Side B range Diddy

[Dalxp26]

Diddy Kong has two distances he can cover with his side b. He has his normal side b and his smash b. I am having trouble doing the smash side b and i was hoping someone here can help me get better at it.

Appreciate the help

I'm not sure of the technical specifics, but I typically just hit the stick fast to the side and while it's still on its way to the edge of the stick I press B. Hope that helps!

Smash input also affects Diddy Kong's down special move, too, causing him to toss the banana farther.

When I was first getting into Diddy in brawl, I had difficulty getting used to this too because I had a horrible beginners habit of always DI'ing to the stage because that's the first thing that comes to mind when I get knocked off stage. If anything, move towards the stage but then reset the control stick to neutral, then input forward and b at the same time like you would a regular smash attack. Same thing like LimitCrown said too, if you smash down and b at the same time, he will pluck the banana and it will fly higher than usual. You most likely want to do this as an edge guarding move or anti air, otherwise hold down then press b so it pops up low enough for you to catch quickly with a SH aerial or air dodge.
