According to [[character matchup (SSBB)|the current SmashBoards matchup chart]], King Dedede's matchup spread has the ninth highest unweighted rank, and eleventh highest weighted total. King Dedede has overall very positive matchups. He is hard [[counter]]ed in two matchups, countered in three matchups, and soft countered in three matchups. He has five even matchups, and soft counters six characters, counters eight, hard counters eight, and has one close to unloseable matchup which is {{SSBB|Bowser}}. King Dedede's matchups are very polarized, however, as he has seven disadvantageous matchups and three advantageous ones against top and high-tiered characters, and seven disadvantageous and four advantageous against characters higher-tiered than him. Conversely, King Dedede has only one disadvantageous matchup and five even matchups against characters lower-tiered than him, and he harshly counters lower tier characters moreso than other top/high tier characters do besides {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. King Dedede tends to have advantageous matchups against characters he can chain throw with [[King Dedede (SSBB)/Down throw|his down throw]], and tends to have disadvantageous matchups against characters who can overwhelm him with fast attack speed, such as {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and {{SSBB|Fox}}, as well as characters that can [[camp|outcamp]] him and force him to [[approach]], such as {{SSBB|Falco}} and {{SSBB|Olimar}}. King Dedede hard counters several characters due to his down throw chain throw; King Dedede can perform a small-step and/or infinite chaingrab on {{SSBB|Wolf}}, {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSBB|Bowser}}, {{SSBB|Mario}}, {{SSBB|Samus}}, and {{SSBB|Luigi}}, that can deal very heavy damage. King Dedede can also perform a standing infinite [[grab release|ground-release-chaingrab]] on {{SSBB|Ness}}. King Dedede goes even with mid tier characters such as {{SSBB|Kirby}} and {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}} because they are too light for him to chain-grab. King Dedede is hard countered by the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} due to lack of safe options to approach without getting grabbed.

Conversely, King Dedede struggles against characters that are too light to be chain-grabbed, such as Meta Knight, Olimar, and Falco, with the aforementioned characters possessing ways to easily camp him back. He is also hard countered by the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} due to lack of safe options to approach without getting grabbed.
