'''King Dedede''' (known as simply '''Dedede''' in-game) is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. He has received speed and combo buffs though suffering from a removal of his chain-grabbing abilities. 

King Dedede ranks 34th out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], near the top of the D tier. This is a large drop from his position on the ''Brawl'' tier list, where he is ranked 12th out of 38. In the official [[Project +]] tier list, he places 41th out of 42, placing in D tier. 

==Attributes==
King Dedede is a character whose strengths lie in his offense. Every one of his attacks boasts speed, power, reach, or hitbox placement, giving him a powerful neutral and punish game. He also has great comboing ability, having combo starters such as his up throw and combo finishers such as his forward aerial. He also has superb camping abilities due to his aforementioned reach and hitbox placements, as well as his versatile Waddle Dee Toss. He also has a highly above average recovery thanks to his many jumps, the new airdodge physics, and his useful Super Dedede Jump. However, Dedede's biggest boon is his back aerial; despite it having less range than in ''Brawl'', his higher air speed and the removal of hitstun canceling allow it to wall of pain better. It also maintains its minimal lag, long duration, power, and still has a favorable hitbox placement.

However, Dedede has numerous flaws, mainly in terms of defense. He is a very large target with slow mobility, making it easy to camp him out. He also has merely above average vertical endurance despite being a super heavyweight due to his average gravity and slightly above average falling speed. He also suffers from his recovery being somewhat predictable due to it mainly being linear. Dedede is also very easy to combo due to his aforementioned weight and size, as well as his gravity only being slightly lower than his falling speed.

Dedede overall fares worse in ''PM'' than ''Brawl'' as a result of the flaws created in the transition, as well as the significantly harsher environment which is no longer subject to his chainthrows.

==Changes from ''Brawl'' to PM==
King Dedede gained both [[buff]]s and [[nerf]]s from ''Brawl'' to PM. The buffs made him better offensively, but worse defensively, almost turning him into a glass cannon. Despite having been slightly buffed overall, he is considered to be worse relative to the cast due to the loss of his chain throw and many characters gaining new options to outclass his own. 

===Attributes===
*{{buff|King Dedede's hurtboxes are smaller.}}
*{{buff|King Dedede has significantly faster [[air speed]] (0.658 → 0.9), no longer being the slowest, significantly improving his midair approach and recovery combined with Super Dedede Jump's added versatility.}}
*{{change|King Dedede's [[traction]] is higher (0.0484 → 0.07).}}
*{{nerf|Number of [[midair jump]]s reduced (4 → 3), somewhat worsening his [[recovery]], making it more difficult to land safely, and enforcing more use of Super Dedede Jump.}}
*{{change|King Dedede [[fall]]s much faster (1.95 → 2.25), however, Dedede falls much slower relative to the rest of the cast than in ''Brawl'', going from the fastest to the 10th fastest fall speed. This nerfs his vertical endurance and his ability to mix-up landings, but makes him less susceptible to combos relative to the cast than in ''Brawl'', and gives him a much better [[SHFFL]].}}
*{{change|King Dedede's [[gravity]] is higher (0.0837 → 0.095).}}
*{{buff|[[Spot dodge]] has a longer duration (frames 2-20 → 2-21).}}
*{{nerf|Spot dodge has a new animation where Dedede now moves out of the Z axis as soon as his intangibility has worn off making his spot dodge much easier to punish.}}

