Despite Sheik being notorious for her role as the low-tier rapist, Donkey Kong can hold his own against the tier who- I mean top tiers.
First off Donkey Kong has his up b out of sheild, the spinning Donkey Konga of death, which is very good at hitting Sheiks and giving them damage and knockback. Your main approach is going to be with back air, it is strong, fast, good range, powerful, quick, and it has a good hitbox.
Donkey Kong especially gets a lot of milage out of his grab game. Once you get a grab you can do the Donkey Hostage (up+a) throw to combo into up airs, up tilts or even a MEGA DONG PUNCH OF **** if you have it charged up. Or you can just jump off the stage with your hostage xD!
But Sheik can combo you just as hard. I find that the best method of not getting comboed is to not get hit, but you do whatever you're comfortable with I guess.
When edgeguarding Sheik literally all you have to do is grab ledge so she is forced to up b on stage and punish her seven minutes of landing lag with either a combo starter or a move to knock the Sheik offstage.
Remember, if you beat the Sheik (which you probably will after this guide) then you have the right to rub it in their stupid little top tier using face. I think this matchup is overall 70- 30 in Donkey Kong's favor if you know what you're doing.
