Knowing when to glide toss?

[NeoCrono]

If my experiences from melee taught me that learning AT is the easy part, but know when to use it was the hard part. When I first learned how to wavedash, I used it carelessly. When I learned when to use it, I realized its effectiveness. I recently learned how to glide toss with my favorite little chimp, and since most of you guys learned it way before me. I wanted to know when is it most effective to use?
Thanks

Ermmm. Well I got a good idear for you. Consider it a wavedash. Use it to space. Use it to retreat and throw a naner. Use to to go into a Dash Attack/Grab after a naner. Just a good tool for spacing.

Thanks, I do think of it as a wavedash. I usually just retreat with it though, but ill try approaching with it

yeah its good for both offensive/defensive situations

I actually have gotten a lot better at it, I need to post a video one day lol

It's all about spacing, think of it as wavedashing but you've got a naner thrown afterwards

dont forget that u can glidetoss to smash, glidetoss- fox trot to Dsmash when exist more distance between you and the opponent. For mind games, like glidetoss down or up to do something else.

Dribble/Double Dribble is next on your list if you haven't already mastered it.

Yeah, dribbling and double dribbling is next on the list

when to glide toss...?

WHENEVER YOU WANT, BABY!

good for approach, diddy's best way to move around, pretty much staple in diddy's amazing ground game

only about 1/20 times do i throw a banana without glide tossing.

I only non-glide toss a banana when I shield a attack when they're right next to me, and glide tossing will move me out of range of a d or f smash

It is definitely a wavedash to me. I use it as I normally would use a wavedash and am only limited by my bananas. I use it to mindgame (glide toss down throw back and forth, glide toss up throw, glide toss back throw), I use it to approach, I use it to retreat.
It seems that all situations of Diddy Kong's call for glide tossing. As important as knowing when to glide toss is knowing when not to glide toss. When near an edge, I do not glide toss. After I have glide tossed multiple times, I do not glide toss. If I am versus another Diddy Kong, I sparsely glide toss my own bananas, rather using my opponent's bananas against him.
