What do you want to know about this matchup?

What do you already know?


This matchup has been a popularized matchup for quite some time now, and I already have a ton of information. As part of a solo-man project I'm going to collect, confirm, and distribute as much information on this matchup as I can. You can help by answering the above two questions.


I'm also collecting videos, so if you know of any high level matches that don't involve videos posted in the MK / Diddy video threads link them here!

How hard or easy would you consider gimping a diddy kong?

Besides FD, whats the worst stage for MK to face diddy in?

Is RC overrated, or is it really a diddy killer(from MK points of view)?

Is playing gay the only way a MK can win diddy?

Note, i hope i didnt offend anyone with my last question =[

the best Diddy beat the best MK, that's what i know

Nice thread Overswarm.

I'm curious how different people handle Meta Knight's d-air camping and overall aerial combat.

Great idea, OS.

I'm pretty much just curious how different people handle Meta Knight's d-air camping and overall aerial combat.

Just replace the word "gay" with "lame" and hope there isn't a cripple around.

MK can't afford to make mistakes since he is so lightweight. He needs to watch out for the F-Air.

I'd think Diddy is not the hardest to gimp, but neither the easiest

I'd think that SV would be Diddy's best field besides FD, not sure though

Overrated, defenetly. Norfair is a really good CP IMO vs diddy

Well, i'd think that depends on the Diddy, if the Diddy camps like crazy, i don't think MK has much choise

This is just my opinion, but i only have little experiens with this MU.

For clarification, I'm making a full report on this. Don't expect immediate answers.

 

[The Sauce Boss]

eh.. this has been gone over like a hundred times. I would go check out the match-up thread for both boards and read through it thoroughly if you want to try to compile some big report.

Anyway some of the key points:

Most people think it's either 50-50 or slightly in mk's favor
Bananas can punish virtually everything mk has
Diddy's barrels are easy to gimp if he has to recover from below (i.e. falling nair).
Tornado sucks in this matchup

I'd also like to note that if things aren't specific, they won't really help. This report will be for a whole lotta people, many who might not play these characters.

 

[Boofy!]

What's your position on Pictochat being a CP? It's banned where I'm from and i think that's ridiculous, odds are you'll never play on FD because not only is it diddy's best it happens to be Mk's worst.. Diddy flat out beats Mk there so that **** gets banned 99% of the time. diddy has other stages that are good as I'm sure you know but they're more than likely better for your opponent (Mk)

if u shield MK's dair can u jump OOS and hit MK with any arial ??

 

[BrianTheLion]

bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......

 

[DFEAR]

matchup looks even in my eyes.

diddy is way too versatile.

The thing that really affects this matchup is stages.
