Ridel submitted a new guide:

A Beginners Guide to King Dedede - To help newer players lean the fundamentals of Dedede

Overview

Dedede in PM is a very……….odd character to play as.

I made a review as well but ill keep this here.
Very well written guide, Everything makes perfect sense and i feel as though you really got the best attributes of Dedede to show. If its a beginner guide, maybe write about How to function in neutral, Follow ups after a throw, or even Basic ways to Gimp, or setup a gimp.

Do you guys know how to aerial waddle dash twice? Is it just airdodging twice or do you use A? Do you have to jump again?

It's done by air-dodging twice, as pressing A would give you no momentum.

Depending on the angle you might also need/want to jump again.

Does Dedede have any bread n butter combos?

Does Dedede have any bread n butter combos?

He's got U-Throw U-Air that works on most of the cast. The last hit of D-Air can combo into F-Air or B-Air. U-Tilt into any aerial. Other then that I can't really think of anything, most of his combos revolve around riding the "reading rainbow" so he doesn't have much bread and butter to work with.
