Donkey Kong vs. Fox Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tiers, match-up votes and discussion

Alright, I don't think this Mu is even remotely close to 2/8. I don't think 3/7 either when DK loses to other characters even harder than Fox like Pikachu, GNW, Duck Hunt, Mega Man, etc, but you could argue it. I think 4/6 is more appropriate (I think DK does better compared to say, Hero, King K Rool, Banjo for sure or even some others like Ganondorf, Dedede and Isabelle).

I think DK's advantage state in this matchup is really good. He can pretty much do to Fox in one interaction what Fox can do to him, he edgeguards Fox very well and he can kill Fox early with the right reads. I also think it really sucks that Fox actually cannot take advantage of DK's garbage recovery like many other characters can as this limits how Fox can take stocks heavily as he either has to get them off of parries, frame traps or ledgetraps. Fox obviously still wins, as neutral and disadvantage absolutely blow for DK as he gets whiff punished, frame data'ed and mashed on super hard up close and cannot get off ledge, of the corner and land at all in disadvantage. So it is overall easier for Fox to get the initiative on DK and he gets better results for doing it, but that is not meaning DK can't get mean as well. This is also one of his only losing matchups where he actually can get really mean.
