I find it very funny that diddy Kong used to be a mid tier character in ultimate. Now you can see that he’s everywhere, all because tweek piloted him so skillfully
not entirely accurate... I mean he did get buffed and made into a better and more fun character rather than just relying on an infinite. those may have contributed to people picking him up, plus even after tweek's hyping the char if you pick a char up and it doesn't feel good you don't play it.
But I think that’s what the diddy players wanted first. Like without context or footage the name of Ice climbers “wobbling” doesn’t sound too ominous but straight calling an Ice climber infinite is asking for people to find out. Calling an infinite by a code name could hide the tech til after the final patch. But the better of the diddy players gotten to them do they wanted to win tournaments right now and then.
Let’s freaking go PG stats, the SB nation/ Jon Bois format for sports videos made me care about the shortest punt in football for like an hour so making them for smash is just awesome. If you could get the melee content goat of melee, TDFW, on some chart party-esque stuff that would be sick
Yesssss L4st and Walt have always given me huge Secret Base vibes in their cadence, when I realized this was structured in homage to some of their videos my jaw hit the floor. Great stuff guys, every day I thank the stars we have PGstats giving smash bros high level production and content on the regular.
that's just so crazy imagine telling a player distraught about the possibility of a patchout of the pyramid scheme post-genesis that it would get patched out completely and yet diddy would also somehow get buffed into winning a major IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PANDEMIC anyway
Iirc kantrip is a part of panda’s social team, and if that’s the case part of me wants to believe he asked what the diddy infinite should be called then responded to his own tweet on the panda Twitter account with the pyramid scheme
Absolutely LOVED the video! Diddy has had such a polarizing ride in Ultimate. Has been hardfully accused of being terrible at the beggining, then once buffed, along with his infinite, was seen as a threat. But then the infinite was patched out, and people slept on him again. People only finally started giving Diddy credit when a top 5 player like Tweek finally picked him up. But now, at least in my opinion, since people started learning the matchup it seems Diddy is on the lower trend again, despite being on so many player's top tier list. This is further supported by Tweek not winning another Major with Diddy after Summit, as well as getting 33rd at Genisis 8. Its very interesting to think about.
I don't care what people say or think about Tweek, that man is coming back with a force and I can feel it, his mechanical skill in this game is so high.
@@mrjollyguy25 true. He's had good highs this time too though. 1st at summit 3, 2nd at riptide and collision, 4th at momocon. Granted these are smaller tourneys but that's mostly because of covid
Cool video. Was interesting to see happening in real time and in person at Platinum Star Smash in NJ. Tweek picked up Diddy around the same time as Rivers and they put on some incredible diddy kong ditto grands. If I had to offer any criticisms... I wouldve maybe talked less about the infinite and focused a bit more on the actual building of the meta, culminating by displaying more of Tweeks mastery of the character in grand finals of Summit and breaking down the set more in detail. In the video it kinda seems like Diddy just got buffed and suddenly starting winning soon thereafter, when that wasn't the case at all. Tweek grinded out a bunch of 200+ nj monthly tourneys battling it out with the likes of Rivers, Leon, and Jakal to become damn good relatively quickly with the peanut shooting monkey sidekick.
He pulled out Diddy a lot in his last local I believe, he's not dropping diddy, but he will run a 3 man squad instead I believe, Seph, Diddy and Cloud.
♾ aside Diddy was always a character I highly respected (despite not playing the character) since ZeRo’s smash 4 dominance Heartwarming to see his resurgence to say the least
Gonna be honest, I never cared for SB's Rewind series format, and likewise I don't like it much in this setting either. I appreciate the reference though
I've been watching so many different Smash Ultimate content creators, but I've never never heard any content creator call it the Pyramid Scheme. I've only heard it called "The banana infinite" I call BS on the name
Credits for this video incorrectly lists Jackie Peanuts as the writer when it was Trash Day who wrote it: twitter.com/TrashDaySSB
This title out of context is hilarious
More like a scheme involvinf the whole community
I did not know the context XD
Diddy kong has a pyramid scheme yoshi has commited tax fraud. Woner what other crimes have been committed by smash characters we dont know about
As someone with no idea what the context is, I can confirm it is
the person who thought that up was fking brilliant.
this is the best video i've ever seen
It's him! The pyramidion!
Pyramidong
this is definitely the video ever
This was definitely a great vid.
Really love the Rewinder reference!
Secret Base is my favorite sports channel, and PGstats is now my favorite esports channel!
Both are very entertaining.
As a diddy main, this character is so much fun! Idk why people never picked him up earlier, beside the buffs later
because of "character is not as good as in the previous game => bad"
@@MeatOfJustice well he was not very good before the buffs the buffs pretty much saved the character
Because he sucked pre buff
Fun video! Thanks for all the mention :)
I find it very funny that diddy Kong used to be a mid tier character in ultimate. Now you can see that he’s everywhere, all because tweek piloted him so skillfully
And I will never forgive Tweek for that.
I feel like most characters are like this but due to people sticking with the high tiers they don't get that much attention

Idk whats worse,
The Falco Agenda or
The Diddy Pyramid Scheme
🤔🤔
Perhaps Multilevel Marketing
Ay I see you with the Rewinder reference PGstats. Way to go, great video
I lost it at the optimal finisher
that's just so crazy imagine telling a player distraught about the possibility of a patchout of the pyramid scheme post-genesis that it would get patched out completely and yet diddy would also somehow get buffed into winning a major IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PANDEMIC anyway
The Secret Base style of video. I loved it!
Mixing both of the worlds I love!!

