i feel like masked dedede should be his own character.
the idea is: "galacta knight, but dedede."
so like things like instead of throwing a gordo he does the spinning move that leaves him open when it completes but hits like a dump truck
and for the down special he could have a charged attack where he sticks his hammer into the ground and, if the button is tapped, he lets out a stream of fire or, if the button was held, a volley of missiles fire. the attack leaves him open.
up special leaves a shockwave that travels a short distance that, as a trade-off, leaves him open when he lands


the entire point of this is: "masked dedede is powerful, but his attacks better land."

HAND ME ANOTHER BAG O' DEM CHIPS!

My freind considers king dedede to be unbalanced due to it being easy to stunblock with him. Does anybody know how to counter this for him?

we need him a a boss

Really wish the jet hammer stayed but otherwise really good character

Great character but man the drum is just so much less satisfying than his original charge hammer down special :(

can we have dialogue for Dracula?

he is going to dededestroy you

should make it easier to use masked dedede it took me like 10 tries to do it but very good character

the king dededestruction

OP. needs a nerf ASAP

btw you cant fight another king dedede it crashes the game is there a way to fix this?

HAND ME ANOTHER BAG OF DEM CHIPS!!!

obese penguin doing the french girl pose

make the gordo last longer please because I like playing gordo tennis with my brother and its life time isn't long enough to TRUELY embrace this new Esport.

did a large section of his alts just diappear for me or was their a update that got rid of them

Yknow just because he's bad in smash doesn't mean he has to be bad in rivals

Just throwing out there that there's a bug that makes Gordo get stuck and become unusable. Seems to happen during specific clanks but during those clanks is a random chance. No specific character as this has happened across a variety. Felt it worth mentioning here

I saw the fight. You didn't DI multiple times. The person you played against is too good of a player regardless due to me having having a hard time with him. He had to play differently since you covered your options.

Very good character. Too good, I'd say. I get wanting to make him a powerhouse, but Dedede's got too much going on for me to remain subscribed. For a superheavy with power and reach to match, his moves come out blazingly fast, especially down-tilt and down-strong. The fact that you can combo dtilt into itself is ridiculous, and down-strong is incredibly safe for its impact, safer than a good deal of tilts.

As he is, I get the general impression that he's overtuned. Even so, with a general increase in end and/or startlag (maybe with some increased hitstun to compensate for the slower speed), I think Dedede could be one of my favorites to play/against.

@colin "You can also hold Parry and Taunt to become Masked Dedede, a cosmetic outfit that'll make you feel like a true king!" Literally near the top of the description.

how do u become masked dedede

can you also make marx from the first kirby game it would be cool

salute the king my good sir

for some reason i can't explain the gordo got stuck on some offscreen wall and lagged the game hard, it was on kraggs homestage

how do i become masked dedede?

At the time of this comment, this is the most popular character (in the past month) on Rivals Workshop, and it totally deserves it.

His weight means his fastfall is really really fast. Screwing up a dair offstage is usually a stock loss.

One other things I forgot: f-air is a bit too fast for how huge and strong it is, could use a bit more start-up.

Awesome rendition of Dedede, the little things like being able to hold f-tilt and the new D-Special make him feel so much better.

Some of his normals could use adjustment though IMO. D-strong is too powerful for how fast it is and how much space it covers, B-air's hitbox lingers way too long, and u-air kills a bit too early with how hard it is to challenge and how long-lasting it is.

moves I'd buff, his dash attack could be more flavorful. I'd like to see it get a bit more start-up, but in exchange it should have armor that can absorb all but the strongest attacks to sell that Dedede is a big boy and is falling with a lot of weight and force. The animation also needs a shockwave when he lands so that it's more clear how big the hitbox is.

His empowered Up-B also feels pretty bad, the super armor doesn't last long enough and the lack of hitboxes means it's pretty much never worth using. I'd like to see it get super armor for the ascent and descent with only a small window at the peak that can be interrupted. Being able to press down to have him fall early would also be nice so that you can mix up your timing.

Neutral B is also kind of lackluster. Not being able to move with something inhaled makes it way too inflexible against projectiles, the hitbox to swallow a projectile is a bit too strict, and only shooting a generic star instead of spitting out the projectile you swallowed like in Smash is disappointing.

Gordos also seem to just pass through the drum sometimes, so that could use fixing.
Overall though, love this iteration of Dedede. Makes him so much more skill expressive and feels great to play, if a bit too strong.

I've encountered a bug where flipping through the color options causes the game to crash.

how long has it taken for a pennywise on the workshop

How has it taken this long for a well made dedede to exist on the workshop

he has compatibility with the final smash buddy?

Very fun character, I personally love him as-is and wouldn't want anything changed. I think he is more than strong enough already, however he has a very easy infinite air stall that honestly should be patched out. If Dedede gets any sort of lead he can just hug the top blastzone by using his drum correctly.

When Dedede holds the jump button and mashes down-b, he will place a drum below him and another drum will refresh before the drum he is bouncing on expires, allowing him to climb vertically infinitely. Mashing the down-b while the drum is out gives him a little air stall, which is just long enough to float above the drum until a new one respawns. I imagine this could be fixed by either making the drum refresh very slightly later, or by making the drum-less down-b give you no vertical boost/ only 1 vertical boost before touching the ground.

Feels so faithful, yet has that rivals flair, as a smash bros dedede main this feels perfect, thank you and keep up the good work

Knee jerk comments, so take it with a grain of salt. Jumps feel a bit too weighted. He's a fat penguin but is still pretty floaty. Feels like I have the metal hat from Smash equipped all the time.

Dair needs to have less end lag. I see it was buffed recently but whiffing it on tree top and dying from it seems a bit unfair considering it's just a quick downward strike. If it was multihit I could see it but it makes it not fun to use while edge guarding.

Otherwise everything feels great. Really nice iteration of him. Definitely one of my favorite WS characters.

this is awesome btw hand me a bag o them chips

Its all fun and laughing until dark matter or 02 shows up

i still need to wait for 02 to come

Yes.
