Stage counterpick and ban discussion

[darkNES386]

So Norfair sounds like a pretty good stage to hurt Diddy Kong's Bananas. What other stages are good counters? Brinstar? Luigi Mansion?

Sonic has the speed to turn Diddy Kong's nanners against him. Do you try to use them against him or simply get rid / avoid them? It can be assumed that a good diddy kong will usually have much more experience... so what's your approach?

Lol get those nans away

With sonic, it's better to pick up the bananas and try to air throw to Bair.

I swear, the next time I face a Diddy / other items character, the only thing I'm gonna try to do is find ways of using Z-drop from SDJ ftw. Even though I can't think of any meaningful use for it in 1v1, and there are most certainly better options..... it's just so neat

Diddy's tough to use on Rainbow Cruise.

So I've heard (O.o you still won)

Just take everyone to GG's.

Seriously.

Yeah but the total annihilation of bananas made it tough. Not to mention his recovery is unwieldy and his air movement is rather lousy.

What's a good counterpick for peach, game and watch or falco??

Some things to keep in mind about peach is that she is strongest in the air and that she has one of the worst vertical recoveries in the game.

Seriously.

... maybe I'm just too sleepy, but what's GG's? :/

 

[Boxob]

Green Greeeeens.

 

[infomon]

oh lol of course, thx

 

[SonicX580]

Hey what did I miss?

 

[Napilopez]

Wow, GG IS awesome for Sonic :D

 

[SonicX580]

Green Greens yeah it's good but I have a question with the limited space and the blocks (exploding too) how do I take adavantage of Sonic's speed with liitle space for speed attacks?

 

[Kinzer]

Go aerial, use Spinshots, take advantage of apples when they come, and yeah.

 

[Boxob]

GG's is good if you know what you're doing. You gotta use ASC and Spinshot A LOT.

I figure Spins are so good here because there isn't much room to escape them. Let's say you's on a platform and they're in the middle, you can asc down, they jump, good, jump and fair. They really have no where to go?

Pop quiz: What style of play is described above?

Hint, it's what I do, always.

GO!

Durr, Boxob style.

Close, could be re-named into Boxob Style, that'd be hawt.
