2 Things.

1.Why in the universe have we stopped thoroughly discussing the PSNL?!?!? We need tutorial videos, how-to threads, experimentation! It's an infinite that apparently is really easy and can be done on the majority of the cast, we need to be attacking this from all angles! Also I still can't seem to pull it off so if anyone is willing to post a play by play on how to do it, it would be greatly appreciated. I intend on making this an 'as frequently as possible' thing.

2. How essential is pivoting to diddy kong/brawl in general? I've never really taken the time incorporating it, and I know it does have some uses, but does diddy really need it? Pivot grabs, smashes, whatever else there is, I don't know.
Diddy's boosted pivot grab is actually great! The grab and throw together happens surprisingly fast and the slide it self is decent so I say you should go about using/abusing it. ( I try to at least)

Also seriously if someone could make a tutorial (I'm lookin at you ingulit) that really intensely breaks down the psnl, I and the rest of us diddys who havent really gotten it down yet, would very very much appreciate it.

Well the guide would be great so you should make one and then receive the praise for it.

On another note. Is your profile picture.....diddy kongs head....on pheonix wrights body? Because if it is, then you are my favorite Diddy player now.

I'm going to be getting Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth in the next couple days. Those games are just way to amazing. The music is great, the characters are funny and believable, the gameplay is engaging and fun, and the story twists are clever and surprising. GREAT. FRIGGEN. GAMES.

Also, I'm jealous of the picture.

wait...theres a prosecutor version?

EDIT: Is there only one miles edgeworth game? Because if there is I had assumed you were the defense. If you're the prosecutor then I'm gonna be REALLY pumped.

watch out for lazers. Be ready to predict it. When you're off stage they can use the lazer to snipe you to the edge. They can glide toss their gyro (and your bananas for that matter) REALLY FAR and can slide into any of their smashes, or a grab or whatever. Be ready to evade appropriately. They can push you far off stage with repeated fairs if you aren't warry. Dsmash is hard to get out of so make sure you keep your shield up for the whole duration of the smash. Usmash has almost no horizontal range so don't be TOO scared of it, but it can kill fairly well. Their nair is going to be one of their main kill moves and it's range is pretty substantial, so you need to be careful when they are coming towards you in the air, DI away from them if you can, or airdodge and prey it doesn't get you on the turn around. His bair has fantastic range as well and is a pretty serious kill move. Be ready to airdodge and DI away. Their dair has good range and is a good spike so they can potentially run off the stage, dair, and even DI back onto the stage because the dair pops them up a bit. Their get up game is pretty sad most of the time (so far as i know) so edge guard them like a *****. You obviously aren't going to get a gimp off of them so don't bother with off stage attempts unless you can kill with a surprise off stage fair. You MIGHT try to keep them at bay with fairs and bairs while they are off stage, and using Zdropped nanas off the edge to prevent their vertical recovery, and possibly hit them with bair during their nana hitstun. Wouldn't suggest it though because their nair will destroy you unless you're quick. Their Uair has a long hit box so be careful about getting juggles, their utilt has decent range so don't try attacking from above them. Just keep up the pressure on them and don't let them camp you with lazers and what not. Fair can space them pretty well. Beware of their ftilt it has decent range.


EDIT: Thats what i got anyway.

If he's able to insta-throw your bananas back at you, (I'm assuming this is what is bother you) then that means he's reading you WAY to well. His shorthop is a bit slow so it's not even a reaction thing, you're just being predictable with your throws. As far as mixing it, try running at him with banana in hand, dribble back when he predicts, and punish his landing. You could also set up 2 bananas and punish landing after he catches the first. For the insta-throw thing just predict it, shield it, and then insta-throw it back after it bounces from your shield, that should be fast enough to catch him by surprise almost surely. If it hits his shield, just get that grab. Easy as that.

Also I have NO IDEA what your second sentence meant.

TL;DR: Instant Throw his Instant Throws back. Sounds legit.

But what if he Instant Throws your Instant Throw of his Instant Throw? Do you Instant Throw his Instant Throw of your Instant Throw of his Instant Throw? Does it ever end?

Snake can easily jab catch naner if your doing simple glide tossing...and nothing is safe on his shield. My best advice is to throw your throw your naners while jumping so it'll hit the top of his shield, far away from his jab's hitbox :).

If its just regular instant throwing, mdm did it pretty well...its just reacting to when he throws... and making sure u throw it a awkward angle, its not always going for the "trip"

I find it funny that ADHD probably has the easier bracket out of anyone.
Dekar has the hardest bracket I have ever seen.

Co18, Richbrown(well, not really him.), M2K, Lain, DEHF, Tyrant(imo), Ally. O:

What the **** is mlg doing? They just gave him a bracket like he was some bottom seed player. And this **** expensive, people are paying quite alot of money just to end up bracket ****ed. I hope everything works out. and more so i hope they can talk to nintendo and have them get their **** together. Because theres no good reason we shouldnt be able to see a live stream. Brawls not even new its been out 2 years i have no idea what nintendo is trying to do with this ****...whatever. I just hope the Diddys do as best they can.

Were all rooting for you Dekar...even tho you have like factually the worlds hardest bracket

How do you break Diddy Kong's peanuts and turn them into food? Is it random or does it have to be a really weak attack? I was playing a diddy with my sonic and several times my fair broke the peanuts, producing food. Sometimes the peanut was destroyed, sometimes it split into food. The fair may have been stale enough to do less than 1% per hit.

O.o O rlly? you should start testing then, turn items OFF and every item OFF and try it with a fully stale fair

(although i seriously doubt it would work -.-)

Peanuts never appear if you have both all Items turned "Off" and their frequency set to "None" (the tournament standard).

Does Dekar play against any notable MKs often? I don't know what region he's from >.>




Oh, also:

AS LONG AS MLG IS GOING ON, THIS BOARD IS UNDER TEMPORARY HIATUS

so it seems.
