Official King Dedede Discussion Thread

[KiddyKong123]

Dee Dee Dee is gonna be my 2nd most used character besides diddy kong. I loved DDD as the bad guy in kirby even though he looks like a good guy.

 

[Dreamking]

I love King Triple D. Looks like he'll be hard to get rid of. I wanted him playable in Melee and now I get my chance.

 

[WingedKnight]

I'd love to trade friend codes with fellow fans of Big D, as soon as I get my Wii online!!! Stupid Error Code 52030......The connection isn't working, supposedly because of all the Wii Wi-Fi traffic. It had better end before the game comes out, or it will get worse!!!

 

[Kazyx]

Yeah, Triple 'D' will be an amazing character, in my opinion. Maybe not the best, but if someone can master him, much like Gimpy did with Bowser, then he could have some major tournament potential. Of course, we'd need to be dedicated to him, and frankly, I'm not quite dedicating myself to one single character. Never have, and never will. It's not how I play. I play more for the joy on it, rather than competitively, like many here do.

I would play competitively, if I had the potential. Alas, I don't. Also I cannot travel around like many and go to the tourneys. But yes, I wouldn't mind getting the friend codes of other possible Triple 'D' players as well. It would be nice to see a group of Dedede players fight against one another, seeing who is the best player of them all.

 

[T-major]

the only character I will (most likely) dedicate myself to mastering is Claus, if he gets in. Dedede is probably second; or maybe Kirby, I haven't decided yet... I know that I will master Claus though. I don't even Play competitively, but I'm going to master Claus anyways. 'cause thats how I roll.

 

[Impossibilities]

King D. is probably my favorite of the villains...kirby was always fun to play when I was very young...and the king's battles were always so epic...I guess Nintendo really is serious about this being the best Smash brothers game out...(and possibly the best Nintendo game soon to be in existance)

 

[Nicktendo]

I want to be known as one of the best DDD players around... I like the whole being associated with a character thing. Like gimpyfish with Bowser, King with jigglypuff, forward with falco, Fumi with yoshi, etc.. I want to be a known DDD player. Ill play others but if DDD is as cool as Im picturing him to be I wouldnt mind maining him at all.

He seems to have such an awesome style.

 

[Machspeed]

Same, I like maining one heavyweight in Smash games, and one medium-light character.
For Melee it was DK, and Mario.

For Brawl, King DDD looks like the most interesting heavyweight to try at this point, in my opinion, so I'll definently give a whack

Spoiler

Get it? Whack? King Dedede uses a hammer? *phailed attempt at being funny*

at maining him. Made a few combo clips of myself in Melee, but never really put it into a movie; I guess I'll try to go competitive with this guy or at least make my name more recognizable in the community.

Looking forward to swapping friend codes with any fellow DDD players when Brawl comes out.

 

[Zsy]

I'm really looking forward to using DeDeDe as my main but I'm worried about his dodging skills and his size. It looks like he's way too easy to hit.

 

[Nicktendo]

Yeah he's huge!

I think its pretty cool. Takes alot more to kill them and makes them stronger. But yes they seem like big targets. Play defensively?

Looking forward to trying a heavyweight in this game.

 

[RPGsFTW]

I just saw that taunt speculation thread so I thought I'd post what I though in here. I think that King Dedede's 3rd taunt will be him doing the peace sign like his pictures in the Kirby games (on the walls and arena floor).

Another thing, I don't think that you will have to be that defensive while playing a big guy. The big guys seem "fixed" (Bowser) now so they might not need to worry any more. And by the looks of King Dedede's recovery + his weight, he seems like he is going to be a difficult opponent to kill.

Now if only I had an available avatar of King Dedede.

 

[Hippochinfat]

lol nubs i bet u any muney he wont b in.

 

[smashbot226]

......


-_-


If you aren't being sarcastic, please head to the nearest roof and jump off of it.

See: my location.

Sarcastic about? . . .

Oh, you meant that @Hippo . . .

 

[Collective of Bears]

Hey, was King Dedede playable at JumpFesta?

