Tweek Diddy Kong Guide

[@revalone3944]

thank you for actually explaining how to play the character instead of saying “his forward air hits in front of him and his down here hits below him and spikes” a lot of character guides are just filled with information you would find in playing the character for 5 minutes

[@krusher181]

The down air does spike tho ;)

[@shadowlucario1906]

Well I mean tweek is like the 2nd best smash player

[@revalone3944]

[@silvesta5027]

I swear everyone forgot Diddy Kong was a character until Tweek started playing him

[@goofygengar1950]

[@Adam.kmight]

Been playing diddy for months now because I always see Dakpo smacking people around on Twitter. You should check him out if you don’t know who that is.

[@silvesta5027]

@@Adam.kmight Dakpo is amazing! I just felt Diddy wasn’t getting talked about much prior. He was given the ‘obscure mid tier’ treatment for most of ultimate’s life. I guess it makes sense tho, Tweek being such a well known player picking him up made everyone realise how good and how much depth Diddy Kong has in this game

[@anxza0068]

I think after the initial buff, people started looking at him again.

[@nathanlevesque7812]

@@silvesta5027 I think Kongo Saga is when awareness peaked. There were so many Diddy Mains popping off

[@bigman8733]

Although he's hard to play he is one of the most fun because you can learn so so much! I hope when offline tournaments come back he also keeps Wario in his rotation cause he's so sick with him

[@LinkMaster5555]

Wario Diddy is a killer combo lol love em both

[@Rspknlikeab0ssxd]

Man I remember when ZeRo was playing Diddy earlier in the game I thought Diddy was a pretty good character, and all of ZeRo's results were from him being incredible at playing neutral and pushing advantage etc. But what Tweek can do with Diddy makes Diddy look INSANE, all the fancy movement and crazy combos are just a treat to see, even as a non Diddy main myself!

[@Athorment]

Diddy also received some small buffs as well. He was much worse with uncharged Up B being unable to reach double jump height

[@tannertravers5274]

I've been playing diddy in friendlies since release, didn't just wanna ditch the character I played in smash 4 because he wasnt "S tier" anymore, still super fun to play even in his ultimate state. Great video as always brother, gave me some insight to stuff I didn't even know! Your Diddy is fireeeeeee

[@sixlar5581]

I cannot stop grinning everytime he says diddy

[@AngryPorkWonton]

Commenting for algorithm. Kick ass in 2021 Tweek 😎

[@light_skit]

I legit searched “Tweek diddy guide” last night. Wtf.

[@krusher181]

This guy was ahead of his time…

[@jollyroger4970]

The movement mix ups with the kung lao kicks are crazy. You make it look easier than it is.

[@01neb80]

How did he do that?

[@FuZSSB]

I played diddy kong similar to ZeRos since I grew up watching him play diddy kong a lot and since I'm coming back to smash bros I can see tweak appreciating the fact through out the years of playing smash and knowing Zero playing diddy kong which he doesn't play anymore but Tweak seems active in the scene and playing diddy kong like he's in smash4 again. Love and appreciate the knowledge you are sharing to anyone who used to main diddy kong or those who want to pick him up because your really good at explaning and mostly understanding the game mechanics and not ignore the best feature he use to have in smash4 and find way to make the character that we once knew one of the best character in smash4 and hopefully in Ultimate soon. Thank you

[@FuZSSB]

I heavy recommand this video and the Art of Diddy kong from Izaw even though it's from smash4 all the tech are still in smash ultimate but the exacution are done differently trust me.

[@Butta28]

Been playing diddy for 2 years, this is a very good guide to go by, wish I had this a few years ago! Awesome job tweek, also check out Dakpo’s diddy guide very informative as well he goes way more in-depth about dtilt

[@BobO45356]

Dude I can't wait for your Diddy when offline comes back. I really think it'll be very hard for other top players to deal with.

[@Imm0rtal49]

7 months later, you were right lol

[@TheBraveZebra]

Bro rest in peace for this villager, he got unfairly abused in this video.

[@fluffman3029]

I found a bit of diddy tech after you get hit (not sure if it works after spikes) if you jump and instantly up b your momentum won't be canceled and you will float more giving you an extra 5 units of height

[@gespenst18]

I know you haven't played him for a long time because you don't like playing him online but please we need a good Wario guide. Really good video thou

[@nathanlevesque7812]

I watch stuff like this and remember all the times people have said Smash or Ultimate specifically is easy, Like, if you set your goals low then any game can be easy, but there's a tonne of stuff to learn and things get complicated, requiring high execution to optimize.

[@roylopez5250]

I'm main diddy and when I started the video it was like "man, how does he do all that?

