Diddy Kong (PM): Difference between revisions

| Combo Swat || 3%, 2%, 4%, 2%/1% (loop/tip) || Slaps twice, then turns around and kicks with one foot and keeps it raised, while repeatedly hitting by lashing his tail out. First hit can set-up a grab if jab-canceled or even a buffered down smash.

| Lean Punch || 13%/10% (high/body), 12%/9% (mid/body), 11%/8% (low/body) || Places both arms together above his head. Stands on one foot, leaning to the side and punching with both fists together above his head. Can be angled.

| Jump Swipe || 8% || Swats in the air above him with a slap. Quick and can combine with other attacks. This can be used to juggle at low damage percentages.

| Low Clap || 8% || While crouching, slaps forward. Combos well into more down tilts and even a down smash. Extremely useful for racking up damage at low percentages.  

| Cartwheel || 9% (clean), 5% (late) || Does a cartwheel spin, resembling the one from the Donkey Kong Country games. A great move due to having almost absolutely no ending lag and combines well with his up smash or up tilt. Can also go off edges and platforms.

| Spinning Punch || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|5}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}} (hit 2) ({{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|19}} total) || Spins, slapping forward twice. The first hit has no knockback, comboing into the second hit, although this can be escaped rather easily. When fully charged and both hits connect, it can KO at 92% on heavyweights and 85% on lightweights.

| Fliparound || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|2}} (hits 1-2), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|11}} (hit 3) ({{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|15}} total) || Hops a little and does a sort of cartwheel, hitting three times with extremely low knockback that doesn't KO until 115%. Fills in combos and can rack up damage easily.

| Breakdance Kick || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|16}} (front), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|13}} (back) || Performs a sweeping kick. It has less knockback than his forward smash and sends enemies at a more horizontal angle.

| Air Cartwheel || 13% (clean), 9% (late) || Sticks out hands and feet and spins. Only hits once with decent knockback. Looks similar to his dash attack.

| Two-Legged Kick || 15% (clean), 11% (late) || Kicks both feet forward. Diddy Kong's strongest aerial, a great edge-guarding option, and a good move to use in a short hop (though a bair is quicker and better for spacing). On the edge at above 100%, edge drop -> jump -> fair is considered one of the best options available.

| Rear Kick || 12% (foot), 11% (body) || Sticks leg out and spins it behind him. His fastest aerial, a great option for spacing whether a short hop is used or not.  

| Flip Kick || 12% (clean), 8% (late) || An overhead flip kick. Decent knockback, fairly fast.

| Two-Fisted Pound || 15% (sweetspot), 14% (sourspot) || Punches both arms down, meteor smashing powerfully as soon as it connects, but with some start-up lag.

| Headbutt || 3% || Headbutts his target, angled from the side of his body. Hits almost instantly.

| Toss || 11% || Tosses opponent forward. Based on how Diddy Kong would throw barrels in Donkey Kong Country. Best used to get opponents offstage to set up an edgeguard, can combo into an fair.

| Rear Toss || 10% || Tosses opponent backward, very similar to his f-throw in that it is useful for getting opponents offstage.  

| Vertical Kick || 3% (hit), 7% (throw) (10% total) || Throws opponent up and kicks them. Is a decent option for getting opponents into the air. It's his strongest throw.

| Ground Bounce || 5% (hit), 3% (throw) (8% total) || Performs a leapfrog-like manoeuvre and throws the opponent underneath him. Has fair backwards knockback. Can be followed up by multiple moves and is a good combo starter.

| Spin Swipe || 6% || Gets up and kicks to both sides.

| Swirl Kick || 6% || Gets up and kicks to both sides.

| Spin Kick || 5% || Another two kicks to either side.

| Quick Flick || 6% (tail far), 8% (tail close) || Spinning tail slap.

| Slow Kick || 10% || Short kick.
