So... how do you pronounce the King's name?

[The_Famous_SK]

My other thread went way off-topic and got locked.

How the **** do you pronounce Dedede? Seriously. I want to talk about him, but I couldn't if I tried? I'm gonna just pretend it's like DDD. Like, DDR, but instead of an R, it's a D. Ya know?

How do you guys pronounce it?

 

[Prime Time]

it is D-D-D

 

[MzNetta]

Deeee Deeee Deeee

The only ther way I could imagine it being pronounced would be Day Day Day, but thats just horrendiously wrong.

 

[WeXzuZ]

I always said Dee dee dee, but the name is pronounced "Dehdehdeh" in Japanese.
Solution: Wait for Brawl, choose him, Listen for the narrators opinion on how it is pronounced.

 

[voittaa711]

Carlos Mencia says its pronounced "DE DE DEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

My friend says king ''day day day''

like king dédédé or something.

I personally dont care this character is annoying and he looks like he's not gonna be that great anyway.

Heres to hoping kirby is good again though *crosses fingers*

Hitlag plus kirby drill plus kirby uptilt. if the drill and utilt are 1/2 as broken as they were in ssb64, kirby will be playable competitivly in brawl I think.

 

[GaryCXJk]

Isn't his name spoken in "Right Back At Ya"?

 

[rock4lieff18]

i agree with dylan

This guy just looks like a fat bird. who wants to play with an overweight blue bird? why can't we just have falco back!

then did you see his special moves?

they overdid the description just a bit...

"<Up Special Move: Super Dedede Jump>
King Dedede’s great jump is his specialty!"

-he jumps up and slams down just like half the other do.

sorry i think the king dedede is just a waste of space.

bring in someone better! i mean you had metaknight what more do you want with kirby??

 

[Darkurai]

According to the anime it's "dee-dee-dee".

 

[GaryCXJk]

Doesn't anyone know how to use the phonetic alphabet?

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

If you want to pronounce it correctly (in Japanese), it's, to the effect, day, day, day or deh, deh, deh.

According to the anime it's "dee-dee-dee".

English or Japanese? Because English dubs get Japanese names and words wrong...alot.

 

[Andromeda]

"DehDehDeh". It's Swedish accent.

 

[yoshi_fan]

In spanish is king de-de-de

(Like deck, but quit de ck and that's how it's pronounced in spanish)

I like spansish form: rey dedede

 

[SirPenguin]

El-viss Prez-lee

 

[jmh_86]

Deh Dee Dee for me.

 

[ZenJestr]

I agree with yoshi_fan...

but the English anime calls him DeeDeeDee...

I prefer DeDeDe...but w/e..

we just gotta wait....till the new announcer guy says his name...

 

[blayde_axel]

If you want to, you can play Kirby's Avalanche... they pronounced his name D-D-D... in a pretty awkward way. lol.

Can't find a video for it, so you'll have to play it for yourself.

This is all bull**** wheres the ****ing captain?!!!!

 

[Drunken_Dragon]

jet hammer = jesus. heres for setups and creativity. instead of mindless appreciation of old stratagies.

ontopic: im pretty positive its dedede, said quickly, the first two Es being less enunciated.

 

[alxkun]

its dedede. Its written in katakana and its DE so its pronounce King De De De not King Di Di Di

 

[Jackal478]

Carlos Mencia way.

:D

 

[Soft3x]

I pronunce it like, Dee dee dee or Di di di. xD

 

[Space_Pirate_Fox_McCloud]

I guess "Day day day" is closest to how I pronounce it as that's how it was said Kirby's Avalanche on the SNES.

 

[C.Olimar788]

I pronounce it like it is in the dub of the anime: Dee dee dee. I hope that's how it is in Brawl.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

If I recall, his name is pronounced Dee-dee-dee.

 

[.Yoshi]

The announcer will pronounce it the way like it should be pronounced...(hopefully)

Dedede (Dédédé or Deh-deh-deh)
Don't forget 4kids dubbed the anime into English....<_< and ruined many things about Kirby...

This reminds me of Samus is pronounced. I always call pronounce her name like it was intended... Sah-mus

 

[DraginHikari]

I've always heard it pronouced De-De-De... but who knows.

 

[jon_the_ferret]

I say it (and always believed it to be) Deh Deh Dey

YOu have got to be kiddin'...Dedede had the most votes of ANY character to get into Smash...

Smash was MADE to have King Dedede in it

 

[Spaghettifire]

 

[jon_the_ferret]

Hahaha I don't know why it's there but it made me lol

 

[JaimeHR]

I'll call him "King Triple D"

 

[jon_the_ferret]

I like "King Triple D" sounds almost Pimpish

 

[happyskills]

I always pronounced it Deh Deed..lol

 

[pyrotek7x7]

"Da-de-de"

That "da" in the beginning makes it a lot easier to say, in my opinion.

 

[slayert3ch]

Alright I know no one cares wat a noob thinks but in my opinion I think that King Dedede( Dee-dee-dee) Is gonna be a character thats worth to playing as . But thats Just me . I guess Im just partial to heavy weight characters.

 

[jon_the_ferret]

I'm just salivating at the idea of a heavy weight character that doesn't get **** all over by a freaking mouse (pikachu) In melee all heavy weight character's were awful..

 

[Pyroloserkid]

Wow The_Famous_SK totally got this idea from the SMYN thread.

 

[Spaghettifire]

I call him Mr. Puffin

 

[.Yoshi]

Wow The_Famous_SK totally got this idea from the SMYN thread.

Actually, I thought I brought it to the SMYN thread's attention after seeing it here...<_<
