Sorry if this question has already been asked.

I'm just wondering. Sometimes when you get hit while playing Diddy and then you use upB almost straight away, you fall a lot faster than normal. Is there any way to avoid this? Because this is one of the main reasons why I don't main Diddy. I've lost 2 tournament matches because of it.

I'm also sorry if the solution to this has been mentioned in a sticky somewhere.

When you get hit and you up B right after you get hit you fall slowly. You can do a side b immediately to stop the momentum or jump is you still have it. It's a momentum glitch. The same reason why you start to rise if you press jump and barrel boost at the same time.

^^^ Yep.

Also, there is a Q&A thread in the stickies. Ask this there if you want to know more.
