All critque/comments would be welcome. Thanks guys!Well, I got some new matches from my second weekly. Didnt get bopped as badly as my first time. We had a stream set-up going but I was only able to get some friendlies in on the set-up.
http://www.twitch.tv/ssbmontreal/b/543915774
The first match I played starts at around 1:00 and is just a test for the stream.
The second match was a more serious and probably a better match to watch. It starts at around 10:20.
So yeah, all comments, critics and tips are welcome. Especially MU tips since I have almost no experience against almost all of the cast (my brother is all the practice I get usually and plays Falco/Fox/Marth exclusively).
Its a lot higher quality than my last post, thank God so please check it out guys! I really want to improve here.
So after watching the first match something I immediately noticed is that you aren't fast falling a lot of your aerials. In addition I saw some missed L cancels. At 1:48 you drop an edgeguard to take out a banana. Bananas are good for edgeguarding but that was like a free dsmash/fsmash. You don't use bananas much in the neutral, there were a lot of opportunities to take them out. Try to grab more as well, and capitalize off them. At 2:16 you drop another easy edgeguard. And again at 2:54, and almost again at 3:08.I havent been getting much responses from the Diddy forums so Ill post again here.
I have a youtube video of my Diddy vs Falco/Marth. The quality is terrible however so viewer discretion is advised.

I also have a higher quality video from a recorded twitch match. Heres what i posted to the Diddy critque thread.
All critque/comments would be welcome. Thanks guys!
Thanks for the critiques! I appreciate it. I can see that fast falling could really speed up my game. Ill also work on my edgeguarding too. Others have told me it seems to be my biggest weakness as well.So after watching the first match something I immediately noticed is that you aren't fast falling a lot of your aerials.

Second match, another edgeguard dropped at 4:06. Stage control was a lot better at 5:38 and secured you a kill. Make sure you DI marth's throws down and away so you dont get fsmashed every time.
Hope this helped.
Your video is private.this was against a com on an xbox controller, is there anything i could improve upon? I've only been playing smash "competitively" for about 3-4 months https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0umDCz03zs0
From watching the first video you should approach with less smash attacks and more aerials (nair) because smash attacks wont work on real people often. Also follow up more with shine after nair and dair. Try not to roll as much and dash dance more (dash dance will be more noticeable against humans).this was against a com on an xbox controller, is there anything i could improve upon?

So here is a MUCH better quality tournament set from our Montreal weeklies. It was winners-semis against our #1 player , Bidoof. who takes first pretty much every week. I had no idea how to DI G&W combos and I lost a pretty convincing 2-0 (even with him SDing ..) But then he agreed to go FD in a game 3 friendly and I did a lot better.
I need some tips for the MU as well as any other criticisms you may have. I do think i have improved a lot since Ive started going to the weeklies. I actually took 5th place out of 32 entrants this time, it was great!
Heres the bracket for anyone thats interested.

Your banana and punish game is pretty good. However, some of the things you do are a bit unsafe, and you get punished for it hard. at 2:37, for example, that up-b was pretty greedy. You would've been better off throwing a banana up or nairing (remember I'm no diddy main so this analysis could be wrong). You could also work a bit on your edge-guarding, which is also a bit unsafe, like at 1:55, where you could have had a free dair.Once again, Im posting here as well as on the Diddy boards. I think Ive improved quite a bit since the last video. All critique and comments are welcome!
I appreciate the reply! Yeah, the UpB at 2:37 was greedy. I get too agressive off of momentum and do unsafe things when I get a string of hits going. I need to work on staying calm and still play smart. And yeah, my edgeguard game is by far the weakest part of my game. Ill work on that, thanks.Your banana and punish game is pretty good.

In the entirety of that tourney set, you only used one peanut. Only one. If you're not utilizing Diddy's peanuts, then you're playing an inefficient Diddy Kong, imo. By not using peanuts, you allow g&w to zone and control space with his aerials and land-cancelable bacon (neutral b) for free and bananas can only do so much to prevent him from doing that.Once again, Im posting here as well as on the Diddy boards.

Thanks a lot! Was really looking for some MU advice like this. I Faced the same G&W in bracket yesterday and still couldnt do much. :/ He did tell me after the set that G&W has trouble approaching so Ill work on using more peanuts to try to limit him more. I guess Im playing the MU too aggressively.Basically, you spent too much time always trying to approach and running into g&w's moves instead of trying to limit his options with the best of Diddy's tools. Especially when you had a stock lead. There's no shame in peanut camping.
I hope that helped!
No problem! And good luck the next time you play him.Thanks a lot! Was really looking for some MU advice like this.

Fox's lasers give you free damage on your opponent. Though they don't have stun and are weaker the farther away you are, the laser's most beneficial effect is that it acts like a psychological weapon that forces your opponent to approach because if they don't, they have to keep eating lasers. You can use lasers in such a manner to bait approaches and punish them.quick question to anyone should i be using fox's lasers? or are they for the most part useless?
Pretty good, but your approaches can be a bit unsafe. For example, you would occasionally just do a runup grab, which would work some of the time, but not all the time. Your nair shine approaches were also getting a bit predictable. If I were you, I would add in a drill shine or maybe even falling up-air to mix it up. Really good otherwise though!No problem! And good luck the next time you play him.

Edit: Also, could someone critique this wi-fi GFs set I had a few months ago? I'm obviously bad at the Fox/Samus MU :/
It seemed like his game plan going into game 2 and 3 was to apply a ton of pressure so you wouldn't be able to get your bananas set up.Got a recent video of my losers semis match at last weeks weekly. Looking for some more critque to help myself improve
