Diddy Kong Appreciation Thread: From Dinky to Diddy, From the Jungle to the Brawl.

lol guys look what i noticed

DIDDY IS LEFT HANDED WOOT

Yeah, I noticed that a LOT of Nintendo characters are left handed...

 

[The Director]

Mario's and Samus's Final Smashes are just suped-up versions of their B attacks. I'm no hardcore Diddy fan and I don't see what the big deal is. At least his FS is better than DK's (which doesn't make sense).

DK's makes a lot of sense...aside from all the bongo games, DK's special attack in DK64 was the bongos too.

Mario and Samus at least look cool and don't heal your enemies! Also DK's did make sense, Nintendo is trying to make him look like a bongo playing dumb *** so we all saw it coming sadly.

Again, must I point out there's a good chance the Bongos came from DK 64?

 

[Sinn]

Possible, but the design for the bongos looks exactly like the Konga version. It even has the little start button nub in the front.

 

[Fawriel]

Oh my god.
I just realized what you guys are really about.


Kiddy dong!


You people make me sic!

Spoiler

i must be stopped

 

[Kentalish]

dude if u dont want people to eat peanuts dont hit them if u cant hit them u suck also 3% is alot man

Look at the bongos they aren't the ones from DK64 they're the ones from Konga.

Doesn't matter, it's the principal of the matter. Sakurai made Diddy's final smash worse than everyone else's FS.

 

[Kentalish]

dude i thikn samus's is way worse. sure its a whole new character but if u die do u stay as Zamus...


Im a hudge fan of all diddys moves so far there fing awsome explosions gallor.
WHOS WITH ME!!

 

[xianfeng]

We don't know how Zamus works yet, chances are she can turn back somehow as for Diddy we know for a fact that his FS heals enemies!

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

I don't know and don't care since I won't be using Samus. I'll be pwning with Metaknight!!!

 

[Fizlzo]

Diddy Kong Rules!!!

 

[kin3tic-c4jun-3]

This thread still exsists?

Kill yourselves already...

 

[xianfeng]

No. This thread should still exist because it's for a good character, you can take your whiny *****y trolly arse out of here.

Diddy Kong would be OK. But he would probably be a clone of DK, and Nintendo needs to get away from the clone stuff. lol

NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

 

[raphtmarqui]

I like DK's final smash...

 

[Tails for brawl]

yea me to i like the dums

 

[Ridley FTB!!!]

yeah its gonna look good but how does it damage?

 

[Dynamism]

By "beating" things
That wasn't a very funny joke

I'm stoke for the monkeys. fun fun fun!

 

[Kentalish]

I don't know what everyones complainging about Diddys FS its the best one... so what if its 2 specials in 1... Samuses and Marios are just buffed up... and dont give me that peanut garbage about healing your know food only heals like 3-5 % so why does it matter... if u cant hit anyone with a FS they deserve to be able to have the peanut.

who els likes Diddys FS

 

[Dynamism]

I don't like FS for anyone. Oh wait. Yeah I do o_O

I want Chimpy CHARGE!

 

[Kentalish]

i want cartwheel forward B

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I love your sig, Kentalicious. Diddy Kong looks like some little kid that's snorted one too many packs of Pixie sticks and is about bust some caps into people---with a pellet gun.

Lol.

And I'm hoping for a cartwheel forward B, too. It better not be a dash attack or I'll be sad.

Smooth Criminal

 

[xianfeng]

I despise his FS

 

[AuraLancer]

It looks better than Yoshi's.
But not by much.

 

[Kentalish]

Ohhh i cant wait to own all these diddy haters and diddy fs haters :}

 

[The Director]

You know there's going to be a tier list for Brawl...and to be completely honest, I see Diddy being somewhere toward the bottom...

No matter. I love the character, so I'm going to stick with him even if he's a bottom tier.

 

[Kentalish]

dude a dont think diddy is going to be bottem tier i meen if his **** explodes it meens its powerful... we dont even know all his attacks

 

[xianfeng]

I too see Nintendo making him bottom tier only because they like to **** up the Donkey Kong series (as proven by Jungle Beat and Donkey Konga)

 

[Dark Iori Yagami]

hahaha I hope diddy has some sweet moves that have not been revealed yet, I already have a bet with the little guy. (much at stake)
1. Reputation for low tier
2. My head band

 

[Kentalish]

well i dont listen to those tier things actually i just heard about them last month.. i dont care what tier he is ill still own you.... and its not nintendo making this game its Sora

 

[Dynamism]

I think Diddy will be one of the best characters in the game. He's not slow and doesn't lack finishers (which is what the media scene of smash base their tier list on) and he's going to be mobile with a variety of abilities (which is what the underground scene of smash base their tier list on). He has a decent projectile, he's not light, he's scambly which will probably be good for mindgames and he's aireal.

