==Overview==
==Overview==
Diddy Kong performs an overhead kick. Its extremely quick startup, wide coverage above Diddy Kong and decently wide [[autocancel]] window make it a relatively low risk move in air-to-air combat. Its high base knockback and vertical launch angle also make it excellent for juggling and as a followup from Diddy Kong's [[Diddy Kong (SSB4)/Up throw|up throw]] and [[Diddy Kong (SSB4)/Down throw|down throw]], even at high percentages; the move can combo into itself, though this largely depends on the opponent's character and [[DI]]. Moreover, it benefits immensely from [[rage]] thanks to its high base knockback, allowing it to KO at percentages as low as 80% when used near the upper [[blast line]]. The move does have its disadvantages, though: its below average knockback scaling makes it KO considerably later if used near the ground, usually failing to KO under 180%, and it also has high landing lag, deals low damage and consequently low [[shieldstun]], meaning that it is ill-advised to use against grounded opponents. Even with such considerable drawbacks, however, this remains one of Diddy Kong's most used moves overall.
