Out of a dash attack.... what do you do?

[ADHD]

I also do the fair or back air and sometimes the up air.

Can they DI right after? Because sometimes they are on different directions then usual but maybe its just me.

Also, I can't find anywhere to put my dtilt in my game or the ftilt

 

[bludhoundz]

Glide tossed banana -> Ftilt / dtilt works, if you don't want to diminish your smashes.

Yes your opponent can DI the dash attack, fortunately pretty much anywhere they DI they are still vulnerable. If they DI behind you, reverse Ftilt works wonders. If they are up in the air, at least one of your aerials should be able to hit them.

Dash attack dair back onto the stage to get owned by more bananas is win. Hard to land, have to hit with the last hit of the dash attack. The dash attack has diffrent effect based on where you hit with it. Its always better to use it farther so that you "tip" with the dash attack

At low percents a few uptilts to fair can work sometimes

Ftilt is really quick, good reach, good priority and can kill 140-160% undiminished. Has pretty good knockback to knock them off the stage

At low percents dtilt can rack some damage and the knockback is so low like dtilt->ftilt or upsmash or something. Its really quick so you can catch a spotdodge with it

Dtilt has its uses but it is not a huge deal if you do not uses. However, if you do not use ftilt you are really missing out. It has more range than any attack and also is a quick move to follow up a dash attack, or any other attack for that matter.

 

[BrawlBro]

how about dash attack to up tilt? Use it diddy's: it combos and comes out quick.

 

[General Diddy]

i like using my up smash unless their on KO range, otherwise depending on where they are i'll short hop an aerial or down tilt into a smash

 

[Vall3y]

dash attack to upsmash at low %. no startup makes it connect always, and its good damage without diminishing other attacks.
on mid-low % just try to hit any air move, fair bair or uair if its a guaranteed combo you cant really be picky about it.
after that they can airdodge or even attack you themselves, fair is usually the best to hit them out of an attack or after the airdodge

 

[saberhof]

i sometimes spot dodge or throw a banana down, because they try and grab me for some reason >_>...but most of the time, i always land a banana and then the other one following up with another dash attack...it usually freaks them out and they start jumping, that's where i get them...

you can do lots of stuff really...too much :O...

 

[Kaptain Kong]

I usually up tilt a couple times then aerial
sometimes i use naners

 

[Kayzee]

Out of a dash attack, I use just about any attack that except for the dtilt and dsmash. Which attack I use depends on the situation.

 

[Trapt497]

If they don't have much damage and the dash attack doesn't send them far I usually go into the neutral A combo or any one of the tilts. If the dash attack sends them a bit more than i'd like for a tilt then I just short hop and f-air or b-air.

edit: and by the way, I don't want to make a thread on this because its considered spam, but I've decided I'm going to hang out a lot in the diddy forums and hopefully get better with him. I'm not considering switching mains, its just that diddy is a really fun character to play and I think I'm gonna learn more about diddy if I play him a lot and talk about him with all you diddy mains

so, for the time being, I hope I get to know some of you, and you get to know me as the lucario representative of the diddy forums I guess...lol

Oh, and those of you that are worried I might spread the good news to scrubs that diddy is really really good, don't worry. I won't tell a soul

what does DI stand for?

 

[0RLY]

What an amazing first post. Read the stickies to get a good idea for smash terminology. Welcome to SmashBoards.

 

[chimpact]

I am having trouble with Tilts and Smashes. I want to do tilts more often but I do smashes. I tried setting the c stick to tilts, but it wasn't working as well as I thought. How do you tilt instead of smash? I don't really want to create a new topic for this.

You're probably doing smashes more because you're too hard on your control stick. When wanting to do a tilt, push your finger with less force. If you still have trouble, then to do f tilt, walk forward while pressing a, d tilt crouch first, and u tilt (take tap jump off if you can't do this) by holding up first. I'd recommend not doing what I just mentioned in the last sentence if possible so you don't waste the smallest of time, but if you can't fully control it still then use the 2nd method.

And I use u smash and u tilt usually out of dash attack.

 

[IDK]

yeah. nice bump of an old thread there new guy. its cool tho just read stickies, check dates, announcements, use search function... welcome to SWF.

 

[CKRikou]

Sometimes out of a dash attack at low percentages, I try to chain it into multiple d-tilts.

Ok Ill try that, but with tap jump off, will I not be able to SH. Cause I do that alot. And I already crouch first and walk forward for the d/f tilt.

I like using nAir at high %'s cause the hitbox stays out longest and will hit through air dodges pretty easily.

I dash dash dash then utilt. It's amazing how ppl don't shield or DI sometimes.

I don't quite understand. Do you use wii-mote, so you're not able to jump or something? If that's the case then change around your controls so you replace the taunt button with jump button. But do you mean that you are used to tap jump sh? If that's so then when you press the jump button, just tap it and release it real quick, don't hold it.

 

[chimpact]

I mean can you still short hop with Tap Jump off?

 

[MdrnDayMercutio]

Interesting note. Lucario's Double Team. If you happen to Dash Attack it Usmash. It will dodge it and leave you in the perfect place for a smash/tilt/whatever follow up you feel like.

 

[denizen]

i change what i do depending on where in the dash attack i get them

 

[Slurpee]

I usually use Dashes to pick up nanners, so afterwards I turn around and throw them. Or I jump and bair. Or I do a no lag up smash with the c stick. You can do many things from a Dash Attack :D

 

[Mario_ 101]

yeah, just press the jump button real quick and realease it. Remember to tap the button and not hold it or it won't work.
