I'm pretty sure diddy has more cool attacks, but DK seems all-around better, especialy his final smash, which needs to be preformed corectly for it to work great

I'm not maining him but he is my 2nd favorite character behind Pokemon Trainer >_> Duh, Diddy is waay better than DK in many ways. Coolness for the first part. Again..that's my opinion.

diddy is on my short list of characters to try to main.

i plan on choosing about 3 or 4 to play with on rotation for the first 2 months or so until I get a hang of the physics.

DK, by the way, isn't anywhere near my top list.

I'm maining Diddy, the real problem i see wit Diddy is that he has no K.O. potential. The best usage of Diddy is by a player named edd... I think its crazy but both matches where he fights snake.. he has to beat his *** to the near 200% just to K.O. him. Dk is way more balanced just on the fact that he moves at a good speed and can actually kill people.

I'm sure once i get a hold of this game we all will find good ways to kill enemies wit him... I'm just a little worried cuz all the Diddy vids i watched its always the same outcome. Diddy can dish out the damage but ends up getting screwed over cuz the opponent wont die. I haven't seen a single vid that he won.

I will main the Kongs.

I pray for Lanky in SSB4.

Okay, that's more of a pipe dream than Master Chief!
Im with you brotha, chunkey and lankey are two of the best charcters, EVER
plus they would have a totaly origanal moveset (who could they possibly clone?)
but at least we get a lankey trophy (maybe chunkey too i hope)

Don't forget that snake is also really heavy. I think he's heavier than Ike.

Diddy is a combo machine with projectiles that add elements to matches that most aren't used too. Just that element of uncertainty when fighting him will make him a first choice for many players in the smash community. I don't know about any of that "top tier" stuff I've been hearing but he's definetely a solid character.

from all the videos i've seen, diddy looks like a better overall character, faster obviously, suprisingly strong, good combo ability, i love DK too, but diddy looks sick.

diddy is >>>> than donkey kong...big dk is way too slow...improved...but useless without the l cancel from melee
DK has one of the fastest dashes and all characters took a hit from the lack of L-cancelling.

Although I'll admit diddy will probaly be higher tier then Donkey.

Diddy > Dk. Why? Diddy is just better, and cooler like that.

Harder Better Faster Stronger (ok, maybe not the stronger part...lol)

I've never been a big fan of Donkey old boy, but always loved Diddy. I was really excited when I heard he was going to be in Brawl, and will likely become my main. He looks so much fun to play as...

Seriously, you guys talk about Diddy's "Combo potential" & Awesome "Projectile game".

NEWS FLASH- that awesome combo is the same stupid S*** Shiek was doing in Melee. Your projectile gives you what... oh yeah. RunnigA, Fair combo. LOLZ @ scrub shieks.

does diddy wear a tie? NO, D.K. does; you know why? its because its d.k.'s job to kick *** in this game. even d.k.'s dash attack is him kicking your *** when he hits you, what's diddy's, a cartwheel thing? can you say HOMOSEXUAL

When given the choice right now (while not having the game in my hands), I will always choose DK over Diddy. I played DK primarily in Melee, in part because I like him as a character, in part because he suits my playstyle. Thusly, for Brawl, DK's already in a starting position. If I get into a situation where I want to win early in the game, I'm picking up DK.

Don't get me wrong, I like Diddy well enough, I may even play as him for awhile, but I doubt he'll wind up my main. I prefer heavier characters without projectile reliance. Diddy satisfies niether of these, as he's light and has not one, but two projectiles to concern himself with. If I want a faster character with less killing power, I'd go for Sonic.

Thus, as it stands now. If I do pick up Diddy alot, I'll be maining DK and second Diddy. Unless something becomes of this 'Forbidden 7' mess, because then I'll likely be maining Dk and second Dixie.
