My problem with Diddy Kong's title is not its accuracy or lack thereof. My problem is that it's incredibly uninspired and unimpressive. At least generic titles like Master of Stealth or King of the Jungle sound somewhat impressive and intimidating. At least nonthreatening titles like Pika Pika! or The Visionary are mildly clever. With Diddy Kong, it's just...

"He flips around a lot."

"The Acrobat. That's his title."

"Good enough."

Is it weird I actually think The Acrobat is a cool title?

To be fair, in the context of smash, high mobility is a pretty scary thing to fight.

I sure said that!

Diddy Kong always annoys the hell out of me when I fight him...

I'm actually having trouble thinking of another appropriate Diddy-centric title that sounds good.

The Peanut Marksman? The Cartwheeling.... Chimp?

No...

I have a message from another time...

He already had a title in DK 64, actually.

The Champ of Chimps, I believe.

[up][up]At least those titles apply to Diddy Kong exclusively. The Acrobat could just as easily be Sheik's or Wii Fit Trainer's or Zero-Suit Samus'...

Why not call him something that relates to music? We know from DKC 2 Diddy has a boombox and in DKC 64 he uses a guitar.

I'm fond of "The Lightweight Chimpion".

Featuring bad wordplay and given his tail, an inaccurate animal designation.

It's still a better title than "Blue Metal Hero"

I mean, Come on.

Couldn't they have called Mega Man the Blue Bomber? I mean, that is his nickname.

Diddy Kong could have been "Second Banana", but that'd be stealing Luigi's thunder. tongue

[up]Are you implying Diddy is pulling second banana to the second banana?

Being second is the only thing Luigi is first at.

I laughed out loud. Well done.

How about... "the Kongquistador"? Calling him a second banana doesn't work, I think. Especially since he's playable more times in the Country series than Donkey is.

New pic is up. Master Core does appear in two-player Classic, but is stronger to compensate. That being said, Master Fortress is single-player only.

It IS b-...no its just you.

Being a pic from the Wii-U version just makes it look that way.

Yes.

Hey, who would win in a fight, Tabuu or Master Core.

Tabuu captured Master Hand, but since Master Core is the essence of both hands, maybe it'd win out over him.

Master Core's got Off-Waves too, yo- Sit around for like a minute when you've revealed its true form and you'll see.

I sure said that!
