The Old Diddy Social/General/Q&A Thread

[fource]

The doubles thread is under construction. Count, myself, and Pasta are/were working on it. We've been a little side tracked lately. The thread will cover Diddy's top ten partners in order from best to worst out of those ten. It will cover changes in match-up ratios in doubles. For instance, GW ***** Diddy in doubles, at least he should or the Marth match-up gets exponentially harder. Then we'll go on to talk about play-styles.

Diddy can hold stock amazingly well on doubles. His partner must be able to take stocks from the opposing team, something Diddy does not do well.

The 2 vs. 1 is one of the last things to worry about what makes a good team, it's getting to that 2 vs. 1 that makes a difference.

 

[ADHD]

Yeah turtle I should be.

 

[Teh Future]

tips vs wario?

 

[Gnes]

GAW doesnt **** diddy in doubles...quite the opposite actually.
Diddy stock tanks well considering in doubles most people dont have the spacing to defend against naner counters.

 

[AvaricePanda]

Yeah, Diddy does do surprisingly well with stock tanking in doubles. I essentially had 4 stocks each game, Count had 2.

...and I still died first >_>

Wario can kill really well for Diddy in doubles, he has his general kill moves and damaging moves like uair, and he can punish trips with Fsmashes, wafts, dairs. Even though he can't use the bananas that great, his aerial-ness evades the bananas really well; he doesn't get in Diddy's way.

 

[Dekar173]

Diddy + DK, need I say more?

 

[ADHD]

So... delfino is a good vs snake counterpick imo

 

[AvaricePanda]

yes, very.

I have bad luck running into Fsmashes on wi-fi on that stage lmao

The following is a matchup thread based off of tournament results. If you would like to contribute, please do as right now the list is relatively pathetic.

We've been just doing stuff without it pretty much lol. Just know bair is fast and regular throw is extremely fast XD

I think it's absolutely retarted that diddy can be grabbed out of a glide toss animation.

 

[Sushi3]

I have a noob question...

What button do you guys use to pick up a banana on the ground? I use A, but its tedious to shift my thumb back and forth between A, to pick up, and c-stick, to glide toss.

Also, what keeps bananas from falling into the wrong hands? Couldn't any other character use them just as well?

Thanks.

you can pick it up with different stuff... You can c stick down while running to dash attack it, if you're that addicted to the c-cstick lol

Also, what keeps bananas from falling into the wrong hands? Couldn't any other character use them just as well?

they could, but if your opponent can pick them, it means you messed up. btw, nothing stops you from taking them back.

 

[Kaiasian]

Also, R (Air dodge) is a great way to pick up a nana. I think you can jump, air dodge to pick up the nan, and then throw it with little lag, if memory serves me well.

Z-catching is better 9 times outta 10

 

[Count]

So, I've been putting stickers that I got off of bananas on my controller. Good idea?

I had a hard time telling it apart at my last tournament from the others, so I did this to distinguish.

Omg LOL I have a new siggy. I think it's an awesome idea xD

You can run towards a Banana that's on the ground, roll the control stick downwards as you pass over it, and press Z (Grab) right as you pass it to pick it up off the ground out of a run. It's quicker than a Dash Attack and doesn't commit you to the Dash Attack's lag or mandatory distance covered.

serious question...

ok i know i can play diddy well to his coolest potential at the current metagame but what makes me lose in tourney sets is the fact that i MUST be daredevilish and unsafe in the actions i perform to achieve that adrenaline hype/rush thus creating huge openings for mistakes and free punishes for the opponent. I know if i played safe i can win the match thing is...how do i prevent myself from going all out aggressive in those situations where i should be doing safe approachs, etc etc...its a very bad habit what are some methods of thinking clearly and not hyping myself up for epic aggression. :\

Play an Olimar main regularly

No, seriously, I'll edit in a better response after work. But it works for me O.o

 

[Vyse]

I am so so so close to finishing the combo video. 48 hours. Give me 48 hours from the time of this post and it will be done. That accounts for me being at work tomorrow, then being at home all day the next day.

Only 3 sections left to do

lol i have the same problem sometimes. Diddy is such a momentum player that I sometimes get ahead of myself and wind up going for a double D-air or something crazy off-stage when i can't even safely recover..

sounds a bit like autopiloting, the bane of all Diddy Kong players

my most common downfall

and i dspise playing my olimar main friend T_T he camps like a *****!!! i win against him when i play correctly how i should otherwise its a complete loss >_< thanks tho

 

[AvaricePanda]

Woo.

Working on a new single naner lock guide, there's a lot of potential with this, but Diddy's need to get off their lazy butts and actually practice it.

I can do the lock consistently, infinite not so much. I got lucky once and got to 108% on Lucario, but I normally have trouble with turning around and continuing it.

EDIT: Scratch that, I ****ed up with one of the sections because I overlooked Kaptain Kong

 

[BrianTheLion]

i have a question about being edguarded when u r hit while your charging your barrlels. umm wht can u do about the lag after being hit while in your up-b that will bring u back on the stage??? oh also can u get out of diddys f-smash by smashDIing the first hit or just get of of it any way??

well one of 3 things can happen.

1. you enter the glitch where when u are hit u get a momentum boost towards the stage or towards the blast zone.
2. you re-charge ur barrels again and hope for the best.
3. your dead o.o

and yes u can smash di out of fsmash, gotta be quick tho o.o

Holy crap I hate Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 right now.

I turn on the PC today to find all of the audio files don't work.

This is after I installed updates for Vista.

Grrrrr.

Look at the first post on this page. DFEAR already answered it.

I have a question!

How do you guys feel about the DK matchup? What kinds of things do you guys look out for?

 

[DFEAR]

count of donkey swings, his range (its really beast) and his Oos options...and how he jumps when hes trying to approach/edgeguard. just watch him .

 

[Coyn3Masta]

I have a question!

i look out for 2 things: his range, and his edgegaurding.

Well CS3 is working again. w00t.

1. Don't get hit off stage. Unless you're level with the ledge or you're up high when you get hit out of it, you're going down.

2. Yeah, you can smash DI Diddy's F-smash. Depending on how close (or far away) he is, you can smash DI to avoid the second hit. Mostly opponents should be able to DI the move correctly.

3. Don't double post and definitely don't triple post
