Smash Cadet
Me and my brother play a ton of smash (don't we all?). He and I were pretty much equal until one day he kicked my butt so bad that I Immediately asked for a rematch. He beat me again. And again. And he keeps on beating me to this day. I've lost it all. I'm bad at this game. but that doesn't stop me from quitting. I need some good Diddy Kong strategies! Let me fill you guys in.
My Main: Diddy Kong.
My Brothers Main: Pikachu.
Our Stage: Final Destination.
Items: Off
Match: Time 4 mins
This is pretty much how we play. I Need to know how to get the most out of Diddy Kong in 4 mins.
First of all, let me tell you how my brother plays. Then I'll tell you how I play.
As I said before my brother is a Pikachu main. If you would ever playing my bro a lot you would notice many things:
1. He likes to abuse his thunder attack.
2. He likes to hit and run.
3. He loves to charge up skull bash from a distance (we all do).
4. He doesn't grab often.
5. He doesn't shield often.
6. He doesn't sidestep.
7. He doesn't doge in midair.
8. He doesn't use Ukemi (but he just found it's in brawl so he might as well use it now).
9. He loves his down air attack.
10. He loves his downward smash attack.
11. AND HE LOVES TO TAUNT!!!!!
That is the basics of my brother. Now I will tell you his basic strategies.
At The game start he will run to the edge of the stage and uses his thunder jolt continuously. When that happens I am usually forced to the air to get to him. He'll then wait for me to vertically line up with him and then he'll use his thunder attack. As lame as this sounds, the strategy, I confess, is ingenious. Diddy Kong has a hard time moving through the air horizontally, and his Rocket Barrel will leave him vulnerable after using them.
Once I am hit by a smash attack or thunder he will usually use many air attacks to keep me at bay. when my damage is up to around 72% his is about 20% which is a huge advantege for him. Many times though, i become careless enough that let myself vertically align with him. When that happens, he will let his thunder attack take care of me. if he hit me just right, i'll go higher into the air and he'll use his thunder again. and then i'm ko'ed. that is pretty much how the game will go. But notice this. the only time that he abuses the thunder jolt attack is at the start of the game! never later in the game (except maybe on a sudden death). Another thing is that he also likes to keep me grounded with his down air attack. he also LOVES his skull bash. Which is VERY easy to dodge with a simple sidestep. And one more thing. He LOVES to taunt when I'm ko'ed instaed of setting up.
Let's move on to me now.
If would play me a lot you would notice. (I love Diddy)
1. That I LOVE my shields ( sidestepping, rolling, you name it)
2. That I don't rely on my banana's often (for reasons that I'll explain later)
3. That I LOVE MY SPIKE!!!!
4. My peanut popgun would be used to annoy you at close range.
5. That I use the hit and run method.
6. I make a few FATAL mistakes.
7. That my monkey flip Is actually used to fool my opponents.
8. That I Refuse to use my Rocket Barel to attack.
9. That I'll make some unknown mistake that I make every game.
10. I love Ukemi.
11. And I Lose miserably to most people (except lvl 9 cpu's. jk jk)
In case You haven't noticed I did explain some of my strategies on my brothers strategies. But first of all you probably are wondering how monkey flip can be used to fool my opponent. If you haven't noticed Monkey Flip has almost no lag after you have used it. Once have touched the ground roll in any direction. You need to be pretty darn quick to pull it off. To use it to fool people, you must be at a distance that you are sure diddy kong won't latch onto an opponent but close enough that you are almost touching him after the attack has finished. As soon as you hit ground roll to the other side of your opponent and smash attack your opponent. When doing monkey flip your opponent may be calculating the same way that you have (meh... he's not gonna reach me from there) and he will likely charge up for a smash attack. Of course your gonna take him by surprise and attack him from the opposite direction. It works very well, that is if your fast enough. Try it sometime!
And another thing. Many people seem to over rely on Diddy Kong's bananas. I don't. Bananas only work when thrown at an opponent, and when they do hit your opponent you have to run up and attack. And after your opponent has recovered he is very likely to pick up the banana and throw it back at you. Yes, I don't use banana's often.
Diddy Kong's spike is AMAZING. I love to use short hops and just spike my opponent. Of course, I need to be quick on bro because of his thunder. But let's just say that I use my spike OFTEN.
And the peanut popgun is one of my least used specials. Primarily is because of the charge.
Anyway, that is pretty much how we play. What should I do to beat my brother? Should I learn some new stuff? Is How can I use Diddy's speed to fight some one that likes to fight at close range? And also when he's taunting instead of setting up, should I use this opportunity to do something? I NEED HELP!
And my brother wants me to say that I a 13 year old can't beat a little 11 year old
