Vs Diddy, spam nados less, fireballs more, dair a lot, reverse your shield on those monkey kicks to usmash oos, and more importantly pressure Diddy toward the nearest ledge where you can have him get a hundred percents before even hitting you or escaping the ledge ; then you just have to punish whatever he does with a killmove.

When you're being juggled, try not to land near the ledges as Diddy can do the same to us.

What makes the matchup so good for us is that he cannot set up kills on us even with bananas unless you really play dumb, so we won't die until 140-150 while he can be KOed as soon as 90 with fsmash and edgeguarded any time. So don't play dumb, focus on not being killed and landing a killmove whenever you get the chance to.

That's basically the main things to keep in mind when fighting a Diddy. You can get deeper by learning Diddy's ATs and stuff, but it is not necessary and could do more harm than anything to you if you do it wrong. Diddies know how to fight people who think they can use bananas, trust me.

Thanks Tenenban. I think my main problem is that I'm not staying in the air/air camping enough.

@Ragekev and Variable

Be quiet guys. Someone's gonna lurk in here and realize how broken Luigi and ban the grounded version or shoryuken. Can't let them do that.

One thing about most diddies is that they will put themselves in danger to get their bananas back. Good diddies also know how to make it look like they're doing so to try and bait you.

Knowing this, you can create a strategy. If you get ahold of a banana, don't throw it at diddy, you're just doing him a favor. Pick it up so that it counts in your posession and then put it somewhere diddy can't get to without going through you. If you have his bananas behind you and you're pressuring with fireballs there's not much diddy can do but approach. Really the smart thing to do in that situation would be to shield the fireballs and just wait for the bananas to despawn, but not many diddy's know about or are willing to do this. Dunno why, but its a fairly consistent thing (don't think its gonna work on gnes though lol). If you can get yourself in that situation often you should win.

Too bad shoryuken sends people upwards...

Aww who cares, do it anyway lol.

Speaking of MK, where do you guys usually take him? I feel pretty comfortable fighting anywhere except his usual CPs.

well for the MK MU stay patient its like the marth matchup but u will have to run away and camp fireballs and IMO if u camp right u only have to get inside once... 4 the kill move just or stay above him and the ONLY reason i say this is cause u can Dair him outta his nado( not recommended though)

WE NEED TO FINISH THE MU THREAD anyway need help wit G&W MU i usually go about fireball camping until he absorbs 1 after that he left wide open for a shoryuken and he 3rd lightest so it generally work lol

WE NEED TO FINISH THE MU THREAD
I'll try to contribute if you guys do. We need to talk to YoshQ about it, it's his thread. We really do need to discuss Luigi's MUs though. If we pool all of our knowledge together, we'll be able to figure out the best ways to handle each one.

anyway need help wit G&W MU i usually go about fireball camping until he absorbs 1 after that he left wide open for a shoryuken and he 3rd lightest so it generally work lol
See, if we had a MU thread, you could look there, but no, we fail :embarrass

I say we start ASAP, which would be now lol.

Let me look at what's on the MU board now.
