When I watched my matches against Dawson as Diddy (first time I got videos of Diddy uploaded), the biggest thing that stuck out to me was that I need to get better at using side B. Being a Yoshi main has taught me the command grabs are kind of amazing, and being able to mix in those flip kicks make it even more useful. It was counter-intuitive for me to implement side B into my playstyle though, and I think it's mainly due to the fact that the physics of the move are so different than what I'm used to with egg lay. I still love the move though, and I definitely agree that Mike and Trevor don't use it enough. =p
I also agree that airdodging into bananas is surprisingly useful...when I started doing that and buffered a shield when landing, I found that even Yoshi isn't completely helpless because he can throw items out of shield without any dumb lag. It's obviously not something that should be done all the time, but it's a good option to keep in mind, and having a good item game is all about knowing everything you can do with them so you can avoid becoming predictable.
Man, I really wish I had a Wii so I could keep my instant throwing and things like that polished. I could do it pretty consistently over the summer when I could practice, but I'm pretty bad at it now. >.<
And thanks for the HB stuff guys. =p
