Tier List

[Count]

I've mained diddy since the first time I tried him. I played mario first cause I used doc in melee, realized he sucked, tried diddy kong, and never turned back. And never will.

This is OUR accomplishment, sure, some diddy kongs made more progress towards developing him than others, but everybody should feel proud.

Next up, falco.

 

[fource]

I mained Wolf at first but switched to Diddy after I saw Royal Nynja play; it was my first time seeing a Diddy play and I loved what he could do with the bananas.
When I picked him up he was easily the most fun character I'd ever played, you never stop moving and you can do so much. Diddy is just win.

5th tier seems about right to me. I started playing Diddy after seeing nanerz play him. The first time I seriously tried to play Diddy I realized he was just too much fun not to main.

 

[Coyn3Masta]

as soon as i got the game i picked metaknight, (i failed epicly). A few matches later i picked diddy...and so it began =P

 

[Coyn3Masta]

I think we all stuck with diddy as our mains because he is pretty much the funnest char to use, at least to me

 

[chimpact]

I played falco, fox, and diddy. After about a month, I mained diddy.

 

[zyzzx]

i wasn't expecting him to go up 2 spots... :o

i think hes a really good character, but are bananas really that bad? I know there are other good pros with him, but when will our opponents start actually figuring bananas out somewhat?

i think he'll eventually drop a couple and stay there.

but don't really care, diddy is awesome and fun to play, so thats what ima keep doing

oh and bring on the influx of diddy peoples! i want to play against banana happy players and out-banana them with a different character

 

[SRTM]

No, it's bad. More diddy ditto's
D:

 

[Coyn3Masta]

The more the merrier

 

[Conti]

I picked him up by randoming him in pools in an online tournament a week after brawl came out =)

My Friend used him for a while, but he used him bad... ("What is a glide toss").. but i always liked playing him... (and winning)
Then I picked him up after getting Anal R4p3d at Apex by ADHD and seeing how much diddy could really do... He's so much more fun then MK... i actually have to think with Diddy LOL... (MK i thought, but... everything was too easy)
The Combo's take like... skillz, Bannanas are just fun... occasional Dair Spikes and banna combos... idk i luv it

I think Diddy's potential is only gunna grow... who cares if people learn to Z catch... and return fire our bannana's...
We got our ways around it.... (i like rocket barrel cancle personally =])


(note i still use MK :] ... but only for matchups that my diddy cant handle... cuz im still not... good with him... hence why im here)

Random thought: I've determined barrel canceling unreliable and not worth doing. Thoughts?

 

[Conti]

Random thought: I've determined barrel canceling unreliable and not worth doing. Thoughts?

... U are sort of right... because well... its not very effective... If it goes the other direction u pretty much took damage for no reason...
but idk its like throwing Waddle Dee's with D3.... Is hitting someone with a Gordo worth it? [but then again, u could still hit em with waddles... ehh whatever bad analogy]

I just do it cuz, it does work... sometimes...
{i also throw in the, "idk" what to do factor... cuz i fail with diddy alot... }

 

[Coyn3Masta]

Random thought: I've determined barrel canceling unreliable and not worth doing. Thoughts?

depends, i use it every now and then and it it rewards me greatly.
ON THE OTHER HAND, i use shield bouncing more, its more reliable and effective.

just depends if you want to take a risk or not

I think it's mainly for show and to look pretty, which as we all know, is always nice.

^This = Win

Cancelling our Countering?

Canceling, imo, is when you jump onto a banana or dash onto it and UpB.

Countering is when you UpB to get hit and let the barrel do it's thing.

Countering is useful in certain spots and situations. Canceling I'll throw in if I have the time and a banana I don't own near me. It helps bombard and scare the crap outta people.

 

[GooseMainsDiddy]

It's useful if you don't abuse it.

 

[Xionix]

No, its not useful, its just unexpected.

