason, gHS will also destroy [[Diddy Kong (SSBU)|Diddy Kong]]'s [[Peanut Popgun|Peanuts]] midair (not really useful, but pretty cool). Against Luma specifically, gHS whiffs unless [[Luma]] is detethered via [[Rosalina & Luma (SSBU)|Rosalina]]'s neutral special or after getting knocked away.

DK's gHS can be edge canceled (also referred to as slap slip) by holding forward with sufficient momentum near an edge<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/601216110|title=Donkey Kong's slap slip}}</ref>. Doing so allows you to slip off much closer to the ledge/platform than running off normally. With very good timing, a B-reverse gHS enables DK to slip off backwards<ref>{{cite web|url=https://clips.twitch.tv/AbstemiousPrettyCockroachOptimizePrime|title=Donkey Kong's b-reversed slap slip}}</ref>.
