Firstly, I've no complaints of diddy kong's viability, nor power, nor moveset. However, I discovered that squirtle has an amazing little attack juggle tactic when he shell shifts.. Diddy kong has a sort of similar direction shift with nothing to it so I was wondering/hoping it was possible for diddykong to trip his opponent when he shifts on them.
I'm not sure if this would bring any kind of imbalance to the game, i personally don't think it would so i'm hoping the designers take it into consideration. I also wanted to question if his directional shift could be quicker and smoother without bringing imbalance as well.

Either way or no way, keep up the amazing work<3

In theory, diddy would use the opponents foot to shift his movement rather putting his hand on the ground for that turn of momentum.

That's what makes Squirtle unique, and Diddy of all people doesn't need more tripping: let alone more options because he's really awesome in that department (which the real/2.1 Ike use to be) to the point it's sometimes boring to play characters like CF because he can basically be doing everything CF does but then he has this whole plethora of projectile stuff so he can switch to camp mode or anything in-between.

His high distance and long duration Dash turn around still seems useful for getting good RARs and Reverse JC Up-smashes: I'm content with it. You can also always jump out of what seems any portion of it, which makes it almost like a bait move or you can delay your RARs to your desired timing much more than you can with other character's.

I also think his specific dash turn might be what makes his weird reverse dash pivot grab have its great length

Only thing missing is his knee.

Diddy needs more tail moves for range.

Diddy would be sooo awesome with a Falcon / Mario like U Air though.
