Certain characters are fast enough to get out of it with their silly instant/near instant moves. Canceling the jab doesn't always work. A few characters can get in an attack in between the second jab and the move you cancel into. Some characters are just too fast, or have instant/near instant attacks. Good players are going to know about Link's jab cancel and abuse that gap if they have a quick move. Certain characters it's easier to pull off on. Namely the other Kong....jab cancel is fantastic against everybody lol
I'm very accustomed to this match up, and 4:6 is as low as I'd go. Link has a few decent strategies to control the match.The match up isn't 5:5 <_< it's AT LEAST 4:6 in Diddy's favour..
Catching with the DAC and the Dash really make the fight much easier. I spent 10 minutes practicing DAC catching and the DAC with Banana in hand-->Fsmash. While I agree that throwing his bananas back at him doesn't guarentee a win and can infact screw you over, you need to know when his bananas would help you to gain an advantage or would screw you.Seriously, Banana's just ruining your DAC approach..
I haven't seen enough people effectively catching the banana's consistently, and it's a risk that might help Diddy gain more control of the match.
The only ways I've seen people beating Diddy's that know what they are doing is to keep pressuring him and keep him in the air.
Diddy Kong's can do scary things with Glidetossing, God knows I've seen that.Good Diddy's use Glidetossing. A LOT. The only way to beat that are SPACED PROJECTILES. You have to space yourself so you don't get hit by the banana, or anything Diddy will do after. Platforms help so much with this. Use low boomerangs and bombs. You won't get as much control with arrows in this match up unless you can edgeguard with it.

Just to let you know, Homework is D3 reading material I'm going to snipe from their forums. Things like their resource threads and chain throw guides.homework -spacing, if you have good spacing this battle will not be a problem.
ah, ok lolJust to let you know, Homework is D3 reading material I'm going to snipe from their forums. Things like their resource threads and chain throw guides.
that is the exact opposite of what you want to do, and that kirby is terrible, sorrywhen I vs a kirby, I stay near a edge, kirby usually spams or atleast uses his down special move, I roll so faceing towards edge of stage, throw boomarang cant hurt him but pushes him off the stage, falling to fast to reccover. This happens almost every match I play when vsing Kirby
I stopped reading right there.Jab cancel = OMG RAPAGE>
1. ^ That'd be sick.This thread should show vids of Links fighting the characters discussed and should also include combos or chained attacks that work well against them.
ik right? if there has to be one time that i disagree with deva, its on this match up lol....Get Deva in here. "kirby is easy" lol
Ya seriously. That's sum serious WTF.Get Deva in here. "kirby is easy" lol
thats because i've been repping the skull kid for 2+ years on everything (steam, xfire, youtube, SWF, AiB, other forums, etc) lol, if theres a universal poll about it then i'll change backYa seriously. That's sum serious WTF.
