Donkey Kong (SSBM)/Back throw

Overview[edit]

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

DK swings and throws the opponent behind himself. A great backthrow with good knockback, which enables it to be a decent killthrow vs lighter characters. Otherwise, it's a solid tool for setting up an edgeguard situation.
