Overview

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

King Dedede puts out his foot to act as a poke. Down tilt is one of King Dedede's fastest moves and has a 40% trip chance, applicable from around 0-18%. Its long lasting hitbox, excellent range for its appearance, and acceptable endlag makes this a somewhat reliable way to get a grab to start a chain grab. After a trip, it's also valid to go for dash attack if the opponent rolls out. It also has surprisingly high KO potential, doing so at around 135% at the ledge, which can be easily facilitated through down throw.
