Ok, I was playing some matches with a friend of mine, he was using Marth and I was using Diddy.
We were just kinda messing around and I noticed something about Diddy's Up-B.
Now, if this has been discussed before just ignore this topic, or point me in the direction of any threads about this.
Anyway, when Marth did his up smash, if I timed up-B correctly, instead of falling while charging Up-B I would continue upwards while still charging. It seems to do this with any upwards momentum. I am fairly sure what is hapening is that if you time it right and do a very short jump into the Up B using the momentum of the attack your Up B charge moves you upwards.
I tried it with Marth's up throw, up smash, and side smash and it worked fairly reliably.
I am not sure what this could be used for, but I thought it was pretty interesting. Any thoughts?
Edit: Ok, I played around with it a bit more, and basically it makes it so the charge of Diddy's Up B is turned into a jump and not only that, but if you time it right, you will float in the air while finishing the charge after the jump finishes. Using this when knocked off the edge with a side smash I was getting even more amazing recovery distance than Diddy already has. Has anyone been seeing this happen?

Edit3: Ok, so it seems using your second jump into Up-B after being hit is the trick from what people have been posting. The latest I could get it to work after being hit was about half-way through his flip after being hit.

Ok, I got a 14 dollar camera and made this video demonstrating just the charge jump, notice how it doesn't just go horizontally, but vertically as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-oY_-o3dKk
