Diddy Kong Appreciation Thread: From Dinky to Diddy, From the Jungle to the Brawl.

[Master_Sheik]

Diddy does deserve to be in this next smash. He has fought alongside Donkey Kong with so many games. and Diddy won't really be a clone to Donkey because I bet everyone can think of Diddy specialty moves. Banana peel anyone?
Dixie would be a longshot but would be a clone of Diddy in a way.
Too bad they couldn't put the whole Kong family........nvm, that's either an awesome idea but probably a horrible one that will never happen.
King K. Rool has a good chance as he's on Sakurai's poll...

I agree with you as far as Diddy and King K Rool being included, however I do not feel like Dixie will be a clone of Diddy. For one thing, Dixie has her signature helicopter spin, not to mention a variety of specials showcased in Donkey Kong 64.

 

[Master_Sheik]

Missingo is ectremelly unpopular and unkown (who the hell is he???) but Diddy is very popular and very well known
Diddy Kong you can use my sig if you want

I'm pretty sure that that was just a joke. Missingno is the 151 pokemon from Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow. Actually, he wasn't a pokemon at all, rather a glitch due to a programming oversight that corrupted gaming data allowing players to infinitely multiply items and level up Pokemon extremely quickly.

Dixie wasn't in Dk64. That was her little sister Tiny Kong.

I doubt that all three (Diddy, Dixie and K Rool) will make the cut, though IMO they all deserve it. Every other franchise with the popularity of DKC has at least 4 characters in Melee.

 

[BentoBox]

There's that thing called editing previous posts, I suggest you use it D=

OOPS! I haven't played that game in so long! I can't believe that I confused Dixie for a rip off, lol. Anyway, I say put Dixie in, she has a lot to offer and she's practically Diddy's sidekick! As far as Tiny is concerned, she should leave this one to the big boys.

 

[ArichTheViking]

As far as Tiny is concerned, she should leave this one to the big boys.

For sure. DK, Diddy, Dixie, K Rool... No more.

Unless there is 75 characters (which there won't be) , in which case the 5th DKC character to add is RAMBI THE RHINO!!!

Rambi > Kiddy, Tiny, Lanky, Chunky, Cranky or anyone else.

 

[tstumo]

i mean if mario can get all those characters dk hopefully can at least get 3 more. kirby got 2 more. considering king dededee is in it.

 

[xianfeng]

not confirmed

But yeah Diddy wouldn't and couldn't be a DK clone and shouldn't be a an IC team with Dixie

Kiddy & Dixie would make a nice IC team (not clones)

 

[Diddy Kong]

There is gonna be atleast 2 characters of one game. I mean Zero Suit Samus made the cut already, so there are now 2 Metriod characters. Also Metaknight belongs to the Kirby characters so there are 2 of them to. Even thirth party characters like Snake are in SSBB. Awww cmon Nintendo you wanna embarras DK by not adding more chars of his games...? O.o

Also Dixie COULD be a Luigified clone of Diddy with a whole diffrent recovery. What I'd like to see is that Dixie has DK's cargo except with her ponytail.

yep Dixie could do a lot of Diddy and Donkey's moves plus some of her own like the guitar!

 

[Diddy Kong]

Yeah the guitar would be a nice taunt for Dixie.
I hope DK characters will make the cut, it would be kind of a discrimination if they weren't there huh?

Im gonna search for my old Diddy moveset now, I posted it somewhere in the old spam topic of "SSB-Wii".

ZOMG! MISSINGNO's A LEGEND

Missingo is ectremelly unpopular and unkown (who the hell is he???) but Diddy is very popular and very well known
Diddy Kong you can use my sig if you want

omg! I'm sorry, but that's inexcusable if you've ever played red or blue. Personally, I've ONLY played those and yellow. This has probably been answered already, but i wen straight to posting when i read that.

the LEGENDARY missingo looked like scrambled data, had two water guns (the moves), and was somehow a bird type. It was often used to duplicate your items.

Now, I'm not mad because you don't want it in the game. That would be a horrible mistake. Im just mad because you don't know what it is. Any gamer that's ever played a pokemon game should be aware of its legends. Missingno is just one of those things that opens up conversation of the old days for gamers.

Don't feel bad, just next time, act like you know what it is.

hmm.... i'm not sure if i was being serious or not. you decided whether or not to take it seriously.

EDIT: Just for the record, I STRONGLY believe that Diddy not only deserves to be in Smash, he BELONGS in smash.

 

[Diddy Kong]

^Aint got anything to do or so...? <_< Missingno is something Nintendo should be ashamed for instead of actually put it in SSBB.

For those who dunno Missingno is a bug in Pokemon Red an Blue which makes your Pokemon uberstrong by not even training them... Is that fun? Sure. But only for once. Missingo is nothing... I even like the Old man from Zelda more then him.

 

[JmcShocker16]

I think diddy kong would be great in smash. I thin it needs more DK characters. atleast 3

 

[Alucard07]

I would love to see some more DK characters for SSBB. Diddy doesn't have to be a clone, he can easily be an individual character.

