I dunno if that is the general opinion, but I read it on some official matchup thread.
Basically, I *hate* dedede. My brother plays him exclusively, and during lucas vs. dedede i just want to shoot myself. I don't understand how lucas supposedly has an advantage. The waddle-dees block my projectile, and when I finally try to approach he just shield grabs me. I know, I know, "use good spacing". But normally that ftilt or dtilt is quick enough to catch me if he misses his grab, not to mention dedede's grab range is HUGE. He lasts forever, and is smart enough with his recovery to dodge the slow pk thunder. Going off the stage is murder.
Even though I have to deal with all this ****, I still win more than I lose. That isn't really saying much though, I won about 100% of my melee games vs. my brother, no matter who I used. I know people are going to say "just play how you do when you beat him"- but that's the thing. He isn't *that* good; he makes a bunch of mistakes. He's about an average (maybe slightly above average) dedede player. It's scary to think what the amazing dedede's will be like to play against..
Basically what I'm trying to ask: what are some USEFUL tips against dedede? ie: best stages, how to properly space, evening out the projectile game, etc.
Notes: I effectively use the bstick, I can zap jump, I know that his nair, dair are good, but dedede's utilt ***** them both
I love lucas, I'm not ready to give up on him.. but man, wario has been so good to me...
