Donkey Kong vs Richter

When playing Donkey Kong against Richter, prioritize using your mobility to avoid his projectiles and whip attacks. Utilize your aerials, particularly the forward air and back air, to pressure Richter while staying out of his range. Look for opportunities to grab, as your throws can lead to strong follow-ups; remember that his shield can be a vulnerability if you space your attacks well. Keep the match at close quarters to limit Richter’s zoning potential, and consider using the platforms on stages like Battlefield to mix up your approach and avoid his horizontal projectiles.
