If you are getting countered a lot, it just means you are being too predictable. Has nothing to do with the matchup IMO. Also, keep in mind that basically everything in this thread is insanely old.

All of them. The easiest to practice on are probably big floaty heavies like Ganon. The hardest are probably tiny characters and/or super floaties like Puff. It's also important to know how to combo the fast-fallers (spacies etc) because you'll need to approach your combos far differently...

This is true, but Dedede can turn a lot of other characters into combo food pretty easily too (and/or kill them in only a few hits). And yeah, Dedede's grab game is amazing, just don't rely TOO heavily on it, because he can have a really difficult time getting grabs in general, and if you go...

Nerfs. Too many nerfs.

You want to use Gamecube controllers.

Everyone is different, but the key is to find your own personal balance between your drive to get better and the overall enjoyment you are getting from the game and tournament scene at the time. There are also a lot of other things you can do to minimize your need for smash hiatuses...

Tournament Organizers decide what stages are legal, and can even rework the stagelist to show their own custom stage select screens, since it's a mod anyway. Project M still has a constantly evolving metagame, and sometimes stage lists should be tweaked to prevent certain types of character...

Yeah Delfino's and Bowser's are pretty interchangeable. Most regions use either one or the other, but not both. Usually as a Starter stage, but I guess there may be some regions that still use Final Destination or Dream Land as a starter instead? Yoshi's Brawl and Distant Planet are mostly...

Except you seem to have forgotten that Dragon types resist Water moves! Checkmate!

Yeah, your picks rotate back to the first one after your last one dies. The same thing happens if you only pick 3 characters in a 4-stock match: your fourth character will be the same as your first. For example: Player1: Characters 1, 2, 3, 4 Player2: Characters A, B, C, D If Player2 runs...

Yes... except... DotA was always supported by the original game creators. Project M never had that luxury. But who knows... maybe one day we can get our own "League of Legends". ;)

For a more current response: Cargo Up-Throw is almost always your best bet. Grab -> Cargo -> take a step or two if needed -> Jump -> Up-Throw -> Double Jump -> Profit This leads into all kinds of followups at most percentages for almost every character. Most notably, fully charged Neutral B or...

I'm not a DDD main, so basically all I'm going to say is: don't let your enemies get close to you. Ever. Unless you are grabbing them or they are in full hitstun. Space them out completely, and combo and kill them as early as possible. That seems to be the only way to succeed at Dedede. Also...

The main thing is that... very few people really understand the Dedede matchup... just because pretty much no one actually plays Dedede lol This happens often with some of my less experienced friends... I pick up a new character they don't know how to fight, and trounce them repeatedly and...

You have to also turn every individual item off one by one.
