Pseudo

Jab > Grab
Jab > Side-b


Detailed Description/Summary


Very good move to hit when close up.

Jab1 should be used for most situations if you try to do a standing grab unless they just have their shield up. The vast majority of the time it will combo into a grab if you connect with it which is why it's better than just a normal standing grab and also because jab1 has such low cool down that it will be much more difficult to punish than a whiffed grab. If they spotdodge it that is also a free grab.

Jab2 is fairly useless because of how much cool down it has unless you want to combo it into jab 3.

Jab 3 is a bit more useful than people think just for pressuring purposes. I like to use it to see what the opponent does to punish it and if they don't DI up and hit you out of it then I'll continue to throw it in every once in a while. Olimar is a good char to use it against because it will beat out pikmin a lot of the time. It's also a great pressuring game especially on the ledge. I like to use it a lot to sandwhich characters between the jab3 and a banana if they're standing in front of one.
The earliest you can act after Jab1 (other than going into Jab2) is frame 18. The earliest you can act after Jab2 (other than going into Jab3) is frame 21. Pretty slow overall, but I still find things like Jab > Grab to be effective.

Jab1 is also good to take advantage of RCO lag, but Diddy doesn't really need to exploit RCO when he has bananas.
DFEAR said:
Jab 1: srsrly. hits on frame 3 best confirm type of move ever. see someone spotdodgin either dtilt or jab :3. good link to grab i guess but not a legit combo since the opponent can grab u just as fast as u can grab him

Interesting Properties


Jab1 can force a get up but only in certain circumstances. Only the back hitbox of the jab will force the get up, since this hitbox is SO small you can't hit it unless you hit while the character hits ground from the air because otherwise the character's hurtbox won't be able to reach the jab's hitbox except in the initial connection between the ground and the character. The best way to get this setup is to send the character into his edge slip animation off of a platform and hit them on their way down.

Combos


True:
F-Tilt > Banana Trip (Low %) (The F-Tilt pushes the opponent into a Banana behind them)


Detailed Description/Summary


A good attack that does a good amount of damage and has decent knock back. Our only other attack besides banana that can stop MK's Tornado. The downsides to this move are that it has a lot of ending lag and low kill power.
Ftilt is a very good move for killing, but even better is that it is a good move to keep kill moves fresh while still giving a good amount of damage. Sometimes you just need that extra range that an fsmash can't give you or need the quickness of it to hit the person out of a banana lock.

It's a GREAT move for punishing airdodges because most of the time they try to airdodge at a good distance away thinking their out of range from the ftilt so it's a good surprise move.

Combined with angled ftilts, this move is GREAT on large slopes like the 2nd transformation of Frigate. This is because it can outrange things like Snake's ftilt since his can't be tilted up and down like ours.

Upward angle ftilt outranges Marth's fair it's good in that MU if you can predict the move.
Dtilt is a great mid/close range attack. It has nearly the same amount of range as ftilt with great knockback and trajectory as well as coming out on frame 4 with very little cool down.
if you play against people really experienced vs diddy they will spot dodge after a dtilt, so keep that in mind and just fsmash or pivot grab.

also, GR snake on the ledge>---dtilt for a gimp....or if you predict the snake to airdodge through the dtilt, step back and fsmash.

Best times to use this move is when the opponent is near you and at low or high percents. It's a very good kill move (able to kill MK with average DI at 150% on FD).

Amazing move against people that approach from the air and really good for hitting out of airdodges.

Able to hit people on most average height platforms like BF
it's awesome for hitting chars that approach from above. I've found this move very good for stopping Fox's or Wario's dair approaches, the only thing is that it has to be well spaced or else you'll eat the dair and possibly the follow ups in case of Fox.
this is a good 'panic' move. So like, if you don't have ten billion situations memorized and you're in a tourney match and don't know what too do up close, utilt is almost never a bad option. spotdodge to utilt to gtfo the opponent is amazing.

Diddy's utilt can bring your hurtbox up long enough to dodge certain attacks

Detailed Description/Summary


Fsmash is a good move all around in the sense that it is good for both damage racking and killing. I normally keep track of how often I use it and when I last hit with it so I can know if it's fresh or not and if it's not then I opt for dsmash. It's a GREAT move if your opponent is at the ledge because there is not much they can do. If they shield it the first hit pushes them off of the stage and the 2nd hit will hit them and what's good about this is that since you're at the very edge of the stage it has a good chance of killing early. It's a great move for punishing airdodges as well. One of the bad things about this move though is that opponents can DI the first hit of fsmash to get out of the 2nd hit so sometimes it's better just to dsmash.
If someone DIs out, or even just DIs it into the ground, they can punish you.

Protip:

Enemy has ****ty SDI/reactions? Fsmash ALL DAY.

Detailed Description/Summary


Usually I use this move just for killing, but if I see an opportunity for it that an fsmash probably won't hit then I'll go for it since it's pretty good at damage racking too. Just keep track with if you hit with fsmash or dsmash last and then use the other one for killing. Dsmash is a pretty fast move for a smash attack.

Dsmas's 2nd hit (the back hit) is substantially weaker than the first hit so always go for the first hit if you can. Sometimes I'd rather just not hit with the back hit at all since it makes my dsmash staler.