 

[Xx swift xX]

WHAT?! are you crazy? Missingno has high attack power, but the rest of it's stats are incredibly subpar, considering it's a lvl 80. And how does Missingno make your pokemon uber strong? It doesn't affect any of your pokemon, unless by chance it corrupt your game data, and that DEFINATELY doesn't help your pokemon. You might be skipping a step. In a way, it could be true. When you get Missingo, the item in your 6th slot reaches the quantity of 128. This was commonly used to duplicate rare candies. Then, trainers leveled up their pokemon to lvl 99. However, this really has nothig to do with Missingno besides its capture.

Now, people should stop dissing Missingo. I never said i wanted it. Diddy is perfect for smash. It's been at least 4 months since I played DK64 (not that long, huh?) , and I just LOVE using his peanut popguns to pelt those baddies.

On a side note, it has been confirmed that the Wii controller can be used with smash. Now, who in the world wouth rather use that thing than a GCN controller if it's not even used for aiming?

EDIT: Alucard, welcome to the smash community! I've always wanted to say that to someone on their first post

can you back up your words with a link? where does it say that thus game will use the wii-mote?

 

[xianfeng]

I think diddy kong would be great in smash. I thin it needs more DK characters. atleast 3

DK, Diddy & Krool

 

[Diddy Kong]

DK, Diddy & Krool

Yup those 3. Maybe Dixie to.

The moveset of Diddy is lost because the spam topic of "SSB-Wii" is deleted.
I'll make another one soon.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Diddy def. Krool would be a nice addition. Dixie, I think you guys can live wthi out her.

 

[xianfeng]

Diddy def. Krool would be a nice addition. Dixie, I think you guys can live wthi out her.

she would be better than Pichu or Paper Mario but this is about Diddy he would be the best character to add in for SSBB

 

[xianfeng]

If little Mac can have one so can Diddy, Diddy Kong is the second most popular DK character and he is giving DK a run for his money, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong would not be a team as they already both have enough moves to be individual characters. Diddy Kong for SSBB!

Sorry for the double post but Diddy Kong is a shoe in and practically garunteed for S2B2 (SSBB)

 

[Diddy Kong]

[Dax]

I absolutely wanna diddy kong ;_; it's the character i missed the most in ssbm.

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

Great moveset! He sounds like a low mid tier, though.

Diddy Kong SHOULD be in SSBB, but unfortunately he probably won't.

 

[Diddy Kong]

IT BETTER BE GOOD! jk

Anywayz why would you think he would end up being low mid tier? I kinda hoped of making him high tier. Well atleast thanks for saying this moveset is good. =)

 

[Diddy Kong]

Sorry for double posting. Well no sorry really. This is a bump post.

Do you people even care about reading my moveset? O_O

 

[commonyoshi]

All I really know about Diddy Kong is that in Donkey Kong for the 64, he had twin pistols that shot out peanuts. What could possibly be cooler than that?

 

[princess_of_hyrule]

I totally support having Diddy Kong in SSBB...DK's lonely there and needs some of his family around...heck bring both Diddy and Dixie if you ask me! :D She would have a cool moveset too. Though I think bringing Dixie Kong in would be a stretch...but hey it could happen. Though I think Diddy has a really good chance of getting in, I sure hope he does. So, all in all...

One more vote for Diddy Kong in SSBB!!!

BTW...excellent thinking on his moveset...and also the idea of using his barrel peanut guns.

 

[Diddy Kong]

:D Thank you both. What I'd thought if is that Diddy could also actually move while he has his pistols out. That would make him the best projo camper ever.

 

[xianfeng]

Great moveset! He sounds like a low mid tier, though.

Diddy Kong SHOULD be in SSBB, but unfortunately he probably won't.

he proberly will be in because he is the secnd most popular DK character and one of the most loved nintendo characters not included in the SSB series name one good reason why he proberly won't be in

 

[Iggy K]

If he's not there, nintendo's crazy. Diddy ftw, and throw in K.Rool too.

 

[Odendaalrust]

ftw means what? And no Diddy... unless they are planning to spend time or more characters than JUST diddy.

 

[Iggy K]

It means for the win. And of course they would spend time on more characters than just Diddy.

 

[MewMewKachooTwo]

I'd rather his taunt be pulling out a boombox, like in DK Country 2 when he completed a level.

 

[xianfeng]

I'd rather his taunt be pulling out a boombox, like in DK Country 2 when he completed a level.

there should be 2 taunts, and Diddy Kong can I put your moveset on the first page?

 

[Diddy Kong]

there should be 2 taunts, and Diddy Kong can I put your moveset on the first page?

Sure you can. :D
Well I dont know anything more to post because this is another bump post really.
Errr... DIDDY ROCKS!! ^^ Brawl isnt complete without him.

 

[xianfeng]

Diddy Kong your moveset is on the front page and I added in a second taunt and his kirby hat just for extra detail

 

[Diddy Kong]

Ok thats cool.

Anyone reading this has something to add? This topic is pretty dead so...

 

[fluffy]

umm..yea.

idk if sum1 thought of this b4..but what if diddy and dixie kong were like the new ice climbers? that way, theyll hav 2 characters ppl want.
