If ur friend plucks one banana at a time, then he won't have as many issues. You should upgrade to that second banana later when you know you are safe.
I believe B throw has more kill potential but F throw does more damage.
Don't pull out Bananas while being laser spammed; try to get a Grab in and pull some out after a F- or B-Throw.
Oh, I know what you're talking about; I kept doing it when I was trying to demonstrate the Dash Attack > Reverse Boosted Pivot Grab. I honestly don't know how to do it consistently; I always did it when I just messed up a RBPG.
I've had an argument with someone about this before, and I'm 90% certain F-Throw is better in both cases.
It's really close to call (so close that move decay and the weight of the character may change it) but the bthrow actually does have the potential to kill at lower percents than the fthrow. Either way the earliest you'll get a kill with bthrow is around 180 under normal conditions so it is very rare to get either as is. But yeah, it's been tested. The precise stats for each throw are in the Diddy Kong Guide thread.
LOL I'm going to win back that 2-1 you gave me last time. I will beat you.
. That and the fact that some them still think that Olimar sucks, but that's irrelevant. Basically, how did it feel to press down B for the first time?
Weren't you asking about the pivot grab where you stop completely while you turn around out of a run? I was saying that while I was practicing the button presses for a RBPG I would occasionally do that, that I'd get the Dash > Stop > Pivot Grab combination that I thought you were talking about. I don't know how to do that reliably, but I did want to affirm that it's possible. Unless you're talking about something else, in which case 'tis my mistake.
i tried it in practice mode, and i found out that its probably the timing of the pivot grab inputs that makes it slide sometimes, and stop other times.
1. Partner with another Diddy main
A REALLY good option if you're planning on using diddy in a doubles match is to play with a camper. They can sit back and camp the crap out of the other team while you take it to them with your bananas. That way you don't have to worry about hitting your partner with bananas because they should never be close to you if they're camping correctly. My personal favorite combo is falco and diddy. Just have Falco short hop double laser over Diddy's head which stops a lot of aerial approaches and Diddy's bananas and pretty good ground speed will help stop ground approaches. With a lot of practice it will make your opponents extremely frustrated which leads to them making mistakes and then easy kills.
Itz all personal preference. Simply whoever you feel comfortable with is basically who you should make ur secondary.
iDeo, choosing a secondary isn't about who you feel comfortable with. The point of choosing a secondary is to counter your main's weak match-ups. Your main should be decided by preference but your secondaries should be chosen logically. Most of the time, people pick up a secondary and don't like it at first, therefore, they quit and regret it later. The smart people pick up a secondary and adjust their playstyle to fit the new character also. These people benefit in the long run.
