Strategies
Donkey Kong has the advantage of strength, so you should try and use this to your advantage. When fighting with DK, try to be defensive and punish your opponents when they make a mistake (usually by grabbing and throwing them). One of DK's best attacks is his Back Throw, which should be generally used over his weak forward throw. This attack comes in handy against those annoying Kirby players that constantly use the Thrust Kick (coincidentally, I happen to be one of those Kirby players).

Unlike the previous game, DK's Giant Punch can be executed much quicker, allowing you to incorporate it into your attacks (it wasn't as efficient in the previous game).

Another one of DK's strong points is his reach. Use attacks such as Super Slap against enemies during a hand-to-hand combat. Usually, your greater reach will allow you to hit your opponent before their attack touches you. If not, then you and your opponent will simply cancel-out attacks.
VS Donkey Kong
Battling against DK shouldn't be too much of a trouble. First of all, he is extremely slow and his attacks will take time to execute. Therefore, use quick attacks to knock him off guard. While playing, DK will use his Super Spin Attack during tough times. This attack will allow him to regroup himself so he could find a better offensive position to attack. If you're playing with Captain Falcon, you're bound to have an easy match.
