However, King Dedede has severe flaws that overshadow most of his strengths, especially when in disadvantage. Dedede has awful mobility, with him especially struggling in the air due to possessing the slowest [[air speed]] in the game, making it a challenge for him to [[approach]] or retreat from his opponent. Like several super heavyweights, King Dedede has a large hurtbox and a few evasive options, making him extremely susceptible to combos and [[juggling]]. While this can be somewhat dealt with through Dedede's incredibly quick [[falling speed]], his attributes of a super heavyweight only compound the issues his sluggishness presents. Dedede's atrocious air speed in combination with his fast falling speed leave him extremely vulnerable offstage, making it troublesome for Dedede to return to stage safely. In addition, the slow frame-data associated with Dedede's moveset make a majority of his moveset very committal. His [[special move]]s all leave him open to punishment. Dedede also has to be careful when using Gordo Throw, as Gordos can be reflected back by the opponent by dealing at least 2% on it, which can put it in. Super Dedede Jump is best useful if Dedede can connect with the ledge, as the move has exceptionally high ending lag onstage and cannot snap to ledges during descent. All of this leads to Dedede having a surprisingly hard time taking off [[Stock|stocks]], as his powerful finishers are unsafe, and his deadly set-ups are difficult to establish in [[Neutral game|neutral]]. | However, King Dedede has severe flaws that overshadow most of his strengths, especially when in disadvantage.

King Dedede's competitive percetion has shifted throughout ''Ultimate''{{'}}s metagame. At launch, Dedede was considered an upper mid-tier due to his received buffs, as well as the utility of [[Gordo Throw]] and his [[shield break]]ing set-ups, which led to a large playerbase. However, Dedede received notable nerfs to Gordo's hitboxes and [[shield break]] set-ups in subsequent [[List of updates (SSBU)|balance patches]], leading to a decline in his competitive standing and most of Dedede's early mains have either | King Dedede's competitive percetion has shifted throughout ''Ultimate''{{'}}s metagame.
