Good Seconds to complement Dedede

[SalsaSavant]

We're all here because we want to use D3, but we all know he has a few less than good matchups. What sort of other characters complement The King?

For example, D3 has problems with Sheik and Toon Link. What character would cover those weaknesses while providing unique strengths Dedede doesn't have?

I would think that a character with low starting and ending lag, like Wii Fit Trainer. Whenever I have trouble with a character while playing as DDD, I switch to Trainer.

Dedede and Meta Knight complement each other very well, and they're both from the same series. +10 for the coolness factor.

I find Wario to be a great secondary because he's very good against projectile users and has an exceptional punish game, two things that Dedede has some trouble with. Another reason he's helpful is because many of the two characters' features are similar, namely good aerials and fantastic recovery, meaning you don't have to completely change your mindset. Heck, if you go as far as to use Wario's inhaling chomp custom their standard specials are practically the same move.
