Know Your Moves: Diddy Kong

[LiteralGrill]

A lot of love goes into making Smash characters and many of their moves come from their games of origin. YouTuber RelaxAlax has been looking into how the characters are designed as they are in the Know Your Moves series. This time he takes a look at Diddy Kong, a character that it's easy to tell exactly how he feels about. Warning: this video contains strong language and intense amiibo abuse. Readers may watch and learn about Diddy Kong at their own peril!

SmashCapps got some good laughs from the video and looks forward to the next. To keep up with his writing and all things Smash be sure to follow him on Twitter.

A very good Know your moves! It's always fun to poke some fun at the little guy, and its pretty informative about his design choices too!

"I Hate you" is the perfect title for this video.

These videos are so much better than that lame Smash History series The Game Theorists have, it makes me sad that it's the latter that gets so much more attention.

Not my fault, people should go make 64 and Brawl videos to send my way

 

[Objekshin]

Diddy Kong still be viable.

I feel Alax uses the medium of video much more and brings a level of analysis to the character Smash History doesn't. I think if you only read the script of an episode of Smash History, you wouldn't miss out on much. But if you only read the script of Know your Moves, I think you'd be missing out on a lot. Pacing, skits (like the one at the end of the video), visual gags, would all lack that punch on paper. Plus, any old smhuck could read the game origin of moves and inject personal opinion.

Was that burning Diddy Kong amiibo real?

 

[Himura Kenshin]

I had to read that first sentence a few times. They're not serious, right? They...they can't be serious.

Brawl is mentioned several times in this video. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

RelaxAlax is one of my favorite youtubers, he uploads a lot of smash 4 stuff despite not being as much of a fan of it over Melee and PM which does interest me on that account.

Wonder if he has interest in PM videos since I always wonder why he makes them on a game he isn't the biggest fan off, mostly just "competitive play isn't his cup of tea" as he put it.

Still love his videos.

 

[HFlash]

I love these videos. Give me an even bigger appreciation for the game I know and love. Keep em coming!

Hey, that ending is a metaphor of what happened to Diddy's position in the metagame.

Hey, that ending is a metaphor of what happened to Diddy's position in the metagame.

...Droping a few spots? He fell out of top tier at most, and that's before the 1.1.0 buffs.

I wish Mat Pat was the one presenting the videos instead, he simply has more charisma when speaking.

Amazing video as always! *Sees Ending* AMIIBO ABUSE IM REPORTING YOU TO THE POLICE

 

[Diddy Kong]

I love Alax's videos. They have such a concept of the characters that I've never thought about before.
Also, poor amiibo

 

[KingCasual]

I want his back yard.

And his laser eyes.

Relax Alax is greatly unappreciated, but I see him gaining more subs which is a happy sight.

Such a great youtuber, i do agree that this series a lot better than the smash history on the game theorists channel by a huge margin. Much more personality and it's funny, so that counts for something lol
