Use Bair, use Dtilt and Ftilt, use grabs...don't use down smash as much...if anything use forward smash more. Be more aggressive. Play more aerial...and dodge...a lot...and stuff...

I'll post some vids eventually.

i do he Dsmash more because its faster and pika in this case tends to stop it befor it hits
when i do the Fsmash
now Dtilt thats down tilt right?
i try to get grabs off but again pika and what i believe to be its uber cheapness
his me with somehting that stops it
but i need to practice more
i know i dont suck that bad at this game

It's really hard to critique your DDD on your playing a cpu pikachu. First of all, it's a cpu with reflexes and habits you're not really going to face against people forcing you to react in a way which isn't consistent with how you play against most people.
Second of all, it's pikachu, one of the worst match ups for DDD because of his speed. Because of that, you're going to play more defensively which doesn't show much of your game.

Try uploading videos against human opponents with more varied characters.

i just watched abit of your vid and before u put your ddd in the real world u should go to practice mode and study the range and speed of his ground moves, then his airs and smashes. that should put you on the path to glory.

Dedede is hard to use, but it's possible to use him right.

For reliable killing moves, the u-tilt and d-tilt are some good examples. I'd stay away from the smash attacks since they're slow and quite predictable. In terms of when the foe is close, grab and throw them. The Jet Hammer doesn't have much range, but it can be Dedede's trump card if used for edge-guarding.

Dedede's main problem is dealing with speedy targets. They can easily wipe him out once they know how he fights.

I cant judge stuff from watching a FFA. Post a vid of you versing someone in a 1v1. That's how most people like to see it when we're 'critiquing'.

My biggest tip for you are 3 things:

Waddle Dee spam (Hope for a Gordo; you get lucky more times than you'd think)

Ftilt: good reach

know how to dodge. You're going to need it big-time against fast characters.

Don't spam if they're too close however, the lag on that thing can get you beat down.

I use Fsmash a lot. Surprised? Anybody? It's good. Dsmash is really fast, and it's nice that it's multi-directional. I use it occasionally to hit somebody who is roll happy...but the range on it...overall...just makes it mediocre.

Can't grab somebody cause they're too fast? That's where the dodging and stuff come in. If you see somebody using a move that lags, well, you dodge that move, and grab. Dthrow to Ftilt and then go ahead and spam if you want.

Don't mecha-hammer...it's laggy, weak, and short ranged. It also hurts DDD?? So bad.

Nair is your interference move, dair should be hopped, fair is a good KO...but tricky, and bair is your best friend. Practice running forward, slamming back on the control stick, and then immediately jumping into a Bair.

Dash attack, really laggy, but a good KO move in a pinch. Pretty good tech chase.

Use Dtilt, use ftilt, win.

I don't agree with using f-tilt too much. It's good range, but easily punishable if they predict it, which they will if you over use it. Plus, it doesn't do much damage.

Learning to use Bair in multiple situations and shield grabbing is very important for DDD.

are you doods blind, this is against a lvl 9 cpu...

you almost got owned by it, i didnt even bother watching the rest.
you spam at the wrong time, you dont jump before you toss waddles, and it looks like you dont know how to change their trajectory.

you want to do tourneys? you wont be playing cpus at tourneys.
