He's actually ok imo, better than Falco for sure.
I personally like Diddy because his bananas have actually more utility in doubles when used right. On top of good punish oos, they help your partner out a ton (if your partner's in trouble/getting murdered, throwing a banana in the fray resets the situation really well), and banana can help your partner out really well if they know how to use it. Diddy also has a really good recovery and is hard to land hits on him safely, making him a deceptive stock tank (my partner and I do a quasi-anubis w/ Diddy, and even though he's still a mostly on-stage character, he makes himself hard to hit and helps me get out of sticky 2v1 situations, while I cover the air to close off the opponent's escape from him in turn, plus AS is guaranteed on slipping opponents pretty much, it's awesome). He's still good imo, it's just that other characters rise so much from their own utility in doubles.
It's funny, a lot of these claims seem like they come from a lack of review of results. If you've looked at how consistent some characters are, you would seriously reconsider how badly some chars have been rated (and conversely, how worse some chars can be in doubles).
