Move Breakdown

Neutral

DK performing the move Giant Punch.

Giant Punch

Charges up a punch that can keep charging after dodging or shielding.

Deals massive damage, gains super armour, and is faster when fully charged. DK loses his mid-air jump if used while airborne. Can be canceled and stored.

Side

DK performing the move Headbutt.

Headbutt

Buries opponents when they're hit on the ground. Can't be interrupted by weaker attacks.

Bury lasts longer on opponents with higher percent. The sweet-spot of aerial version will meteor. Super armour during startup til hit-box. Long range and high shield damage make it great for breaking

Up

DK performing the move Spinning Kong.

Spinning Kong

Spins with a whirlwind of punches. Can shift left or right while airborne and forward while grounded.

Excellent horizontal distance but very little vertical. Can trap opponents causing decent damage.

Down

DK performing the move Hand Slap.

Hand Slap

Sends out shock waves by slapping the ground, sending foes into the air. Has a meteor effect while airborne.

Can be used for spacing on the ground, but is not a great kill option. The aerial version has a meteor effect and combos with the first hit making it much more useful.
