Diddy Kong Appreciation Thread: From Dinky to Diddy, From the Jungle to the Brawl.

[Del Money]

what other items?

like maybe orange grenades (from DK64)...or a way to release Rambi the rhino or Expresso the ostrich (though those might as well be ATs....DAMM THATS A GREAT FRIGGIN IDEA...POINTS FOR ME HAHA). iit sad to say the DKC series didnt really leave much in the way of items. even worse cuz most platforms game usually have a ballsload of items

i would like diddy to be in it only if he had his own kind of attacks and not like DK's. I dont want another clone in the game.

you can remove that thought from your head. he wont be a clone if hes in, dont worry.

 

[Pieman0920]

Diddy can't be a clone of DK, due to his body type. Diddy also has is own moves so it is easy to make his move set.

There really are not many items left that the DK series could use. Why the banana wasn't DK, I'll never know, and AT's get rid of the possibility of animal crates. Orange Grenades would be like Bomb-Ombs, so they are not needed, and most of the Kong's guns are also unneeded due to the other shooting weapons.

yeah i only just realized that about the orange grenade. and all kongs except diddy's guns for his moveset (which is probably why you said "most" so ill just shut the **** up now and refrain from double posting again)

 

[SmashChu]

AS for alt colors, he has the yell and blue from Donkey Kong Country when you play multiplayer.

Screw alt. colours. Give him a Dixie costume

 

[Kentalish]

i can think of a couple costumes... diddy with hat backwards with glasses from dkc2 yellow and blue from multi player... i like the jetpack with penut special idea cuz the guitar idea u cant move and it would be 2 cheap cuz noone could get away

 

[The Mac04]

The alt colors in DK64 for multi were cool. Might as well use those if we're going to use colors. If it's costumes, I'm not really sure.

 

[lanky_gunner]

ya know, just for that...lol jk...but still Diddy pwnz/Ridley pwnz. and that brings up at interesting idea, what if more items from the DK series are represented in brawl...apart from those ****ing barrels *hopes to start up conversation to bring the Diddy thread back to former glory*

has there ever been any dk items? i mean anything dk related is sort of used as a smash bros. item (barrels and bananas are the only ones i can think of, and both use the smash bros. emblem)

what's up with that?!

 

[GreenKirby]

Only the Barrel Cannon and it only lasts for like 5 seconds

 

[Del Money]

please never say that again

what's up with that?!

i know right? and orange grenades are out cuz of bo-bomb. animal crates might be pointless if they can just be ATs. and of the kongs' guns are out cuz of the shooting weapons we already have (and Diddy's most probably for his moveset). theres pretty much nothing else i can think of

Only the Barrel Cannon and it only lasts for like 5 seconds

and its worthless as hell too

 

[lanky_gunner]

Only the Barrel Cannon and it only lasts for like 5 seconds

ah, but like i said, it's under the smash bros. emblem, not DK's.

so DK franchise doesn't have any items whatsoever. that blows big time

EDIT: wait, i'm mistaken. i thought you still meant the barrel. ok, dk has 1 item

at least on the plus side, the DKC series proved that a platforming game series can still be successful with little to no powerfuls. good job, DK. youve always been my favorite nintendo franchise. mario was 2nd but zelda recently replaced it...Diddy 4 Brawl

@ Mac04 or whatever your username is

what the hell were you thinking with that 2nd Diddy thread?

Ridley thread started that. Actually...colbusman started it. So, same thing.

BTW, costumes are dumb.

 

[The Mac04]

Do you mean the alt. colors he showed or costumes in general being dumb and you like alt. colors, like they had in melee, better?

 

[SmashChu]

I think he means that different coustumes are dumb(like Mario having a Dr. Mario costume). In Melee, colors work fine.

 

[The Mac04]

Actually, I think that's a good idea. Then people who like Doc could play as him. (assuming he gets cut.) And if we're lucky, costumes could make very slight stat changes. YL anyone? (although I want him redone with a mask moveset)

hate to burst your bubble but sakurai wouldnt include anything rareware included in their game so the idea of your diddy with a jetpack and pistols has more of a chance of appearing in real life than it does in brawl, if diddy kong WAS included it'd be with his original moveset based around tail flips(DKC) and other simian, agility-focused moves MAYBE something with bananas but the moveset presented on the thread is pretty creative and eventhough diddy kong was an integral part of my childhood(my first SNES game was DKC) you got to face the facts he will most likely not even be playable at all

Diddy used his jetpack in Mario Power Tennis.

not so. rare doesnt own **** when it comes to the DK series and even if you were right...*points to Mac04s quote*

Diddy used his jetpack in Mario Power Tennis.

