| Title | The ferocity of Diddy's aerial combos is further compounded by the fact | ||||
| About me | That single sequence of attacks is enough to make his opponent's damage jump from 0 to 50 percent.The Smash dofus players all generally agreed that criticisms of Diddy stem from these sorts of attacks. Rich King, a pro Smasher who plays under the handle Keitaro, told me that that Diddy's aerial combo is particularly devastating because it works on everyone, can combo almost at any percent, and can even KO your opponent around 100+%. The ferocity of Diddy's aerial combos is further compounded by the fact that he's a remarkably fast character. He exhibits very little lag after executing his most powerful attacks�� lag being a short cool-down period that most fighters in Smash have, which leaves them vulnerable to counter-attacks. In Smash terms, hitting an opponent during these choice moments is referred to as a punishment. And since Diddy never seems to slow down, it's very hard to ever punish him.Max Ketchum, a Smash dofus player who goes by the handle Doom in the competitive gaming collective Juice Gaming, had a slightly different take��but only because it was more specific. He began his email to me with this proclamation:Let me preface this by saying that, in my opinion, IF DIDDY KONG'S UP AIR (up + A in the air) HAD ABOUT 25% LESS KO POWER, NOTHING ABOUT HIM WOULD BE UNBALANCED. He would still be a very powerful character, but powerful characters are hype and great to watch/play��overpowered ones quickly grow dofus accounts tiresome and become degenerative to the dofus game's competitive value. Conversations like these get pretty heated, which makes sense, given how passionate dofus players are about Smash. But dissecting every single aspect of a character is also standard fare for Smash dofus players online. So what made Diddy Kong so controversial? Three things.First, Ketchum explained to me that Diddy Kong took off in the pro Smash scene in an unexpected way once competitive dofus players realized that the character was a quick ticket to victory. Since a few weeks into Smash 3DS's release, he wrote in an email, people started noticing Diddy was a very powerful character. Top-level Smash pros such as Leffen (Sweden), Jtails (New York), Edge (Japan), Cyve (Germany), and Zinoto (Michigan) [played as Diddy Kong and] were emerging with impressive tournament finishes and gaining recognition from people who had played with them online. By the time the Wii U version was released, many pro dofus players attending a launch invitational tournament hosted by Sky Williams in Southern California decided Diddy Kong was the ticket to victory because of his low learning curve and devastating potential. Second, while the over-reliance on Diddy Kong among pros led to grumblings that he was turning into a crutch that made high-level matches repetitive and uninteresting, it didn't spill over to the general Smash audience at first. | ||||