Diddy can't be bottom, that isn't even possible really.

 

[lanky_gunner]

And I'm hoping for a cartwheel forward B, too. It better not be a dash attack or I'll be sad.

Smooth Criminal

well, don't you think the Chimpy Charge would be better suited for his forward B? i mean it fits the criteria that most forward B moves have. and as far as i have played, Diddy seems to only use his cartwheel when he's attacking AFTER he's running, so it fits

I despise his FS

i'm with you there. i still think his FS should of been his guitar. i mean yes, the move is a homage to DK64, but the guitar was easily more powerful and was meant to knock out large groups of enemies, just like DK's bongos

I too see Nintendo making him bottom tier only because they like to **** up the Donkey Kong series (as proven by Jungle Beat and Donkey Konga)

dude, you gotta stop putting Nintendo down on this subject. i mean you gotta remember that Rare and Nintendo are two different companies that are set in two different countries. Nintendo is Japanese. Rare is British. they're going to have different ideas when it comes to games.

nevertheless, even if diddy is low tier or high tier, i'll still use him cause i love the little simian bas****

 

[Diddy Kong]

Well, Diddy can do the cartwheel while he's standing still aswell - it's just a lot shorter when he does. It could easly be his Forward B, but the Chimpy Charge would fit in nice aswell.

However, the Chimpy Charge could also be Diddy's Down B which'd be more original than the Simian Slam imo (even though I created the moveset ). The Guitar could also be the Down B move, so we'd still have it in the game.

But I think we're getting the cartwheel as Diddy's dash attack.

As for Diddy's tier placement, I don't think we can discuss this at the moment cause we haven't seen enough. We don't know the knockback of the moves, the amount of damage the moves give, lag, speed... ect. That's what makes a character good and it goes for every character we've seen so far. But the way I see Diddy is as a character who'd be similar to Young Link and Pikachu in Melee, except with a bit more strenght in his moves which'd make him quite the balanced character. Anyways, whatever tier Diddy's gonna be in - I'll still main him whatever it takes. Same goes for my good ol' Donkey Kong aswell.

 

[lanky_gunner]

if his guitar ends up being his down B, you don't know how happy i would be

 

[Kentalish]

his down b could be 3 moves actualluy orange nades chimpy charge the slam move and guitar... ok 4.... but what could guitar do as a down b i only could see it same as jiggs down b if your really close GG... as for carwheel as a dash attack would make me sad i barley see people use dash attacks... plus i donw want all his b moves to be chargable i meen that would be really gay like really really gay.

 

[lanky_gunner]

well you don't charge the chimpy charge. you initiate it and he charges it himself.

and his guitar can easily work similarly to Jigg's sleep, but the shockwaves can give off damage

 

[Kentalish]

inless cartwheel is a forawrd a whil standing but i would like it do be a special move because it jus t should be if you know what i meen

 

[Diddy Kong]

I deffinatly think we're seeing the Chimpy Charge in this game, since Sakurai is drawing so much for Diddy from DK64 -which pleases me btw- that it's almost impossible for him to not imply this move. I'm guessing Down B for this move, but that could also indeed be the Orange Grenate which I'm not extremly against but I'd rather not have people think of Diddy as "that irritating monkey who throws and shoots with exploding fruits" but having 2 different projectiles would make Diddy statistically a bit better competive so...

There's a lot of options for Diddy's B moves, but I'm more curious about his regular moves, smashes and aerials since that's mostly what the game's about. And how does Diddy move? How fast will be be? How exactly will his recovery work? And will his recovery not be the worst in the game? How heavy will Diddy be, how fast will he fall... Just thinking about these things really makes me hate the French, German, Spanish and Italian cause it's their fault for the PAL regions getting our games so late. >_<;

 

[Kentalish]

We already know diddy scrambles on the ground and had whimsical fighting moves. but your right... i dont thing we need all of his move to explode so that should take the nades out of the picture.
