A useful tip for Diddy kong users

[Timcanpy]

This maybe will not help some players, but just because they know, and use it all the time.
Im talking about pick bananas with Z button. This is very useful if is added in your game, specially en stages with plattforms, like al neutrals exccept FD xD.
For the people who have trouble with keeping control of its bananas, or making use of its. this will improve your banane game a lot.
For example, in battlefield, theres a banana in one of the lowers plattforms, with a short hop u can Z pick it, and inmediately counterattack with it, or something else. This work too with the higher plattform, but just doing a full hop. This make your game more fluid too.

Just try it, if you are not doing this.
this can be basic, but i think its really useful, maybe more than discover some new technique

If you wanna see this, a good exaple are the Gano videos, in Ketubato tournamente, look the finals videos of Gano vs the metaknight ( i cant remember his nick), and it will be more clear to understand, why your game maybe can imporove.


Srry if the english is poor, :S

Stupid gano, stealing my idea =p

 

[IDK]

i felt nooby when i asked how to do what gano was doing in the most successful diddys thread. but i think it's known now. don't know for how long though. i guess this is a useful thread for those who don't know. because i'm on the diddy boards all the time and didn't know about it, so maybe it isnt too well known yet.

Its not, I watch plenty of diddy vids and more than half air dodge them. Unless the just dont want to?

I played Peach (amongst others) in Melee.
I know the value of Z catching. : )

I use to Z-catch nanas on BF but I've found F-Air catching them is better because it creates space between you/your opponent and often times you'll hit them as they go for the banana at the same time as you.

 

[PhantomX]

I usually aerial catch them as well (either bair or fair), unless I just want a really quick grab to move away from whoever my opponent is. It's nice to mix it up, and it's certainly a better option than airdodging unless they're trying to hit you at the same time

i agree, but not always, thats depend of the situation. in some situations, F-Air catching helps , to create space or hit the opponent, but nos always is needed make the space, and is better throw fast a banana, or just catch it fast for defense, i think you understand my point. Aerials-Catch helps a lot when the opponent is going for ur banana ( the same idea that make space or hit the opponent, in context)

Z rulz, but i like aerials, my opponents always try and grab my nanaz, good thread tho, for info :D...

i think, catching bananas with Z, u can pressure more, and they cant get near of the bananas, but ,aerials are useful to catch too

 

[mangamusicfan]

great tip
i am going to use it

 

[AlphaZealot]

As with everything, there are always exceptions.

 

[pastaboy]

good tip il have to start using it instead of airdodgeing

 

[IDK]

i now use all of the catches. if they throw it at me, im likely to SHAD. if i'm picking it up off a platform and plan to immediately throw it, say, after they're already tripped by my other banana, and ill aerial them for the reason AZ stated.
