Hello, Yoshi main here thinking about picking up Diddy as a secondary.

Before I pour a lot of time into him, I'd like to hear how Diddy does against some of the matchups I struggle with. In particular:

Megaman, Cloud, Luigi, Sonic, ZSS

If Diddy struggles with these characters, I'll look elsewhere for a secondary.

Thanks!

Mega Man: :4diddy: wins

Cloud: :4diddy: wins imo

Luigi: I believe:4luigi: has a slight advantage if not even but it is completely doable for Diddy.

Sonic: Even imo

ZSS: :4zss: wins by a little but :4diddy: still gives ZSS a tough time due to his amazing punish game and neutral. 55-45 imo.

Megaman: Diddy wins
Cloud: Diddy probably wins, Cloud is new though, its hard to make a claim really confidently at this point
Luigi: probably close to even now, was atrocious before. I doubt it's worse than 45:55 for us now though. Don't have as much experience post patch.
Sonic: I've said probably even but my friend that mains Sonic thinks it's slightly his favor. Either way, definitely doable, but you'll want practice in the MU.
ZSS: ZSS you always need to know inside out really, lots of good tools. I would guess close to even. I've heard people say both win though.
