Advancing the Diddy Kong Metagame

[HappyBear801]

Hoo-Hah doesn't work anymore? Or is it that it deals less damage?

It deals less damage and does less spike (knockback) too I believe, so overall worse.

It's still a good bread-and-butter, though.

These videos could've been combined into one. Half of the second video was just him throwing a banana into an immobile cpu and upsmashing. Throws were interesting and dtilt bair was useful. Nothing was truly "advancing" the Mets and this probably doesn't deserve to hit front page here and reddit with it being very basic.

Yeah. But overall he was nerfed quute a bit. He's still high tier, but not the top of the charts anymore. I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing an interesting Diddy metagame as long as it isn't cheap or overpowered like before the patch. Just let it be interesting.

I hate you diddy

 

[Mochamico]

Why not? Not everyone plays him just because he's high tier. I like Sonic and play him because of that fact.

I've never liked him as a character. Even disregarding the infamous Hoo Hah, to me he's just unfun to play against and unfun to play as. The banana's ridiculous, the chimpanzee voice is grating, he just gets on my nerves no matter who plays him.

um so this is wrong in so many ways. Hoo Hah is now uthrow uair or dthrow double bair. Diddy spacing and omvement is exactly the same. You just have to work harder to kill now. Fsmash still works, usmash is underutilized, bair kills and can be spammed, side b kick can kill, bthrow and fthrow can kill. Diddy is still very good.

"Diddy Kong" and "metagame". Those words...is it possible to use them in a sentence like that?
