In the current Smash 4 metagame, Diddy Kong is widely perceived as the best character. Pros and For Glory players alike have rushed to pick him up, citing his fast and safe aerials, projectiles and throw setups as reasons why no other character even comes close to Diddy. But in this Internet age, where thousands of fans rabidly eat up the opinions of the pros like hotcakes, are people jumping the gun?
YouTuber and Smashboards moderator Omni believes so. Drawing on some old-school knowledge, he talks about characters that have fallen in and out of popularity in the past, and why Diddy Kong's current reign as the best doesn't mean he will be the king forever. Watch below and see what Omni has to say.
