I was playing against a Ness. Having just respawned I landed, threw a Gordo at an up angle to have it bounce out in front of me. The Ness and I both started Forward Smashes facing each other. He Smashed the Gordo at me as my Smash came down. When it hit my body, red lightning flashed, and I exploded off the stage at a 45° angle going away from Ness. I honestly don't know what caused it and was so aghast that I hit the start instead of saving the replay. =[ My guess is that the baseball bat amplified the Gordo somewhat, and may it got caught between me and my forward Smash further increasing its power? I really don't know. Has anyone else had a Gordo blow them up at 0%? Dedede is a pretty big fella, so I was pretty shaken.

The same happened with another Ness, but he was the one being killed, at 15% or like

If the Ness player was using his F-Smash (the baseball bat), then this is really no surprise. Ness is able to smack certain projectiles with his bat back at his opponents, it can be hard to pull off, but it's quite a great asset for Ness players to learn it.
It can be seen here, and it can be done in every Smash Bros. instalment. The power of the projectile is also amplified, and Gordos hurt on their own, so it's no surprise that it wrecked you.

That video is a charged projectile being amplified many times in an entirely different game. We are talking once, and against one of the heaviest and toughest characters to kill off the top, who was at 0%. That video honestly doesn't hold much relevance here. Furthermore, any attack can send Gordos back at Dedede slightly amplified and is not in any way hard to do. Even more so as the Gordos tend to seek out Dedede. As someone whos bit hit by literally hundreds of Gordos, I can tell you that being 1 shotted at 0% is not a common occurrence, or to be "wrecked" by a single one.

Well, I don't know what to tell you then. Perhaps it's just a terrible glitch, or something worth testing with one of your friends to see if it can be repeated.
That video may be of an entirely different game, but Ness' F-Smash mechanics haven't changed in any Smash Bros. since, and I highly doubt they have changed in this instalment either. The reflected knock-back has always been considerably higher, but whether it should be killing a heavyweight at 0% however, is a completely different matter. It wouldn't be the first time there have been glitches in Smash, Luigi's B-Air on Charizard's Rock Smash (Brawl) leading to Charizard being KO'd and the Turnip / Blaster Black Hole of Death (Melee) to name a few.

I have the replay. The kill is at 1:23.

Definitely look like Dedede's Fsmash is constantly connecting with it by the way he freezes. What I wonder though is why it doesn't bounce back to Ness, as his animation doesn't freeze at all.
Wouldn't be so nice if it had nothing to do with Ness his F-smash, but only with Dedede's.
My friend and I were able to replicate it. Dedede does not need to be forward smashing for it to occur. You just need to sweet spot the Gordo on the tip of the bat. add the h ttp://makeagif.com/i/qm4nZv It doe 85% and then hits with some amount of multiplicative knockback. Due to Dedede's weight+fall speed, I believe he is also the hardest to kill of the top, thx to someone on this boards experiments with rest.
ftfy.
I noticed the first hit missed, was it just not a tipper, or does the angle at which the Gordo approach Ness matter?
Yea I'm finding reflected and knocked back gordos to hit really hard. I pocketed a gordo as a villager a few days ago and sent it back at D3. He sent out another gordo, which knocked mine (villager's) back into me, killing me at 0%. Definitely a tough matchup for villager.
Absolutely, I never said otherwise.

i actually did this yesterday at a tourney to a dedede. though he wasnt at 0 he was at like 40 iirc but my pit down b reflected the gordo back and killed him. looks like theres something wack about the gordos and reflectors

it doesnt have a hitbox unless you use down b2 so i dont think it acts as an attack, i was using default
