It sucks. It is the only one of his move I hate.

I like how you think outside the box. The peanut gun isn't suppose to be a powerful, knockout move, but one to get some slight damage and use for mind games.It's quick damage if you spam it enough. There's really no punishment for spamming it every now and then. Against characters like Lucas it can actually prevent him from using PK Fire as it will cause him to flinch which will give you an opportunity to dash attack him or toss a banana at him.
Most players will shield when they see a peanut flying at them as well, even if the damage is minimal. This occasionally opens an opportunity to throw them.
The biggest issue with the peanut popgun is that people seem to think that it should be able to more then it does. It really is just another projectile which you can use to properly space you and your opponent. Have a banana that landed right in front of someone but didn't hit them? Fire a peanut at them, maybe they'll be stupid and roll dodge the peanut tripping over the banana. It happens.
yea, gimping people's recoveries might be one of its best uses.I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned on this thread....
One of the biggest advanages to the peanuts is it's ability to manipulate your foe's movement in the air. They may shrug off the peanuts as weak, no knockback projectiles. However, these little nuts can eat jumps with ease, leaving an opponent with limited options on recovery.
Also, spamming the peanuts, as stated before, is a good thing when taking on a charging opponent. It can interrupt moves, giving you a small frame of opportunity to counterattack. Suggestion? Grab and throw them away from you.
Finally, when spamming peanuts to interrupt moves, you may not interrupt their move if they time the attack right. However, they WILL grab the peanut out of the air, leaving their moves limited to either throwing the peanut or using a B move. When opponents don't realize what they have, they'll still attempt to execute their move normally, only to be surprised that they threw a peanut instead! Opportunity? Oh yeah.
Peanuts are underrated. However, they shouldn't be the top of Diddy's game, IMO.
QFT. Pretty much sums up the topic.Peanuts are underrated. However, they shouldn't be the top of Diddy's game, IMO.
Just remember that how far you get pushed back is based on how charged up it is.Mind games
If you use it in the air it completely stops you forward momentum and knocks you back a tiny bit, plus makes their approach a little predictable cus they either go under it or over it if they don't want to get hit. Then the peanuts that come out are a nice little touch too.
I always shoot uncharged ones becuase theyre fast and it floats in the air for a longer time than any other charged onesJust remember that how far you get pushed back is based on how charged up it is.
wtfI fired a peanut then caught it with a dash attack today.
