Explains the sudden surge in Villagers lol
Could you tell a bit more about Little Mac? I main Mac and I encountered an extremely good Diddy on for glory today. Couldn't do a thing.
Whenever I play Little Mac, I always find it incredibly hard to approach him, as his roll is so hard and so hard to punish in a game where roll is already your best out of shield option. A Mac that can stay away from any and all approaches is a tough Mac indeed.
You don't need to approach Mac though because he can't force approaches himself. You can just spam peanuts at him with a nana in hand and he'll have to approach you. When he starts getting close to you wait for him to commit to something and then punish it with the nana. If you land the nana that should be a free grab, which will get him into the air.
Yeah, that's true. It might just be a bad matchup because I'm playing the matchup wrong, since I try to make my Diddy as aggressive as possible.
Proper DI and recovery shouldn't let this happen, ever.
same goes for pikachu. thunder jolt snipes really destroy our upB. not to mention that good pikachus will chase us off stage every chance they get
No different than Brawl, really. Luigi slides after being hit by a banana or something light, it resets the momentum every hit and Diddy relies on that. Thankfully, our aerials dominate Luigi, so it's still likely our favor. Just needs to be played campy.
might have a slight advantage, purely cause she can really disturb 's flow. She's so fast, that even feels uncomfortable around her. And needles plus grenades are awesome for catching Diddy off guard. I also really dislike being too much above cause of her U Smash's crazy range. It's best to try and finish her off as quickly as possible. It's one of my favorite matchups so far because of the thrill. It really feels whoever lands the first blow or gets the first string going will get the major advantage in the overall match. They both combo the hell out of each other.
What I do is force them to make the approach. Pull out the popgun and sit on the corner (the only match up I to am not being hyper aggressive in) once he comes, shield grab him, back throw offstage (he will be forced to jump do to the knock back, otherwise he wont make it back to stage.Thus, jump and fair him. This will literally kill little mac at zero percent because his recovery is that easily gimped. He has no options. I actually have a replay where I JV 3d a little mac on for glory doing this, absolutely hilarious. I never lose to mac anymore after figuring this out (not that I discovered it or anything, just noticed it worked.)
However, I prefer my method as opposed to using bananas on Mac. (cant shield grab with the banana in hand) Now of course, there are some macs out there who know what i'm looking for and will just sit there on the opposite side. In this case I also do what you suggested, not only is it boring to wait for sudden death, but its harder for diddy to win a sudden death against mac. lol
Just re-read this again, and I will agree,
is harder than most. As also really struggled against , but this time, is muccchhhh better at finishing off. Which was a great problem before that Olimar really benefitted from, much like . They could outcamp through this by just living much longer.
This. Luigi, Greninja, and to a lesser extent Yoshi have this horrible slide momentum making it tough to control them, judge distance for bananas, and get a grab.
