As a Peach mainer, I can tell you that Peach is great at using bananas. If she floats at ground level, she won't trip over bananas, and she can use an autocancelled Nair to pick it up with almost no lag. Add to that the fact that she has the second best glide toss in the game (Zero Suit Samus' glide toss is insane...), and you get some problems coming up. Oh yeah, and the bananas help set up for a tennis racket sweetspot.

Diddy doesn't have to worry about oponents becoming better than Diddy at Banana Manipulation. Diddy mainers are much more accustumed to them, and whenever Diddy spawns the bananas they are already under his control so he has a head start. In addition, Diddy controls the flow of bananas so he could change up the match if the oponents seems to have an edge.

Overall I don't think oponents will be able to out-nanner Diddy.

Some characters are very good with bananas but like Nitrix said, Diddy starts with the bananas under his control and Diddy controls the flow of bananas. With this in mind if Diddy is careful he can prevent his opponents from getting much use, if any, out of bananas. Diddys that aren't careful will see their bananas used against him but better Diddys will keep them out of their opponents control. Also, using just one banana at a time greatly helps to keep opponents from picking up stray bananas.

Pretty much other characters will get better at using bananas but Diddy Kong players will get better at preventing other characters from using them against us.
