'''King Dedede''', also known as just '''Dedede''' (デデデ, ''Dedede'') , is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. King Dedede is a recurring villain in the Kirby series. He is an anthropomorphic, blue penguin-like being whose main weapon is his massive, wooden mallet, which has now been mechanized. King Dedede has been classified as a "Super Heavyweight", alongside [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser]], [[Donkey Kong (SSBB)|Donkey Kong]], and [[Snake (SSBB)|Snake]]. However, he is capable of puffing up for multiple jumps, like [[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]] and [[Jigglypuff (SSBB)|Jigglypuff]]. He was confirmed on October 25, 2007 on the ''[[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]]'' site. Dedede is voiced by the director of the game, [[Masahiro Sakurai]], who also voiced him in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Stars''.

King Dedede is currently ranked 11th on the [[tier list]] due to his amazing chaingrab and powerful throws combined with an extensive grab range, ability to Sacrifice KO, fantastic edge guard game, greatest resistance to vertical KOs (a combination of being the fourth heaviest character and having the fastest falling speed in the game), great range, good followups, good combos, good recovery for his weight class, good [[Waddle Dee Toss]] projectile blocking, a few quick, hard hitting attacks, and having what could be considered one of the best defensive games, which is made better by being one of the most difficult characters to KO in the game. Although he's not higher due to having a big hurtbox, being a target for chaingrabs, juggles, and combos, and having poor speed overall.

It is revealed on the [http://smashbros.com official website] that King Dedede was involved in helping the takeover of the battleship [[Halberd]] by the [[Subspace Army]]. During this time, Dedede learns of [[Tabuu]]'s [[Off Waves]] and spends the rest of the story preparing for them.

Line 114: Line 155:
Though the Smash Back Room doesn't specifically ban the short step infinite, many tournaments ban the short step chain grab because of King Dedede's massive grab range that allows him to shield grab many attacks. However, they always keep his running chain grab, which is not so extreme. Many tournaments ban it exclusively because other chain grabs aren't so extreme (the Ice Climbers for example rely on chain grabbing heavily and have poor grab range, there are also strict timing limitations for each character and percentage).

According to the Unity Ruleset, the standing infinite is no longer banned.
King Dedede can also infinite Ness and Lucas by using a grab release. Ness can be infinited without moving at all, while with Lucas, the player has to walk a little towards him and do a [[pivot grab]] on him.
