hey guys im new to competitive smash, I wanna main diddy since he's my favourite character due to child hood feels. Curious what his kill%s are, and any special strats/techniques/combos I'll need as a diddy main.

Even if you could redirect me to a thread that has everything I wanna know for diddy that would be great.

Thank you

I don't know everything about Diddy since I don't use him, but I can give some tips.

Competitively, Diddy is a very good character, even after his nerf. A great tool from him that you should make use of is his Banana Peel. It can trip opponents and effectively set up for his kill moves.

Down throw is also really good to set up aerials, particularly his up air. While it's not as effective for killing as it was before, using it from a down throw along with his other aerials is effective for racking up damage.

I don't really know much else aside from that, but other people will be able to tell you. I hope this helped.

I'm really sorry for the late reply, but yeah, just play Diddy the way you feel most comfortable. You can find various ways and tips on how to use him here in the Diddy section.
