Someone told me that you should use a lot of mid-far range attacks like final cutter and stuffs like that but I'm not sure.
I think you should always roll and airdodge alot to get away from his grabs and stuff though.

Donkey Kong is actually a pretty touch matchup =/ He has a long-ranged grab that can get a crouching Kirby, powerful finishers to throws at pretty much any %, and Bair range that Kirby has trouble getting past. It doesn't help that DK is heavy and that almost all of Kirby's killing moves have extremely lenient DI options. You can try a lot of the standard bair utilt ftilt uair combos that work on all of the huge characters in this game, but DK will still build up damage like a mofo with his throw combos and bairs.
=/ And you gotta watch out for his punch, too.
Who knows, though. Maybe my knowledge on the matchup (where to DI, best way to edgeguard, best approach) is limited, but it seems this way to me.

If you get him to use his up-B when not on the stage, your dair will kill him.

does kirby have a longer grab range than dk?

i have had great luck with kirby's drill kick on DK and though this may seem ridiculous the rock seems to have a pretty good effect on Donkey Kong. His large size makes it impossible for him to move out of the way easily...and if he does the chances of him getting back to grab you are a lot less because of his lack of speed. I have to say using up kick from the ground can also help out quite a bunch

Donkey Kong is faster than Kirby is. Don't use the stone.

ive had some good luck though with that. the few times I miss donkey tries to grab but i can successfully roll out of it.

I'll be generous, so let's say DK will grab you 50% of the time you use the stone.
I'll be generous again, so let's say you'll actually hit DK with the stone 3% of the time.
Kirby's stone does, what, 16% tops?
DK's guaranteed grab combos do much more than that and have KO potential.
I'm going to stand in my view that you should not use the stone against DK.

Even if DK can't get out of the way quickly enough (???) to avoid the Stone, he can just shield and has plenty of time to do whatever he wants to Kirby. Then again, if he can't get out of the way, can't get his shield up, and can't punish Kirby - for whatever reasons - feel free to humiliate him with multiple Stones because you're going to win anyway.
