Donkey Kong vs any character match up

Does Donkey Kong stand a chance against any character?
Sorry if I'm being an idiot on these forums :c

Tails... And probably goku.

Donkey Kong is probably a winnable matchup for him.

In all seriousness, I don't think he really has any good matchups. He has good combos, but the chance of getting them started and the level of difficulty involved makes them kind of useless.

This. And I'd assume Peach as well. DK has a good grab, and lateral control in the air and ground. He's definitely not the worst character.

Have fun with those turnips.

Really, do have fun with them.

Also Peach could edgeguard DK like there's no tomorrow since she can float off-stage for like 4 seconds.

Agreed with Det on the Peach MU

I would think DK will have a strong MU against Sora, but not too strong. At least positive though. His disjoints wreck Sora's game, his spikes and meteors ruin Sora's recovery, and Sora can't capitalize on DK's bad vertical recovery as well as other characters can. Sora can combo him nicely once he lands a hit, but even then he still has the problem with finishing DK. KB throw would be helpful for Sora as well but maybe DK has a good option for dealing with that, i haven't tested this MU to any great length.

also agree that Peach would wreck DK (turnips, floating, forward air, ect.).

At the same time, I think that Sora v. DK is even- DK's not too bad off because he's much heavier, longer range and kills much easier- not to mention the handy ability of Sora's edgeguarding to be... well less than optimal, means he's not as screwed. On the other hand, Sora gets easy, easy comboes, and Neutral B simply wrecks DK. I'd grant DK an advantage simply because he can combo just as well, and dies later. Also, if you miss the side-B (keyblade throw) that's a free punish if DK isn't too far away. Sora's Neutral B just wrecks DK though. At the same time, I feel that DK also can edgeguard Sora a bit better than Sora can edgeguard him.

DK can edge guard Sora pretty hard. One fair or Dair and the stock is gone
Also, KB throw isn't very punishable any more, it can be cancelled at any time (includes aerial throw)
DK's D and F tilt's also cancel out KB throw, so there goes that moves usefulness.......
Fire will be very useful against DK in the air, but if DK is on the ground Sora gets punished by Ftilt which cancels out Fire and hits Sora
