Better Waddledee Projectile

[Keta]

I'm not sure if someone has said anything about this or not.. but I was playing wifi, and I accidently fsmashed a Waddledee, and it went flying towards my opponent hitting him and killing him off to the side. I figure this could very easily be used as a projectile.

It could, but it would be similar to the soccer ball problem, hard to aim, and difficult to land

 

[Giga Hand]

It's like the Falcon Punch. Hard to land, but definitely worth it. Also, you're not just limited to the Fsmash, you can use most any attack.

Hmm, I've never hit a player with a flying waddle dee. Something to try, didn't know it did damage.

I'm thinking ftilt and dtilt would be better moves to hit WDees at people... would be a fun trick to master and it might come in handy every now and then. I'll do a bit of testing later to see if different moves launch WDees at different trajectories.

Yea I was just using that before. The problem is, when you throw it, you have to run it down first. Now this could be countered by getting hit while throwing it (hard) or by throwing it at someone nearby (risky). Now the real problem is actually hitting someone with it.

When a waddledee falls, I sometimes grab it. all you have to do is press A on it, and he immediately throws it. In many ways I consider DDD's waddledees better then Peach's turnips.

Well, if Dedede can do this, I suppose other characters can do this as well, probably giving them a well-needed projectile, even if it's hard to aim.

That screws me over SO much! I got to do a sh aerial or something, and picks that little bugger up instead and screws everything! I don't like it. =\

yeah I've seen this a lot in ddd vids. MUCH faster than throwing more waddledees.

I agree. I consider wandering waddledees an enormous liability. Being able to reuse them has very little value because you can just pull out another one if need be. But the game FORCING you to re-throw them if you do an aerial (or some other move) usually has serious consequences, sometimes costing you the stock.

So different attacks do knock them different ways with different speeds, but it's really hard to get going as dedede is so slow and the waddledees walk fairly fast. I don't see hitting waddledees at people to be a very useful strat... it takes too much to get it going in-game.
