dedede's down tilt

[turbo_ja]

...is simply AMAZING. haha

it stops certain firefoxes at certain angles (not directly under i believe, i haven't done it on a consistent basis), not to mention many other up+b s from various other characters. it reminds me of the down-tilt edgeguard of marth in melee. quite effective imo

It is a lovely move haha.

I agree, his dtilt is my saving grace, It protected me from death situations many times.

Doing a spot dodge into down tilt is AWESOME.

 

[PinkPwnageFrenzy]

His down tilt is really good, but you have to start it from a chill for best effect.

i actually find a spot dodge + downsmash very handy, kind of similar to samus' spotdodge + downsmash

spotdodge -> dsmash is king

I've never tried dtilt on a firefox...it really works? awesome.

Personally after a spotdodge I usually utilt, but he has alot of good options from dodge. I usually use his ftilt more than down if I need a poke, but I use down sometimes too. I love all of his tilts.

D tilt is awesome in the right situations.

1. What is a spotdodge? ._.
2. Whats the right situation for D-tilt?

D-tilt is probably the only move I almost never do with DDD . Which is weird because everytime I use it I seem to do well with it.

Looks awesome thats for sure ^^

Im a noob what is down titlt? Down + A in the air or the ground is that even what down tilt means

 

[Thamoo]

d-tilt is while on the ground.

The down + A attack while in the air is called a Dair (or D-air)

 

[handsockpuppet]

I don't normally use the D-tilt (which is weird, because I used it all the time when playing melee (I used Roy)), but now that I read this, I guess it could be an edgeguarding tactic, though I personally jump of the edge and use the bair.

Spot Dodge is pressing down from the shield. It's highly useful in Brawl, but I don't recall it seeing used often in Melee (correct me if I'm wrong, by all means).

 

[MLG Mune]

i use it as a ko move or to keep distance.
