I havent even really heard of any foreign D3 players other than Buuman, LOL

 

[Buuman]

I know it's the weirdest thing. All the other good Dedede players can play each other and exchange strats. I'm up here all by myself representin' the king. I have to be innovative xD

 

[CRASHiC]

where would that be? Florida?

Yeah Florida, 3 if you count Seibrik

 

[dawall250]

buuman you live in new england? which state? I'm from boston myself, and i'm planning on getting into the tournament scene soon, so it'd be cool if i saw you at some.

Foreign? lol New England = Maine+Massachusetts+Rhode Island+Connecticut+New Hampshire+Vermont
Geography Fail.

 

[CRASHiC]

Sexy Puma is best Dededee in Europe I believe.

 

[Gates]

You mean The Sex Puma?

He's from Florida.

 

[sMexy-Blu]

I was gonna say that too Gates lol u beat me to it.

I think hes talking about someone else.

 

[DtJ Hilt]

are the percentages for what can be pulled from DDD's side special known? I was just wondering if anyone had tested this yet.

 

[Jupz]

Yeah, I think its around 70% for a waddle dee, 22% for a waddle doo and 8% for a gordo. The only one im sure of is the gordo one but they rest are also accurate.

 

[Commander_Beef]

You're very close juppies. It's :
70%=Waddle Dee
21%=Waddle Doo
8%=Gordo

The other 1% is added up from the decimals of the three servants, but who cares about it =).

 

[Jupz]

Ah I was just 1% off lol

 

[tRoll King]

Just curious if anyone else noticed that when D3 faces left and up-taunts, his audio and animation sync is off. When you do it to the right it's synced perfectly.

 

[Jupz]

Lol I never realized that

 

[DZLE]

Whoah, that is totally wild. Hahaha its unsynced!

 

[Corrupted]

Isn't SC grabbing out of dash always better than dash grab. Its like one frame slower and has slightly more range without the horrible ending lag if you miss.

 

[sMexy-Blu]

It is, you're a smart boy.

 

[DZLE]

Smexy... Be nice.

And yes, Corrupted, that is correct.

Also, some CG's can ONLY BE PERFORMED through SCG's. Like luigi.

 

[sMexy-Blu]

I wasn't being rude if you think I was sorry, you can't express emotions on the internet.

 

[RATED]

NO johns! ( nah I am just kidding)

 

[sMexy-Blu]

Btw anyone here have tried out B+? (Brawl+)

It seems that d3 lost his metagame (lololololol) ...

All the Dthrow can do now is setup for tech chase.

Bair to Fair combos are sexier on B+

D3 is still good but I think he is worser but that is just my opinion.

 

[CRASHiC]

Dededee is one example of how Brawl+ will never be as balanced as they wish.
Any system will favor play styles of certain characters.
Dededee's move are not made for combos. He has limited combo potential, and can be easily comboed.
Characters like ZSS, Marth, and Fox will all **** in Brawl+

 

[Coney]

I can't really use DDD in B+. I've tried. He's just...not fun. You can't chase people around because of your lower horizonal movement speed, and it means you get combo'd to hell.

Ness is my B+ dude. :3

 

[sMexy-Blu]

I main Falcon in B+

That means I'm manlier than you.

 

[tekkie]

SC grabbing

I'm trying to imagine what SC stands for and failing. Short cancel?

Aaanyways, if I'm looking to get decent with DDD, what should I work on? I'll be looking at the guide and whatnot. Any specific things (besides chaingrabs) that make him different from other characters and how to use them? What air moves have landing lag? Where the hell does nair hit, anyways?

In short, how is Dedede ideally used?

 

[Gates]

SC stands for Sheild Cancel. Nair's hitbos is his whole body but it doesn't extend much from there.

 

[tekkie]

SC stands for Sheild Cancel.

Is it different from a shield grab?

 

[Gates]

It is in the sense that it's from a dash and if you do it right you shouldn't see the shield pop up (or if you do it'll only be very briefly).

 

[Commander_Beef]

Here is an interesting question. . .
King Dedede's Waddle Dees get stale every time you throw one, so when you do the lagless throw where you pick it up with "A", will it add to the staleness? Or is the "A" toss a separate move?

Very, very, very good question.

I dont even know the answer to this one, nor have i even thought about it o.o
I will do some testing on this tonight after work and let you guys know.
That will be awhile though... so if someone else knows the answer/can test now, do it.

 

[sMexy-Blu]

I don't know it either.

You should ask Buuman he knows everything about move staleness.

 

[regal]

I'm new to D3, and while i understand the CG i just need a better strategy with him, I'm just looking for someone to show me the best of D3.

 

[CRASHiC]

Chain grab off stage, use bair to gimp them.
If that doesn't work with character, play defensively, abusing bair, bthrow, dair, swallow, waddle dee spam, ftilt, dtilt, all the while keeping your utilt fresh and unstale so you can kill them.
Check out the video thread. Look at the combo videos.

 

[Commander_Beef]

Alright DZLE thanks.
And I'm too lazy to ask Buuman, smexy lol. I'll just wait for the confirmation by DZLE here.

 

[tekkie]

Does dair always have landing lag? Which aerials don't have landing lag?

 

[sMexy-Blu]

Every aerial has landing lag.

You just have to Auto cancel it and time it properly so you finish the move when the landing lag frames are over.

 

[Smudge]

Every aerial has landing lag.

You just have to Auto cancel it and time it properly so you finish the move when the landing lag frames are over.

Although, there is very, very little landing lag on the Nair, hardly noticeable.

 

[Commander_Beef]

Uh...so DZLE, have you found it out yet?
Never mind I'll get the answer of it in the next couple days...

Sorry, I have sat down to test it like 3 times, but every time I havent gotten the chance. School and work have been a pain, I have barely been active on the boards. Regaurdless, I am going to test this out and see if it deteriorates or not.

Apologies.

No problem dude, I know how you feel about school. I have SAT to study for all this week.
It's so easy to test out, I don't know why I didn't think about doing it lol...
I don't feel I'll have the time either but I'll try.