I have no idea what you’re talking about
Loved the Secret Base references at the beginning and end!
My favorite pgstats video so far
You should make a video like this for Bayonetta, she has recently seen a rise recently with more players getting better results with her.
Love the Secret Base Rewinder esce style for Smash content. Keep it up!!
Interestingly, Player 1 used the pyramid scheme against Marss at Dreamland 2020

Great video as always!
I like how you used the sports rewind channel line a moment in history and brought to smash
Someone at PGstats loved SB Nation/Secret Base
I'm totally down with PG stats making Secret Base's "Rewind" series, but for Smash Bros.
Whoever made the title should be fired
5:13 can we also talk about this tier list though? Omg things have surely changed a lot damn
"The Banene-"
My stupid ass brain: _Ban na nana na, na na nana na, Banu nunu nu nu, Neh nehneh neh-_ 🎵
I don't care what people say or think about Tweek, that man is coming back with a force and I can feel it, his mechanical skill in this game is so high.
Yeah he gets a lot of shit but people don’t realize he was also pretty inconsistent in his “2019 prime”
@@crunchproductions2276 yeah he was so inconsistent then too but his highs were higher like getting 2nd at EVO 2019 and 3rd at SSC 2019

Wait charliedaking has a new tag???
'Multi Level Marketing" I LOVE THAT
5:11 this tierlist made me physically recoil
Amazing video really- i was thrilled!
Aaand tweek is already halfway done dropping Diddy now lmfao
Y'all really going for "What if Rewinder, but Smash Bros?" and I am here for it.
Banaenae is the greatest word in human history
Early 2021 Tweek Diddy hit different
I miss seeing tweek on top of the world. he's still one of the best players but I wanna see him be #1 (or 2 😭) again! I know he still has it in him
He has it in him it’s just that his mentality is holding him back.
I blame his obsession with sephiroth
this is good and all but we need ANOTHER BIG D VIDEO
Love that this is just Secret Base for smash now lol
Sb nation/secret base vibes here and there i love it
First things first, the name and thumbnail of this video is amazing
i like the sb nation formatting
And now hes talking about dropping diddy smh
His crisis might last forever.
He pulled out Diddy a lot in his last local I believe, he's not dropping diddy, but he will run a 3 man squad instead I believe, Seph, Diddy and Cloud.
Multi level marketing I'm deaddd
10:05 Until Kazuya lmao
Looking at Void's old tier list made me laugh
"Multi level marketing" 💀
Amazing video.
You guys have been watching Secret Base. Come up with your own tagline
DID A SMASHTUBER REFERENCE SECRET BASE???
Real recognize real
I never thought I would say this again but LET’S GO DIDDY!!!
how do I spell CDK's new tag?
mecuga
♾ aside Diddy was always a character I highly respected (despite not playing the character) since ZeRo’s smash 4 dominance
Heartwarming to see his resurgence to say the least
Diddy will always be top 5 in any Smash game as long as he has banana, it is such a broken tool to have to win neutral
with its movement arc and funny ring, calling this combo the "pyramid scheme" is never not gonna be hilarious
Most misleading title name ever lmao
strong Jon Bois influence
I swear it got patched out because of rikuya since nintendo probably only care about the jp meta
how does l4st still keep finding work w his voice
Luigi next or what?
Well done
So you guys watch secret base too huh?
Literally sakurai wanted to make diddy not as strong to not repeat smash 4 and brawl but had no choice but to do.it because of an infinite
Got yall with the like and comment
that is pichu
Diddy kong made nfts?
Gonna be honest, I never cared for SB's Rewind series format, and likewise I don't like it much in this setting either. I appreciate the reference though
Hey MPg beat this guy today
Yes, pyramid scheme
Daddy dong
I feel like I've seen this format with stuff that people actually care about before
how do you not know how to pronounce gluttony? lol
I've been watching so many different Smash Ultimate content creators, but I've never never heard any content creator call it the Pyramid Scheme. I've only heard it called "The banana infinite" I call BS on the name
This title sucks and I know that is why I clicked it but I don't think it will work generally
What are you talking about?
@@fupalover I think it is really bad at capturing an outside audience I literally never would have clicked this if I wasn't already subbed
