The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Overview
Diddy Kong performs an overhead kick that has overall above-average knockback and quick start-up. In the early versions of Smash 4, the attack was extremely powerful and was notorious for being able to KO well under 100% off a down throw or up throw; the former was eventually dubbed the "Hoo-Hah". This combo was also very effective for racking damage at low percents along with forward aerials. Since the move comes out on frame 3, it has always been a great option for breaking out of combos, though it is punishable if shielded.
When patch 1.0.6 was released, Diddy Kong's up air was significantly weakened in terms of damage and knockback, and it was nerfed again in patch 1.0.8, where its range was nerfed to the point where it no longer hits every character out of a short hop while they're standing on the ground. It is now only a reliable KO option with rage on stages with low ceilings such as Halberd, Delfino Plaza, and occasionally Town & City, after an up throw. However, it is still a useful anti-air option when used in short hops along with forward airs.
In patch 1.1.0, Donkey Kong's forward throw had its base knockback significantly reduced, which, when combined with his own very powerful and fast up aerial, could reliably set up KOs under 100%, making it very reminiscent of Diddy's old Hoo-Hah combo.
