Ike vs Donkey Kong
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When facing Donkey Kong as Ike, focus on capitalizing on your aerial mobility and spacing to avoid DK's powerful grab and smash attacks. Use your neutral aerial to pressure him from above, but be mindful of his ability to punish landing with his up special. Once you create some distance, look for opportunities to land your back air or up air, especially after he commits to an attack or whiffs a move. Remember to maintain your shield when he approaches, as this will allow you to react and punish him with your strong aerials when he overextends.
