During Inhale, King Dedede becomes far slower, with an inability to dash and slower walk speed. His [[jumpsquat]] also becomes 15 frames as of ''Ultimate'', with no action being able to be taken until then. His landing lag and air speed also substantially increase. While his fall speed is increased, it is very difficult for King Dedede to maneuver around while Inhale's grab is active. Due to this, it is very possible for a character to out-maneuver Dedede and exploit his compromised state. To offset this, it also isn't difficult to a character to hit the inhaled opponent as well as Dedede himself. As a result, in team battle situations, this can be exploited.

Other similarities to Kirby's Inhale include the ability to [[item swallow|eat items]], though unlike Kirby, he cannot recover damage from doing so. He can also perform a form of [[sacrificial KO]], sometimes known as "Dededecide" or "Regicide." The Dededecide is more effective than the Kirbycide is in ''[[Brawl]]'', as King Dedede is able to [[Fast-falling|fast-fall]] while using the move, unlike Kirby. King Dedede also has a considerably higher falling speed than Kirby, even without fast-falling.

Brawl'''s [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]].


To compensate for not being able to copy abilities, Dedede's Inhale does more damage than Kirby's Inhale and lets him inhale projectiles. This attack does 12% when the opponent is exhaled (14.4% in 1v1 battles). Also, if the character-projectile hits someone, it does 9% to 20% to that person depending on the inhaled opponent; the heavier the inhaled opponent is, the higher the amount of damage it does. The projectile also deals more vertical knockback to opponents compared to when Kirby exhales the opponents, and is very capable of scoring a KO.

In nearly every [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' game]] with King Dedede in it, King Dedede has shown the ability to Inhale, like Kirby. Unlike Kirby's Inhale, King Dedede cannot absorb an ability. The attack has remained mostly the same throughout the ''Kirby'' series, with the exception of ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Dream Land 2|Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', where King Dedede is able to inhale large amounts of air and spit it back at Kirby as a very powerful projectile.

*Unlike Kirby and [[Wario]], King Dedede won't recover health by eating items in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.
*As with Kirby, King Dedede is unable to inhale enemies in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'''s [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]].
*If viewing a character while they are in King Dedede's mouth but not quite in his stomach, one can see that the character's head and torso are dramatically decreased in size if the camera is angled right. This can also be seen with Kirby's Inhale, Wario's [[Chomp]], and the vacuum portion of King K. Rool's [[Blunderbuss]], and is done so the opponent's upper half doesn't clip back out of Dedede.
