Alright, so I'm about 2-7 with Felix in our last 9 sets I would guess. (Overall I am 7-13 vs him now)
I lost to him again yesterday in winners finals and grand finals, 1-3 and 2-3.
I need help vs Diddy!
I know a lot of you will say "blah hes not THAT good" I honestly think he is near ADHD level. At MLG Orlando he only lost to two snakes and eliminated Seibrik. He will be at Raleigh. When i watch recent videos, felix doesnt fall for the same traps he does and avoids it. But thats beyond the point. It seems like no video is able to help, because I've sat down and watched, but it's just "Okay, well Felix doesn't fall for that because he does X action to counter that"
I guess even top diddies can post too, but how do you get past all of diddies dumb stuff? Diddies that fair a lot (They use it like snakes bair, it pisses me off.)
Diddies recover high now, so you cant fair from below, uair from below randomely trades with monkey kick, if you nado too soon, they can either wait it out, or if you touched him with it, can be broken by the monkey kick. If you fair, kick/fair can beat it. I've tried empty jumps to bait, but it's still not helping. I can't even gimp diddy anymore
. Instant throwing @ Diddy is useless (vs felix atleast) so I end up just instant throwing up or down to avoid getting hit.
Even edge-guarding diddy is harder, I'm pretty much resorted to tornado-ing him (and hoping the kick doesnt break the startup of my nado) if you wait too long off the stage with nair, he can monkey flip into a potentially dangerous situation (footstool gimp afterwards if you dont know the proper way to get out of it, but he still makes it back even if you get out) But if you dont do anything at all, its a huge waste. Charged fsmash doesn't trade with kick if they're high enough
I feel like I have to start playing it like the Falco matchup again. Super gay dair camping/reading when he'll fair and try to sneak the dair in as he fades away and hope to lead to a gimp. When he has two bananas too and starts peanut camping, matchup gets way hard lol. I end up just camping until he throws a banana at me. and even then in the 1 banana diddy vs 1 banana mk, diddy has better banana control/moves (except length of glide toss, which really isn't important, because diddy can beat MK's glide toss grab. It doesn't work if they're ready). It's also really hindering that MK can't grab a banana on the ground without being directly on it, or else you go HWUYUYUYU and do the crappy Jab. you end up having to do the instant throw which can be read too.
obviously I know to SDI all of diddy's moves into the ground (or if youre scared or not practiced, up I suppose. can be followed up though.)
Also Diddy does the air dodge + banana drop in one action, which stops you from following up once you finally get that duuuude in the air.
help
Edit -- We practice together and have now played 20 sets vs each other, so it could be each other knowing the others styles and tendencies perfectly. But tier list suggests Metaknight should have the advantage considering that, sooo, help still :]. He's my friend but, I don't like being the after-thought of the already not-very-thought-about state known as Washington, I want to be winning again. It's to the point where I accept that I might be getting 2nd, and no one has done that to me before.
