Donkey Kong (butthataintindie)

Donkey Kong is a starter fighter in The Fighting Game of Everything.
==Bio==
Donkey Kong is the leader of his bunch, known worldwide for his many adventures. Originally an adversary of Mario, Donkey Kong later on became the main protagonist of his own series, fighting his own archenemies along the way. While he has a few options that could be used for range, such as his barrels and Coconut Gun, he thrives the most when closest to the opponent. His heavy weight, powerful throws and hard-hitting specials make him a dangerous fighter up close. Also he has the Seth Rogen laugh.

==Throws==
FORWARD: Donkey Kong grabs the opponent and holds them above his head. After a few seconds, DK throws them off automatically with high damage, sending them forwards.
BACKWARD: Donkey Kong juggles the opponent, places them in a Barrel Cannon, and fires it away to the other side.
==Specials==
===Coconut Gun===
While it is Donkey Kong’s biggest ranged attack, it is only most effective when DK is up close and personal with the opponent. Donkey Kong fires a coconut out of his Coconut Shooter. This move’s high pushback allows DK to rush in and unleash one of his brutal throws, however it also has an 8 second cooldown. However, the move’s ability to get stronger if DK is closer ensures that DK can brutally grapple the opponent around without much issue.
===Barrel Toss===
Donkey Kong tosses a barrel towards the opponent from below, going all the way to the other side. The opponent can jump over it, but if they are hit and never saw it coming, the opponent is briefly stunned. This works best against rangers, as otherwise they can take DK down. While it works at far range by stunning the opponent, at close range it does enough damage in addition to the stun. This has a 5 second cooldown.
===Barrel Cannon===
Donkey Kong gets into a Barrel Cannon, which can be aimed in many directions, but will always face the opponent. Once a button is pressed, Donkey Kong is launched out of the cannon and towards the other side, allowing him to home in for attacks and throws. This has a 5 second cooldown.
===Hand Slap===
Donkey Kong slams the ground using one of his hands. The move has high damage and can be mashed up to 4 times, to keep the opponent from reaching him, which allows DK to take advantage of the situation and grapple the opponent.
===Oooo! Banana!===
Donkey Kong stops to eat a banana, resulting in him healing himself. At most, 5% of your health can be healed during this move. If Donkey Kong is attacked while eating the banana, he gets angered and his attacks are buffed for 10 seconds, though at the cost of not being able to heal himself while enraged. This move has a 10 second cooldown.
==X-Factor==
===Moon Punch===
Once activated, Donkey Kong immediately rushes at the opponent and grabs them similar to his forward throw, as a bomb inside of a barrel sets off. Both the opponent and DK are sent flying towards the orbit of the Moon, and Donkey Kong holds the opponent in his hand as he slowly glides down to punch it out of orbit. Once done, it falls on the stage and crushes it as the opponent takes damage. If they are still alive, they fall stunned and on the floor, as Donkey Kong can use this opportunity to finish the opponent off. If the X-Factor ends in a KO, Donkey Kong can be seen beating his chest in joy afterwards, similar to his usual victory animation, but with the moon behind him.

=== As Donkey Kong ===
As a grappler, Donkey Kong is recommended to fight against rushdown fighters due to their low health and necessity to get closer to the opponent. Donkey Kong can easily juggle fighters like the Scout, Buzzsaw, and Joker around due to this specific necessity. One of the biggest rushdown character exceptions to Donkey Kong’s rampage is the boss and unlockable character Sanic Hegehog. While being a rushdown fighter, his primary unpredictability and high health on par with some all-arounders (Queen, for example) could potentially pose a threat.
As for rangers, Donkey Kong is significantly less effective against them. For example, Derek Baum, who is considered one of the least viable rangers in the game, can push Donkey Kong back in just his 3 hits from his Kitchen Gun, and his Coconut Gun pales in range when compared to Derek’s. His slow speed does not help things either, which is paired together with Barrel Cannon’s long wind-up time.
