First off nobody uses the diddy kong video thread sticky, so I made a new thread so people actually see it. Sue me.

Ok here are a couple sets from two tournaments I've been to over this past month. I've really hit a plateau and can't seem to place higher than about 7th. So please try to point out holes in my game and criticize me harshly :bee:.

Dude, Sauce Boss, we gotta rep Diddy in MI. Get that monkey in the power rankings somehow. Work together, you know? Will check out vids later and add whatever I can. I know I'm not the most experienced player but I'm pretty good at seeing what needs to be improved I think. I have some vids up from the last LoLiS in the critique my diddy thread too.

I definitely do need to camp more and peanut, but autopilot? I don't think I autopilot at all. I feel like people say that to every diddy video as a sort of catch-all about playing bad :ohwell:.

I actually do shield up the tornados, but if you notice I shake my shield up and down sometimes and it pokes thru lol. I think it was just shaking up and down because I was nervous or something. Noted about the pop-gun though.

thanks guys.

you were to careless when being aggressive against m2k. You'd throw in random fairs when he was dair camping you, then just punished the **** out of you.

Nice job sauceboss, liked what I saw. Just be careful about fair, bc the aerial lag it has afterwards really sucks if you miss. It's safer to fair only randomly and once in a blue mooon.

you were autopilot because everytime he seperated you from a banana you'd run straight for it and try to dash attack to pick it up or something. It was really predictable and he punished you alot for it. Thats just one example

There were a few peanuts in the first match.

I agree with NaPPy though, you would always chase bananas that were "blocked" by M2K. That was especially when he was in the air, and it looked like there was a clear path on the ground. Not saying that I'd do better, since I'm still learning Diddy, but it's something that someone like M2K would catch instantly.

The good local mk I play does that **** all the time. He just guards my bananas and trys to punish me if I get near them.

The best thing you can do in thos situations is pull another one if you can and start peanut camping or something. Its not worth the risk of running into a nado/dair or w/e he punishes you with

Just because you weren't on AP doesn't change the fact that it looked like you were.

Yeah I think peanuts would've been the best/safest decision. I don't use nuts nearly enough.

Saying you were on autopilot is a blanket term basically meaning "you made bad decisions". It's not very helpful critiquing. Specifics like "don't go after bananas when you can peanut" or "don't use fair as much" are much more helpful.

I thought autopilot meant you're doing the same thing over and over without realizing how repetitive you are. Like, playing just standard standard standard.

And then you make mistakes.

I still consider auto pilot dash attacking to grab every banana, throwing each banana in the same direction right at them each time, not smart moves that will get you ***** by someone smart

Lol, since this thread is going nowhere anyways, Autopilot basically means doing things without thinking. It's like a first reaction thing. It's like if you were sleep-Brawling basically.
