Unpopular Smash Opinions (BE CIVIL)

I've been thinking a lot about doctor clones lately, and I think the best option would be Dr. Diddy Kong. You'd likely need to redesign him for Smash given he's one of the more basic doctor redesigns, but I think he would be a really interesting character functionally as a slow, heavy character with a tiny frame; you could implement some kind of "healing bait" attack in place of banana peel, which I've always felt was a cool idea and has somewhat prescedence for Diddy's moveset; the wooden head mirror is a very distinctive trait; megavitamin-coloured peanuts would be cute; and he well represents the post-Country intersection between DK and Mario, which I think has gone underrepped in Smash.

This might be a popular opinion but I just have no taste for grounding moves. DKs side-b is great and all but man. Also the super armor is very generous in ultimate, and it sorts of "breaks the rules" where intercepting a slow attack with a quick jab is a bit of a crapshoot since they might just bust out the unstoppable la bomba donk. Kinda like parry actually. (There's a fan mod of sephiroth where he has a "delayed" down-b, it looks awesome and the mechanics compliment his style so well.) Anyway the thing with super armor is it's simulating huge momentum which is not just velocity but mass too. And you have lots of moves that you'd never guess would have super armor for how frail the fighters look. Nevertheless super armor is a cool addition (formalization) all things considered