 

[Lone Spectator]

No, only Kirby and Wario were added from teh E 4 All demo, with Sonic and DK getting the boot.

Actually, I think King Dedede was the only absent of these events. PT, Lucas and Zelda had videos, while Triple D had nothing.

He had a little clip in part of a video, but it showed nothing new.

 

[Nicktendo]

Can't wait to watch full match videos of Dedede come Japan release time... itll be just 2 and a half weeks before us, but still. Any info as soon as I can get it is great.

Btw, in the video, does anyone see what king ddd is doing after his taunt? It looks like he could be slamming his hammer down (forward smash?) or he might just been throw/hit by ike. It looks like the hammer comes down, and it was pretty fast..

 

[Turbo Grafx-16]

Maining Dedede sounds awesome, he was always my favorite of the Kirby chars, except maybe Waddlez... Could there be a more perfect character?

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

i love dedede. isn't he just made of win

 

[pyroroth]

dedede is probably going to my favorite heavy character

 

[Nicktendo]

man, me and my freind were talking

if Dedede can WOP (wall of pain) like Jigglypuff because of multiple jumps...

Dedede WOP to swallow spit off boundary/alot towards boundary.

could be broken!

 

[Lone Spectator]

I hope his voice actor is different then the one on the show. That southern accent has ntohing to do with him!

 

[Desruprot]

Dedede = Favorite Heavy weight so far, although I may, switch between him and bowser, but Dedede is liky my first alternate (unless fox shows any promise)

 

[Nicktendo]

Speaking of his voice, when he does the groundpound you can hear him say "Hmmm"

btw check out the dedede avatar <-

 

[Dynamism]

You mean his Super Jump?
I love the concept of a slam that's actually "meant" to be used for recovery. It was great with Bowser and Yoshi. Now it goes up and you can cancle it. I just hope it has a decently fast cancle though.
Knock a character up (with Uair, Utilt or Upsmash in a combo) and BAMSLAM!!! FTKO!!!

Dedede looks funny too

 

[WingedKnight]

I was just reading Sakurai's description of Jet Hammer (easily his coolest special!), and I've been interpreting it all wrong! I thought you could walk around while charging up, but it seems I was wrong. Sakurai says you can "walk around with it charged up", so i guess this is kinda like DK or Samus, when fully charged you can walk about, and it will somehow show it's full charge (glowing hammer?). However, he says you can't store by shielding, so that means you have to charge it up fully in one go, or let it go before it's fully charged. No saving of charge when it's almost there, you have to keep charging or let it go. Now, the whole bit about damage increasing, I'm guessing it's backlash like the explosion of Roy's Flare Blade. Anyone else have a different idea of how this move works?

I'm also planning my taunt messages for 3D. They can have 20 chars, spaces included, so I think mine will be "IT'S GOOD TO BE KING" when he lays down, "STOP! HAMMER TIME!!" when he brandishes his hammer at the screen, and "BOW BEFORE YOUR LORD" for whatever his other taunt. Anyone else have ideas for their messages? DON'T STEAL MINE!!

I really hope so. A DK punch type move with the hammer for Dedede would be great! I like the way you think. He didnt say cant have a set charge period, just that you cant save it with the shield button. I hope it works like you said.

And I think "STOP! HAMMER TIME!" is going to be one of everyones... its just so obvious. I dont think you can copyright that, MC hammer already has. I know I'll use it to.

When I make a combo video for Dedede Ill use part of cant touch this for part of it.

 

[Dynamism]

I figured the Waddle Dees would be a great projectile. Dedede is turning out just fine!

Honestly, a year ago, I had a dream and Dedede and Luigi were top tier and ***** everything!!!!!

 

[smashvillain18]

Nice thread you have here. Dedede is going to be a beast. Can't wait to nlock him. Gonna enjoy fighting as him, as well all the characters in brawl. Who knows who's gonna show up. Hopefully, we can all find a place to trade wii codes. If you want to, please save me as a friend and leave me your wii code in a note. I'll reply with my code.

