Sword characters are not a big problem for me, since they have an average speed and have some weaknesses.
The problem that I have is with fast characters : they are too complicated too punish. See, the main reason why
or
are considered good is because how mobile they are. They are fast and don't have a lot of frames where you can punish them. They can escape too easily from normal characters and can punish way too easily.
But
is on an other level : he's gimmicky. And being gimmicky in a Smash game is important, especially in this one. By being weird, Diddy profits of his mobility to surprise people and to KO at low percents. He profits of the engine of the game to beat everyone. He's weird and strong, too strong. Nobody expected him to be this weirdly good.
If Smash would have used canon facts from the games,
and

would be the strongest. Yet, who is the best character in Smash for people ? A monkey with a hat. Sakurai, we know you like irony and trolling, but please try to make game balance. Just put your "Strong characters" on the level of "Weird ones", wich are apparently "The best of the best".
Yes, I'm angry. Salty ? Maybe. But you can't deny that fast and weird characters still rule the Smash world.
