ALL HAIL THE KING! (Work In Progress. I'll finish as soon as I can!)

Pretty great guide. Definitely the best guide for the King on Smashboards. Only problem is the link to the non-existent YouTube channel. It would be nice to see how all of this plays out. But it's fine. Please remove the link though, it's pretty annoying.

Fantastic guide for my main. Good show!

This is the guide I have been looking for. Packed with innovative information I've never seen before, This is my new D3 handbook.

Pretty optimum quality guide you made here. Though some of the match-ups (especially Jigglypuff) are kinda screwed up because most good Jigglypuffs will only be found on the Wii U version along with other characters whom are hampered by the 3DS.

Wow. You know, I can really use this guide to try and improve my Dedede. Very helpful and informative, thank you.

I shall study this guide. I shall emulate this into my game. This guide is great, keep up the great work.

Great guide!! Thoroughly explains 3Ds matchups and strengths

It is obvious that you have put a lot of time and effort into this guide, and there is some very helpful advice in here that has improved my dedede game immensely (i.e. Nair fast fall, short gordo + Fsmash edgeguard, and Dthrow combos), however some of the advice you gave in this guide just doesn't seem to work for me. I know that all of this is most likely just lack of skill on my part, but I felt like I should mention it. Firstly, Your strategy of waiting for your opponent to charge, then dodging and counterattacking seems to work on very few people. Most characters either are too fast to dodge in time reliably, or play on the defensive themselves, pelting me with projectiles which usually reflect gordos, forcing me to take to the air, where I feel dedede plays his best. Also, you seem to stress using swallow too much. I agree that it has good uses, but it isn't really one of Dedede's go-to moves in my opinion. Also, while the robin matchup in this guide is a 1, I really think it should at least be a 2, at least for the robins I've faced. There are also a few things I think are worth mentioning in this guide, like how if dedede is being edgeguarded, and your opponent is close to the edge, you can hit them with an up air while safely below the ledge, making them think twice about standing there. On that note, Dedede's up air is fantastic, as it goes through ledges, will still hit someone if they counter it, has a pretty good upwards reach, is a fast move, hits even at Dedede's hands/belly, and can KO early near the top of the stage. Also, it is worth mentioning that a down tilt can hit back a reflected gordo without much skill involved in timing. Overall, however, this is an excellent guide! I love the individual character matchup tips, the detailed analysis on the effects of each of Dedede's attacks, and the large amount of content! Easily the best dedede guide I have found yet.

Edit: after playing dedede for a while now, I take back everything I said about swallow. It is an amazing move that covers your landings, is great to use when you want to see what your opponent will do, and can not only end combos, but start some when opponents react predictably once spat out. Also, you say that you have no more fives to give out, but what about sonic? Do you not have trouble with him? If not, I would really like some advice on how to touch him.

Great all around guide! As a Dedede main I like to take in as much info about him as I can. Looking forward to more tips & tricks as they are found

This is a very informative guide that helped me a lot. I now plan on using Dedede as a pocket character since I love heavies :D

I've been maining king dedede since brawl and I always love to read new tips and tricks to utilize while playing him, from my experience he is a punish heavy character and a read heavy character with a high risk, high reward style, the combos and match ups interest me the most, as far as the combos I never thought of utilizing the tilts in them unless I got the read since i feel dedede does a little better in the air. My biggest problem is characters with a good projectile game, i find myself losing to link and mario the hardest as well as sheik sometimes, aproaching is a pain and it's very easy to fall into traps, my friends toon link is the bane of my existence, almost all his moves push me away so most quick punishes have a very short gap . Even so I love the character and plan on repping him in tournies, so I want to learn all I can and this guide has given me helpful information, thanks.

Great guide, but I think that some of your character analyses are bit misguided. There's no way that Link is anything less than a 5. I also think you're overestimating the benefit of inhale. The reason you don't see many people using it is because it's often unreliable.The end lag is atrocious, especially if you accidentally inhale a projectile, and there are better ways to set up a combo (down throw, down tilt, etc.)

I'm trying to play Dedede competitively, and this has helped a LOT! Thanks for the amazing guide, and keep up the good work! Hope to read more as you update.

Great guide! It's definitely increased my interest in and knowledge of one of my favorite Sm4sh characters. Looking forward to more updates!

Thanks for creating such a great guide on an underused character. I appreciated your opinion on several matchups

Solid. Id like to see your opinion on matches like Sonic, Fox, and CFalcon as I usually have a hard time with those.

Great job on the guide. I just starting playing Dedede about a week ago and this guide has given me some imformation i direly needed.

This is great! Keep updating!

Very nice and detailed, good job make a fantastic guide on an underused character. Too bad you are lacking a Wii U. The holiday just came by, maybe you can spare some money for one.
