xaltis use ganondorf so when dfear hits a guy with a banana you can use down air and do 22%

if you backthrow at a low percent and they don't tech it, you can ftilt into a jablock but you can't continue it, useful for doubles though

So, backthrow>walk into a angledowned ftilt, He is then forced to get up so you can grab, so far only tested on snake. I'm not sure what happens if they DI away though this is just on a computer.

How do you beat Sonic?

 

[Xaltis]

How do you beat Sonic?

You dont be a *****.

 

[sai_:)]

How do you beat Sonic?

Check me out sonic Ive got a banana in my hand so ima just chill in my shield...do something about it...I dare you.

 

[vato_break]

You throw banana's at sonic when he spin dashes at you. Walk around and stuff, bait.


jebus had a close set with __X__ though, good shi

 

[GDX]

I have a personal salt pack for fighting sonic

 

[Ingulit]

So I started testing this with my friend but he had to leave before we could move onto other characters. It involves your opponent Grabbing you and then Grab Breaking, which admittedly isn't particularly common. If ROB grabs you and Ground Breaks, up until around 70-80% (we didn't get exact numbers) Diddy can D-Smash and always connect if ROB does anything besides immediately Shield (it beat Jab, it beat D-Tilt, Roll, everything we tried). After 70-80%, when Diddy is released he is sent further back for some reason (I didn't even know about this mechanic until a little bit ago) and ROB can safely counter-attack (D-Smash will whiff). D-Smash worked when Jab and D-Tilt did not; Jab didn't have enough range, and D-Tilt never beat ROB's priority.

A free D-Smash can get you out of a tight spot or time to pull a Banana... When someone does Ground Break you, this might be safe, as immediately Shielding isn't usually what you do when you Grab Break. I would LOVE to see if this works against Squirtle, but I'm almost 100% sure it won't beat Jab's speed. I already know that this is not safe to do offensively (IE, we Ground Break them) due to testing the Banana Choke; the opponent is sent too far back for the D-Smash (or anything, for that matter) to hit.

Grab Breaks are uncommon, and I've never seen anyone talk about them in length. Comments?

 

[Seagull Joe]

I was wondering. Do any Diddy's Pivot Smash? Diddy's Pivot Smash is huge...Like as big as Mk's.

 

[sai_:)]

Seagull I think we probably would do it more but since bananas give us a free smash anyway we don't have to worry about it. It looks cool though

 

[Ingulit]

Is there a thread or a guide that the Diddy community wants posted? I can work on one or two in my spare time for awhile (until my college classes actually kick into high gear).

EDIT: Pivot Smash? I don't have that in the Kongpendium, is that something that needs to be added?

EDIT 2: What is the consensus for Diddy's hardest MUs now? When I left, it was Marth, Peach, and Luigi, and Falco was just irritating.

EDIT 3: Hell, has the Brawl meta itself shifted at all in the past 3-4 months? Has anything been discovered for other characters that I need to be worried about?

 

[RiverDB]

I can only answer the first edit, i think what he means by 'pivot smash' is sutter stepping, something that prolly is in the kongpendium

 

[Ingulit]

I wouldn't think it's Stutter Stepping from the way he talked about it; Diddy's Stutter Step doesn't add very much range, and I think he's using D-Smash (not F-Smash, AKA it can't be Stutter Stepping so far as I'm aware).

 

[Player-1]

pivot smashing is using your slide from turning around in a dash plush an fsmash and it basically combines, it's most common with MKs:

technique 10 he refers to it as slingshot smashing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd5VPusKIz0

tips for olimar and Ic's?

 

[Enzo]

^meta knight for ics

 

[tibs7]

Against ic's use side b when you have a banana in hand it's pretty **** otherwise just camp them and make them come to you.
Dunno oli too well :/

 

[Ingulit]

A very small tip vs. Olimar: Short Hop your Banana throws as his Pikmin from his Smashes won't get in the way (thrown Pikmin are another story).

 

[SaveMeJebus]

1. Run towards Falco and use your slide as he uses his reflector. Diddy's slide will go under the reflector (just don't get so close that he can grab you if he ends up not reflecting).

2. Here is a little trick you guys can use if you team with Falco. Charge your barrels and have the Falco reflector you. Diddy's barrels will shoot out but they will never damage Falco (but they can hit Diddy although the only way this can happen is if the Diddy is intentionally trying to get hit by them). If they hit the enemy, they will do 48% and can kill at percentages as low as 40%!!!

 

[FelixTrix]

IC's are easy i beat cheese all the time. just stay on platforms and wait for cheese to attack you with really laggy aerials. then you can grab popo, throw him away, and **** his nana. then he'll try to save nana, and you gimp popo. If you keep repeating this process, you'll beat him no problem (but he'll call his deaths SD's). It's really easy/funny. I suggest you all try it.

:D