rare took banjo kazooie and a bunch of other stuff. DK series has always been nintendo. if rare took the DK series or any of its add-ons...Diddy wouldnt be appearing so much in Mario multiplayer games period and DK Jet sure as hell wouldnt be in the making

 

[NeoSoul]

Please, inlighten me.

first off rare ware not being a second party or 'in-house" developers and "westerners" made the basemodel that theyre expecting in brawl, with accessories on a core character it'd be like luigi having a vacuum... useless and uninventive I say westerners because sakurai tends to stick with the designs laid out by nintendos core team (IE: how he opts for the design on samus after the zero GBA game in favor of the PRime series in the Gamecube developed by retro an american studio)

long story short even if diddy kong does appear at all AT or otherwise he definately wont have 'guns' or 'jetpacks'

 

[NeoSoul]

well put, diddy kong using his jetpack in another game is news to me.... now who develops mario tennis? I believe camelot software handles those games not nintendo directly its not their style lets look at who uses accesories and more importantly how:

without bringing up zelda or link whos moves are based on the very nature of their "quest resolution armament"

Mario: cape; temporary appearance, reflects/reverses/spins
Peach: Parasol; moderate appearance, attacks,floats
-toad; momentary appearance/cameo, shield reversal technique

thats all that comes to mind for now, but its all momentary and not out of character, because those accesories are staples to those characters and immidiately recognizeable

NOW bringin up the point of wario having a bike, thats fine, it fits the mold of the character but a monkey with guns and a jetpack just doesnt fit together

 

[The Mac04]

Dude I don't think you realize how cool a monkey with guns and a jetpack is.

 

[NeoSoul]

Dude I don't think you realize how cool a monkey with guns and a jetpack is.

lmao ok... your weird android monkey is the result of lazy design and will not be in the game

 

[The Mac04]

Lol, earlier you said he was an integral part of your childhood.

 

[NeoSoul]

Lol, earlier you said he was an integral part of your childhood.

yea awesome quick nimble funny diddy kong not the prostitution of him as a jetpackwearing gun slinger if diddy is even in he best not have all taht maybe as afinal smash move because the very idea of one escapes me

 

[Del Money]

but a monkey with guns and a jetpack just doesnt fit together

neither does an airship racer in skin-tight spandex. why dont you give me a moveset for diddy then that excludes the peanuts popguns and the jetpack?

Dude I don't think you realize how cool a monkey with guns and a jetpack is.

it is kinda cool...definitely the highlight of my DK64 experience. and though the jetpack is now offically Diddy's trademark the popguns are more of DK64. but then again a good Diddy moveset couldnt possibly be based off of DKC alone (unless NeoSoul can prove me wrong)

 

[lanky_gunner]

sigh, i'm guessing you're not a big diddy fan. alright, here i go...

Diddy is a part of the DK series. when rare was sold off, nintendo let them keep everything they created EXCEPT anything part of the DK series or Star Fox series (seeing as how they made adventures)

what you're saying is Diddy won't be able to use his jetpack and peanut guns cause he used them in DK64, a rare developed game. however you shouldn't look farther than Mario Power Tennis, as Diddy does use his jetpack in the game. plus you stated it has to be recognizable, but really this goes out to all diddy fans. What item do you associate with Diddy the most?

I rest my case

I'm sure if the popguns were excluded, they could find something else for that special move. Also DK64 Diddy and Power Tennis Diddy were the best. In Power Tennis he was so agile and stuff. He was flipping and handstanding. It was awesome.

no I cannot, Im completely against him being a playable character he lacks substance thats why you have to resort to peanut guns and jetpacks as a means of ammo, hes not worthy of a spot

tell you what though.... diddy and dixie in a team would work out awesome, the new ice climbers and the new scrolling DK stage backs my claims

How is using weapons that fire food projectiles lacks substande? If anything, Fox's blaster lacks substance.

And for the record, just because there's a Rainbow Cruise/Infinity Mountain type DK stage doesn't mean Diddy and Dixie will in the game together.

 

[The Mac04]

The DK stage promotes the team no more than it promotes them seperate.

 

[Pieman0920]

The Jetpack has shown up multiple times, and lends itself to being his up B. There are other options, but they are just not as good. The same goes for the peanuts (Minus the appearing outside of DK64)

It's like Mario's fireball. It just screams "Neutral B" more than any other move. Same goes for Diddy's peanut guns.

objection
i propose diddy and dixie team ice climbers style

^B: diddy throws dixie up and follows her
>B: sommersault
B: loads dixie on his back B again unloads >B: smash throw dixie
vB: eh i got nothin....

But there's the problem. IC should stay unique.
