ah yes, sorry. i meant to, totally forgot. ^_^'JKBUK, can ya give me some tips against Diddy?
Vids up there. ^
Well, theres a diddy in the area that i play quite a bit. Your by far best option is to keep him in the air, which keeps him out of reach of his nanners.
Instead of d-throws (which lets face it, just isn't that great a throw anymore. Everyone knows how to tech it. Vayseth told me this the other day, and he put it right, "Why bother grabbing anymore? You can just do a back-air or something better, and get more out of it.") try to use up-throws more, esp in this match up.
Be careful of your dairs. As I said a couple posts before, dairs are crazy punishable nowadays, just something to be careful of.
On vid 1, VERY NICE kill at 0:50. This is one of the best ways to turn the match around, use bananas to your advantage. If you're playing an amazing diddy, its best to try to throw one off the ledge, and keep one near you, because he's going to know what to do when you get one of his bananas. But in a lot of situations, its nice to use the bananas.
1:40 on the second vid. A lot of missed openings for fair. Fair, IMHO, is by far the best killing tool G&W has. Do not be afraid to use it, especially for offstage gimping. This diddy didn't seem to recover much, due to the good method of racking up damage and dying by smashes. But fair diddy like crazy while hes charging those barrels.
On a random note, Diddy seems to fall into charged up smashes more then many characters. I would never suggest it, but its always fun watching a diddy die >100% by an upsmash due to a misspaced airdodge.
on the second vid around 3:10, it all started falling apart. When this happens, just sit back on a ledge or platform, and cool off a bit, catch your breath. No need to let him continue. Most diddys know what they're doing in those situations.
You play diddy's a lot like i do, which is cool to see. We make the same errors in this match up. If you can, the very best way to practice this is to friendly against diddys at tournies. Its really cool having a diddy in my "crew," because you're always ready to play em.
