Exactly. *Goes to add*

Also CHOMPY, unless it was a major Wifi tournament win, I don't really want to add it. I'll check out your vid soon enough though.

*double post, please don't kill me*

Okay, I've done some MAJOR renovations on the thread. So I need to know what you guys think.
Also, I'm very open to additions to the thread.

@CHOMPY: I think I'll add your video anyhow. Later when I'm not so tired *yawn*

I think I'll make a section for a general video dump.
So dump away people!

Here's more lousy vids of me. I look better than I did in the first vid I posted earlier, which is also the third one posted here. I had to put the same vid up again because somebody h4xed my account and killed it. So yeah, put on the front page if you want some lousy play and critique is appreciated..The first toon link vid shown here I start out poorly but then get to playing a bit better. Thanks for the help.

The ****?

It does too.

*Sigh*

Looks like something is wrong here. Tonight I'm going to check all of the links to make sure they go to the right places.


EDIT:
Okay, I fixed a couple of links that went to random places : /


EDIT:

Okay, I've started a somewhat modest section for Diddy Kong players to dump their videos.

If anyone, and I mean anyone, wishes to contribute their own videos (Regardless of quality) to this thread, by all means post them.

The first link of my vids is old, somebody hacked my account and deleted it lol so i had to put it up again. Thanks for putting my lousy vids up.

I'll make this post more worthwhile by complementing you vyse. This thread and other work you've done is just as important as any work the other well-known diddy players have done.

Hey Vyse wasup. I just noticed that you put up my ADS thread in here kool. You should give my vids their own section just like Nanerz, AZ, NinjaLink, and Paool, my vids are too good and will help out new players in that match up, because mine are the only ones vs a Dedede. They will probably get lost in the flood of vids that are gonna be posted up, but yea I guess its up to your discretion. Thanks anyway :)

here is an older vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh4h232vji0 only like a month old but i have changed alot since then.

Whether or not you're lousy is entirely subjective :)
I'll keep adding vids as long as you're willing to supply them. Everybody should have their chance to showcase their videos if they've got the courage to have their vids posted and take whatever criticism people are going to give them.

I appreciate your kind words too :p
I feel like this community has given me so much, and that it's only right I give something back.

Thanks man, I appreciate it :bee:
I'll add in your vids.

K, I'll add them in.

oh gawd its gonna flood with vids now...
...But...

Vyse will just update the first post with the good videos worth watching
This is not entirely true. I'll add everyone's videos, but I'll try to emphasise which videos are exemplifying the best players.

What I might do, is order the videos into matchups against certain characters.

Also, if you could all use the format GameDragonX used for sets of matches, and the format I did for single matches from now on, I'd really appreciate it

Hey Vyse can you please remove my first to vids that you put up, they were vs Chops Snake. I dont like those because they were old practice matches and I did horrible in them LoLz. You can replace them with these newer vids. Thanks again.

wow, advent, your banana game is great, and that banana edgeguarding technique was sick.

I just don't know what to do if my opponent catches my banana, if they do catch my bananas, I don't know what approach to make.

Thanks, I just picked up Brawl and Diddy a few weeks ago. But yea you shouldn't feel like an insect, you should make your opponents feel like insects, and them squash them LoLz.

Thanks man, yea I try to be as creative as possible. I have a lot of techs/strategies that I didnt do in those vids (mainly becuz the vids are old) but you should check them out. There all in my thead right here ----> http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=190686

I think this video dump is a great idea, becuz now everyone can learn from each other. Like me and GDX says we can all learn different tactics that we would have never thought of and only grow better as a community. This is a key way into not only unlocking our potentials but spreading our knowledge as players. It all benefits us.
:) (I sound like a Diddy Rights Activist LoLz)

Have you got the links for the Dedede vids?

I read over the guide, yet I saw nothing having to do with the fact Diddy can capture and then use the Peanuts shot out of the Popgun. May not be too useful seeing as it's only a peanut, but it's good to know he has a second choice for items.

Ah that's a good point, but I think that's what Fatalities' guide is for.
Also, I've updated the OP with some new entries.

I guess in a few days I'll add more videos to the OP.

"Well just to get some of the pre-johning through... these vids are old so i use more tilts, forward b, dribbling, etc... bad quality because mac dazzles are 100 bucks. lastly sorry about percents being cut off. couldn't figure out why imovie did that." So... please rate me other than saying to use dribbling, air chasing, forward b, and tilts... because i do them now. The time on my wii is off so it says it's pretty close to now but it's actually pretty old. say a month about?

I'll try to get up some better newer ones of me... but that might be a while. Water polo + girlfriend + honors classes = not very much brawl

ey ninjalink. didnt you play against seibrik at CH4? or, the random FL dedede...i think he entered as snakekiller 3000 or something like that.

Yea i did. I beat him in a MM and he beat me in tourney..............yea it doesnt make sense. Diddy wins if he doesnt get grabbed....... but if he does try to have traps just incase. I wasnt thinking to clear against him in tourney. Oh well. Its done with. Anyway if u play it right D3 cant move. Its more of a momentum match. D3 trips..... expect him to get alot of damage. D3 CGs....expect to get edgeguarded thoroughly.

Seibrik is SnakeKiller3000. He will use that tag in out of state tournies from now on.

I play Seibriks all the time, and the best thing I can say about that match up is DON'T GET GRABBED. Other than that it shouldn't be too hard. Any ways Seibrik told me that I'm better at that match up (mainly because I play with him) but your over all REALLY good. Good stuff at CH4, who was the other person you lost to?

Against d3 you just have to play defensively which is probably obvious, but d3 really can't do anything but approach if you camp peanuts and avoid the waddle dees.
