Diddy Kong B Move Thread

[smashbot226]

Time to review my favorite char's B moveset!

B: YAY! DK64 memoir! A mediocre one as well. Chargeability saves it from substandardness, but the extra effect of healing yourself (or foes) is definitely useful.

B^: I love, but am confused by, this move. The damage can be from alright to almighty, the boost in height and distance is astounding, and the effect if you are hit during it sounds sick, but the aiming could get a bit... awkward.

BV: I find this one disappointing. Throwing out items is an old mov by Peach, but BANANA PEELS??? I know he is a monkey, but seriously, this move rarely lives up to expectations! If enemies can turn it against you, it isn't reliable.

B>: I like this move. Command throws are always fun. Just like Bowser''s, this move makes me giggle with joy as I watch Diddy rack up the damage meter. Rocketboost, Tilt Uair, aerial dair, and as soon as they recover, B side. Lovin it...

 

[Kentalish]

u might as well say what the moves are named man Down B if u could time it right u could probably edge gaurd with it.

the up b u have full controll when its fully charged

did u go to e for all?

 

[smashbot226]

Yes, but I didn't get ful playtime with Diddy, as I got being killed by the hordes of Meta Knight mainers...

HE ISNT TOP TIER PEOPLE!!!!

Back on topic, thx for telling me. I don't fully charge it because you sometimes don't need to.

[smashbot226]

Good to see someone who thinks MK is overrated.

 

[phate]

I don't get his down b at all. Does he throw it on the ground and people slip on it or what?

 

[smashbot226]

Strange arc, actually.

He tosses it in a high arc behind him, not in front of him. So if it can hit someone unlucky enough to be behind and above Diddy.

 

[Collective of Bears]

What are his V and > B moves and what do they do?

 

[smashbot226]

BV: He tosses a Banana Peel item over his head. Similar to Peach's BV, except it doesn't disappear if it hits the ground.

B>: A leap that is also a command throw. Like Boozer's, except faster but weaker.

 

[MirageofMadness]

This may be a silly question, but what do you mean by "command throw?" You say it's like Bowsers, but I am having trouble imagining that. Are you saying Diddy leaps forard onto the opponent, and flips them around/body slams them? Also, what can you do if you choose not to throw the opponent? You know how Bowser can just hold you and take bites outta you, so what does Diddy do, smack them?

Also from what I can tell, the vB move, banana peel toss, seems really lame. Like... what? The banana peel is already in the game as an item! They couldn't at least make it a giant peel? It just doesn't feel like it sets him apart very much from the other characters. Altogether though, I still can't wait to try him out ^.^

 

[Kentalish]

for his forward b all i know is u can cancle it with a sex kick and that u can use it as a spike to kill people

Down b best move

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

just a question. can you peanut while in his up special?

 

[smashbot226]

Nooooooooooooope.

Only as his Final Smash.

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

okies thanks.

this post is from mac in david jones. lol

 

[Cranberry Rogue]

While I did play as Diddy for a few rounds at E for All, I never really utilized (or used, for that matter) his down-B move. For anyone else that did play as him, are you able to influence the trajectory of the banana peels in any way after you throw them? Think Yoshi's egg toss, except....you know, backwards.

If you can't even do that, then (at least right now) it looks like a fairly pointless move.

Orange Grenades for Brawl!

 

[smashbot226]

1. Nope, at least I don't think so...


2. Orange Grenades 4 Item!!!

 

[KingDedede2]

m starting to re think if i will main him or to make him my secondary cause he seems so cool guess il just wait to see hoe King DEdede is

 

[Kentalish]

noones answered my question can u use down b as edge gaurd and can u use in air

 

[RandomGuy42]

I'd like a few more details on his Side Special too, please.

I think I've seen it in videos. He dashes a short bit forward and grabs his opponent. From there I'm a little fuzzy. I know he can attack his enemy while holding them, but throws, too? Clarification would be helpful, thanks.

 

[gamer8]

Just a question smashbot... Do you make these topics for every character?

 

[Ca$hoholic]

I find it weird that diddy kong is the most explosive character in the game... and how did you find B> and B V?

He went to the E for all.

 

[smashbot226]

Yep.


For the people. Unless there is already one like for Ike. I didn't seem to find one for Sonic, but the one I made got closed...

 

[N1c2k3]

Yo, Smashbot, update this **** eh? So ppl stop making a bunch of move-related threads. It would help out a lot. If you don't feel like it, ask some1 else to, or something. Just trying to keep this place organized...

 

[Iboid]

Diddy's got a pretty cool moveset. My favorite move would have to be the Peanut Pop Gun.

 

[The Noob Legend]

Yes, but I didn't get ful playtime with Diddy, as I got being killed by the hordes of Meta Knight mainers...

HE ISNT TOP TIER PEOPLE!!!!

Back on topic, thx for telling me. I don't fully charge it because you sometimes don't need to.

I am supposed to believe this from somebody who hadn't played Diddy to his full potential?
Just because he isn't easy to use, doesn't make him low tier.

So if you didn't play him to his full potential, and you were being killed by better players(or is Meta Knight just cheap?), then who are you to tell us who's top tier or not?

That's exactly what..
Metaknight is like Sheik in Melee, combo master.
Kind of like Diddy, with no strong smash attacks.

He can't either.
Nobody can.
Tiers are just a silly way to rank characters based on tournament results.

This angers me.

On a side note, can the banana peel be of controlled range?
For example, lets say you are edgeguarding, can you simply drop a banana straight down somehow?

 

[Arawanach]

if he doesn't get he's rolling atack, then he loses most of the things I like with him... the peanut gun bothers me a little... don't missunderstand me, but I liked Donkey Kong 64 a lot, but the gun didn't take away the classic atacks from Diddy or anyone of the others... I want he's rolling atack and I want him to slash opponents with he's tail... if he have he's classic atacks on not only gun and yetpack, then he would be good enough for me...

The cartwheel is an A attack.

You do know he has all of that, right?

 

[smashbot226]

So, Diddy Kong's moveset has been made public.

Beware the Flip, gentlemen. I'm looking at the moderators. TO GLORY, LITTLE CHIMP!!!
