Overview

DK swings his arms around himself. One of DK's less useful aerials due to its pitifully small hitbox and pretty weak knockback, which makes it very poor in neutral and unlikely to kill until high percentages. The weak hit, however, can be used as a DI mixup in some combos, and can occasionally combo into a falling up air from a fullhop.
