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

hey, maybe that's the determining factor for a duo. at least ice climbers can summon, you know ice. what can two monkeys summon (and please don't say poo)

 

[ClarkJables]

i don't know why we still argue the monkey duo thing, we've all made our arguements pro and con and right now it seems like we are regurgitating the same thing over and over again

 

[lanky_gunner]

cause there will always be people arguing for and against it until the confirmation on the site

 

[Kentalish]

whats with all the false hope of diddy not being solo anymore??? we have had more then 3000 post how diddy should be solo now were talking about the possibility of diddy dixie duo... cause that would be a **** move... in diddy kong racing for the 64 there was no dixie DK 64 there was tiny not dixie... but Diddy kong racing DS they added dixie cuz rare was bought by microsoft so they added some none rare characters... and in mario kart double dash Diddy was with DK if there is any dou in the Dk franchise it should be Dixie Kong and her toddler cousin Kiddy Kong as a duo from DCK3

 

[Kentalish]

me neither...partly why im asking lol. i only played DKL2 for gameboy and thers no tagteaming in that

... u had to hit select

i know...believe me i know...but ever since it was brought to my attention that Sakurai was all slap-happy over the Diddy/Dixie combo, the only thing thatll give me peace of mind is Dixie as an AT

... u had to hit select

i know that...i meant the 2-kongs-on-the-screen-at-once kinda deal

 

[Kentalish]

whoeve said sakurai was all slap-happy over the Diddy/Dixie combo can u post the link here

 

[lanky_gunner]

it was on the old japanese smash dojo site, when sakurai did the poll. diddy was requested a lot, but someone mentioned diddy/dixie duo and he thought it was a good idea. my hope in failing is the fact that diddy by himself was mentioned more than the duo

 

[ClarkJables]

someone put the duo idea on the poll and sakurai talked about it. i doubt it'll play out though

well yeah but if Sakurai gets a stupid idea like Diddy/Dixie i just feel he'll make Diddy and Dixie a duo. this is the same guy who made Goroh an AT (though i still dont feel Goroh is signifcant but he appeared in the melee trailer for God's sake)

someone put the duo idea on the poll and sakurai talked about it. i doubt it'll play out though

i dunno, i think an IGN article said he would like to implement more ICs style characters and Diddy and Dixie are the only ones i can think of who fit the bill (nobody better say Sonic and Tails)

 

[Gypsy Lee]

What about Sonic and Tails?

JK LOL

I think the fact that he has his own game series is enough to put him in solo.

 

[ClarkJables]

they could do a bubble bobble duo, that would rock.

 

[the grim lizard]

Well, here's the main thing you guys should think about...say he really wants to give the DK series more rep, and he's low on time or something (I really don't think that's true, btw). But, let's say that for whatever reason he isn't able to give DK more rep than just Diddy and he wants to. Could he possibly team him with Dixie just to give him three reps?

Personally, not that I care for the character, but K. Rool adds to the villains list, and he helps DK more of like a hero than just some big hairy ape who used to steal princesses away from Mario, aka "jumpman"...Anyway, you think this would be a reason that Sakurai might do the duo??

 

[ClarkJables]

well i think it would be harder to program a duo team then a single entity, so it would actually save him time if he put diddy solo if he was running low on time, because then he could put in 80 dk ATs

 

[Gypsy Lee]

Yeah, it takes a long time to program the duos. Because Sakurai wanted the Ice Climber duo so bad in Melee and there were technical difficulties, he had his team stop working on Mach Rider and Balloon Fighter so that they could finish the Ice Climbers before the deadline. It's all a matter of what Sakurai thinks is best.

 

[Del Money]

and he's low on time or something (I really don't think that's true, btw)

for the record, i never bought that either

But, let's say that for whatever reason he isn't able to give DK more rep than just Diddy and he wants to. Could he possibly team him with Dixie just to give him three reps?

i thought about the killing one character rep slot with two monkeys idea a while ago and i think its a secondary reason to Sakurai's eagerness to have another duo incorporated into brawl. and were kiddy kong even popular at all, then he would definitely be teamed with dixie and diddy would go solo but theres far too many stacked in the duo's favor even though diddy is more than capable of going solo for brawl

well i think it would be harder to program a duo team then a single entity, so it would actually save him time if he put diddy solo if he was running low on time, because then he could put in 80 dk ATs

perhaps...but youre missing the point. porgrammablility has nothing to do with it, especially when WE dont even know the developmental progress of the game at this point. the point is that Diddy's fate as being solo or part of a duo depends on how Sakurai deems Diddy's playability in both rgards and how much representation he wants to give the DK series. time isnt really a factor

 

[Chief Mendez]

You know, regardless of how much Sakurai likes the idea of Diddy and Dixie, all the DK stuff we've seen so far comes from the entry in the franchise that has neither of those characters...

Just food for thought.

i dont see where youre going with this...

