Avoid future slip-ups against Diddy Kong with the Beefy Smash Doods’ guide for dealing with the banana

Diddy Kong’s Banana Toss is one of the most maligned moves in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. As a pressure tool, a trap and a combo starter, the banana can strike fear into the heart of any Smasher, regardless of their skill level. To stop any future slip-ups, the Beefy Smash Doods have created a special anti-banana guide (something I’d never thought I’d write) so players can better deal with Diddy’s devilish projectile.

Certain characters can dash straight over Diddy’s banana peel, as the opening frames of their dash animation actually have their feet floating off the ground. Captain Falcon, Mario, Luigi, Dr. Mario, Link, Jigglypuff, Charizard, Wii Fit Trainer, Mewtwo, Samus and Diddy can all dash over the banana. For some characters, it is impossible to dash over the banana if you’re standing on the left side of the screen.

If you’re not one of these select few characters, certain aerial moves can clash with the banana peel, destroying the projectile and cancelling the recovery frames of that move. Sheik players commonly do this with down air, but most other characters are capable of this tactic as well. Experiment with your main and see what moves can neutralize this pesky peel.

BoxeR-King helps you spot the difference between Tekken 7’s Giant Swing and Shining Wizard startup animations

Have you been practicing your throw breaking in Tekken 7? When we made our throw break exercise video, it was with the express purpose of training you to break most throw mix-ups in the game. In your Tekken Journey, there is a level beyond what that video can prepare you for: distinguishing King’s Giant Swing and Shining Wizard.

BoxeR-King believes it is realistic to eventually eliminate this “mix-up,” and has some tips for practicing how to recognize and differentiate the two powerful command grabs. If you’ve moved beyond simply breaking traditional grabs and are ready to challenge yourself, you should give BoxeR-King’s lessons a try!

ARMS version 3.2 is out now — here’s everything that’s changed

ARMS much-awaited version 3.2 patch is finally out on Nintendo Switch. Despite being an incremental patch, the update adds some significant features such as an achievement system, and a replay list.

In addition to the aforementioned features, the update also adds some minor fixes, including some control changes for replays, as well as bug fixes. One big addition is that of the robotic Spring Man clone that challenges players during Grand Prix mode.

Of course, the update also brings with it some balance changes to the games cast. For those interested, you can check them out, alongside all of the other changes in the patch below.

    • Replay data is automatically deleted when necessary, starting with the oldest data.