 

[Iboid]

Dedede looks like a good character! I'm so gald he made it in (though it was kinda obvious he'd make it in this time... sort of.)

As you can tell form his Up B, it looks as he may be the lightest Heavy Character. He can jump the highest, where as DK and Bowser do there spins. Hopefully this means he'll be the fastest, but he may not.

He'll definitally be one of my first characters I play as in Brawl.

 

[Nicktendo]

Japanese people are describing him as the "new melee bowser".. I hope he isn't that bad, really.

 

[Foe]

He is heavy + can float (Kirby jump) which is cool.

 

[5150]

Japanese people are describing him as the "new melee bowser".. I hope he isn't that bad, really.

he most likely is. i mean look at the facts (#3 is a speculation tho)

#1 his moves come out kinda fast but have alot of lag
#2 his b moves aren't particularly useful, except his overb
*WARNING NOT CONFIRMED* #3 he PROBABLY doesn't have combos

yep he's the new bowser, and thats why im maining him.

 

[Little England]

He is heavy + can float (Kirby jump) which is cool.

I think this is a great combination of traits. Imagine the possibilities of edge guarding! Use all your jumps and you still have your Up-B

Two new brawl videos, has some footage of Dedede!

Shows 2 more moves of his, his down smash and down air.

Down smash looks really powerful, down air looks really quick.

His down smash he swings his hammer all around, his down air he points it straight down.

Looks like he moves slowly (walking/dash)

He looks awesome.

 

[Tomato Kirby]

I'm also planning my taunt messages for 3D. They can have 20 chars, spaces included, so I think mine will be "IT'S GOOD TO BE KING" when he lays down, "STOP! HAMMER TIME!!" when he brandishes his hammer at the screen, and "BOW BEFORE YOUR LORD" for whatever his other taunt. Anyone else have ideas for their messages? DON'T STEAL MINE!!

How about "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD," "GET OUT OF MY THRONE ROOM," and "FETCH ME MY CHAIR."

Or if it allows this many words, "YOU THOUGHT ONLY META-KNIGHT WAS THIS GOOD."


Nickendo, I will have a look at those movies...

 

[WingedKnight]

Dedede looks slow, but I can deal. He doesn't look RIDICULOUSLY slow. I'm happy with the speed he's got, specially since he has quick moves. Apparently SDDD Jump has a lot of mobility and is a GREAT move. I've also heard that WD Toss is very quick, pretty strong, and easily spammable. Inhale, I've been getting very mixed reviews, what do you guys think? Jet Hammer, I've heard nothing. Overall, he is as great as I hoped, really strong and an awesome recovery.

 

[Nicktendo]

Inhale has got mixed reviews. Jet hammer from a guy who played said was ultra powerful but really really slow, he said maybe it could be in a setup or edgeguard or something he couldnt know from one match. Just that it was uber slow, and it worked like marths charge b

his dash looks alright. His moves are mostly quick which is great. Cant wait to try them.

And hell yes Ill spam waddle dees all day long! The guy who played it said it was one of his best moves. Its awesome you can inhale them to and spit them as star missiles like I thought

 

[WingedKnight]

So can you walk around while charging Jet Hammer? I'll mostly use that for edgeguarding and clearing large areas in free-for-alls. Also, what is Inhale's most practical use? Does it damage enemies who are hit by star missiles? Would that be the best way to use it (as it seems that it doesn't damage the "spitee" too much)? I wonder how far it shoots. Good thing about Waddle Dee ammo, too bad it can't be angled. Man, he just seems so great. I planned on spamming WD Toss anyways . Just wonder how many can be "in play" and if the Dees do(o) damage while they walk about.

Dedede will deffo be my main!! He doesn't look too slow from what I've seen, I'll be able to put up with the lack of speed. His great recovery and quick moves (plus his attitude) make up for his speed. Is his dash falling flat on his face like I had hoped? BTW< did anyone notice him pumping the hammer over his head in the 6 min "how-to" video? Looks like a taunt, either his previously unknown third taunt or part of his other hammer taunt.

Sorry for all the questions and musings, but it is discussion, and I'm so psyched about him!!
