The Diddy Kongpendium: ATs, Must Reads, and More

[btb]

alright well i suck at testing, ill agree with count, i definitely need to work on my DI. But when I did test I was hit more upwards so what count says makes sense. When I did test though I died everytime i jumped, but if i side b I lived. And does jumping really save u if u get knocked horizontally? or is it best to just bair and ffall? I kinda fell off the smash scene when everyone was figuring new stuff out, so some questions sound more noob than i actually am ><

 

[Bellioes]

Actually its best to do both. You should Bair and then fastfall ASAP. Then if you feel youre still going to go off the side blast zone, jump forwards right after and I dont know if this helps, but I Bair and fastfall again after jumping. And if you have a banana, its better to throw it (I believe Up has the fastest animation though i could be wrong) instead of Bairing the first time.

 

[Coyn3Masta]

I always bair, jump, then side b, it that bad o.O?

Hey monkeys, I was trying ddk, against a snake cpu, on RC.

I was on blocks that fall, and I grabbed snake. When I Fthrew him, he has been "teleported" under those blocks, and behind me. I was like "WTF ddk should be banned"

I'll post a video of this

Please do post a video; if we can reproduce it, it'd be a good addition to the Glitches section.

 

[Kaptain Kong]

i think i did this to my friend once too, rc has a lot of glitches on the upper part

 

[Bwa]

Done

[Player-1]

that's nothing special, just about every char can do it.

 

[Bwa]

It happened because DDK put the opponent behind him before release, and all character does not have throw like his

Any character who has a throw that doesn't send the opponent directly upwards can do it which is every character (except maybe GaW):

To OP: Yeah, that's a stage glitch... Not a Diddy glitch. Good find/try, though

EDIT: I added the Diddy Xat! Everyone use it! Rawr :3

EDIT: I also added the Situational Tricks Thread

 

[AvaricePanda]

Super clean, nice looking cleanup :D.

And yay, I have 2 threads on here, lol.

 

[Ingulit]

Version 2.0 of the Kongpendium is complete! I've done some major format changes, and I think it looks much better for it. What do you guys think? Do the pictures make sense (lol Nana joke, totally couldn't think of anything else)? I just didn't think a simple color change was enough.

 

[Ingulit]

Well, after a long hiatus, I added Shield Bouncing as an AT (why it wasn't in that section in the first place, I'm not sure), and I added Double Dropping due to recent discussion involving it (the HRC technique). I also threw in the Potassium Overdose thread, because I *hope* it's useful. Is there anything else I've missed this past month?

 

[Legendary Pikachu]

Hi all. Just visiting with a present for everybody. Hi GDX if you see this! Man... I needa visit this place some more... i play with a few times too.

Anywayz, cutting to the chase:

I was wondering if you guys could make use of this new AT with pikachu? I'm teaming with my bro (arc-thefallen-, plays Toon Link and Samus) and am going to advance the technique. Here's the original post AND video! ^_^ enjoy!

Cool thing about this move is that it allows a INSTANTANEOUS NON-FASTFALLED d-air right in the middle of it. Works for those with laggy (but epic) spike-moves with high fastfall risk.

Thanks for the time. Please pm me if you have any neat contributions or comments. :D

 

[Coyn3Masta]

I think your link is broken....either that or my internet blows

 

[Legendary Pikachu]

Above link updated... Thanks for update man. :D

[Jupz]

Its fairly situational, but it would be sweet if you got it in a match :D

 

[Ingulit]

Well, won't deny what you said; that is a new AT, but it is for Pikachu. This is mostly for techniques unique to Diddy, or that help Diddy especially. That and this doesn't go over the team aspects of Diddy Kong in its current state.

 

[Legendary Pikachu]

Oh alright... i'll take that to heart. 'ppreciate it.

 

[GooseMainsDiddy]

People need to start following his advise on the "ANOTHER NOTE ON GLIDE TOSSING" thing. It will really help if we make that universal.

 

[xXFrosTXx]

the weak glide toss sure does has a little difference to the normal glide toss



so how do u weak glide toss anyways?
I didn't get the Whole picture on how to do it

The idea is that you're doing your standard throw while sliding; it stems from Glide Dropping, where you Z-Drop an item while sliding. To do it, you press Z or A a few frames later in a Roll than you would to normally Glide Toss. It's not much difference at all, but nonetheless it's an AT and it might have its uses.

...i wish the diddy xat was actually active

 

[Kaptain Kong]

...i wish the diddy xat was actually active

who goes there?

 

[TreK]

no one, that's the point in being dead.

Who wants to make another one and make it active ? The 6 hours difference doesn't let me do it...

You guys should include the airdodge - z drop thing with bananas. It lets you airdodge and z drop the banana at the same time. It's useful if your opponent thinks you're going to airdodge before you hit the ground, so they try and pivot grab, but you drop the banana so they get hit. found it on the TL boards. hahaha

!!!!!!!!

Yo
I've been saying this tech is amazing for 7 months.
I hate all of you except Felix now. :V

 

[Ingulit]

I've actually been hearing you talk about it, but what is it called? Is there a link I can point to to add it? I agree that it'd be a good addition if I had more information (beyond the basics).

 

[TreK]

It's called a dodgedrop, tech and name all by Niko_K. There's a vid on his youtube

 

[Ingulit]

I added Dodge Dropping, though I found it in the Tink boards (albeit under a different name). Did I get the right thing?

 

[TreK]

Niko found it in feb '08, the TLs 10 months later. You should credit him or he'll get angry at us :V
I'd show you the uses of this tech but I lack replays where I use it. Been focusing on my banana game, I'm just not playing as flashy as I used to two weeks ago lol

 

[Kaptain Kong]

you can do this with instant throw too if anyone didnt know

just make sure you arent hitting the control stick which would make you throw

Do what with Instant Throw? Dodge Dropping? How?

EDIT: Gave credit where credit is due.

yeah, just hit R/L then a (no direction on control stick)

Oh, you catch it and then Dodge Drop, in one swift movement. Gotcha.

 

[TreK]

yeah but it kinda lose insta throw's usage and goodness. The only use I've found to this is vs Luigi's back GT, the banana's on the floor so he's tripped, but doesn't slide away. Free kill move :V

This guide guide is 2 good :D

WOW! This is Brilliant!

Haha, thank y'all. I'm here to help

I STILL want a revised Throw guide, people. I'm not good enough at Brawl to write it
