I'll just say... Metaknight's b moves allow him to get back on stage, reducing his predictability. Something Diddy, Snake, Marth, Rob, D3 can't do.

Somebody is lying about Diddy's SideB and its massive amount of priority. :p

Awesome, a thread that I can stir up controversy in by making a simple post. Let's see if this turns out as well as it did in the results thread from that one HOBO tourny from before.

huh, MK is banned
I guess the last tourney did something to influence this?

WHOBO looked good though, didn't get to go, but nice to see different coasts coming here

I'm looking forward to HOBO 16

NO JOHNS, Johnhopper. Also, you talking to someone who plays a character that has NO invincibility or hitboxes during recover...absolutely NO form of protection against attacks except mindgames. :p

And YOUR character causes tripping and has arguably the best momentum game in Brawl. All I can do is float.

OH MAN you left before we played smash 64 and I did some EPIC DI.

MMMM, EXPOSED.

Your character has banana pressure, which is STUPIDLY good. And bananas cannot be canceled by an attack. You can either dodge it, get hit, catch it and lose aerial options, or shield it...all four options are bad and leave an opening. And they have shieldstun and can sometimes trip you EVEN WHEN YOU SHIELD IT.

Also, that's just the benefits of good DI. Honestly, if Lucario didn't have an Aura boost, he would be crap. And the fact that I have to put myself in kill range in order to kill is risky business. Everybody can learn good DI. Characters can't randomly start throwing bananas since it isn't part of their moveset. :p

That has to be the most generic statement ever. You could replace any character name and get the same result. A Snake with bad DI can die at like 80% with Meta's Dsmash. I've seen it happen to Razer.

Learn to DI.

No Johns. :)

lol and you guys chose Diddy as yours, making your own johns null and void. That's the point, holmes. Glad you agree.

Also D: for not getting any props. Thanks man. Thanks.

You johning about the ONE and ONLY thing (Aura) that helps me forever trumps the millions of johns I made. Aura has an inherent risk because I HAVE to live forever in order to take advantage. Please tell me the disadvantages of using bananas, because I would REALLY love to hear them...and don't say that they can be thrown back, because that NEVER works, lol. :p

It's obvious how to beat Diddy...PLANK with META. But that applies to about every other character in the game.

I want to go to UH for games. :(

Gea, I love you for using Peach. <3

In reading this, I've thought of a fifth option: :link2:'s shield. :grin:
After testing, it's actually really effective: while crouching, all naners thrown on the ground by :diddy: (unless thrown RIGHT in :link2:'s face, in which case one would probably just roll instead) will just bounce off his shield and pop up in the air, and all naners thrown in the air (unless thrown from a good distance, in which case :link2: can still block it with his shield by standing back up) will go right over :link2:'s head. Once I get the spacing down, I think I'll permanently drop my bombgame against :diddy:'s...cuz this is just too good xD

*frustrated chimp noise*
*plink*

I think I've underestimated :link2:'s shield, just a bit. I think I'll see who else this works against. Maybe :toonlink:?

*pew pew*

*plink plink*

Or howzabout :peach:?

*turnip throw of justice*

*plink*
*jump to aerial or to dodge + zair*
GOT YO TURNIP.

Uh uh i didnt john considering i dont need to...ive at least 2 stocked every lucario ive ever played. TAKE THAT!!!!

Stop juaning about naners...theres a reason flip cant beat me...step your naner game up. Naner control is universal. Yes diddy has more applications but even before maining diddy and using kirby I utilized naners well. U just have no naner skill :) but never fear ill help u. But only if u become my pet...FOREVER

MORE IMPORTANTLY....WHY THE **** ARE WE STILL UP JOHNING ABOUT CHARACTERS!?!?!?!?!
THIS IS STUPID...We all suck...Kown is the best in Texas...GOOD NIGHT...GG

**** PLANKING!!!

Psh, I know banana setups, but they won't beat a good Diddy since Diddys usually control their bananas. But don't worry, I have a surprise in store for you...

We should play...like today! I don't have school tomorrow. In fact, does anyone want to play today or tomorrow? :)
