This makes sense. I forgot about gnes and the meatrider dude lol. Diddy does counter snake, falco (imo), d3, and beasts wario amongst some of the higher tier characters though. I don't know much about his "meta game" development ( in america, but i seen some crazy diddys in japanese matches that play completely different ), but he is still a hard character to overcome.
Diddy vs Snake matchup: 45:55 slight disadvantage
Diddy vs Falco(right now I think your opinion is very much flawed since you say you don't know much about his meta game and you also say you haven't looked at official matchup ratios in a while): 45:55 slight disadvantage
Diddy vs D3: 50:50 even
Diddy vs Wario 45:55 slight disadvantage
Diddy may be a hard character to overcome for yourself but the talented American players are getting to know the matchup and Diddy is not one of the top threats anymore. Matchups were taken from smashboards btw and in no way do they show diddy is a counter to any high tier. 70:30 matchup is a counter not 45:55, that's a disadvantage.
Also, what you see is what you see but that doesn't mean what you are seeing is the best that you can see.
