King Dedede (Kirby) Discussion

It's veteran day! Where I request whatever Vets I can name off the top of my Head! And guess who's the first one that comes to mind for a fan of a recently-ended family-friendly nintendo-based webcomic?

King Dedede

A veteran Smasher from Brawl Onward, King Dedede deserves to be in Crusade because of his importance to the Kirby Franchise. The first game featured a simplistic plot which all began with, as Matt Taranto put it in his one final song for BitF, a blob and a penguin's intense rivalry!

Moveset-Wise, He'd play like he did in SSB4, with minor balancing changes.

Discuss what Ideas you have for the Self-Proclaimed King of Dreamland in the comments below.

His Final Smash could be Masked Dedede

I'd guess that the devs already have a plan for him, or at least know if he's making the cut, but I am the one who made the Zelda/Sheik thread.

The only special move i really want to see changed is his Side Special. He could ride Wheelie like he did in Kirby: Air Ride.

Waluigi. Or Kirby.

But uh... I guess there really isn't much to say here, is there? Dedede is practically confirmed for the game (as much as Zelda). The only thing we'd probably change is the final smash - Masked Dedede does sound nice but not sure how well it would function. A simple alt costume with a mask would be better, if we can manage it.

That and Masked Dedede all seem like pretty swell Ideas, guys. And I don't know about you but, where have you read that Dedede is confirmed?

I don't know what Sakurai was thinking with his new final smash, it makes no sense. I think some sort of reference to Masked Dedede would be a good idea though.

Are you guys all fine with Gordo Throw? Personally I think Gordo Throw doesn't fit Dedede canonically, and doesn't have the comedy value of Waddle Dee Throw either. If the random chance of a Gordo is the problem, there's no reason not to just make Waddle Dees the new Gordos, with the same power and attributes and everything. I personally thought Waddle Dee Throw was a perfect move for Dedede, and the most effective Sakurai in Smash history.

I think Gordo Throw is fine, problem with Waddle Dee throw is the randomness really. I'd be fine with Waddle Dee throw if all Dedede threw was Waddle Dee's. That is, I'd be fine with it if it didn't decrease Bandana Waddle Dee's chances... which it could very well do. Although, that's just my thoughts. I'd say remove the Gordo's and Waddle Doo's and throw the Waddle Dees, just buff them a tad bit.

If DDD appears in this game he better have his Brawl B-Air back

StayPuft's idea approved!

Here's my Masked Dedede idea. It works like a Transformation right?. So all of his attacks may be buffed and deals electric damage. Like with Giga Bowser, he cannot be flinched. His Neutral Special has much more range and huge hitbox. His Up B has much more vertical recovery, but comes out much slower, and he gains a new Down B called Tornado Hammer, where he will use the jet within his hammer, creating a tornado effect as he spins his hammer furiously in circles around himself. The attack can rack up comboes on his opponents and last for up to three seconds straight. This attack can also be used to reflect projectiles back at his opponents. It lasts for 10 seconds.

I think that Gooey and Meta Knight being made before my SM4SH main D3 is a crime against humanity.You will pay, pay, pay! You will ALL pay!!!!1!!!!11!!!!

Really, though, this needs to be done in a few updates. Along with Diddy and Zelda.

Yes, Dedede needs to be there.
But only if his Final Smash wont be the one from Smash 4.

Support! I would love to see Down B get a new look to make it look more like the Hammer Flip and have him throw Waddle Dees for his Side B again, but only have 3 out at the same time. It would give him more stage control, know what I mean? Oh, and about his Final Smash...I don't want it to be a transformation like Bowser or just a powerful close-up attack like Ganondorf. How about having him turn into Masked Dedede, then throw a bunch of Waddle Dees to hurt the opponent before inhaling all of them (And maybe even some fighters?) and shooting them out again as a large star. A bit too complex, maybe.

Support

Final Smash could be summoning the Mecha-Dedede from Returns to Dreamland and Mass Attack.

It could shoot lasers and bombs and stuff.

I support

NOW DEDEDE HAS 6 SUPPORTS OMG!!!!111111

Support

Supporting!

God, isn't this a trip down repressed-memory-lane, a Spoon300 post.

Nonetheless, support for Dedede

Support, but he doesn't seem very likely imo. /s

Support, he could have some of the new moves from Smash 4, but I prefer the Fair from SSBB.

Sure, support. But keep his expressive nature from Smash 4, and his crouch. That crouch XD

Support 100%!

so the dude who nominated dedede is banned.
What should we do?

To be fair, does Dedede really need support? It's pretty safe to assume that Dedede will be in the game, so this topic should really be more about discussion of any potential Dedede changes.
