He’s much different now, but still a functional character. He just has a realllll bad disadvantage state now and it’s worse because his air speed is bad and recovery severely worsened as well.How do you feel about ? He looks good but not as good as SSB4 but IDK much about him.
Bananas are not safe on shield anymore and grabs as much riskier, but Diddy can still work with them. F Smash seems to kill earlier, Rocket Barrels also allow for surprise kills, D Tilt U Smash is still a thing, N Air sets up greatly for aerial assaults as well as improved dash attack.
Here’s some footage of a online battle I fought

Diddy is more of a evasive punisher, and needs to be played drastically different than before. Requires more thought, planning, and you really gotta aim for the perfect opening now. Luckily it’s easy to bait as Diddy, because hitting him sets up to easy combos so people get greedy often and try risky moves, and Diddy can capitalize on that a lot.
I think he does great vs Chrom honestly.