 

[lanky_gunner]

just thought i'd give diddy one more shout out before i head off to bed

diddy for brawl

 

[Joe Soup]

He means that Diddy (and Dixie) might not even be in Brawl at all, because of their notable absence from the series's most recent games.

>_<

 

[SmashChu]

He means that Diddy (and Dixie) might not even be in Brawl at all, because of their notable absence from the series's most recent games.

No, their in the games. Chekc out King of Swing and Bongo Blast.

I'm not sure he'd go with the duo idea. Just becuase how would he get it to work without it just being the IC version of Donkey Kong(meaning not as cool).

 

[Del Money]

but...Sakurai's poll. and Dixie was a melee trophy

 

[lanky_gunner]

huh, i'm still on the boards. guess i'm not sleepy yet...

still, the only way to stop the debate is with a confirmation. then again there's gonna be an argument over why it sucks or why it rules.

either way, diddy's still in

 

[Del Money]

dixie as an AT is all i need

 

[Joe Soup]

Oh yeah...good points, SmashChu + Del Money.

NVM. I was never supporting him anyway, just translating his post.

 

[lanky_gunner]

however, when will that come? will it come before diddy is announced, or after? will it lead up to a Diddy confirmation or come as a surprise after Diddy's been announced?

EDIT: actually what would be really cool was the confirmation of an AT called "Kongs" and it shows the individual Kongs and what they can do. then at the bottom is says "But wait, one of the Kongs is missing!" then under it is Diddy

 

[Del Money]

@J-Soup
yeah i figured you were just the middleman

@colbusman
if Diddy is announced solo then therell be no need to care about the Dixie AT, unless youre a Dixie fan and want her playable as well. therefore the Dixie ATwillhave to come before Diddy is announced in order to make me happy

 

[bksands77]

Diddy Kong for Brawl

i always thought he needed to be somewhere in the smash series, i have always liked him better than donkey kong, and thought that the donkey kong series has needed more representation in its character roster

i just hope that he is not placed in a team with dixie, that would ruin his whole character

 

[SmashChu]

EDIT: actually what would be really cool was the confirmation of an AT called "Kongs" and it shows the individual Kongs and what they can do. then at the bottom is says "But wait, one of the Kongs is missing!" then under it is Diddy

Like that idea. That's pretty much what ATs are.

 

[Chief Mendez]

He means that Diddy (and Dixie) might not even be in Brawl at all, because of their notable absence from the series's most recent games.

Not quite. It's not that "they're not in the latest entry of the franchise, so they won't be in", but rather that they weren't in Jungle Beat, which is apparently (if what we've seen so far is a good judge--and it is) the only DK game Sakurai's pulling stuff from.

No, their in the games. Chekc out King of Swing and Bongo Blast.

Bongo Blast isn't even out yet, and in regards to KoS, see above (my response to Joe Soup).

And for the record, I'm okay with Diddy, but Dixie doesn't have a place as a playable character.

 

[Joe Soup]

Sry about the misinterpretation, Chief.

And I do agree that Dixie shouldn't be joining as her own character. She either goes Ice Climber with Diddy (which I think is a horrible idea >_<) or she's not in at all.

 

[Del Money]

um the FS and its damage effect looks too remininscent of DK's Bongo Blast attack from DK64. and DK's appearance is reminiscent of DKC1/DKL1

 

[Chief Mendez]

Um, you're splitting hairs about his appearance.

As for the bongos, the move is called "Konga Beat", as in reference to the Donkey Konga games. Which used the DK Bongo controller, which was also used in Jungle Beat. Lots of graphical effects use musical notes, and any resemblance to DK64 is purely coincidental.

 

[Kentalish]

... ok back to diddy im serial when i say somone should send this thread to nintendo as for moves i think >a should use a tail and somthing new... if Noone likes the popguns diddy can throw his hat... just thunking ontop of my head

 

[Del Money]

Um, you're splitting hairs about his appearance.

well many other people who saw him so theday his profile was released said the same thing as me. nonetheless if his appearance is insignifcant then at least it makes me feel like theyre taking a more modern approach with brawl and thus diddy being solo is more likely

... ok back to diddy im serial when i say somone should send this thread to nintendo as for moves i think >a should use a tail and somthing new... if Noone likes the popguns diddy can throw his hat... just thunking ontop of my head

i dont mind the popguns, theres just a couple of people who do. and "no" to hat-throwing

 

[Chief Mendez]

I dig.

Like me. Seriously, if DK can have a moveset devoid of watermelon bazooka's or whatever the crap he had in DK64...then so can Diddy, and all the better he'll be for it.

 

[Kentalish]

im all for the popguns... just a move idea

HOLY ****!!! Someone agrees with me!?

w00t go Chief. Show 'em how it's done.

smash came out before DK64 so who knows what woulda happened if it had come out after

 

[Del Money]

i KNOW ive said that before too
