So...opponents can catch Diddy's peanuts.

[Big Bob]

I don't know if this was known, but a quick glance at the sticky didn't say anything about it.

Yeah, turns out that you can catch Diddy's peanuts in mid-air if you time it right, and they can be thrown back at him as if they were an item.

 

[kock]

yeah with upper level players it happens often.

yeah,
most people don't waste time trying to catch it though

 

[Contrary]

When they are fired off without being chargesd, they are usually harmless enough in which case players don't have to bother.

Yeah, found that out in my last tournament... Accidentally grabbed one, couldn't stop going "wtf" in my mind. I mean... There are no ways in which that peanut will help you out on battle, it's just a waste of time grabbing it. All it does is prevent you from running up to him and doing any A attack and grappling.

... But that's coming from someone who doesn't use Diddy. I'm sure you Diddy fans would love to anger players by having them accidentally grab peanuts and ruin their plans, eh?

Actually, use this as something to delay an opponent's attack and kill them.

If you know a player's typical timing, you can occasionally get this off and force them to grab it right into a fsmash / fair or something.
