So, do you like the new ruleset, hate it, or fall somewhere in between? No matter your position, this thread is all about discussing the new ruleset and how it changes Diddy's meta.

diddy does fine on luigis, ps2, and ptad
keyword: does fine.
other characters are BROKEN on some of those stages. doesnt matter tho as long as mlg/florida keep their rules it will be decent >_>
1. Luigi's means we have to waste a ban vs. Olimar or Meta Knight; we do NOT do fine in this situation
2. We can't ban Brinstar anymore thanks to needing to ban Norfair in most other match-ups
3. Diddy sucks on Distant Planet, and I'm sure it's good for other character who will start taking us there after we ban Norfair
4. We do less-than-stellar on both Green Greens and Jungle Japes, stages where other characters really excel.
5. If someone has a pocket MK (read: everyone), all they have to do is take us to one of the stages we couldn't ban, switch to MK, and royally butt**** us. They could do this before, but now that there are so many bad stages for us, I can see it happening more and more.
6. We may do "fine" on Luigi's, PS2, and PTAD, but other characters can **** on those stages, allowing for an even tougher decision when banning stages.
I seriously think Diddy will drop a lot with this new ruleset if TOs actually follow it.
And the new starter stage list almost 100% guarantees we won't start on FD ever, and will probably end up having to play Yoshi's or Lylat. I'm not saying those are bad stages for us, but they're great for other characters.
