i use x to jump too, but i never hit y for anything, do you?
Now that I've set it to Grab, I find it easier to use Y to Z-Grab/Dash Grab, and leave Z for DACUSing with other characters. I've never been a fan of pressing Z, so setting Grab to Y made it easier on me. I probably would have changed Z to Attack by now if it weren't for my need to be able to DACUS when I play Wolf; lord knows it'd make playing Diddy a lot easier.

I just set X to grab and jump with Y with tap jump off, but X to grab is for Zair (Xair?) so doesnt affect Diddy

BTW how u check post count in a thread?

****, no diddys like tap jump on? I still use it for out of shield aerials...
I specifically turn it OFF when playing Diddy because it's easier to tilt your shield up when MK is Tornadoing you (as ADHD once said in a thread). I turn it on when I play most other characters. Besides, if I want to aerial out of shield, I just press R (which I set to Jump).

L-> attack, just for shieldgrabbing atm. Feels more natural then R+A.
Y -> grab cus grab is shield+attack so it counts as two inputs when I'm grabbed. I guess.
tap jump on -> actually, being left handed gives me good control over my jumps, I've never needed to use X or Y and I decided I'd be a nooby stickjumper. I only use X when I want to SNL or edge hop, just to be frame perfect. up tilting has never been a problem ; I spammed it in melee anyway lol

Is the best way to momentum cancel bair + side b or bair +double jump?

How important is a non-naner game? When should I start pulling out naners again?

The best way to momentum cancel using bair depends on your situation. If you are about to die horizontally, your best bet is to bair then side b, if you think your double jump can give you a bigger window to surivive (i.e. the exit point of the stage enlarges) your best bet is to jump. I'd say maybe watch some videos of ADHD or gnes and see what they do by where they are exiting the stage. For the most part, you have to learn this through experience.

As far as a no-naner game, of course it is very important. In addition to fighting without the nanas, you have to adapt to when the opponent has the bananas. When to pull out a banana is also kind of an experience thing, but I will say that you are safer than you think when you simply turn around and pull out a banana.

I see ADHD almost always bair to double jump normally to di horizontally. But I heard that bair to side-b is usually better?

ONE! You need to stop being a post stalker!
Two! Diddy kong also takes no skill whatsoever and only wins due to the fact that he has peels! No skill in there at all. I lost alot of times due to the fact that all i saw during the whole match was a diddy kong constantly throwing peels at me/other people. And it's obvious i'm not going to make my point to any of you, because you refuse to accept the truth. Oh well, it's not my fault, i tried to tell you guys. Can't help it if you won't listen. Man this world is messed up. :(
...u guys see this ****?


Its hilariously stupid

Also no naner diddy is pretty fun. It gets you to work on the ridiculous amount of true combo's you actually have( until certain percentages of course)

I can still tilt it up just as good against nado ;O. Something that people should adapt to.

EDIT: I just noticed, but I'm not sure: do you fall faster when you're charging the Popgun?
ill answer ur question.

i use it and its only good for EXTRA horizontal recovery from HIGH VERTICAL distances. because you lose A LOT of vertical altitude the longer you charge but gain a good horizontal boost.

Thank you; I'm glad to know I'm not crazy.

Since I've been doing this a lot lately, is there any combo that you guys would like a video of? I could try to upload some myself, especially if a combo hasn't been given enough attention or a good enough explanation.
