Diddy Kong (SSBU): Difference between revisions

Diddy Kong did receive notable buffs, however. His [[neutral attack]] no longer has an infinite portion, which decreases its damage potential but allows it to connect much more reliably, improving its overall consistency and utility as a close range option. Some of his moves also have more range and/or reduced lag that increases their combo ability, namely forward aerial's clean hit, [[dash attack]], up tilt, [[down aerial]], and [[down throw]], the latter working better as an alternative to his up throw at lower percents. His special moveset has also been improved in a number of ways, namely [[Monkey Flip]] has reduced startup lag and much more range, which when coupled with the changes to jostle mechanics greatly improve its utility as an offensive tool, [[Peanut Popgun]] has less startup lag, deals more damage and charges significantly faster and [[Rocketbarrel Boost]] goes further when uncharged and makes Diddy Kong fall much slower during the charge period, slightly improving his recovery overall. Game updates have further enhanced various aspects of Diddy's moveset: his [[up smash]], down smash, and [[up aerial]] have increased KO power, his [[neutral aerial]] (previously his most situational aerial attack) is considerably more useful due to [[auto-cancel]]ing much earlier and having increased range.
