Time for another moveset idea for the Third Hero:
For this attack, we're going back to the
"Super Hair" category, which covers hair abilities that defy physics. Dixie's Helicopter Hair is the poster for this category, but there's something else she can do with it:
Dixie swiftly swings her hair forward and spins it like a drill! She racks up damage on anyone who makes contact as long as you hold A. The hitbox is small but sustained, and is best as a Forward Tilt. How's she able to do this? The same way she swims underwater in Tropical Freeze!
I didn't realize Dixie could use her hair like a drill until I replayed DKCTF recently. She's able to swim better than the other Kongs by drilling it, so that means using drill-like hair for attacks is basically canon! As y'all can see, there are many ways for Dixie to use her hair: flying, broad swings, whips, spinning, hair-standing, hanging, grabbing, lifting, throwing and as this example--as well as Tropical Freeze shows--drilling and swimming! Compare that to Diddy's tail--which he barely uses in Smash or his home series--as its use is limited to whips, hanging, spinning and broad swings. This is something to remember when people ask what she can do that Diddy can't. Speaking of which, if anyone happens to bump into users who think Dixie can't do much, remember what she can and has done. Not getting kidnapped is just the start lol, but just in case also show them my moveset doc:

No disrespect to my boy Diddy though! He's still my favorite Kong.
That's it for this moveset idea. Feel free to put this on twitter when the time is right! Also, here's the transparent version:

Feedback is welcome! On this particular move or the doc itself. Gotta make it hard for detractors to pick Dixie apart.
