Diddy Kong is ranked a 14 on the tier list and can be a very good fighter for Smash Bros. if you know how to use him. One of his basic combos to use is a grab, down throw, jump, back air. This can rack up damage pretty good. If the enemy is at 111% or higher then instead of using back airs use up airs instead. This is great for killing. if your not a grabby person use bananas, just pull one out and get up close, throw it and side smash them away! Another basic combo is banana throw, dash attack, and up/back/standard/forward air. ( It depends on where they are at.) To rack up damage you can use his side special cling on to people for a second or two and tap A. This does a whopping 14% damage! and it has decent knock back. If your opponent is jumping back to an edge you can use it, cling on, and press down and it will spike them down, or if it is a character that has bad horizontal recovery (Mario) then press A to launch them farther away from the edge. Diddy kong's side special can grab on to shielding opponents, so use that to your advantage. if you press A or B before you cling on to an opponent you have a kick that can go through most attacks. it has great knock back and is helpful in sudden deaths. Don't use your kick when your of an edge or else you don't get your up special, but definitely use your side special with no kick that still allows you to use your up special. Diddy kong is my main and is tied for first for my favorite Nintendo character. (Slippy Toad) I hope all you guys use my method and if you have questions send me a message. Thank you.
