'''Super Dedede Jump''' ({{ja|スーパーデデデジャンプ|Sūpā Dedede Janpu}}, ''Super Dedede Jump'') is [[King Dedede]]'s [[up special move]].

'''Super Dedede Jump''' ({{ja|スーパーデデデジャンプ|Sūpādededejanpu}}, ''Super Dedede Jump'') is [[King Dedede]]'s [[up special move]]. He jumps extremely high, then crashes down, dealing damage during the descent and when landing on the ground. The jump can be angled by pressing left or right while Dedede is turning to face the screen before he actually jumps, but once in the air, pressing left or right only changes the direction Dedede faces when he lands. He is vulnerable when he lands, so one can cancel the move by tapping down in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' or up in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4|Smash 4]]'' if it looks risky; this also allows the player to adjust Dedede's horizontal momentum. However, if it is done too close to when Dedede lands, he will become even ''more'' vulnerable; instead of just getting up, he will fumble around for about a second and a half before getting up, forcing delicate strategy when canceling the move. If Dedede hits a ceiling while using the move, he will fall [[helpless]]ly.
King Dedede jumps extremely high, then crashes down, dealing damage during the descent and when landing on the ground. The jump can be angled by pressing left or right while Dedede is turning to face the screen before he actually jumps, but once in the air, pressing left or right only changes the direction Dedede faces when he lands. When King Dedede lands, there is a strong landing hitbox that can launch opponents up. Two {{iw|wikirby|Recoil Star}}s are produced around King Dedede when he lands, making nearby opponents flinch. These stars are projectiles and can be countered, reflected, and absorbed. It is an unusually decent recovery option for a character of his weight class.


Unlike most other up special recoveries in the game, this move does not auto-sweetspot the edge, except in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', but only during the upward jump. However, if the move is canceled close enough to the edge, Dedede will snap to it. It is also possible to use the Super Dedede Jump as an edgeguarding move.
Super Dedede Jump, while limited in movement, is very well-protected. During the first half of this attack (when he jumps into the air), King Dedede has [[super armor]] from frames 26-45, causing long attacks such as [[Smart Bomb]] to freeze King Dedede if he is hit during his armored frames. However, the jump at this stage deals no damage. In ''Smash 4'', the ascent's armor was nerfed (26-32 with additional body intangibility on frames 22-25), but more was added to the descent (73-80). His feet also become intangible from frame 73 until landing. In ''Ultimate'', further protection was added, with the ascent having [[invincibility]] from frames 18-24 with armor active 22-34, then the descent gets armor from 69-76 with foot intangibility from frame 69 onwards.

However, the jump deals no damage. If he hits an opponent as he is falling, it becomes a powerful [[meteor smash]]. If this move meteors an opponent onto the ground, and then Dedede lands on top of them, it has vertical knockback instead of the normal 45-degree angle. Stars are produced around King Dedede when he lands, produced in reference to the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' games]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Super Dedede Jump gained the ability to bury grounded opponents when landing on top of them.
If Dedede hits an opponent as he's falling, it becomes a powerful [[meteor smash]]. If this move meteors an opponent onto the ground, and then Dedede lands on top of them, it has vertical knockback instead of the normal 45-degree angle. In ''Smash 4'', Super Dedede Jump gained the ability to bury grounded opponents when landing on top of them, which can be used as a niche method to set up [[KO]]s. A common method of doing this is by burying an opponent near the ledge, and then cancelling the jump to grab the ledge, giving just about enough time for a move such as a [[down smash]] due to the strength of the bury. However, it still takes an enormous amount of time. It's also possible to use Super Dedede Jump as an edgeguarding move due to the strong meteor effect, but doing this is usually too risky to be used consistently.


Amusingly enough, if this move is used under a low-gravity effect (through certain stages, such as [[Pirate Ship]] and [[Spear Pillar]], or through Special Brawl options), Dedede comes down at ridiculously slow speed and can travel absurd distances horizontally. This glitch can also work while Dedede is standing on [[ink]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]. By the same token, its utility as a recovery move is hampered by high-gravity effects, but it becomes much more difficult to avoid.
The move can can be canceled before the descent by tapping down in ''Brawl'', or up in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''. This allows the player to adjust Dedede's horizontal momentum and grab the ledge in situations where Super Dedede Jump would otherwise fail to do so. If it is done far enough from the ground, Dedede will suffer less landing lag as well. However, if it is done too close to when Dedede lands, he will become extremely vulnerable; instead of just getting up, he will fumble around for about a second and a half before getting up. If Dedede hits a ceiling while using the move, he will fall [[helpless]]ly.

