I win the set, but man...

That 2nd video is AMAZING btw, if you watch any video watch that one.

Spoiler

I don't win, but still...it's a very good match.

 

[Kaptain Kong]

I don't see what's so great about the 2nd one.
good matches though
work on glide tossing more

 

[stingers]

I uhh glide toss like every banana I throw <_<

What do I need to work on?

It's not about just glide tossing them it's about how you glide toss

 

[stingers]

Oh...

Uhh, well saying "Glide Toss better" isn't the best of ways to say that...saying what exactly I'm doing wrong would be constructive criticism, saying that I'm doing it wrong is just trolling.

If you want me to start doing things like dribbling, lolz, nothx. I can do it just fine, but it's just pointless flash 99.9% of times. If you have actual critique though, then you should tell me

 

[Sinz]

There are certain ways of glidetossing that much more effecting.
Dribbling is actually pretty useful.
You just gotta be smarter, you played pretty stupid in some of the games.

 

[ADHD]

Well glide tossing can be offensive and defensive and dribbling is very good actually and you should learn it if you actually want to become good with diddy. Glide tossing backwards in any fashion is usually defensive and forward is offensive it all depends on the situation. Dribbling is good because it gives you space and you still have your banana. So i.e. suppose snake would ftilt you, you can dribble backwards to escape it and then punish him, like a wavedash. Glide tossing backwards throwing it forward gives you less time to punish him so dribbling would be a better option.

 

[CHOMPY]

who ever that marth player is. Plays like crap.

 

[chimpact]

Try to roll less. You become predictable. When you glidetoss backwards, you become less vulnerable to their attacks because it is so much faster than rolling.

at 4:00 in the third vid, if you grabbed the ledge you could have won. you focus too much on hitting him when he gets back on the stage, that you forget that you can edgehog him. You need to z drop bananas to dair if the banana hits. You Dthrew it when you tried to edgeguard him. When you drop it, the banana goes slow so they try to either air dodge and won't make it to the stage or use their up b immediately and get hit by the banana, or get hit by the banana and then use up b. After they get hit use the dair and you get a Ko on him.

You think someone with so many posts would be more useful...

Play smarter? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Use more bananas? Use less bananas?
Be more aggressive? Be less aggressive?
Space better?
Jump more?

"Play smarter" is all-encompassing. That's not sound advice at all.

who ever that marth player is. Plays like crap.

Shut up. Seriously. Insulting the opponent is never true, and it's never good advice. I've had people tell me that my opponent sucked when it was GDX (I'm sure you've heard of him, right?) because I won by a large margin. In words you can understand, "lrn2analyze"

 

[Megavitamins]

Play smarter generally means to take less risks when playing, and be more defensive. So you should safely pressure the marth.

 

[stingers]

I should safely pressure the marth. Cool.

Should I pressure him with bananas? Should I pressure him with well spaced ftilts? Should I pressure him with lagless Side Bs? Should I pressure him with dash attacks?

Should I pressure him with all of the above? Because if you're dealing with someone new, you shouldn't just say "pressure the marth", you should say "Against marth, good ways to pressure him are..." etc.

Also, the last time I asked for critique, I was told to be more aggressive. So I became more aggressive. Now I'm being told to be less aggressive. So I guess I'll try that. But really, you can't just tell people to do such vague things when giving critique, you have to be specific.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

That was good, but not amazing...

THIS!! Is amazing.

And this is an amazing set.

But besides that, try to mix up your approaches and space better.

 

[stingers]

Omg DSW vs. M2K never gets old

Final video is so epic

 

[Count]

My only advice would be to use bananas more, but that depends on your style of diddy. I didn't watch much of the videos, but another tip I might have is to constantly keep the pressure on, especially vs marth. I've always felt that vs marth the less time he had to think to space you for a tipper and what not, the more at the advantage you are. I like your diddy, it has a lot of uniqueness to it. Hopefully this post is fairly helpful.

 

[Demenise]

The reason that dribbling and glide tossing in different directions are useful is that it creates mindgames; messes with their heads. You just keep going at the opponent and try to hit them with the banana. Short, simple tactic that can be easily avoided. So mix up your banana game. Also, try to get used to having two out.

 

[stingers]

Honestly, Dribbling is the "Angelic Step" of the Diddy boards. Something cool that the players found that they really want to implement into their game, but is incredibly situational and there are oftentimes better options.

 

[B.A.M.]

hardly. dribbling is great for movement and quick retaliation, any diddy pro would be able to tell you that. it is quite useful; iono where you get this highly situational crap from.

huh? but dribbling is situational, especially single dribbling. Not to say it doesnt look cool, because i admit it does

to me personally, dribbling seems more situational than it would to other people, because i'd rather not use it for regular movement, ie. single dribbling away or towards someone. i just prefer fox-trotting, or walking. Other people like to move that way, so it seems less situtational to them.

so i guess really, dribbling is as situational as the diddy kong itself.
