Technically you got an A from your Q "how is this a q&a"


also so far diddy's 2011 metagame is the same as the 2010 one, unless you count the lock. maybe people will start going for it more?

Ive pulled it off in tourney :D (against scrubs)

i realized i could've done the lock at WGF in my pool, but i haven't given myself the mindset to actually do it and react in the given opportunity yet >.<

It kinda requires you to get a decent read but I mean its worth it.

The guy(scrub) I landed it on was a r.o.b that loooved spot dodge>d-smash. so after he spot dodged he got lockededed

I hit the ZSS i was playing with a banana from over head and i did the FF airdodge to re-catch it. i just hadn't ever practiced it on a ZSS and again, was not in the prepped mindset to remember it.

Also, here's an actual question: when getting a grab at early percentages, is it better to Dthrow or Uthrow to keep the Fthrow and Bthrow fresh later or is it more based on the MU itself?

Zss is easy to lock, just aim for the vag and not the legs. they kinda bounce

I think I found a great setup for the infinte, im pretty sure it is legit and the read isn't even that difficult to get off. and no, I am not having a jebus moment. I'm gonna test it out in friendlies just incase.

Theres a very specific balance between the amount of diddy players and luigi players... disrupt the balance and all hell breaks loose. Dfear is a hero for taking one for the team.

Use U-Throw in certain match-ups where the opponent doesn't like being above you (see: ROB). Otherwise just use F- and B-Throw to get your opponent away from you so you can pull out a Banana safely. You shouldn't be trying to kill with Throws as Diddy anyway, so those two Throws being stale isn't a big deal.

even though my aim is never to actually kill with the throws, having them set-up as a kill move in case i struggle in actually just landing one is really nice. that and the occasional "grab to quick throw before reaction/mashing" can help get some nice kills due to bad DI and just stage positioning as well. :p

I mean, it's up to you, but I kill so infrequently with my throws that I'd rather have a safe "GTFO I want a Banana" move that does more % than D- or U-Throw.

What inguilt said regarding throws.



I've mixed some dthrows into my game a tiny bit now after watching AZ do it and getting some extra % out of it. Diddy's dthrow messes with people since not many people do it.

i like upthrow more only cuz ppl are ****ing stupid in the air...dthrow is decent as well just not as effective as upthrow imo...limit landing with nanas or positioning, reading airdodges or attacks or even aerial positioning...upthrow is beast

was i talking about luigi...who knows xD
