Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Is it just me, or are all of Diddy Kong's B Moves going to have a chance to backfire? His Peanut Shooter can explode on him and his Rocketbarrels can fall off mid flight.
Except for the fact they'll switch them right back in until you run out of Roar PP. I fail to see how this can do anything other than sit around pointlessly, especially after using it on Shoddy. It's just so EASY to outstall this thing. It doesn't matter that they can't harm you-they send in...
With Electivire, you have to switch in something that fears Electivire or just get a good switch in, predict, and if they switch in something slower that you can finish off after your initial move, finish it. That's how I see it anyway.
I know what to say about Diddy Kong.
He is going to be a ranged light person (presumably anyway. He has a peanut launcher for his neutral, and is known for being a fast kong). This update is awesome!
It has a 99% chance of being true. Considering this is an official NINTENDO magazine, I don't think they would lie, especially at how this could rile up people, and they'd be pissed at Nintendo Power for lying. That kind of stuff is saved for April Fools.
This magazine scan is from Nintendo Power. It's not even April yet, so this has a 99% chance of being true, considering Nintendo Power is the official Nintendo Magazine.