Unlike most up special recoveries in ''Brawl'', this move does not auto-sweetspot the edge (though it does in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' during the upward swing of the jump). It can however snap to edges if the move is canceled close enough to them.
Super Dedede Jump is one of King Dedede's main attacks from the ''Kirby'' series, including his debut in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. In the ''Kirby'' games, when Dedede jumps and lands, two stars would appear on each side of him, which [[Kirby]] could [[Inhale (Kirby)|swallow]] and spit them back at King Dedede, though Kirby can't swallow the stars in ''Brawl''.

Super Dedede Jump (スーパーデデデジャンプ, Super Dedede Jump) is King Dedede's up special move.

Overview[edit]

King Dedede lands in Brawl.

King Dedede jumps extremely high, then crashes down, dealing damage during the descent and when landing on the ground. The jump can be angled by pressing left or right while Dedede is turning to face the screen before he actually jumps, but once in the air, pressing left or right only changes the direction Dedede faces when he lands. When King Dedede lands, there is a strong landing hitbox that can launch opponents up. Two Recoil Stars are produced around King Dedede when he lands, making nearby opponents flinch. These stars are projectiles and can be countered, reflected, and absorbed. It is an unusually decent recovery option for a character of his weight class.

Super Dedede Jump, while limited in movement, is very well-protected. During the first half of this attack (when he jumps into the air), King Dedede has super armor from frames 26-45, causing long attacks such as Smart Bomb to freeze King Dedede if he is hit during his armored frames. However, the jump at this stage deals no damage. In Smash 4, the ascent's armor was nerfed (26-32 with additional body intangibility on frames 22-25), but more was added to the descent (73-80). His feet also become intangible from frame 73 until landing. In Ultimate, further protection was added, with the ascent having invincibility from frames 18-24 with armor active 22-34, then the descent gets armor from 69-76 with foot intangibility from frame 69 onwards.

If Dedede hits an opponent as he's falling, it becomes a powerful meteor smash. If this move meteors an opponent onto the ground, and then Dedede lands on top of them, it has vertical knockback instead of the normal 45-degree angle. In Smash 4, Super Dedede Jump gained the ability to bury grounded opponents when landing on top of them, which can be used as a niche method to set up KOs. A common method of doing this is by burying an opponent near the ledge, and then cancelling the jump to grab the ledge, giving just about enough time for a move such as a down smash due to the strength of the bury. However, it still takes an enormous amount of time. It's also possible to use Super Dedede Jump as an edgeguarding move due to the strong meteor effect, but doing this is usually too risky to be used consistently.

The move can can be canceled before the descent by tapping down in Brawl, or up in Smash 4 and Ultimate. This allows the player to adjust Dedede's horizontal momentum and grab the ledge in situations where Super Dedede Jump would otherwise fail to do so. If it is done far enough from the ground, Dedede will suffer less landing lag as well. However, if it is done too close to when Dedede lands, he will become extremely vulnerable; instead of just getting up, he will fumble around for about a second and a half before getting up. If Dedede hits a ceiling while using the move, he will fall helplessly.

Unlike most up special recoveries in Brawl, this move does not auto-sweetspot the edge (though it does in Smash 4 and Ultimate during the upward swing of the jump). It can however snap to edges if the move is canceled close enough to them.

Amusingly enough, if this move is used under a low-gravity effect (through certain stages, such as Pirate Ship and Spear Pillar, or through Special Brawl options), Dedede comes down at a ridiculously slow speed and can travel absurd distances horizontally. This can also work while Dedede is standing on ink in Ultimate. By the same token, its utility as a recovery move is hampered by high-gravity effects, but it becomes much more difficult to avoid.

Origin[edit]

King Dedede performing the move in Kirby's Dream Land

Super Dedede Jump is based on one of King Dedede's recurring attacks in the early Kirby games, since his debut in Kirby's Dream Land. Kirby could swallow the Drop Stars and spit them back at Dedede, though Kirby can't swallow the stars in Super Smash Bros. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was also the first time King Dedede could use the move as a playable character. As of version 4.0.0 of Kirby Star Allies, King Dedede can perform the Super Dedede Jump as a playable character.
