Donkey Kong Calc Replacement (It's a downgrade, sorry)

[Armorchompy]

The old calculation for the Moon Punch that DK currently gets its speed ratings from has several issues. It's a 2017 calc ported from some other website, which isn't great and it's not approved, which is very bad. I would have evaluated it myself, but there's an even bigger issue- the pixel scaling scans seem to be lost to time, given that the blog doesn't link to them, and writing out the link that's in the one thing that the blog does link to... brings to a broken pic. So it is not evaluated and it can literally not be evaluated.

So, this is all to explain why I went and recalculated it. Unfortunately, the result ends up quite a bit lower. I'm not aware of any feats in DK games that bring them higher than 6-C and HHS, but feel free to share them if you do.

 

[Starsprite53]

I agree

Live Donkey Kong reaction

Anyways in terms of other feats Lord Fredrik turned DK island into a frozen wasteland but idk if that would be higher than the recalc.

 

[Lonkitt]

I agree with this

It might but idk if he really scales to that, it's done with a magic artifact, and the only way he uses it to attack is by making constructs with it

Damn I liked that the main character of a series named Donkey Kong Country was country level, but it is what it is

 

[Lou_change]

I don’t know where you got the idea Mario is 1 meter from given balloon world reconfirms Mario being 155cm

Yeah but ultimately I don't think that really matters, DK's size isn't consistent enough to take his size compared to Mario in one instance like that height chart and apply it here.

Fair, though DK can take hits from ice dragons from the horn similar to the one used to freeze DK island.

Does it? I mean I got it from... the thing I linked to but if it does that might be important (probably not for this blog tho)

 

[DaReaperMan]

Yeah I was actually discussing this a couple weeks ago that the calc was shit, so 100% agree

 

[Marvel_Champion_07]

I agree

 

[Lou_change]

How did you get the distance moved?

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

I agree with this.

 

[Da3ggman]

Well there goes the King K. Rool vs Blackbeard thread I was planning

 

[AStrangeverse]

agree

 

[DaReaperMan]

Well there goes the King K. Rool vs Blackbeard thread I was planning

Low-Hax near-baseline 6-B

vs

Mid-Hax casual 6-B with durability Negation and a crushing skill advantage

 

[Armorchompy]

How did you get the distance moved?

by the moon? i calculated it, there's a picture.

 

[SamanPatou]

As long as the calc's good, I'm good.

 

[Lou_change]

The distance used for how far DK was launched seems too far for the moon to travel with the speed used and time shown

 

[Armorchompy]

That's a good point. I'll remove that bit.

 

[Nierre]

DK Country more like DK Island

 

[Lou_change]

So how high is the moon

 

[Armorchompy]

i dunno, there isn't really a way to gauge it

 

[DaReaperMan]

i dunno, there isn't really a way to gauge it

There is, you have the size of the moon right?

 

[Lou_change]

We can measure the distance fallen using the time it took can’t we

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I don't mind the recalculation of the feat specifically.

 

[Armorchompy]

I mean you never see it at its apex compared to the ground iirc

It's weird cause it like, accelerates

Didn't the ending bounce it back into place?

 

[Damage3245]

Seems fine to me.

Ah, I was curious if it would be in earth’s atmosphere based on the height

 

[Armorchompy]

Maybe? I don't really wanna go back and calc it, I doubt it'll be that high

 

[DaReaperMan]

Understandable

 

[Foxthefox1000]

The feat should be Dwarf Star but this site will never accept that lol

The feat is also incredibly inconsistent with the size of the moon in question anyways. The results can vary depending on any screenshot you take.

But whatever

 

[Flashlight237]

If it works, it works, so I agree with this revision.

 

[CloverDragon03]

Minor thing about the calc, idk the legitimacy of this but apparently the talking microphone in Donkey Kong 64 says Donkey Kong is 7'10", which is 238.76 cm. Should affect the calc a bit.

 

[Dust_Collector]

Based on what? It's kinda hard to say It's the size and mass of the actual moon when it's shown to be island sized and doesn't have evidence of being intended to be the actual moon but couldn't for artstyle / limitation reasons.

Hm, if that's a canon height given in DKC that would be handy, yeah. Does anyone have a scan?

It's false; I went and checked. He only said Donkey Kong's weight (800 lbs).

 

[Armorchompy]

Hmm, that is like, more than double the weight of an IRL silverback. I wonder if it'd be allowed to upscale height like that. Like (∛(362.874 / 170)) * 1.8 = 2.3176 meters of height?
