Count's matchup ratios
I know that some of you don't like putting numbers to matchups.
Well, I do. So I'm going to. I'm going to try to do mainly the diddy consensus, if I cannot do that I will base it off of my own conclusions.
Meta Knight: 45:55. The fact that meta knight has so many good counterpicks is what makes this in his favor. I would put this as closer to 6:4 than even solely because of that.
Snake 4:6 A campy snake may be my hardest matchup. I may have to adapt the the GayDHD strat.
falco 45:55 A weird matchup that I don't know enough about as I should.
DDD 55:45 originally thought to be strongly in our favor, a good DDD never dies.
GnW: 6:4 GnW has no approaches against diddy.
Lucario: 45:55 Could possibly be worse, but IMO lucario doesn't have as many dominant stages against diddy as some. Leaning more towards 6:4 than even.
ZSS 6:4. A strong matchup for diddy. Snakeee is reduced to peach and zelda vs diddy kong.
Peach 4:6 The matchup we've been talking about for weeks. Does diddy kong have an answer for peach. Vs kos mos this matchup is like 25:75 atm
Luigi 4:6 At the end of the day still our hardest matchup. I went back and changed it to 4:6 from 35:65 because despite the obvious difficulity top diddy kongs are still able to sometimes defeat top luigis (P1s recent set win of biglou, ADHD/NL over boss
Marth 4:6 I know thien thinks its even but my personal struggles with marth push me to 4:6 currently. I haven't tried many of his new techniques yet, however, so my mind could still be changed.
DK 6:4 Originally thought to be a difficult matchup, DK is too comboable for diddy and he also has a difficult time avoiding the nanas.
Bowser 6:4 While I've never played a strong bowser in person, I'd think it would be similar to DK. If anybody can change my mind feel free to.
Fox 55:45 I thought this was even at one point, but it is now my feelings that if we play smart we beat fox.
Wolf 45:55. An annoying matchup. Bair is tough to avoid, his reflector, although poor, can still be an annoyance. Patient wolfs seem to be particularly tough.
Pikachu 6:4 pikachus long trip animation make this a fairly easy matchup, even if the pikachu is named anther. Both NL and ADHD still defeated anther last meeting iirc.
Kirby 4:6 This is still a tough matchup for me. I think other diddy kongs feel as if they are closing the gap. I could use some advice on this matchup.
Pokemon Trainer: 6:4
Squirtle 45:55 squirtle is tough to avoid and KOs early but he also dies fairly early.
Charizard 6:4 Rock smash is too good, combo city for diddy though
Ivy 65:35 Maybe diddy's easiest matchup?
Jigglypuff 5:5 I know some people consider this in Jiggs favor, but even without bananas diddy's moveset is better than jigs. Fair I think is just as good/better than her aerials. Leaning towards diddys favor IMO.
Mario 55:45 Fun matchup, cape can be annoying but see jigglypuff in that our moveset is better.
Sonic 55:45 Just play patient and diddy should win..as quoted by somebody "sonics thrive on aggression."
captain falcon 6:4
ganondorf 65:35
sheik 6:4 I know some people consider this a harder matchup, and I've never played a good sheik. So convince me.
Zelda 5:5 I know ADHD says shes grounded and what not, but her high priority and dins fire is so annoying!
Samus 6:4 Projecctiles are annoying but diddy>samus
Lucas 6:4
Ness 55:45 I have a more difficult time with ness than lucas, and I've actually played two legitimate lucas's IRL as opposed to one or no ness's.
Toon link 4:6 Really tough matchup, harder than I originally thought. TL beats you in the air and his projectiles make it tough to keep the momentum necessary as a diddy kong main.
Link 6:4 Link is good but his poor recovery gives us the advantage. Maybe 55:45.
ICs I'm not sure what to think about this matchup. Despite being in the same region I've yet to play lain or chewy. I think we have a slight advantage but I do not know enough to confidentally comment.
Rob 45:55 Thien keeps telling me this matchup is in our advantage but I am still poor at it. I've yet to master the tips he has told me though, so personally I believe I can close the gap still.
Olimar 5:5 While I originally thought this to be a difficult matchup, I believe I understand what has to be done now. I will be playing my region's best olimar this weekend (he isn't amazing, but solid) I will see how I do.
Wario 45:55 Sadly I see this matchup getting worse. Don't miss out on a grounded wario opportunity, that gives you a chance to rack up a lot of damage. Otherwise good luck =/.
Pit 45:55 I struggle with pit but there aren't really any good ones in my area, so I can't comment any further.
Yoshi 55:45 Avoid that chaingrab and this matchup is ours. Face hump is good as noted by le thien.
Ike 5:5 Yes you can get ike in crazy combos but one mistake and you're dead. And he lives forever. I play renegade this weekend so I will have to share my experiences.
Thanks for reading, just something I did for my own enjoyment whilst bored at work more than anything. Feel free to rip me apart. Any further points that I miss or anything I am incorrect on point out!
