Base game appearance	Brawl

King Dedede (listed simply as Dedede on the character select screen) is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M.

Attributes

Changes from Brawl to PM

King Dedede gained both buffs and nerfs from Brawl to PM, but was slightly nerfed overall.

• Neutral attack combo now links properly, with the infinite hitting significantly faster.
• Forward and up smashes have larger range, and the tip of the forward smash meteor smashes characters who are holding onto ledges.
• Forward aerial is now a full hammer sweep from below. It covers a longer range and does more damage then the previous forward aerial.
• Jet Hammer applies a momentum boost on swinging based on the level of charge. Dedede also gains light armor while charging. The hammer also comes out slightly more quickly.
• Has three midair jumps, rather than four.
• Forward smash has slightly slower startup.
• Up aerial now is just a single hit of 12% damage, instead of multiple hits of up to 19% damage.
• Down smash now sends opponents behind Dedede.
• Forward and back throws have been slightly balanced each other on damage.
• Down throw sends opponents at a more downward angle towards the floor, removing chain throws, but allowing for deadly tech chases.
• Super Dedede Jump no longer has super armor on the move, but has a hitbox during the initial jump and has medium armor throughout the rising portion. Cancelling the move will negate his momentum.

Moveset

Up smash		22% uncharged, 30% charged	Pulls his hammer back then swings it vertically over his head. Does significantly more damage than in Brawl.
Down smash		15% uncharged, 21% charged	Swings his hammer near the ground on both sides of him.
Neutral aerial		12% first hit, 7% second hit	Extends his arms and legs and attacks with his stomach. His limbs produce a second, weaker hitbox soon after.
Forward aerial		15%	Pulls his hammer back slightly then swings it in front of him upwards. Has a larger hitbox than in "Brawl".
Back aerial		13% initial hitbox, 9% subsequent hitbox	Extends a foot backward. Is a sex kick.
Up aerial		12%	Spins his hammer above his head.
Down aerial		2% each for the first six hits, 5% for the final hit, 17% if all hits connect	Extends his hammer below him and spins it.

Forward throw		14%	Hits the opponent with his hammer. Does 2% less damage than in "Brawl".
Back throw		15%	Pushes the opponent behind him, then hits them with his hammer. Does 1% less than in "Brawl".
Up throw		9%	Thrusts both his hands upwards, hitting the opponent.
Down throw		8%	Slams the opponent into the ground and sits on them. Unlike "Brawl", the opponent always falls over, and therefore can not be instantly grabbed again.
Floor attack (front)
Floor attack (back)
Floor attack (trip)
Edge attack (fast)		8%	Pulls himself up slightly, then heaves himself onto the stage while kicking in front of him.
Edge attack (slow)		10%	Pulls himself slowly onto the stage, then quickly swings his hammer over his head in front of him.

Side special		5% Waddle Dee, 7% Waddle Doo, 22% Gordo	Pulls one of his minions out of his sleeve and throws them forward. Unlike "Brawl", the minion can be thrown in three different trajectories, much like Snake's hand grenades. The Gordos also deal 1% less damage.
Up special		6% while he is traveling upwards, 15% when he is traveling downwards	Jumps extremely high and comes crashing down. Unlike "Brawl", if the move is cancelled and he falls to the ground, he will get up instantly instead of fumbling around, making it safer to cancel the move.
Down special		11-30%	Raises his hammer above his head, and it opens up to create a jet of white flame. The longer the move is held, the more damage, knockback, and directional boost to Dedede occurs.
Final Smash		varies	Whistles, and then dances for ten seconds while Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos, and Gordoes move about the stage. During these ten seconds, he is invincible.
