Many of us Diddy mains who aren't kings of Wi-Fi (lol Wyatt) don't often have people to play against. This is obviously problematic because Diddy requires an absurd amount of tech skill to be good, and one can get rusty very quickly if one hasn't played in a while. This is a list of things you can practice in Training mode when you don't have anyone else around to keep you on your game.
If you can think of anything else to practice, please post and I'll add it to the list.

- Glide Tossing
If you're really new to Diddy
. - Dribbling
Glide Toss Backwards (throw Banana down) > Pickup Banana quickly > Repeat
. - Banana Pulls
When you pull a Banana onstage, practice catching it with an Aerial (B-Air) or Instant Throwing it before it touches the ground.
. - Wall Infinite
Practice this against a computer on Walk (so that he'll roll away ASAP):
Have a Banana in hand and a Banana at your feet. When your opponent is against a wall, throw a Banana to trip him and then throw a second Banana before he can stand up. Then pick up the first Banana and throw it again, and then the second Banana and throw it again, all the while you are bouncing your opponent against the wall. There is a timing you have to learn in order to do it perfectly.
. - Double Banana Lock
Practice this against a computer on Walk (so that he'll roll away ASAP):
Have a Banana in hand and a Banana at your feet > Throw Banana (hit opponent) > Pickup Banana > Glide Toss Forward (throw Banana forward) > Pickup the first Banana again > Throw Banana > Pickup Banana > Glide Toss Forward > Repeat until edge
. - Picking up grounded Bananas with Aerials
Practice picking up Bananas with rising F-Airs and B-Airs (Aerial as soon as you jump). Also practice:
Glide Toss Backwards (throw Banana down) > Rising F-Air (picking up the Banana)
. - Dribble to Popgun
While this might not seem like it is hard or needs practice, you have to learn how to not turn around during the Glide Toss:
Glide Toss Backwards (throw Banana down) > Popgun
- Monkey Flip Kick Cancel
Learn how to use Side-B and IMMEDIATELY start the Kicking animation; you'll know if you've Kicked fast enough if you only hear a "Fwoosh" as Diddy flies through the air. This is important because if you manage to do this, you can Airdodge or Jump before you hit the ground. By Jumping, you can chase your foe, and by Airdodging you suffer no lag as you hit the ground. Practice this:
Monkey Flip > QUICKLY Kick > Airdodge right before you land > Monkey Flip AGAIN, in the opposite direction > QUICKLY Kick > Repeat
. - Pivot Dribbling
Glide Toss Forwards (throw Banana down) > Buffer a Turnaround > Pickup Banana quickly > Dribble some more
. - Aerials with a Banana in hand
Jump > At the apex of the jump, Z-Drop > Aerial (you'll pick the Banana back up)
. - Wavebounce B-Reverse Popgun Canceling
While you're in the air and moving sideways, press B to start a Popgun and then VERY QUICKLY smash the control stick in the opposite direction you're moving and hold Shield. You'll face the opposite way and reverse your momentum in mid-air.
. - Instant Throwing
When you are in the air and a Banana is within Z-Grabbing distance, press Shield and a direction on the C-Stick at the same time to pickup and throw the Banana in very few frames.
. - Double Banana Pulls
- Full Hop a non-smash Banana pull, jump and pull another Banana, and Z-Catch the first on your way down.
. - Full Hop off the side of the stage, pull two Bananas, and Instant Throw the second Banana as you jump back onstage.
- Full Hop a non-smash Banana pull, jump and pull another Banana, and Z-Catch the first on your way down.
- Double Drops
Short Hop above Opponent > Throw Banana downwards > Instant Throw the Banana that bounces off your foe down, hitting the opponent again
. - BDACUS
This takes ridiculous timing and practice, so don't fret if you're not getting it the first few tries.
During a Buffer Window (10 frames at the end of any animation, particularly in this case a D-Tilt or Dribble) > Forward on Control Stick [> Neutral] > Up on C-Stick [> Neutral] > Up on C-Stick
. - Instant Wall Jump
You have to be really, really fast to do this consistently:
Hanging on a Ledge > Drop from the Ledge holding Down > QUICKLY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY Quarter-turn your Control Stick towards the stage while pressing Jump > B-Air/F-Air/Side-B/Whatever
. - Single Banana Lock*
Short Hop above Opponent > Throw Banana downwards > Use D-Air to catch the Banana and instantly Fast Fall > Jump quickly and repeat, following the direction the opponent is bounced by the Banana
*NOTE: Try practicing the SNL on short characters first (Meta Knight), then tall characters (Snake), then fat characters (Dedede); if you can do it against all three types, you should be able to SNL everyone.

I'm going to keep this thread less organized than my others until the list gets larger. Consider this v0.1
but Pivot Dribbling isn't hard D:
