This was due to said update granting him a massive buff for his grab game in the form of his now-famous "cargo up throw", which allows for what is known as the "Ding Dong" combo, which is reminiscent of {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}'s "Hoo Hah" combo, albeit not to the same extreme degree. Because of the huge benefits as well as the [[true combo]]s that can be performed with this throw, Donkey Kong's popularity started to increase at all levels of play, with professionals such as DKwill, {{Sm|Average Joe}}, {{Sm|HIKARU}} and {{Sm|Mew2King}} making a larger impact in tournaments. | While he would gain dedicated mains like {{Sm|DKwill}} and buffs via game updates, it was not until update [[1.1.0]] that Donkey Kong's reputation would improve considerably.

Even so, the improved results of players like HIKARU, {{Sm|Konga}} and {{Sm|Tweek}} have allowed Donkey Kong to rise to 22nd on the fourth and current tier list; since the tiers were expanded, Donkey Kong has now become a high-tier character, in addition to recovering his status as the best super heavyweight once again from Bowser. As such, despite him remaining slightly rare in competitive play, his results by the players who use him have been sufficiently high enough to secure his current tier placement. | ||
