Donkey Kong ranks 22nd out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the C tier | Donkey Kong ranks 22nd out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the C tier. This is also a moderate improvement from Donkey Kong's mid tier placement in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 21st out of 38, and is his best placement in the series to date. | ||
Donkey Kong retains his outstanding power, deceptively fast mobility, and great [[spacing]] options, but has also been improved both directly and indirectly. Donkey Kong now boasts great combo potential thanks to his "cargo up throw", which has been re-purposed into a very reliable combo starter that boasts guaranteed and extremely damaging follow-ups at varying percentages, alongside [[Combos#Types of combos|KO confirm]]s into his up aerial at a wide range of percents. Changes to game mechanics have also improved DK: the removal of both [[chain grab]]bing and [[edge-hogging]] drastically improve his endurance and recovery, respectively, whereas [[rage]] supplements his power, granting him an effective advantage state. | Donkey Kong retains his outstanding power, deceptively fast mobility, and great [[spacing]] options, but has also been improved both directly and indirectly.
