On release, top professionals immediately noticed his weaknesses, which include inconsistent KO'ing at higher percent and Banana having higher startup. Many of Diddy Kong's top players either dropped him in favor of other characters ({{Sm|MVD}} and {{Sm|Zinoto}}) or quit competitive play altogether ({{Sm|ZeRo}}). In the early months of ''Ultimate'', Diddy was perceived as a mid-tier character. | ||
When Patch 3.1.0. dropped, Diddy received a multitude of buffs to his kit to compensate for his main problem of KOing. Some players further optimized Diddy's moveset, such as an infinite being discovered on platforms, which was named the Pyramid Scheme. In recent times, many of Diddy's players have consistently done well in larger tournaments compared to the past. {{Sm|Aaron|p=Florida}}, {{Sm|Dakpo}}, {{Sm|Rivers}}, and {{Sm|Legit}} have attained respectable placements. In addition, Dakpo has notably upset {{Sm|Glutonny}} while even utilizing the infamous pyramid scheme infinite in {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}, and {{Sm|Player-1}} has upset {{Sm|Marss}} in {{Trn|CEO Dreamland 2020}}. Because of this, the general opinion of Diddy Kong has been on a noticeable rise lately, with some players, such as {{Sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|Maister}}, and {{Sm|ZeRo}}, viewing him as a solid high-tier character, with {{Sm|Dabuz}} going as far to say that he is a top-tier character. | When Patch 3.1.0. dropped, Diddy received a multitude of buffs to his kit to compensate for his main problem of KOing.
