    Why is duckhunt and lylat being banned?

    Well yeah that's why it's a counter pick stage

    Why is duckhunt and lylat being banned?

    Last local I went to they had both stages banned. It is supposed to be this way from now on. So now smash 4 has LESS legal stages than melee. Wtf? In my opinion it's a terrible change and I wish it never went through. I play diddy and both those stages (especially DH) were very good counter...

    Went to my first local, feel like giving up

    Welp, went my 2nd time. Lost the first set. Completely did not know what to do. I feel like when I play I get scared and never do the things I want to do. I just shield a ton and mess up my tech, etc. really sloppy stuff. My losers match I won; so yeah I won a match. I felt very relieved I must...

    How to catch diddy's banana a certain way

    hey guys, i've been maining diddy for about over a year now and was wondering something specific about the banana catch. I, of course always use the grab button to catch a banana after down B, but I myself notice sometimes the most "optimal" way to catch the banana is how you can catch it with...

    Went to my first local, feel like giving up

    Yeah, I feel like people took advantage of me. Everyone there has tournament experience and had been there before. If you win 1 set, you usually have to face off on some of the best who attend there. I just wish someone told me how to improve or something... both my opponents seemed detached to...

    Went to my first local, feel like giving up

    Ok, yeah I got 2-0'd. Yeah it was my first tournament... yeah.. what can you expect? Everday I play smash for fun and enjoyment. To get away from **** and to just simply have fun. Today I finally decided to take a step further and attend a tournament. I am a dedicated diddy kong main but I'm...

    What is the general consensus on Diddy's tier placement?

    Yeah that's the thing. Sheik, Rosalina, and ZSS to me can potentially be #1. Diddy being top 5 is a definite for me, but the best? Does this list suggest diddy kong is the best character in the game? Because that wouldn't be right. He's pretty even between the other top tiers. I wish they put...

    What is the general consensus on Diddy's tier placement?

    I see a lot of people rating him as high as top 3 or 5. But generally top 10-15. Where do you guys think he'll place in the final tier list roughly? EDIT: I just saw the new BR tier list and it has diddy ranked as #1. Really? Better than Rosalina, Sheik, Zss? Etc? Him being #1 almost makes it...

    Need help with side b reversal

    hello, I'm a dedicated diddy main and pretty much know all the advance techs the game has. I've been playing a while and beat other diddy mains who know side B reversal (on FG at least).. I just can't seem to learn it. I've looked at videos online and whatnot, did not really help. I CAN do the...

    Being called a 'spammer' on FG

    I'm a diddy main and have been playing smash 4 for almost a year now. I play when friends come over too and whatnot. I can say I'm pretty confident with my diddy as far as FG goes... I maintain a 60+% win rate which is nice but on several occasions now, people have changed their names to...

    Another Year: Smash 4 Results at EVO 2016

    The thing is, if you watch 2015 evo and compare, I feel like this year his movement/timing and just overall performance was better yet he did not win. Kamemushi's megaman is top level, as a diddy main I find a good megaman is really hard to get through. Maybe it's just me but idk.

    Diddy Kong banana bait fsmash kill technique

    Hey guys I'm a relatively new Diddy main (been smashing hard since september) and I just thought I'd share a technique I use to kill my opponents in either FG or when my friend comes over (whos been playing smash a lot longer than I have) I'll try to explain this the best I can. As you know...

    Q&A Diddy's Q&A + Competitive Development - ASK QUESTIONS HERE

    Hey, I have a question about how I press my buttons. Learning to instinctively short hop f-fair with diddy I tend to hold my thumb over X (jump) and slide it a bit to A, almost like clicking them as a button. Im trying to avoid doing this, but was wondering if anyone else does it this way and if...
