Title: SSBB: Diddy's Kong Quest

Diddy Kong has recently appeared in several Mario spin-off games.  Now DK's buddy enters the arena as the latest fighter to be unveiled for Super Smash Bros. Brawl (http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/games/ssbb).  The slightly late update on Smash Bros. DOJO notes that Diddy's moves aren't sufficiently captured by screenshots.  It also mentions that Diddy brings along some technological moves: the Rocketbarrel Boost and the Peanut Pop Gun.  See the rest of Diddy's screens at the link below.

I wasn't expecting this.  This makes me wonder how many characters they are really going to have.

He can fly real high with his jetpack on. With his pistols out, he's one cool Kong.

Awesome! You gotta love Diddy Kong! And to think that I went to bed before this update!

I always figured this would go too much into Rare territory, but... sure, why not?

I wonder just how fast he'll be.

Had to happen eventually, I guess.
HANG ON...

And from where did these teeth come!?

Diddy is probably going to sound really annoying, that's for sure.

I'll kill you.

And why is that?

You know what you doing.

I see no problem with that. Does this mean I win?

At least they aren't showing every waking moment and look ridiculously white and square.

Finally someone else from the DK series. Now if we could get someone for Yoshi and Wario...

Yoshi's universe... I don't quite see anyone else who would fit (THAT IS NOT AN OBSCURE, UNNECESSARY BOSS WHO WOULD DO NOTHING BUT LOOK COOL). Please do not say Birdo belongs in Brawl. Yoshi might as well be tied in with "Team Mario" and have the Mushroom Emblem and SMB victory music... or perhaps not. It doesn't seem like it'd be quite right... It would makes just as much sense as Bowser sharing Mario's emblem and victory jingle--if you think, the jingle Bowser WANTS to hear is Mario's game over music.
Perhaps, every character should have their own victory tune, regardless of whose "team" their emblem indicates? Peach's would be the short piece heard when you save her in SMB. Ganondorf's would be the music heard when you die in Ocarina of Time, maybe (or perhaps in Twilight Princess... hang on, I don't remember TP's death music....).

Bowser should have a rock version of the SMB victory, or maybe a minor key version.
Title: Re: SSBB: Diddy's Kong Quest
Post by: MEGAߥTE on August 23, 2007, 07:04:27 PM
Nah, Bowser has his own themes.  The one from SM64 would do well.

I just find it hard to picture that in the form of a six-second snippet. That's all.

When I saw this update 2 days ago, I was like "Finally."

I think having chimp noises going on throughout battles will be great!

Chimps don't have tails.

Monkey noises, chimp noises.  They seem interchangeable to me.

Being the anomaly that I am, I loved Donkey Kong 64.  Thus, when I read that Diddy will use his peanut gun, something inside of me burst with nostalgia.  :)
...And it hurt terribly.

I've recently been playing DK64 out of celebration. It seems a lot easier than I remember. 0_o

I could totally go for some DKC2 right now. Too bad the GBA port is garbage...

Garbage!? How so?

I thought it was an awesome update to an already awesome game.

The problem is "updating" games at all.

Well... I can't argue with that, but some are better than others, that's for sure.
