The Old Diddy Social/General/Q&A Thread

[Chaosgriffin]

Seems like you have the right idea. I usually play my diddy really aggressively buuut not in the luigi matchup. Camping is definetly the way to go. also try to save your kill moves( aka d-smash in this match) till about 140. cause If your fighting a weegee(or anyone really) with good DI and you stale d-smash...your kinda screwed. I mean yeah youve got Fair but your probably going to use it a considerable amount. Also if the luigi is unfortunate enough to have to recover low, you can stop his tornado with a banana. That usually ruins his recovery enough where he will either die or you can get an edgehog. sorry if my input here is a little generic but aggro diddy just doesnt do well against luigi.

True you can stop the tornado, however. If a luigi is hit out of his rising cyclone, he can do another rising cyclone immediately afterwards. So that will not work against a good luigi. The reason why aggro diddy does not work is because luigi's nair priority ***** any air move diddy has, plus luigi's air speed is much faster than diddy's.

Also, don't recover from below luigi, his tornado will gimp the barrels HARD, like nair from MK but more mobile with a longer hitbox =(

 

[Chaosgriffin]

OK, I am going for round 2. How about diddy on Final D. I am thinking he is amazing, but I just want a better opinion.

 

[DFEAR]

diddy is amazing on final d nuff said, but it also kind of depends on personal preference, as i personally would like platforms to be there for ground to air mixup

 

[Gnes]

I have failed you my brethren

 

[AlphaZealot]

I'm beginning to think my personal best stages are:
-BF
-Fd
-Norfair
-Brinstar
-PS1
-Frigate

SV vs non-M2K mK's

Interesting.

Is the list oredered? (so would you rather go to Brinstar than PS1?)
Do you actually CP people to Brinstar?


I like Frigate too... and delfino.

 

[TreK]

BF used to be my best stage, but I learned a few tricks there and now I can't help myself, I need to spam them to look flashy and stuff. And loose, ofc. Wtf.

i found it randomly while searching for your combo vid because i wanted to see the credits again

[Boofy!]

it's all about Halberd son

 

[skabs]

Random question. A few months ago I started using Barrels as a pseudo-counter against predictable attacks, or an effective ledge guard against predictable recoveries (such as DDD or Ike) and get up attacks. In my experience, it has proven to be an effective method of delivering a surprise kill, or at least making it a lot harder for opponents to recover. However, I have watched a lot of Diddy vids, and have rarely seen this tech used. Is it just that it is not well known (doubtful) or do most pros view it as too risky to employ? I know that it cannot really be abused, as it primarily relies on surprise and can be easily punished if predicted or improperly executed, but I am still able to pull it out of my growing bag of tricks every now and then. What do you guys think? Any feedback is appreciated, thanks in advance!

no love for the Barrel tech?

 

[Melomaniacal]

How are you using it as a counter? You use it to hit them?
It's one of the easiest things in the game to punish, don't use it on stage unless they are throwing a banana at you.

As for off stage, barrel spiking is risky. If you mess up, you have no jumps.

 

[Jokes]

no love for the Barrel tech?

Why would you want to be trading hits with D3 and Ike? O_o
D3's sit does so much more damage than barrel, if you want to get a kill off, that's fine, but using it against Ike is pointless when you can just speedhog him, and you don't want to be trading that with D3 unless he possibly can't DI it, and make sure you're at a low enough percent do not die from it.

 

[Dekar173]

Why are you letting D3 hit you? Unless if it's Atomsk, CO18, or Seibrik, they should be crying about how broken Diddy is at you and wondering why they can't hit you

 

[Player-3]

i know p1 would use barrels to interrupt TLs up b to mess with his momentum

 

[Player-1]

....wtf...?

 

[Player-3]

ive seen you do it before

youd get hit by his up b because it cancelled his
it was in your combo vid and im pretty sure i remember seeing you do it on wifi a few times at your house

 

[DFEAR]

gnes did you play biglou?

i did at winterfest. we played like 20 friendly matches. he retaught me the matchup. he plays a very calm luigi.

 

[Player-3]

hes the best luigi

OF ALL TIME

 

[Ingulit]

Biglou is coooool. He came to the last TCS, and I got to play him once. It was a short match xD

 

[Gnes]

So true...seibrik did some weird type of camping against me...so weird. D3 lives so long...I've changed my mind on that matchup...cant believe i thought it was 60-40 diddy.

F that gay chr.

Yeah Gnes avoided MMing me cuz he knew he'd lose. True story. Seibrik dont even know the Mu and u let him take a game. tsskk tssk

its still 6:4 though u prob just dunno the mu well.

LOL gtfo with that...

But yeah I wasn't prepared for that his supreme patience in that match he won...it wont happen again. I know what to expect from that gay chr. of yours.

Adhd thinks its even...i think it maybe too....or maybe 55-45 diddy.

 

[Player-1]

I think it's 55-45

 

[Dekar173]

I don't have an opinion until I play atomsk at pound.

Until then, from tourney experience and such, it's 100-0. He's too fat.

 

[GooseMainsDiddy]

Of course, he it's unwinnable for him, he has a heart attack every time he tries to catch us.

 

[Vyse]

Diddy V Dedede depends on how gay the Diddy is.
Just play hit and run for 8 minutes and you'll win.

No johns.

 

[Dekar173]

Maybe in Australia, Vyse.

 

[chimpact]

Remember when vyse played co18 dohohoho

 

[GooseMainsDiddy]

dohohoho?

What in the world does that mean?

 

[Jokes]

dohohoho?

Old man...

dohoho.

 

[GooseMainsDiddy]

I don't see it

 

[CO18]

Dohohoho simply means: whatever the previous statement was referring to will also happen to gnes.

 

[Vyse]

Remember when vyse played co18 dohohoho

Hi ,im new to diddy and i didnt know who to main between snake, meta knight, diddy, falco and my old favorite pikachu sadly none were good.

Snake: easy to gimp recovery and cant DACUS with wiimote
MK: Hes my worst character i even use olimar better then him and i cant even tell the difference between a attack and a grab=(
Pikachu: My pikachu sucks bad on wifi and since im in where i am wifi is my only choice for brawling new people.
Falco: Same there cant use DACUS and i cant really beat short people.

But diddy the only problem i have with him is using bananas=(
I can still use him though even though most of his strengths rely on bananas or somekind of item that is usable all the time(which is bananas).=)

Ya, CO18 won that argument pretty handily, and it wasn't even an argument!

yo of course you can dacus with snake, ultimate razer uses a wiimote.
and using diddy woith bananas is essential in competitive play
