My diddy needs some criticism.

[SRTM]

I've been using diddy since brawl came out, and i think its time to share some vids.
The problem is, I think i've hit a block, because I cannot get any better and my strategies are all the same. Recently I've been working on using bair more, but that's about it...
Any tips?

the only criticism i can give you is more banana locks, especially on FD! there were a few times you hit your opponent with a banana and you chose to do a dash attack, instead turn around grab the other banana and lock him, its a free 20 to 50% every time. its the dangers of "Auto" mode which is very easy to fall into playing diddy I still have trouble with that myself. just continue to play smart. Good Diddy

good use of bair as a stage spike but try using it more on after dash attacks and things

1st video.

At :35 I noticed a glide-toss into fsmash. Work on making a barrier between you and your opponent. Keep the bananas between you and them, not on the other side.

At :54 I saw that you could've quick caught a banana, I saw this several times. Just push A right before it hits you, and you'll catch it. It usually tricks your opponent.

Throughout the whole video I noticed that you barely tilted. Tilts are amazing with diddy. Dtilt leads into many combos. There is a dtilt guide on the Diddy Boards. Also, utilt is amazing.

I saw you roll alot as well, don't roll as much, ESPECIALLY against R.O.B. Dsmash less.

So, work on spacing tilts, preserving your kill moves, adn rolling less, and you'll be at the next level. Good work though man, I hope to see you get better.

I really want you to practice a few things with Diddy that I think could vastly improve your game. The first one is something that Will help with ALL your characters, and not just diddy, but you need to work on your landing. Work on hitting your shield button as SOON as you hit the ground. The animation for standing up will become much quicker.. This will allow for less punishment while recovering and also, this is good practice for landing on your bananas and picking them up.. !!

Someone already said you roll a lot... this is something I think you could avoid if you didn't rely so heavily on your C-stick when glide tossing.. I know dribbling is important (which I would like to see more of) but using your A button to glide toss will really ween you from your reliance on rolling.. it opens up a lot of cool options with shorthops and penut approaches you wouldn't have had before..

thanks for the tips
My problem with ROB is that he was pressuring me so bad, all I thought was to automatically smash... I ALWAYS do this is tournaments because I get really nervous and smash alot

I've uploaded a new video which shows my current style, minus a few barrel cancel mistakes.

yeah, you seem to be playing battlefield a lot 2.. thats cool, just make sure you learn to fastfall more often 2.. jam down twice on your down stick and try and get to the ground quicker... unless of course there is no banana out..

besides rolling too much, you kind of downsmash too much. it just makes it harder for you to kill later on.

Use wifi if it's your only option bro. Look in the Diddy boards for my match, play samus like that.
