Just had to say that The Director's sig kicks *** <_<
You're like, the 10th random person to compliment it. I should've nominated it in the forum awards. :ohwell:

Rareware, why did you go to Microsoft...
WHY!?
It sounds strange, and almost like a dream, but recently Rare commented on how they'd like to do DKC4...a WiiWare title, perhaps?

Diddy is Sakurai's favored little stepchild, just like DK Wario and Bowser are Sakurai's punching bags.
well duh, they're the badguys, and they're heavy characters, when in nintendo history has a boss been quick and light (also you missed Dedede, and why has no-one noticed that Mario almost always features against Sonic, rivalry much?).

also, Diddy claims the award for pwnage, all his little spins and flips and excessive energy, he **** well should be in the shots, Sak says himself that the screens he has for his attacks don't do him justice.

also, diddy will kick rayquaza's ***, then go bananas (excuse the pun) on Fox's pitiful existance (hooray for making friends, like NOBODY likes Fox, right?)

lol

Diddy is in a lot of photos, but whenever he appears he makes the photo spicy and hilarious!! Also, just as often as he is shown beating people up, he is shown getting beat up! Diddy is just a great character to put in screenshots cuz of all his poses, hilarious martial arts moves, and facial expressions.

He has the best animations for all those things?

Or hes just taunting us.. Either showing how pwnage Diddy is. Or just trying to MAKE him look good and he sucks..

Or he just likeys the lil monkays.

I've never liked Donkey Kong or Diddy. When Diddy was confirmed, I thought to myself, "Oh great. A useless punching bag character."

Boy was I wrong. I do like Diddy... there's something about him. And I DO think that Sakurai likes him, probably because of his variety of expressions.

Also, Sakurai owes it to Diddy's fans, he wasn't in a lot of other stuff, in fact, there was an abject lac of diddy for far too long, he wasn't even in the demo!(s'far as i can find) that doesn't mean the rest of the non-Olimar related updates will have Olimar, 'cause he's just not generic or emotive enough. I've had my rant. :)

Because Diddy's 4 games outsell the Star Fox, Fire Emblem, and MOTHER series sales COMBINED! And because Diddy Kong WAS my most desired newcomer for Brawl! :grin:

O, and he's awsome, and original. His aerials are good, and he was pretty GODLY at E for All. And the fact Diddy Kong (and Wario, I might add) weren't in Melee is purely RETARTED! Tell me how Falco, Pichu, Roy, Marth, the Ice Climbers, Ness, Captain Falcon, Young Link, Shiek, and Dr. Mario were more important to Nintendo, or if they are now. The truth is if Melee had another 3 months of production, we'd see them in the game. Sakurai likes showing Wario and Diddy Kong because he feels like he owes us a "IOU". He even does that with King Dedede, if you haven't noticed (though he is much more "humble" about it).

He dual wields peanut shooting pistols that are made out of freakin' bark.
He can fly around in a jetpack....that's made out of barrels (that are also probably made out of bark).
He pulls banana peels out of thin air.
And he's pro at throwing Bonslys (Bonslies, Bonsli...?).

Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you.

it does look pretty awesome, especially against the other pictures of sheik and link, or just generally looking dramatic.

That series of updates was great.
Diddy adds a ton of personality! Diddy can do anything, frankly.
