I hope they don't use his guitar as his Final Smash, but then again, what other thing could they use? I'm guessing all of the Kong's final smashes will be from Dk 64 in case they even put another Kong in the game to begin with.

I doubt we'll see another Kong. Diddy was a stretch, another one would be kinda over the limit.

Just IMO. It seems like a stretch for me because I couldn't imagine a MS for him. But then again, I had forgotten about his peanut shooter etc.

They can still put another one I guess, plus Mario has like 8 characters in the game.

I can't beleive you said diddy was a strecht!!??!?!
He is one of THE most important characters in regards to popularity and significance in the nintendo world among characters not in melee...and not being able to come up with a MS would be fixed by reading more of this thread and/or the fact that he's a monkey with a tail and has a history of games with accessories and moves to go along with him.
SCRAMBLE~~~~!

It would be funny if his down B did switch to Dixie just to spite the people celebrating that there will be no tagteam.
But I do think that Dixie on her own would be a waste. I wanted them to use team moves like in the DK Country games.
I was worried that Diddy would not bring anything new to the game (and he still might not), but Sakurai's promise of a hyper monkey always on the move is interesting.
I just hope he is not Pikachu with Fox's moves.

The reason I said he was a stretch was because he never had a really popular game that was centered solely around him except maybe Diddy Kong Racing

I love how two people spelled stretch wrong.
'Diddy' is a slang word used in some parts of northern England for 'small'
Therefore I think Diddy will be a light character, but not the lightest.

Really?
Diddy seemed like an obvious addition, to me. DK DESPERATELY needed another rep from his franchise, and if it was going to be anyone, it was going to be Diddy. And it is. If they decided to fit in one more, I think they totally could. Though that might be a bit of a stretch.
I read some of the earlier posts in this thread and saw that some people thought Diddy would be a DK clone if he got in—a laughable thought, in my opinion. I'm not a huge fan of Kongs in the first place, but Diddy is, by far, the one I'd most like to try out. If there's one monkey I'm going to frequent, it'll be Diddy.
But is anyone else bothered by the Nintendo plug on his hat? Why does Diddy have to be a walking, fighting billboard for the company when the whole game does a great job of that anyway?
Also, I have an idea for how his peanut pop gun might work. Press B (or whatever combination the gun may be) and he pulls out the gun and kind of "locks" to the ground. Then, press A to shoot a peanut (moves slowly but is not effected by gravity) and move the cursor to control what direction you fire. The peanuts bounce of things at odd angles, kind of like Dr. Mario's pills (so if you aim the gun at the ground, the peanut will bounce up and his someone in the air). Then press B a second time to get out of "gun mode".
If Diddy's in the air, then the gun works much more like Luigi's fireballs.
Just a thought.

I just hope Diddy keeps his traditional kart wheel attack. Probably as a dash attack.

Seems probable to me. I imagine he'll use his tail for his neautral A attacks, too.

Does nintendo own each and every character from the Rare-made DK games?
Could there possibly be licensing issues with some of the others?

I'm still in awe of the fact that Diddy/Dixie Tag Team was proposed BEFORE Solo Diddy was!
Anyway, 270 somethin pages? You guys, you're just wasting space on this forum. There's no reason for debate when it comes to Diddy being in Brawl. He WILL be in Brawl.

Spike, it's because this was here a while back. Well, there's no use debating about whether or no Diddy Kong will be Brawl or not. He looks like a fun character to play with.
Oh the irony of that post about "wasting space on this forum". Diddy can be discussed thoroughly about his moveset and people at the moment are just over the moon about his inclusion. Don't start whining about forum space, there's far more useless spam topics being created all the time and many of the members posting in this thread have spent months and years supporting Diddy's inclusion. They at least and more than anyone deserve this. Closing down the topic because he's confirmed? Not a chance in hell.

They own every Kong, Kremling, Animal Buddy, and anyone who first appeared in the DKC series.
Rare owns everyone who appeared in the original Diddy Kong Racing besides Diddy and Krunch
So there's no legal issues. Diddy's hat says Nintendo for crying out loud.
Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding me that. It's still pretty crazy though. I really want to play as him. I'm starting to wonder what they are going to do so that he won't be a fast DK if you know what I mean. I just hope they don't go overboard with it.

Actually, the only characters from the original DKR that Rare owns are Conker and Banjo. Tiptup and the gang are Nintendo's.

That is what I was thinking. The peanut should be like Doctor Mario's pills. Except they should be quicker and be able to cover much more distance. To balance it out the peanuts should have no stun effect, but gain it after a few bounces. The peanut should even bounce of characters.

I've heard that on the Diddy Kong Racing DS box, it says some characters are still owned by Rare. And Banjo and Conker got the boot off that game. Who knows.

Tiptup for brawl!! That would be so sweet.

It.
They could be from DK 64 seeing as how Diddy is getting the peanut popguns and barrel jet pack, the bongo idea came from there as well.

Timber was my favorite character in that game. Timber for Brawl all the way <3

moar liek, w00t for making useless posts to greatly increase post count
how would that be funny? why does everyone think that the down+B is so rejected? it was the ICs-type duo that we were so against. not the switching. 2 kongs on screen simultaneously VS 1 kong on screen = THERES A DIFFERENCE
thats actually insanely funny. havent had a decent laugh all day yet so thatll have to do
it makes sense. however it could instead be a forward+B since the cartwheel is a Diddy signature move. but then again, the Chimpy Charge from DK64 might be used for forward+B instead. i dunno, whatever works.
thank God for intelligence
confirm Sonic and id be all set
