When cg'ed, apparently if you time R+A, you will drop the banana. Also, outside of running > pivot > dsmash or canceling your run by dropping below a platform and canceling it with a dsmash, I don't know how to running dsmash.

If you do the beginning of a foxtrot, if you wait you can do a dsmash right afterwards. Furthermore, if you wait for the dash to end, begin another trot in the same direction and immediately change to the other direction, you can instantly change directions from a run into a run. Within that change in direction, you can do an attack.

Luigi player, I don't mind at all, I just found it amusing :) Thanks for doing the translation, because I never could have done it myself!

So, so far I'm DACUSing once out of every thirty tries, roughly. I always end up doing a standing Up-Smash or a Hyphen Smash instead of starting a Dash Attack (I'm pressing the C-Stick up twice). Am I just buffering too early/late? How long do you have to buffer attacks out of an animation (spotdodge, in my case)?

I'm just buffering the direction+c-stick up twice. I seem to get it whenever I need to in a match, but never when I try just for lols. It's easier with Falco, because you can do it out of SHDL and sort of time it by relating how low your second laser is to when you should buffer it or whatever.

Does it really have to be wit the c-stick only? I have Z-attack on for Dacus with Sheik but cant do this with Diddy. So should i assume it HAS to be with the c-stick?

youi mean DACG


which you can do. Doc could do it in melee to make his dash attack noise while grabbing, Sheik can extend her grab range, snake can extend his grab range, MK can extend his grab range, etc., etc.

I'm loving Diddy's DACUS... it is so easy to do! If you're still having problems doing it, practice this:

Glide Toss Backward, throw Banana Down --DURING SLIDING ANIMATION--> Press Forward on Analog Stick > Up on C-Stick > Up on C-Stick --END SLIDING ANIMATION--> You should have just DACUSed forward and picked up your Banana while sliding.

If you can get that down, doing the DACUS on command is a piece of cake.

I am buffering it out of something, be it a spot-dodge or the sliding animation during a Dribble.

EDIT: For shiggles, I made a video showing the hitbubbles of Diddy's BDACUS (for anyone who might care):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mtus8IAOR08

I also demonstrated performing the BDACUS out of a Dribble and a Popgun, both uses that I believe we could find useful.

uhh I'm not sure if I'm doing the whole D-smash out of run thing right or if this is even new, but when you run and do the turning-around-in-run animation (the one that OS was doing in place in the video) and turn around like you would, you can do a crouch-cancelled D-tilt/D-smash/maybe something else and slide a somewhat considerable distance.

I was just messing around in the wi-fi waiting room, I'm not even sure if this is new at all lol.

You shouldn't slide at all.

Not really slide...well I seem to slide a little when I D-tilt, but there's a boost of momentum because of running before you do D-smash/D-tilt so it's a pseudo-slide before the attack, I guess.

Hey Diddy Boards.

How long does it take for a banana to despawn?

Assuming Diddy does not pick it up after it spawned.

Hey there, how do you do a pivot forward dribble? I found it somewhere, but can't seem to do it.

Yet another form of Dribbling, a Pivot Dribble allows you to pick up your Banana even after Glide Tossing forwards.

To quote Le_THieN's thread Underused Technique: Pivot Dribbling:

Of course, with the newfound versatility of pivoting constantly bringing new things to the table in Brawl, in turns out that you can indeed pick up the banana immediately after a forward dribble by buffering a change of direction to turn around and face your banana and hitting the A-button to pick it up. To break it down, it works like this:

  • glide-toss forward
  • push down on the C-stick to throw the banana at the ground
  • as you're moving forward, buffer/hold the opposite direction
  • push the A-button
The timing is not as fast as the reverse single dribble; there's a slight delay. There's a very small window of time for you to actually grab the banana right before you slide outside of its range. It's also not very forgiving and requires a pretty precise input of the A-button. Once you figure out the timing though, you can pretty much develop a rhythm to dribble back and forth on a single banana.

So guys, I can't do ****ing anything against Lucario. Seriously, I've had one knock me out of tournaments twice in a row. What do you do to punish a Lucario spamming Aura Sphere from the opposite side of Smashville, who is unusually skilled at picking up Bananas thrown at him out of the air, and who simply back-rolls away from you if you get near? I couldn't touch the ****er >:(

Trap the lucario with bananas and peanuts. Like use one banana to stop him from rolling if he does, so he doesnt roll a lot. if he does roll to that banana, he'll probably roll away from you again so predict that and dash grab him.

aurasphere is easy unless he is at a high % and you're off stage, then you're kinda screwed.
