Diddy is still Top5 Imo, Sandstorm was a really really good example this weekend honestly. [ @W.A.C. You use ZeRo as an example but he won the event pretty solidly]
All the other diddys outside of ZeRo just were not adapted to his changes and generally lost their games and switched to their actual mains/secondaries and got more progress [like mvd and a few others]. ZeRo pretty much did everything we were talking to make diddy work with his nerfs about AND MORE, I actually wanna analyze his gameplays i feel like there were a few new Diddy things in general he was pulling off alot. He Did JCT Banana throw forward>Foxtrot>Studderstep Fsmash a few times which is a sick setup imo especially that we really need Fsmash Setups, Makes him look like P:M Diddy GT Forward > Wavedash/RunningCC > Fsmash.
He was using Dtilt > SH RAR Bair at the percents we were talking about. Dtilt Usmash around 145+ish.
Constant banana pressure, peanut banana walling, Everything ZeRo was doing was in the context of brawl, but with smash4 things. And just alot of technical stuff. I need to rewatch sandstorm so i can see everything but those were the things off the top i noticed he was doing. Oh and Uthrow-Fair is legit confirmed :3

guess you dont know that I just dont use my other mains in SFL cause they are really good against them and it gives me great diddy practice

To be perfectly honest i didn't, i haven't watched much of Florida's scene lately. It was in no offense to you when i used you as an example it's just what i saw at Sandstorm [and other tournaments] in general for post patch diddy (and many see you as a DH main ya know).
Plus i do think your DH is your strongest character [that snake influence is strong :D]
We all struggled with diddy so far since the patch but im sure You and everyone else that stuck with him is adjusting.
