d3 or falco

d3's works at any percentage, and can infinite
falco's does more damage per stage length, works on a larger percentage of the cast(including MK) leads to dair and usmash, but is escaped at higher percentages.

Damage isn't an argument for Falco. You said it yourself, Dedede isn't limited to low damage levels in order to CG (plus it goes right into d-tilt, so at high percents it's lethal).

It a matter of either chain grab to edge and kill, or chain grab to uber high damage and kill.

Falco needs a condition, D3 doesn't.

However I found Falco's one MUCH easier to do AND I main him, so obv I prefer Falco's.

Falco IMO. Just slightly.

DDD's Down-throw is next to useless in a few matchups against lightweights such as MK, G&W, and Olimar. They all have the advantage on DDD too, so basically his Down-throw is something that can be countered.

Falco's Down-throw gets combos on pretty much any character. Except Jiggs really, but it doesn't matter much.

They are both excellent positional advantage throws near the edge.

Just to let you know... while DDD's Dthrow doesn't chaingrab those characters, the throw becomes a techchase instead.

Falco's is easily mastered can lead to 0-Death Combo(Yes I'm using combo, since its sorta inescapable CG -> Dair/Gatling) DDD's is a bit harder, but its plus that you can CG at any percentage

I'd say they are both equal, other than that, DDD's is slightly better

d3. If you think about how much it would affect their game if they didnt have dthrow, D3 would be in low tier. His CG helps with his bad matchups (if it works on them)

Falco's dthrow->Boost Smash (not gatling) is a great killer combo. But DeDeDe can do his even when the opponent is at 999%.
