King Dedede (SSBU): Difference between revisions

King Dedede's voice clips from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', where he was voiced by series creator [[Masahiro Sakurai]], have been repurposed for ''Ultimate''.

King Dedede has some of the best endurance out of any fighter on the roster. Dedede is tied with {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}} as the third [[weight|heaviest]] character in the game and has one of the best vertical recoveries due to [[Super Dedede Jump]], allowing him to survive to extremely high percents. Dedede's primary strengths lie in his hammer and deadly [[ledge trap]]s. King Dedede's hammer provides him with large, disjointed [[hitbox]]es on many of his moves, making him one of the few super-heavyweights that can reliably [[space]] his opponent. Dedede's hammer can also be quite powerful, as he boasts some of the strongest [[smash attack]]s and [[aerial]]s in ''Ultimate''. Furthermore, Dedede's [[Gordo Throw]] combined with his various [[tilt]]s and smash attacks can make Dedede one of the most intimidating characters on the [[ledge]]. King Dedede's moves were largely buffed in power, frame data, and [[combo]] ability in their transition to ''Ultimate''. The most significant buff to Dedede's overall moveset is that {{B|Inhale|Dedede}} now serves as a reflector, allowing Dedede to better fight against [[projectile]] [[camping]]. Inhale can also be used in conjunction with his [[Gordo]]s, giving him another way to use his sole projectile against his opponent.
