Editing Giant Punch

[[File:Giant Punch SSB4 Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|'''Giant Punch''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.]]
'''Giant Punch''' is a move used by [[Donkey Kong]] in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. It is used by pressing {{button|gcn|B}}. Donkey Kong begins swing his arms back and forth, charging up for the punch. The more time that is spent winding up Donkey Kong's arm, the stronger the punch will be. After a few swings, Donkey Kong's head begins to smoke and he can walk with his punch fully charged. The charge can also be "paused" by either [[Shield|shielding]] or rolling, and can be continued as normal. Being attacked while charging loses all of the build-up. When {{button|gcn|B}} is pressed again, the move will be released, sending a strong punch to whoever is in front of Donkey Kong. 

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', two variants to Giant Punch are introduced: '''Lightning Punch''' and '''Storm Punch'''. Lightning Punch has a faster charge to maximum and deals electric damage, though it's less powerful, and Storm Punch is also less powerful while creating a whirlwind that knocks opponents away while punching.

Donkey Kong did a similar move in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' (television series)]] in the episode [[Bad Hair Day]]. The move is unlikely to be an inspiration for the Giant Punch. In the ending of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', Donkey Kong uses a similar move to the Giant Punch.

-The Giant Punch involves the player holding down the {{button|gcn|B}}. This causes Donkey Kong to swing his arms back and forth, charging up a punch. After swinging his arm a few times, Donkey Kong's head begins to smoke, indicating that his Giant Punch is fully charged. When the player presses {{button|gcn|B}} again, Donkey Kong will release a strong punch. The charge can also be "paused" by either [[smashwiki:shield|shielding]] or rolling, and can be continued as normal. The more time that Donkey Kong winds up his attack, the stronger his punch is. If Donkey Kong is attacked while charging his attack, he loses all of the build-up. Before ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', using the move in mid-air will put Donkey Kong in a [[smashwiki:Helpless|helpless state]].