[@spamseagull1752]

my favorite out of shield option is footstoll, z drop banana, dair, barrels, it does a ton of % and is really safe and consistent

[@SleepyFawn]

Any tips for consistently footstooling out of shield?

[@spamseagull1752]

@@SleepyFawn don't do it when they hit your shield grounded, it won't work. it is easy when they do an aerial on your shield. I just use shoulder jump as well as mashing x to jump (i play gamecube controller) while holding towards them.

[@Sax4565]

everything Diddy related is so very much appreciated! ❤️

[@chrisrey0018]

diddy does have a lot of tricks up his sleeves and alot of ways to "play".

Would absolutely love a guide this comprehensive for PT/Wolf!

[@OMORIDAILYNEWS]

Decided to pick up this character today FUN AS HELL

[@xxwallzxx4509]

I have seen the Diddy from Japan. He looks really good with the Barrel as a counter at times. Like projectiles or even slipping on his own bananas on enemy control. Destruction hands down!

[@Nintendo_Wolf]

2:07 You predicted Kazuya with this theme lol

[@ViltrumiteIsRite99]

Not sure if you’d agree, but Diddy’s a good/challenging match up for YL imo, so this is perfect!

[@mystosan487]

Amazing video! I really hope you are gonna do a guide for Sephiroth too if you have time 😁

[@hasanmubarak8824]

One thing I think you may have missed is Diddy's post-patch infinite with the footstools, but I guess that it's currently too hard to do consistently.

[@DragonMaster1818]

I think Diddy has the best spiking dair in the game. The strongest 3 spikes go somewhat in the order of byleth, ganon, then Diddy. But Diddy longs is the fastest by far and with practice and skill can be confirmed into offstage.

[@Pizza_Box]

You're my favorite smash player! Love the content man

[@bidoofus7921]

Your Diddy is always very inspiring to watch. Maybe I’ll give him a go. Thank you for this!

[@nathanlewis5782]

Man I remember being in the Diddy back room on smash boards in brawl. Dropped him after his up b was changed and took a banana away .. felt too weird after

All these smash players not noticing the tekken music in the background

[@BenD_Bass]

Idk if it's true (maybe character dependent) but I like to turn around fair after down throw if they DI out since it's so active and has more range than other follow ups

[@jorgebonilla2771]

I dont get how to use the aerials without tossing the banana, whenever i try to hit with A i always toss it, is that still possible?

[@pewpewlazer4842]

I love this video, also love you as a player! I know it would be time consuming, but would you mind breaking down how you do things more for scrubs like me? (i.e. how to z drop aerial, gun cancel, etc)

[@Fredysaurus]

I'm also a scrub but I think the z drop aerial is just pressing grab mid air with your banana to drop it and immediately following with an aerial to both hit your opponent and catch it again. But then again I only had it explained just now in this video lool. Can't help you with the cancelling shit I'm not there yet either lol. Tryna get my basic movement and evasion down first so I'm literally spending time against the lvl 9 CPU (I can only beat a 7 rn) not even attacking just trying to get better at not getting hit lol. Its actually helping a lot that's my advice from a scrub to a scrub.

Awesome guide. Do smash toss and normal toss banana come out on the same frame?

[@ethEr1c]

I wanna know who the one person is who disliked this. This was an excellent character analysis.

[@firestorm3k882]

How do you play neutral with banana????? When I don't have banana I usually do things like poking with down tilt & air-to-airing with forward air but banana ruins my entire neutral with Diddy (I do know how to do things like z-drop aerials but I just don't know what kind of attacks I should be throwing out in neutral when banana is in my hand).

[@revalone3944]

i can’t consistently do the pop gun cancel sometime it makes me pull the gun out and air dodge i’m sure it’s a timing thing and i’ll figure it out

[@soc7967]

Ok so when he attacks with the banana, which button does he use to do that? Attack, special, shield, grab? Or better yet, could someone explain the process in how the hell he is able to attacks with the banana without throwing it.

[@-Carne-Asada-]

i have been trying and hour to hold banana and attack. still cant do it? did you figure it out?

[@SleepyFawn]

@@-Carne-Asada- drop the banana with Z RIGHT before you do an attack. The attack will pick the item back up immediately. That's what he's doing

[@-Carne-Asada-]

@@SleepyFawn 🤦🏻‍♂️ thank you lol

[@SleepyFawn]

@@-Carne-Asada- it's okay. I just started playing diddy, and I saw him do this against Leo recently. it happens so fast, it looks like he doesn't even drop it lol

@@SleepyFawn If you can land those hits… Diddy is like the most pesky opponent. I think Banana is the best item in the game.

[@Dreadlash]

The combos with the down tilt are done with pivot canceling (that enables sliding forward), or it's not necessary, "normal" down tilt is enough?