===Ground Attacks===
*{{buff|The first two hits of [[neutral attack]] have decreased start-up (first hit: frame 12 → 9, second hit: frame 11 → 9) with longer duration on the first hit (2 frames → 3), and significantly faster [[interruptibility]] frames on both hits (FAF 38 → 28 (hit 1), 28 → 25 (hit 2)). The first hit now has a hitbox which launches vertically (361° → 80°) and the second hit now has consistent knockback (20 (base), 50 (scaling) → 55/0) and its angle has been altered (85° → 90°) making it connect better.}}
*{{nerf|Neutral attack's multi hits have smaller hitboxes.}}
*{{buff|[[Forward tilt]] deals more damage (6%/4% → 12%/9%), making it much stronger despite it's decreased knockback scaling (80/100 → 70/80). It also deals more [[shield damage]] (0 → 9 (clean), 0 → 6 (late)), and has more reach (4.5u → 5.7u).}}
*{{change|Forward tilt now sends opponents at a [[Sakurai angle]] (65° → 361°).}} 
*{{buff|[[Up tilt]] has less ending lag (FAF 40 → 34).}}
*{{nerf|Up tilt now only grants intangibility to Dedede's head as opposed to his whole body. The universally increased falling speeds combined with the altered knockback formula also hinder its KO potential against most characters.}}
*{{nerf|Down tilt has smaller hitboxes (6u → 4.92u (clean), 4u → 3.279983u (late)) and can no longer [[trip]].}}
*{{buff|[[Dash attack]] has a larger hitbox (5u → 6.9u), and now gives King Dedede heavy [[armor]] between frames 8-29, significantly improving its utility. It also sends opponents at a different angle (361° → 35°) now being a [[semi-spike]].}}
*{{nerf|Dash attack now has a weaker late hit which deals less damage (16%/14% → 10%).}}
*{{buff|[[Forward smash]] has more range, and the tip [[meteor smash]]es characters who are holding onto ledges. The early sourspot also deals more damage (13% → 16%) and the late hit deals more damage (5% → 12%) and knockback (100 (base), 30 (scaling) → 40/70). The late hit can also now hit aerial opponents.}}
*{{nerf|Forward smash has a shorter duration (frame 42-54 → 42-50).}}
*{{buff|[[Up smash]] has much more range, less start-up with a longer duration (frame 20-24 → 17-23), much less ending lag (FAF 68 → 54), and both the sweetspot and the sourspot deal much more damage (14%/9% → 20%/17%), making it much stronger despite it's decreased knockback scaling (95/96 → 79/80).}}
*{{buff|The front hit of [[down smash]] deals more damage (15% → 18%), and the move now consistently sends opponents behind Dedede (105°/80°/50° → 130°/125°/120°), allowing him to KO opponents easier despite the front hit having less knockback scaling (82 → 79). It also has less ending lag (FAF 53 → 47).}}

===Aerial Attacks===
*{{nerf|[[Neutral aerial]], [[forward aerial]], and [[back aerial]] have more landing lag (neutral aerial: 15 frames → 22, forward aerial: 30 frames → 32, back aerial: 21 frames → 22), though this is heavily compensated by [[L-cancelling]].}}
*{{buff|[[Up aerial]] and [[down aerial]] have less landing lag (up aerial: 22 frames → 20, down aerial: 30 frames → 20).}}
*{{nerf|Neutral aerial and forward aerial no longer [[auto-cancel]] in a [[short hop]] due to Dedede's higher gravity/falling speed as well as the latter auto-canceling later (frame 35 → 41).}}
*{{buff|King Dedede's increased air speed and the changes to hitstun/falling speeds/air-dodging also makes forward aerial and back aerial much more effective at [[wall of pain]] combos.}} 
*{{buff|Neutral aerial has less ending lag (FAF 40 → 38).}}
*{{buff|Neutral aerial sends opponents at a different angle (60° (clean)/80° (late) → 75°). When combined with the changes to the game's mechanics, this significantly improves its combo potential.}}
*{{buff|Forward aerial has less start-up with a longer duration (frames 16-18 →  13-18) longer range, and higher knockback scaling (90 → 100).}}
*{{nerf|Forward aerial has slightly increased ending lag (FAF 37 → 40).}}
*{{nerf|Back aerial has less range (8.5u → 5.534983u (clean), 7u → 4.92 (late)). The late hit also has a shorter duration (frames 9-25 → 9-21) now matching its animation and the move can no longer cause tripping. Lastly, Dedede can no longer perform two back aerials in a short hop due to his lower short hop.}}
*{{buff|Up aerial is now a single hit, which gives it increased reliability and [[juggling]] potential.}}
*{{nerf|Up aerial deals less damage (2% (hits 1-7) 19% (hit 8) → 12% (clean)/9% (late)) with its knockback compensated (50 (base), 130 (scaling) → (4/30)/85) and has a slightly shorter duration (frame 10-25 → 10-24).}}
*{{buff|Each hit of down aerial lasts one frame longer (frame 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27: 18 frames total → frame 9-10, 12-13, 15-16, 18-19, 21-22, 24-25, 27-28: 19 frames total). Down aerial also has less ending lag (FAF 48 → 38) and auto-cancels earlier (frame 44 → 34) now doing so in a short hop.}}
*{{nerf|The final hit of down aerial deals less damage (5% → 3%) and knockback (50 (base), 140 (scaling) → 70/105), resulting in the move dealing 2% less damage if all hits connect (17% → 15%) and hindering its KO potential.}}
*{{change|Down aerial SFX changed to match up aerial SFX.}}

