Donkey Kong can leverage his superior range and weight to pressure Ness, who relies on precise spacing and recovery. By maintaining a strong neutral game with long-range attacks like Hand Slap and Kong Smasher, DK can force Ness into defensive positions where his limited mobility becomes a liability. Focus on punishing Ness's predictable recovery options and using DK's high damage output to secure quick KOs.

• Use Hand Slap and Kong Smasher to control space and prevent Ness from approaching safely.
• Punish Ness's recovery with well-timed aerials, as his recovery is linear and predictable.
• Maintain pressure with DK's weight advantage to limit Ness's ability to escape combos.
• Watch for Ness's up-B and use it as a setup for follow-up attacks or to bait out his recovery.
• Utilize DK's grab range to secure safe throws and prevent Ness from resetting the neutral game.
• Be cautious of Ness's projectile spam and use DK's mobility to sidestep or shield appropriately.
