Hi All!
Just a quick into for myself I'm a Diddy main from Vermont as well as a TO down there. I feel like recently I've gotten into a slump into my gameplay, I feel like my fundamentals are at a good spot and I'm now trying to incorporate as much mental game as I can with Diddy now but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to progress from it so I've wanted to ask this question for a while but, What kind of Mind Games/Conditioning do you guys do with Diddy Kong? I wanted to see what kinds of things other than myself people do to incorporate into my gameplay and just because knowledge can definitely be power in this game. I wanted to make this thread a temporary general discussion on the topic I'll list a couple of things myself.
Mind Games:
Banana:
One thing I'll do with banana is hold it in my hand and in general see how they react to it. This may be an obvious one but might be useful for new Diddy players. I will then see how they respond such as holding shield, short hopping, then pick the appropriate option.
Leaving Banana on the ground is another one, see how an opponent will react to where it is on the field and wither or not they will go after it, if I go after how they respond, etc.
Conditioning:
This is one concept I'm starting to learn but unfortunately don't have a ton of useful information on how to approach doing it with Diddy.
Anyway I look forward to hearing responses and happy Diddying! :D