===Grabs and Throws===
*{{buff|Dash grab has more range.}}
*{{nerf|Standing (frame 6 → 7) and pivot grab (frame 7 → 9) have more startup lag. Standing grab also has more ending lag (FAF 30 → 31) and pivot grab has less range.}}
*{{buff|[[Forward throw]] deals more damage (12% → 14%) and more knockback (70 (base). 80 (scaling) → 80/75).}}
*{{buff|[[Back throw]] has much higher knockback scaling (65 → 94) making it among the strongest throws in the game.}}
*{{nerf|Back throw deals slightly less damage (10% → 9% (throw), 16% → 15% (total)).}}
*{{buff|[[Up throw]] has less base knockback (70 → 60). When combined with the changes to the game's mechanics, this makes up throw a significantly better option to follow-up into moves, and can even be used to [[chaingrab]] fast-fallers.}}
*{{buff|Down throw has less ending lag (FAF 42 → 36).}}
*{{nerf|[[Down throw]] sends opponents at a higher angle (20° → 32°) and has altered knockback (0 (base), 80 (set), 100 (scaling) → 50/80/40) now putting every character into [[tumble]]. This removes Dedede's ability to chaingrab with it, making it act like how it does on lightweight characters in ''Brawl''. As a result, it is a significantly inferior throw by comparison; no longer nullifying certain characters.}}

===Special Moves===
*{{buff|King Dedede has significantly more momentum in the air when using {{b|Inhale|King Dedede}}, improving its utility.}} 
*{{buff|[[Waddle Dee]]s can be thrown in 3 different angles with different strengths, and can now perform the "Waddle Dash" by repeatedly throwing and picking up a Waddle Dee or [[Waddle Doo]], King Dedede moves forward at a very fast rate, significantly improving his mobility, recovery, and approach.}}
*{{buff|[[Super Dedede Jump]] now has a hitbox during the rising portion, and canceling the move completely negates Dedede's momentum, giving the move more versatility for recovering and leaving him less vulnerable against [[edge-guard]]ers.}}
*{{nerf|Super Dedede Jump no longer has [[super armor]], only having medium armor throughout the rising portion.}}
*{{buff|[[Jet Hammer]] applies a momentum boost on swinging based on the level of charge. King Dedede also gains light armor while charging, and the move has drastically less start-up (frame 29 → 9) and ending lag (FAF 77 → 57) when uncharged. It also now semi-spikes (361° → 35°) which along with its altered (albeit overall decreased) knockback (uncharged: 20 (base), 100 (scaling) → 40/80, fully charged: 30/80 → 40/75) improves its edgeguarding potential. Aerial Jet Hammer also deals more damage (uncharged: 10% → 11%, fully charged: 28%/16% → 30%) and fully charged Jet Hammer now deals consistent damage (30%/20% → 30%) and it has a new (albeit extremely weak) late hit signinificantly lengthening its duration (frames 9-11 → 9-33).}}

===Project+===
King Dedede gains additional color schemes and new team colors. His second green one has an obi featuring sprites of the ''Kirby'' series enemy [[wikirby:Sparky|Sparky]], a light-blue and purple color based on concept designs for Parallel Dedede, and a black color scheme with an obi that features the eye shape of one of his possessors, [[wikirby:Dark Matter|Dark Matter]]. His Samurai Kirby-inspired costume also gains two additional color swaps. In 2.4, his Samurai Kirby-inspired costume receives visual touch-ups while also having him throw a [[wikirby:Key Dee|Key Dee]], a Waddle Doo as it appears in the aforementioned Sub-Game (with a yellow complexion to match the enemy Waddle Doos in ''Kirby Super Star''), and a [[wikirby:Blado|Blado]].
[[File:King Dedede Palette (P+).png|800px|thumb|center|King Dedede's alternate costumes in P+]]

'''Secret costumes:'''

[[File:Dedede R_P+.png|160px]]

'''Z-Secret Costume:''' Kirby 64 Dedede: Based on King Dedede's appearance in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', which became the basis for his appearances in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' and ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''. Extra details include the white crown-like fluff on his hat, his eyes and beak having a different shape, and the removal of his usual kimono. As of 2.4.1, the Waddle Dees he throws now resemble the [[wikirby:Waddle Dee (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|individual character]], the Waddle Doos he throws now resembles the transformed form of said Waddle Dee after being possessed by [[wikirby:Dark Matter (cloud)|Dark Matter]], and the Gordos he throws now resemble the versions from ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' right down to the cyan spikes and wider eyes that look more cross-eyed than how they generally look in most other games.

'''R-Secret Costume:''' Shadow Dedede: Based on Shadow Dedede, an entity hailing from the Mirror World in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. Extra details include the monochrome bull's-eye emblem in place of King Dedede's own emblem, blank eyes always in an angry expression, and a different colored version of the Super Dedede Hammer normally wielded by Masked Dedede in place of the king's usual wooden hammer.

==Trivia==
*His original Z-Secret Costume was based on {{iw|wikirby|Masked Dedede}}, a form he takes on at the end of ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''{{'}}s {{iw|wikirby|Revenge of the King}} Sub-Game, and would later appear as part of his Final Smash, [[Dede-Rush]], in ''Ultimate''. The mask that was part of the costume appears as part of an Easter egg from 2.3 onwards.
