How to nerf Diddy's down-throw and/or u-air...

[Quillion]

This is coming from a newly declared Diddy main, BTW (hey, I like the well-rounded jack-of-all-stats types in all games, even Mario and Luigi).

I'd actually like it to be done in a way that doesn't completely remove the "hoo-hah", just make it so that it's not an all-percents killing deal. But how to do this?

• Make the down throw slower?
• Give the down-throw more knockback growth?
• Give the down-throw more base knockback?
  
• Give the u-air less knockback growth?

It's nerfed by DI

This kind of thread doesn't matter since the nerfing / buffing of moves is not something in control of the players.

WTF man, this is exactly what @ChileZeRo is talking about this is not productive at all, so bad that their is a thread where you can say stuff like this.

Quillion do you like making negative threads.

Really, we cannot control nerfing on our own, as it's solely up to the creators of Smash 4 to make the change. Personally, though, I don't think it needs to be nerfed. Directional influence is actually a primary way (and easy way) of escaping the ol' hoo-hah.

Now that we're on the topic, I have a video that can better explain what I'd like to say to this thread:
