Check this video out:

Look at 1:09 to 1:11. You'll see Donkey Kong facing right, doing his Giant Punch, and then turning to his left in the middle of the attack! Just think of the possibilities with that kind of technique. I heard other characters like Captain Falcon can do this as well with their special moves.

So, what do you guys think?

Same as the aerial version,

Push your direction to the side, don't press ANY direction for a frame than press B. People just find it hard to press the direction, than nothing it all very fast.

MMm, kinda hard to see if he actually started Gaint punch and turned or turned and Gaint punch, but if it's the former, it's something real cool, as DK needs all the Buffs he can get! On a side note, I didn't know how much better quality Stage6 was compaired to Youtube. O_o

Kind of hard to determine but if this is true then it makes for insane mindgames that could result in DK being unpredictable and even more deadly. DK players around the world rejoice for we now have the...

This is very good news. You can do this with Falcon Punch and Ganon Punch as well.

Maining DK for the past six years, I can't even tell you how many DK punches have come out in the wrong direction.

I hear that, I don't know how many times my brother has KO'd my DK with his Marth because of a missplaced Giant Punch.
