Won a tournament again yesterday
got bout 200 bucks then went to the casino and added 300 to that ahaha 2g

 

[Sails]

Lost to my friends Snake today in a tournament. Was not happy.

For one, the bananas I shielded were bouncing over me instead of straight up, this was displeasing and I wish I knew why. I'm thinking it has to do with his height...

Second, what stage would you guys recommend taking Snakes to? FD will always be banned, I usually go with Battlefield and Smashville, but those platforms really help them Snakes out.

 

[sai_:)]

if pictochats legal then there definitely.

hows frigate for the mu???

It has nothing to do with his height; you simply were Perfect Shielding the Bananas. If you hold Shield, they will always bounce straight up.

Okay, I was playing vs my friend (Falco)
and I was Up bing off stage, but when I was charging the up b, Diddy began to rise in the air...

What is this????

It is very, very, very old, that's what it is. If you're in any kind of hitstun from anything and you Up-B, your momentum does not stop. The fact that you rose while using Up-B is because you had Jumped, giving you upwards momentum. This was originally thought to be a way to counter Falco's CG > Spike, but I think that idea was abandoned. This is something you have to look out for at other times as well: if Mario or Squirtle use their water gun attacks and you Up-B while some of the water is hitting you, you will start falling while using Up-B, which may or may not screw up your angle if you don't catch it in time.

CP snake to RC, it's too good. don't cp frigate, snake is pretty good there.

That isn't a horrible idea, really. Trouble is most Snake players have a pocket MK x.x

 

[Player-1]

CP RC anyway.

 

[SaveMeJebus]

diddy kong's tail is disjointed. I'm going to start using the jab combo more

 

[Boofy!]

nana> jab combo is so overlooked

 

[TreK]

can't people shield the second jab ?

 

[Kaptain Kong]

if they smash di, but if you do the tailwhip, it'll usually knock their shield out of grab range

 

[Grizzer]

jab 2 ->jab 3 isnt a true combo...

im just sayin...

they can shield after hit 2 and grab after 3

 

[DFEAR]

was about to 2-0 esam...then completely decided to lose faith in my character and self...
i love me -___-

ever lose faith in diddy :\?

nope. By the evidence of other smashers in different states, ive been shown that diddy wasnt the problem. The recovery does make me sad sometimes though

 

[DFEAR]

need a confidence boost then >_>

 

[Sails]

I swear I read ADHD or someone write on these boards to smash the stick and cstick upwards to get out of MK's tornado. My friend however, says that he's pretty sure you can't SDI it, so the cstick part is pointless. Truth?

Thanks for the info about the power shielding nanas Ingulit, it's definitely going to be a problem considering I despringed my controller and I've been power shielding like mad.

 

[tibs7]

You can pretty much sdi anything scrub.

But I tend to sdi into the middle and try to airdodge through it. Other wise watch gnes vs dojo. Gnes upairs in the middle of tornado and takes the stock<3 which you can also try and do.

 

[Player-1]

i'm pretty sure you can only SDI it if you get caught in he upper part of the nado.

 

[NinjaLink]

nana> jab combo is so overlooked

been doin this for awhile. It is pretty overlooked i agree.

Did this to M2k too....honestly...u can also try fair.

in one match i instant threw a naner that was on a platform at the mk while he was tornadoing me....really weird

 

[tibs7]

I thought the move has to be at the most 4 frames if you were to do anything in his nado.
I have no idea where I pulled that from though .

What is your button inputs to do things in nado gnes?

 

[redrighthand]

You can Z-drop a banana in Nado Correct?

 

[TreK]

Yeah but I wouldn't advice it, the nado is mobile enough for MK to avoid most banana drops ; usually I just try to DI if I have a banana in my hand, and if I fail to (read : most of the time) it means I've just kept a banana to avoid that second tornado that I'm going to plow through.

If the MK nados in place though, if he's stupid enough to do so when the nado can bring diddy to the ledge and grant MK awesome stage control, yup you could try to Z drop it.

 

[Ingulit]

Most characters can SDI the first hit of the AAA combo and punish before you can stop. I learned that the hard way recently. ;.; It is slightly disjointed, but not enough to really help.

That said, it completely screws over Olimar; the only thing he can do on the ground to get through it is a purple Pikmin throw afaik.

I just wiggle the control stick in like a "infinity" pattern OO....and do it as hard as i can

i found the video

hehe lol. That situation doesnt happen too often.....then again....

 

[sai_:)]

So we can instant throw bananas mid tornado???(if they bring us to one on a platform...)

This is awesome man

 

[Player-1]

most likely only down throw since it's the fastest, I don't think up, left, or right are fast enough, but that's not much of a problem since we'll have to throw it down most of the time.

 

[Gnes]

I dont think any throw is faster than the rest...and i threw it to the left

 

[DFEAR]

other character direction throws are slow compared to diddys. like d3's upward throw is easily punishable compared to his right or left throws opposite applies with pickachu. diddys throws are too good.

 

[TreK]

What makes me happy, is that MK's item tosses suck.

 

[vato_break]

is diddys jab>grab guarentee'd?

 

[Yikarur]

no.

Here's a quote to get you a good laugh.

[NinjaLink]

up actually has the best throw recovery time. It throw the nana the slowest (11frame) but the least recovery.

 

[Player-1]

Diddy Item (Banana) Throws:

Forward:
Hit 7, End 20

Backward
Hit 9, End 20

Downward
Hit 6, End 18

Upward
Hit 11, End 20

Hitlag: 6

Hyuk hyuk.

-

Diddy Kong Up B:

Landing Lag: 30 Frames
Hit: 8-?
Total Stun: 10 (on shield)

down is the fastest and has least recovery time according to this.

 

[DFEAR]

is diddys jab>grab guarentee'd?

AND falcos jab> grab isnt guaranteed either. after u shield or get hit by jab just roll away
