Talk:Diddy Kong (SSB4)

Banana

No it's not that simple. There exists a single standalone item of the banana peel, they do not only exist from Diddy spawning them. And as Sakurai shown with a bunch of his snapshots, he likes to take funny ones like that, and it could just by a mythology gag. Is it likely the return of the move? Yes. Is it at all confirmed? Not until we see actual spawning. Like with the whole Green Missile thing with Luigi, don't jump the fucking gun, we can wait for actual confirmation. Omega Tyrant 02:21, 21 February 2014 (EST)

I agree with this; its why I didn't initially list the move when I added the unchanged moves list. Diddy isn't shown using his special move to generate the peel, so it's entirely possible he doesn't have the move anymore at all. Unlikely, but possible. ♡FirstaLasto♥ 02:24, 21 February 2014 (EST)

Why would Sakurai show us a picture of Diddy Kong taunting next to someone tripping over a Bannana Peel, if it wasn't his? What would be the point of waiting for one to spawn, so they could pose diddy kong next too it, and then have Fox go and trip on it, when they could just Give Diddy the same down-b as he had in Brawl, to have him trip? Really, your making no sense.

"We should totally show Fox tripping over a banana peel next to Diddy Kong!"
"Oh, is he tripping over one of Diddy's?"
"No, its just a generic one that happened to be on the stage while I'm taking pictures for his reveal."

How, in what world, would that make sense? Again, why would they show Diddy, next to someone tripping over a Banana Peel, if it wasn't his own? If the move were to be replaced, don't you think they would just not bother to include it?

To reference that he had the move in Brawl? Or maybe just a joke based on the fact that he is a monkey? ♡FirstaLasto♥ 02:32, 21 February 2014 (EST)

They have done stuff like that before. Like with the Fairy Bottle picture, they waited for one to spawn (or spawned one themselves...you know, they are creating the game, they have the ability to do so), and put Bowser and Peach in interesting poses. There is no physical proof that the banana was spawned by Diddy. As the two above stated, it's very likely, but not confirmed. Skittles (talk•contribs•logs)

As I said:

"And as Sakurai shown with a bunch of his snapshots, he likes to take funny ones like that, and it could just by a mythology gag."

Diddy is associated with bananas, leaving a pic like that topical and of high comedy value. Seriously dude, stop taking everything so literally. Additionally;

"Like with the whole Green Missile thing with Luigi, don't jump the fucking gun, we can wait for actual confirmation."

We are in no race, we don't need to jump and say everything with the slightest hint is confirmed. A picture of Diddy with a banana peel doesn't confirm it, when you can very well take the same picture of Diddy with the banana item. Lets wait to see the actual spawning, when it's then completely undisputed. Omega Tyrant 02:35, 21 February 2014 (EST)

my head hurts trying to understand how any of you could possibly think this could be anything other than his special move, but you know what, fine, what ever. It'll be confirmed eventually. Everyone else on the internet likely knows what it means. But hey, I guess being the last to acknowledge it would be the hipsterish thing to do ...?

Knock it off with that "better-than-thou" attitude, and actually read what we said. Lots of idiots will jump on and think it's the move because they just see "Diddy and banana", without stopping to think it could just be the item. That doesn't mean it's confirmed in the slightest. Omega Tyrant 02:46, 21 February 2014 (EST)

I'm not? I am not trying to come off as "better-than-thou", but since I appear to be coming off as such, I greatly apologize. But seriously, I really don't see how it could be anything but his own move. Why wait to have a banana peel item to spawn for fox to trip over for the sake of a picture, when he'd be able to just use his move to summon it? I am getting a legit headache trying to wrap my head around the logic of that being the actual set up for the image. It makes no sense to me what so ever to use an item that just spawned, over it being brought out via Diddy's down special.
