Strengths: everything
Weaknesses: nothing
"Don't get hit!"
Sure...

[@thedapperturkey]

Weakness is just his recovery everything else yeah it's rough

[@zebraboi_]

How to fight every character:
Don't get hit

[@TravPlay]

That’s my motto

[@CruelSunSsb]

Unless you're lucario, then get hit, but just enough

[@brucis]

Loved the last part where you explained everything you talked about in practice on a real match!

[@TravPlay]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Spyder-Marth]

Diddy Kong's strongest smash attack is frame 5... it kills so early and has so many uses out of shield. I can't believe Nintendo allowed that on a very mobile character who has a great combo game and an overall great Neutral. His ledge trapping with banana is also super broken. Honestly he needed another IMO. He's still pretty balanced but dang some of his moves should be slower.

[@ObitoUchiha88888]

That Mewtwo match was sick. We need to play again soon!

[@BigMamaSSB]

That was you?

[@miguel1199]

This is really great! I love the editing with the reverse explanations. Thanks for the video

[@TravPlay]

Glad you liked it!

[@miguelarizmendi5677]

thanks for the great video. I know you mentioned it wasn´t your main and you put in practice what you showed us, that was great, you nailed it there! It´s important to mention you need to know you character and mix-up their options. For example, mewtwo can change its air momentum with a B-reverse and also bait the landing, touching the ground faster by doing a jump cancel into shadowball. That mobility will help on this specific match to bait and punish the banana throw. Respect bro, thanks for your content

[@abashnabs2196]

This real time demonstration at the end was nothing short of glorious!

[@luissalasyt]

love you man

[@ThatOneWeirdFlex]

Literally have never won a single match against diddy bc of how bs this character is. Even with characters like Cloud, Seph, Samus and others

[@genericgary7293]

"Keep in mind this video wont cover everything" why? That's why I clicked on the video

[@livegains3441]

Wow so good...imagine the tips being...dont get hit. Smh

[@cib3r708]

Thank you so much this is probably my worst character to face as i have trouble having myself go offstage and edgeguarding along with having trouble getting out of combos with characters im good with such as ike and donkey kong but i struggle doing it with my backpocket pika which may be because i don't use him often and am reluctant to but i play him decently
also when i land i notice a flaw myself and its that i like to use things that almost instantly land or bring me close to the ground like ike up b, captain falcon down b, shiek/sonic dair, falling nair with dk or even a teleport to the ground with characters that can
i try to stop this but it's just mindless and im not sure if it's safer or less safe lol

[@arusu6478]

Pro tip. If you footstool the opponent, throw the banana down, wait a second, then pull the banana, the infinite will work just fine.

[@bomberhood7234]

Thanks for this video dude, I struggle a lot against Diddy Kong.

[@zebraboi_]

Can you make a remastered version of how to beat k rool?

[@TravPlay]

It needs it. But I probably won’t do it until I finish the rest of the playlist.

[@zebraboi_]

@@TravPlay ah okai

[@isaacldi2643]

That match analysis at the end was very heplful and informative thank you so much for this video

[@TravPlay]

You're welcome

[@patriots-wu2qs]

I liked how you demonstrated the anti play after you talked about it....easily one of my favorite videos from you

[@TravPlay]

Glad you liked it!

[@cade_blade6126]

Can you make a video on how to adapt and think better in matches?

[@TravPlay]

There’s already a good video for that: th-cam.com/video/jfSH3LyTfcY/w-d-xo.html.
I’ll keep doing match analyses at the end of my videos, which can show you how I adapt. I did that in my last video too against Min Min.

[@ravantgarde1899]

I love you TravPlay

[@muzzledoof6353]

Yes, I love this series

[@ZamasuManzon]

And if you're watching it after patch 11 (Homura/Hikari) they increased the frames to throw this Banana crap after a previous one. This thing is ridiculous.

[@Vestat1]

“Don’t get hit.” Lmfao wtf? Just use his banana against him and gimp his recovery.

[@speedshoes29]

Patch 11 nerfed Diddy's Infinite Banana Peel.

[@Sam_H954]

I just call him diddy dang so I can say dang diddy dang

[@InfinityFantasy]

Imagine if Final Smashes were legal lmao

[@bababooeythelegendary4523]

Should I be sad or angry

[@gamingalthepal]

Love the video but wow your Mewtwo is definitely interesting. Would love to see a "How to fight Mewtwo" guide and I could help give some pointers as I'm an M2 main

[@TravPlay]

Thanks!

[@mrsogoras]

Nice guide my dude

[@jesterjosie3281]

Donkey Kong should also have a command grab. Who else agrees? Maybe instead of the down special
