Attributes

Changes from Brawl to PM

Diddy Kong received noticeable buffs from Brawl to PM to fit with the Melee physics.

• As with Captain Falcon, the third hit of Diddy's neutral attack is now always separated from the rapid hits, so he can either launch foes with the third hit to then jab cancel and follow up, or rack up damage with the rapid hits against enemies at low percentages.
• Like Donkey Kong's, his dash attack now can move off ledges, setting up offstage KOs.
• Down tilt has eariler IASA frames and set knockback, leaving foes open against attacks more easily.
• Neutral aerial is considerably stronger, dealing twice the former damage.
• The peanuts from Peanut Popgun now travel in straighter arcs and are much more powerful. A fully charged peanut can travel across the entire distance of Final Destination. Diddy can also air dodge out of his Peanut Popgun, allowing him to waveland between shots.
• Monkey Flip had its distance increased. Attacking regularly after grabbing now sends opponents upward, leading into aerials at higher percents.
• Rocketbarrel Boost has its distance increased. Furthermore, Diddy has more control over both its arc and launch angle allowing for better and trickier recoveries. Its power has also been increased, making it a viable combo finisher.
• Can no longer infinite opponents with his Bananas, as tripping can now be teched.
• His up taunt has been replaced with a juggling animation, possibly as a reference to his idle animation in Donkey Kong Country 2. Diddy will continue to juggle as long as the taunt button is held. His old up taunt is moved to his down taunt.
• For his side taunt, Diddy now leans his head forward and puts a hand in his mouth with a burly expression, as if trying to contain his laughter from a foe (using the same SFX as the original side taunt).
• Original down taunt is now an idle pose.
• One of Diddy's victory poses now involves him wearing sunglasses while dancing around to the music playing on his beatbox.
