I've been a Diddy fan since the original DKC in 94, and he will most def. be my main in Brawl. After his 'broken' specials were announced, I thought he would be low tier...after watching these videos tho, I'm starting to think not. He's fast, nimble, and strangely his moves look like they're very damaging. I like, I like.

Have we seen his jetpack or popguns explode yet? If not that's good; he won't be as broken as Sakurai lead us to believe.

After watching the E for all video I must say that I'm dissapointed that he dosn't have the same voice as he did in other games. Now he just makes chimp noises.

exactly what i thought. i was a little discouraged about his voice. i perfer his voice in DK64 over regular chimp noises. but it is a call back to DKC, cause both DK and Diddy just had monkey noises

His monkey noises rule. I always found his screams in Mariokart Double Dash to be extremely annoying and uncalled for.

I think he is going to play very similar to Pikachu. Except maybe with more power taken away for extra agaility.

Diddy Kong: weird movement. His b-air is like Mario's and chains together really well; I used it 4-5 times in a row to kill someone off the side of Castle.

That video owns.

Well if Diddy does have a Dixie-esque alt costume do you think this increases K.Rool's chances?

Waiting for you to slip up.
Diddy Kong's B> and BV confirmed.

B> A flip attack, like in the vid. It is a command throw, similar to Bowser's, except better overall.

BV: Tosses the new Banana Peel item in the air. It is considered a normal item after being tossed.

are you sure?
i think the flipping thing was his side dodge. i'm not sure which video you're talking about, though. and the banana i think is what he's getting from killing each koopa/goomba since they stole them. not sure though.

edit: nevermind, looks like you're right.

Diddy Kong rocks! I love that video. Diddy's gonna one of my main characters.
Same here!

Also, I was already challenged by a friend of mine who said Diddy Kong wouldn't fit in Brawl; him using Ike and myself as Diddy Kong! I'll take him on as soon as Brawl's out!

My favourite Nintendo character is Diddy Kong. If you are on the Wiire Boards, I am DiddyKongKongKong!
My friend had to pay me $10 if Diddy was confirmed. He is so awesome in the Subspace Video with him and DK taking on those bullet bills and then Bowser.

I\'m happy he got in i was expecting him or King K Rool i would still really like to see him as Smash Bros is pretty sevearly lacking in villians so i\'m happy Diddy is in but i would still like to see King K Rool in it.
