Diddy's B.O.A.T. (Buffered Out of a Throw, aka BOAT) Combo describes one of
two very simple combos. I will refer to them as Type 1 and Type 2, and they are:
Type 1
F-Throw > Buffered Dash Attack
Type 2
F-Throw > BDACUS
The two types of the BOAT combo will only work on certain characters and at low percents.

-= Who does it work on? =-
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The BOAT combo will only work on characters that are not sent very far by the F-Throw.
The following is a list of the characters that Type 1 works on:
Guaranteed to work:
Marth
Peach
Pit
Donkey Kong
Fox
Sonic
Link
Ganondorf
Can DI+Airdodge, but works if you can bait the Airdodges:
Wario
Pikachu
Lucario
R.O.B.
Sheik
Luigi
Squirtle
Ivysaur
Bowser
Ike
Yoshi
Samus
Zelda
Captain Falcon
Does NOT work (thrown too far away/at a bad angle):
Meta Knight ()
Snake
Diddy Kong
Falco
King Dedede (??)
Olimar
Toon Link
Kirby
Mr. Game and Watch
Charizard
Wolf
Mario
Ness
Lucas
Jigglypuff
Did not test/can't tell:
Ice Climbers
Zero Suit Samus

The following are the "combos" that are possible by using the two types of the BOAT combo.
Type 2: Diddy's "Banana B.O.A.T. Combo"
Glide Toss > Grab > Pummel (optional) > F-Throw > BDACUS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmQDt7DNBU8
30% Damage and you have a Banana in hand when it's done
This combo is the culmination of what I've been testing so far involving buffering.
This combo can be done at almost any percent, and its use differs based on how much damage the
opponent has. I'll split it up into two groups: low percent and high percent.
Low Percent: This move tacks on extra damage from the BDACUS after the F-Throw. Certain
characters might be thrown too high up for the BDACUS to hit all three times, but you'll still have
a Banana in hand and you'll be in a safe position.
High Percent: This technique allows you to chase an opponent after F-Throwing them with a
Banana in hand AND by utilizing Diddy's fastest form of horizontal movement.
Obviously this technique is best used when throwing the opponent from one side of the stage to
the other. Also note that Marth's Up-B can interrupt your BDACUS if timed well.
Type 1: B.O.A.T. > F-Air
F-Throw > BUFFERED Dash Attack > F-Air
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVjfTtnmK2U
0% to 30% on characters listed below
This one I came up with on accident when I messed up trying to record F-Throw > BDACUS.
After testing this a lot, I've come to the conclusion that this works on the characters listed above at
low percents. The weight of the character does not matter; it's how far they are thrown by the
F-Throw and at what angle. See the list above for the characters it works on.
Type 1: B.O.A.T. 0%-to-Death on Fox
F-Throw > BUFFERED Dash Attack > F-Air > Footstool
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2j46te338w
POSSIBLE 0% to Death on Fox
This combo is, admittedly, very escapable, and will likely only work once if at all. If it works, however,
this is a zero to death combo (on Fox). I haven't tested this with other characters.
Type 1: B.O.A.T. > D-Air
F-Throw > BUFFERED Dash Attack > D-Air
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUJkNhhKriU
28% Fresh and Spikes
This is simply the B.O.A.T. combo with D-Air instead of F-Air. It does a little less damage and isn't as
guaranteed, but it can obviously spike if you get your opponent off the edge.
Type 1: B.O.A.T. to PSNL Setup
F-Throw > BUFFERED Dash Attack > Footstool (> PSNL)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgHV92i3lEg
PSNL setup on characters listed above
This combo is really just the start of a much longer, much more humiliating combo: the PSNL. At the
time of recording, I wasn't proficient enough with it to have it be part of the video, but the idea is to
follow this up with a PSNL; I hope you can see it.
