Diddy Kong isn't exactly overpowered. Sure, the learning curve is super low, but characters like Mr. Game and Watch are low tier only because of their curves (and trust me, MGW's potential is equal to if not exceeding Diddy Kong's). Tier is also based on tournament placement of characters. Jtails, one poster mentioned in this article, is a really good player, and didn't win just because of his character. Sure, little DKJ has DThrow+UAir, but what about Jigglypuff's UTilt+DSpec? Or Marth's DThrow+BAir+FAir+FAir+FSmash? Rosalina has infinite Standard-A. Link and Toon Link have the godliest projectile game. Sure, you might say you could counter those characters, and you can't counter Diddy. Well, Sheik has less counters than Diddy, and no one's complaining about her, are they?