Sometimes against Marths (other characters as well, but mostly Marths) I like to grab them at the edge if I can and then just pummel release them and a good amount of time they'll try to jump up and fair so I dsmash before they can get the fair out and a lot of times it turns into a free gimp since they've already used their midair jump.
Diddy’s 2nd fastest Smash Attack and easily the best. Opponents can’t DI out of it and it’s a great finisher after a forward GT. The only problem is that the attack leaves you open if you miss, but if you’re concerned about getting punished just replace it with a down tilt. Its also good at pressuring shielders after a shielded banana toss shince it hits them too far away to punish you and it takes a nice chunk out of their shield.

If you hit when your inside your opponent, you can sometimes hit with both hits for an easy 30 damage :)

Detailed Description/Summary


This move is really MU dependent for me. In a couple of MUs it's amazing and then in others it's just average. This move is great for punishing spotdodges overall or if you're like right on top of each other. It's 1 frame faster than utilt as well. Any character that likes to approach with airdodges it's typically good, for example Wario. It's really good against Luigi as well since it beats out moves like dair and nair.

Since it's good for spotdodge and up close battles in those situations it's usually best to jump cancel it OoS for the additional speed.

this can be DIed out of as well as fsmash, but it's a bit harder.

It lifts you off the ground and can avoid a lot of grabs tilts and smashes.

Welcome to the new community Diddy guide! Each week (or half week) I'll put up threads to discuss each of Diddy's moves and ATs, and at the end of week (or half week) I'll post a summary in here.

I don't have the ATs up yet, just the movesets.

Can I get any critique on the format?


EDIT: Also, this:
Just get the information that we put one the two community guide groups you made
They're really old, so I'm just having people start from scratch. If you posted in one of the groups and that's all you have to say about any given move, just copy-paste that info into here please :)

People will have an easier time finding these threads than the old group, anyway.

EDIT 2: This week, the discussion will be about Diddy's Jab and his Tilts.

Just letting you know, the stuff that helps new Diddys/lesser Diddys the most isn't an extensive write-up detailing the properties of every move, it's telling them things like useful mix-ups to use in X situation etc.

What'd be really helpful would be if the guide said what banana mix-ups are good in certain situations- such as in the neutral position, approaching from the air, mid-range, at the ledge etc.

Also, guides tend to make vague comments such as "mix up your approach" or "condition your opponent into doing a certain action and then punish it". That stuff is pointless, it's much better to tell us actual approach mix-ups, and what is good to condition and how we go about conditioning it.

Dre, thanks for the input. Let me explain how I'm hoping to structure the guide:

The guide will consist of several different sections, first of which is a detailed discription of each move. From what I've seen in other guides, this is relatively standard, and is designed to aid the complete Brawl newcomer in familiarizing themself with Diddy's moveset.

The next section is going to be about Advanced Techniques and will follow the same design as the moveset section.

The following sections are going to discuss what you're saying, such as smart Banana placement, when to pull a Banana safely, mixups, etc. etc.


Because I am having weekly discussions of moves/ATs/etc., I am leaving the other General Diddy Guide (with more of the information you're talking about) stickied until enough discussions have been had to populate this guide appropriately.

Thank you for the feedback. Did I miss anything in my explanation, and/or do you have any disagreements with these ideas?

I am aware of the format, I just feel most of it is unecessary. You already have an AT guide and an individual move guide, I don't see why you need to re-do those.

What you don't have is a guide on practical mix-ups, ledge game, approaches etc. I personally feel this is what should be discussed and formatted first, and then if you still feel the the need to re do the AT and individual move guide, then do that later, because that's not important.

Think about how character boards go about making MU charts. They generally discuss the high tier characters first, because seeing as they're the most important MUs, they feel it's most important to get that information out first.

So just as it's more important to learn the MK MU before the Ness MU, it's more important for a Diddy to learn approaches, mix-ups, the ledge-game etc. before they learn how to single-nana infinite, or the frame data of specific moves to know which moves are good in specific MUs.

Look normally I wouldn't challenge things like this, because I'm a new, low-level Diddy who isn't even apart of this character board community. But with regards to this guide, the fact I am a new low-level Diddy is what validates my opinion, because I'm exactly the type of person the guide is aimed at.

That's just my opinion. I'm obviously not going to complain if you stick to your original plan.

Sorry I'm in a my debate mood, hence the overly throurough post.

Now I understand your concern, and that's a valid point. For the sake of consistency, I do want to finish up the moveset and AT threads first (I'll only touch on vital ATs like Glide Tossing), but I'll try to get them finished more quickly so we can get to what you're talking about.

Update:

I added several things to the format, including a Basics section, an Interesting Properties section, and images of each of the moves from the current Diddy general guide.

I finished the Jab, F-Tilt, D-Tilt, and U-Tilt summaries, and those are posted.

I started the F-Smash, D-Smash, and U-Smash threads. Go post in them!

dash attack>jab is only a true combo in the sense that they can't shield grab it, pretty sure some of the characters can still attack out of it before you can get the jab off.

We should use that thread again, if only as a means of obtaining the information for this guide.

I second this notion. If we could get more posts like Sails', that thread could provide incredible information for newcomers. Go on ahead and necro that thread and see it it goes anywhere (or have someone else take it over if you want).

I like the format of this guide. The D3s may be using this for our guide (Our is ancient). I will give credit where credit is due however.

Technical Chase, when it comes to the format, go for it!

As for the content, I'd update if anyone other than P1 (thank you P1) posted in the threads :\

EDIT: I'm updating the summaries now. I'm also adding all the basic information for each move.
