As someone who is relatively new to Diddy, I'm disappointed that only two of the official custom sets have Back Flip. To me it seems criminally underrated, it lends itself to some really good mixups and crazy mindgames. I think the main downside is that if you have it AND Rocketbarrel Attack, then you don't really have any recovery, and considering how good that is I think that's the main reason people don't use it. But besides that, why don't people use Back Flip more?

The Jaguar Tooth Back Flip can't grab people, which is pretty much the only thing stopping people from
just holding shield when he's got a banana. It has uses, but ultimately the command grab is more helpful to Diddy.
Plus any time you use it you risk either losing stage control or getting punished for kicking.