 

[King Funk]

We all thought Falco would drop more than one spot, but I guess they judged it on potential. Falco is one of the only characters who goes even with MK and Snake and litterally destroys 2/3 of the cast. He doesn't have many bad matchups (G&W, Kirby, Ice Climbers, Pikachu, etc.). But based on absolutely lackluster tournament results, he should have dropped more, imo.

Congratz Diddyz, though. ^^

 

[Vyse]

Vyse could release the community combo video ^.^

As soon as I get my hard drive back, give me 1 day.

 

[Bellioes]

Warios pretty fun to play as too but of course, not as fun as Diddy
About the Barrel canceling thing, if your grabbed while charging, is the Barrel a guaranteed hit? That would really help me versus Olimar if that works lol

 

[TreK]

no, if you're grabbed the barrel just disapear and are not cancelled. I'd use it waay more if it did

 

[Bellioes]

Ok thanks. That would be awesome if it did though

F*** whatever tier Diddy is in. Most of us picked him up when he was a no name monkey that threw his lunch! Regardless of where he is we as a board are going to continue to progress his meta-game and that's the only thing that should really matter.

^^THIS^^ 1,000 THIS's lolz.


Who cares about the tier list anyways. Everyone knows it does not matter lolz.



-oos-

 

[boomshakalaka]

diddy is way to ****en baller, makin his way up
but i approve of his spot

 

[Kamikaze*]

I actually don't agree with it.
I think the last tier list was more accurate.
I'm one of the people that doesn't think Diddy should be really high.

Diddy makes half the cast afraid to approach him because a good diddy can do so much **** with them it's crazy.

Yeah, he deserves his spot

 

[TreK]

half ? you underestimate us dude 8D

 

[AlphaZealot]

Yea, at least 5/6ths of the cast can't approach Diddy. ROFL.

 

[ice_cream_man]

Haha az fell of his chair and was rolling on the floor laughing! Haha everybody point and laugh!

 

[btb]

im doin wat i can to move diddy up, adhd inspired me to practice a bunch and noticed how many things i do wrong. ill be there soon adhd
i also picked up diddy when the game 1st came out and couldnt wait to use him, then i thought he sucked, and tried yoshi(lol) then i seen pao0lkim highlight video and that was all the inspiration i needed.
pao0l, ninjalink, alphaz, and recently adhd all inspiring me

 

[TreK]

i main diddy since day 1 too, the dojo news said something like "you gotta try diddy if you want to figure out this weird character's fighting style"... so i tried. xD
i was disappointed he was mid tier at the beginning, that's why every single tier list make me happy/proud

 

[tocador]

Diddy mains UNITE!!!!!

That is what happens when I think of Sonic trying to approach Diddy.

 

[MdrnDayMercutio]

YI and Spinshot say Hi

But seriously... yeah that's pretty much true. It's amazing.

[Tero.]

Personally I feel like Diddy is better or at liest tied with Falco, but I joined the BR after the votes for Top Tier were allready made, so I wasn't able to contribute.

 

[mountain_tiger]

Personally, I think that Diddy Kong deserves his current position. Yes, his bananas are deadly if used right, but he's still pretty good without the bananas. The peanut gun can mess with some approaches, his attacks are fast, his air game is strong, he's a good edgeguarder, he has a nice grab game and one of the best dash attacks in Brawl. IMO, if he had more kill power and a less gimpable recovery he'd be as good as Snake (not quite MK level though).

 

[GooseMainsDiddy]

Peanuts do not mess with approaches. The only thing it is good for is free damage and edge guarding against a few characters.

 

[AlAxe]

Peanuts can mess with some approaches, they're just not very reliable.

Diddy's position is pretty acurate right now but I think he could rise even higher if people get good enough with him. There's pretty much endless potential with the amount of tricks he can do with bananas, peanuts, and other stuff. He'll probably never be as good as MK or Snake but I think he could definitely get up to 3rd place.
