Palutena vs Donkey Kong
When playing Palutena against Donkey Kong, focus on utilizing your aerial mobility to outmaneuver him, especially when he attempts to approach with his Spinning Kong. Use your neutral special, the Auto-Reticle, to zone him out and force him to play defensively, as it can punish his slow approaches. When he tries to recover, intercept him with your Down B to knock him away and prevent him from getting back on stage. Keep an eye on his grab range, as it can lead to devastating combos; spacing your forward aerials and utilizing your shield effectively will help you avoid being caught.
