What your referring to is called ledge hopping, and it's just as punishable as using a getting up animation. Whenever someone's on the ledge it becomes a mindgame of how they're going to get back on stage and if the other player can predict it, thus punishing it. Soooo... you can now use the...

I don't believe that fast falling would save you from this. The dair happens almost immediately after passing the edge, and i think the footstool happens before they regain control of the character from the spike.

This is a gross underestimation of diddy's moveset outside of his bananas. You can do very well without ever using them on stage. He's got good speed, good priority, a great zoning f-tilt, good grabs, good running attack, good options for kills, and 3 spikes. I would say he at least makes mid...

Unfortunately, you pretty much have to somewhat autopilot and commit to at least the dair with this approach before you can register wether or not they even sweetspotted the ledge, but it's not that big a deal since you're only just below the edge with an air jump, a monkey flip, and your rocket...

Not quite that far with diddy

I was saying without the footstool, it would be recoverable. I was responding to alphazealot who seemed to be saying that the footstool was just extra flavor but unnecessary.

Don't have any numbers but has anyone considered getting smacked by D3's up-b?

Well at the necessary low percents, isn't it recoverable without the footstool (assuming the character has some decent vertical recovery)?

lol... WHAT?! YOU told him the the thread was discontinued (of which he disagrees), so you in fact cannot ask him the same question. He said he's posting in it because it's not discontinued, and you said it answered his own question...? BUT YOU SAID IT WAS!... so it doesn't answer his...

Just thought of this, don't know if it will work but would rocket barrels be viable instead of the footstool? It would spike them a second time once you're lower and get you back to the edge. Not by a wii right now so I can't try it out, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Yes, if this is in a tournament setting you should be counter picking stages with platforms (although the diddy player will most likely have banned battlefield)

Exactly, just like with two melee characters you only need to: -hit -not get hit -kill It's just that simple XD

Of course, they're being hit by a projectile. It's on the level of the peanut gun though, interrupting aerials and movement slightly. It leaves you nowhere near as open as the slip animation on the ground.

A good diddy can still give falco a really hard time. Basically, learn the naners game. Make it hard for him to pull out bananas. When he already has some out, spot dodge only if the banana is being thrown from close range and will go past you. If you shield it, roll away before it lands...

Great work, must have taken a lot of time, but to be honest, it's not enough to base conclusions on. If you understand probability, when you have a 1% chance of something happening, measuring how long it takes for it to happen 30 times on 35 different characters is not enough to base a...
