Dedede's Shield.

I haven't gotten to see much of it. Can anyone tell me how far from his body it actually goes? Larger characters tend to have poor potential for Powershielding and seeing as it's a large part of my game... Yeah...

So has anyone seen the approximate size of his shield? Of the videos I've watched, it would seem that people don't utilize the shield as much as they should.

It seems pretty good. Here are 2 competitive vids of Dedede that were just posted today. They utilized it pretty well.

I just saw those and they've only confused me more. I see Dedede Powershielding things like Toon Link's Dair, but if it were in Melee it would've hit him. It looks like the shielding physics have changed in Brawl as well.
