That Konga Drum move is reminiscient of Donkey's special move thingamajigger from Donkey Kong 64...and I have a very hard time believing that Nintendo completely forgot about that move, and it's a coincidence it's used in Brawl.

Melee came out after DK64, so HA!bluebomber22 said:
Seriously people...the move's NOT being pulled from DK64. How do I know? Because DK's playing on a set of DK Bongo Controllers, not an N64's "trident".Joe Soup said:
And I could easily see Ninty wanting to forget DK64. For how much it took to make, it definitely didn't sell that well...

Yes, but DK's moveset had already been made and there was no reason to change it.
Actually DK's music special in DK64 uses his Bongos, which came out WAY before his gay bongo game on the gamecube. So they got the inspiration from the cube game which got it from DK64
On topic, Diddy 4 brawl
then tell me why Diddy still has a jetbarrel in mario power tennis?

But it's called KONGA Beat. Diddy and Dixie appeared in the Donkey Konga series.
And you have to remember, so far most of the stuff they revealed so far was part of the Gamecube era. We haven't had much info shown about more nostaligc stuff.

I could have sworn DK64 sold well, but i've missed out on that discussion.
Anyways, Diddy should retain some of the DK64 moves because they are diffrent than DK's. It makes him stand out more. You don't want anything to simmilar people. The only possibly way to make a good Diddy moveset without DK64 refrences is to tag team him with Dixie.
Also, why are so many people ragging on DK's look? It's not that diffrent at all. >_>

I think Diddy Kong is a shoe-in for a BB roster spot. I personally would think it's awesome seeing him there.

see i think donkey will represent the newer line of the series, while diddy will be the retro DK character, drawing moves from DK64 and DKC1 and 2 (not through partners!!!)

what happenes is diddy turns out to be an at that would suck donkey ****
ClarkJables

god i hope sakurai doesn't do that
its not gonna happen...its a matter of Diddy being solo, so Sakurai going through with lowering Diddy to 1/2-character status...which this boy wont take too kindly to

I sure hope Diddy doesn't get stuck with Dixie, Ice-Climber style. Either he gets his own character, or he shouldn't be in at all.

Who's using the red font? That's patented, you know, lol.

Hey, guys. I started that moveset today and I was just wondering if anyone knows where to find some gifs of the little guy.
I know it's off topic, but this was at the bottom of the page, so I needed to bump it.

weird, i thought i posted earlier today? maybe it didn't get through. oh well, i'll say again what i said earlier.
because ike was tied for second on the poll, i think this increases ridley, geno, and DIDDY's chances even more than they used to be

It just takes awhile. And even after I have finished, I'll probably have to update it several times.are you gonna surprise us? or is there something special youre doing regards the GIFs that youll be willing to telll us about?
Gypsy Lee
Smash Champion
What could I possibly be doing with GIFs!!??
oh i thought you were creating custom animations for your Diddy moveset...ya know...to demonstrate the moves. i figured why else would you be taking so long
Gypsy Lee
Smash Champion
Yeah, that is why I'm taking so long. Oh, and the short story sized wall of text that describes each move, costume, color, game, stage and so on, but that only takes about two or three minutes to brainstorm and type.

does anyone have strikers besides me? did you see what they did to diddy? they turned him into an indian (dot, not feather) priest or something. his music is middle eastern, and his megastrike he's in a position like he's meditating.
weird, wonder why they turned him into this

Yeah. Of all the stupid ideas... it's as if the Strikers' developers noticed Diddy Kong was a monkey, thought of the old Monkey King legends (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_King), and went bonkers.
It's an outrageous connection and completely ignores who Diddy actually is.
