Hiro's OFFICIAL Diddy guide/impressions/strategies (verison 1.2) (updated 3/13))

[GDX]

if your above the opponent in mid air the blast from the barrels will spike him. its quite usefull if perfected

a quick upB does indeed deliver the kind of spike that makes one go "wtf didnt see that coming". It works quite well when people are flying in to the stage and are about to dodge your fair/dair, and instead you do upB which not only spikes them, but also has a slight built in delay that can still get them if you do it as soon as they airdodge

rocketspiking is one of the funnest things to do with diddy.

One really cool thing I noticed with the bananas going against Ike is he can't f.b. past one. He immediately falls down, and I find Ike to be really easy to vs. with diddy....

well, i hope this guide is still useful even if i really dont care much for brawl diddy anymore.

You forgot to mention his dash attack has no lag so you can attack immedietly afterwards.

on the popgun aspect, i disagree. you can use it if you tap it directly after a forward throw. my favorite use for it, however, is to shoot it at them and they will probably shield, in which case you can just run up and grab.
