A diddy playing his cards right can make it ridiculously awkward for a DK to approach.

It's not even in the least.

Diddy can make it nearly impossible for DK to hit him, unless if the DK is actually instant throwing naners back at Diddy, even then Diddy has a ridiculous amount of openings created from how long it takes DK's throw animation and how big he is.

so apparently in the BBR they say diddy is the 2nd best character in game and only loses to marth, peach, luigi and mk.
ally also thinks that snake has a disadv. against diddy wtf is up with that. m2k thinks its even.

Well... my opinion on those match ups (without getting really into them):

Marth - Close to even. A little in Marth's advantage.
Peach - No clue, never played one.
Luigi - We lose, but not terribly. It's winnable, but definitely in Luigi's advantage.
MK - I guess I'm bad at the match up, because I feel like it's worse than most people. 40:60 MK at the very best. Probably worse.
Snake - I think it's even. Yup.

I think Diddy is at best third. I feel like Diddy should be fourth, but then I don't know who's third, haha. So with that in mind, I put Diddy third.

But I also feel that in the future, Diddy could easily drop. There are so many people who don't know how to handle bananas, it's ridiculous. The different between playing an MK who can instant-throw reliably and an MK who can't is huge (as it is with almost any character).

No way diddy's second : he's first of course è_é

Pride away, we have several bad stages and bad matchups, which isn't MK's or Snake's case, and it seems it's not specific to France, most people have no clue about how to play with nanas yet...

Im pretty sure we all know it should be
mk
snake
diddy

Not that diddy doesnt have potential to get higher than the 3rd its just that through the matchup and stage issues we have its a considerable amount harder. I cant see diddy as second best until some more time passes but right now the snakes have it...so much easier.

Your future tier list:
MK
Snake
Falco
Diddy
IC

And I really can't see Diddy having the edge over Snake. He's too heavy and racks up damage way too quick. IMO, 55:45 Snake, if not more.

Where do you have this info from? And what do they mean with "loses to"? I guess 45:55 is still losing.

I don't get why people think Peach beats Diddy...

hey i cant see the peach matchup being in diddy's favor at all. its not some impossible matchup or anything but we usually have to change our playstyle a decent amount while the peach barely has to adapt at all. if the peach is dumb enough to be on the ground for us to do stuff, then that persons just playing the matchup wrong. as long as the peach is even a little bit smart and is careful where they are auto floating, its obviously a matchup in their favor.

Luckily for us Peach has a worse time killing then we Diddy's do.

Also after about 50-60ish percent theyre usually done "comboing" and they struggle to do that much else. which is sort of the same for Diddy but we have bananas to rack up more damage later. its just not as effective against peach.

Point is its a matchup thats definetly easier for peach than diddy. aaand this has been known for quite some time lol.

As long as you're not DIing up the jab, Diddy can powershield the upB.
DI it away+down, or jut don't be within jab range anyway because you're supposed to camp luigi.

I wouldn't aim timing out a Luigi, because anyone can lose a lead in a couple seconds against him :V

Hey guys, there's a little argument between me and a friend. If you doubled the animation speed of diddy's glidetoss, would he be able to naner lock infinite? I just don't believe you could get to the other side of the opponent fast enough, even with double the animation speed. I mean, it's a pretty small animation.

Balancing purposes.

We're trying to figure out what to do with Diddy Kong in Brawl-. With Diddy, we're running into the same problem we had with Marth. The character, when placed in a sitch with faster physics and more histstun, is pretty much perfect. But we can't just slap the usual damage/knockback upgrades on it and say "done"; that's just... wrong. So I dunno. (For marth, we just said "**** it" and replaced him with roy) (or rather, we're voting on that measure).
