Following update 7.0.0 enlarging his shield, some of King Dedede's kit was improved in update 8.0.0.<!--Down throw became less susceptible to DI via update 1.0.4 in SSB4--> Up tilt's damage output was increased noticeably, and down tilt's launching angle was lowered. As a result, both moves now function as strong, yet reasonably fast KO options when they are sweetspotted. Forward aerial and especially up aerial gained higher knockback, which also improved their KO potentials. Lastly, [[Inhale (King Dedede)|Inhale]]'s start-up and grabboxes were lowered and enlarged, respectively, which made it easier for Dedede to catch approaches and projectiles. | Following update 7.0.0 enlarging his shield, some of King Dedede's kit was improved in update 8.0.0.<!--Down throw became less susceptible to DI via update 1.0.4 in SSB4--> Up tilt's damage output was increased noticeably, and down tilt's launching angle was lowered.

Most recently, update 11.0.0 buffed Gordo Throw in a few ways: it became safer thanks to its slightly lower ending lag and Dedede's faster reflection timing, while its edge-guarding potential was improved thanks to the Gordos' increased chance of sticking to edges. | |||
Overall, King Dedede fares mildly better than he did at ''Ultimate''{{'}}s launch, yet not as much compared to other tepidly received characters that have also been buffed via updates. Although Dedede retains a lot of his fundamental flaws, his buffs have nevertheless improved his KO potential and, to a much lesser degree, his defensive potential. | Overall, King Dedede fares mildly better than he did at ''Ultimate''{{'}}s launch, yet not as much compared to other tepidly received characters that have also been buffed via updates.
