Explained how Dedede can uniquely return Gordos.
LucasTizma (talk | contribs) (Added the fact that while the stuck Gordo itself doesn't have a functioning hitbox anymore, his hitbox is detached and exists elsewhere on the screen. When an opponent is hit by it, it "completes" the side special, and Dedede can use Gordo again normally.) |

King Dedede pulls out a [[Gordo]] and hits it with his hammer, sending it bouncing in front of him. The Gordo can bounce up to three times and damages enemies on hit, starting at 24% and becoming progressively weaker, finally bouncing off them. It disappears shortly after hitting an enemy, or after the third bounce if no target is hit. However, if hit by any attack that deals 2% damage or more, it will be [[reflected]] back to Dedede rather quickly, becoming able to damage him. If Dedede is KO'd by the reflected Gordo, the character (or stage element) that reflected it gets the KO. | King Dedede pulls out a [[Gordo]] and hits it with his hammer, sending it bouncing in front of him.

It is worth noting that King Dedede can reflect Gordo back again once it has been initially reflected. However, a safer way to do this that is unique to Dedede that does not involve him attacking Gordo is to have him air dodge into the reflected Gordo. In this case, Dedede will automatically grab the reflected Gordo and hit it back with his hammer. This is generally a better response when anticipating a reflected Gordo, because if Dedede's timing is correct, he will safely return the Gordo. If Dedede's timing is off, his air dodge will allow Gordo to pass by without hitting Dedede. | |||
The trajectory of the Gordo can be adjusted in three different ways by [[angling]] the control stick: | The trajectory of the Gordo can be adjusted in three different ways by [[angling]] the control stick: | ||
