King Dedede (known as simply Dedede in-game) is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M. He has received speed and combo buffs though suffering from a removal of his chain-grabbing abilities.

Attributes

King Dedede is a character whose strengths lie in his offense. Every one of his attacks boasts speed, power, reach, or hitbox placement, giving him a powerful neutral and punish game. He also has great comboing ability, having combo starters such as his up throw and combo finishers such as his forward aerial. He also has superb camping abilities due to his aforementioned reach and hitbox placements, as well as his versatile Waddle Dee Toss. He also has a highly above average recovery thanks to his many jumps, the new airdodge physics, and his useful Super Dedede Jump. However, Dedede's biggest boon is his back aerial; despite it being weaker than Brawl, this allows it to wall of pain better, combined with his higher air speed and the removal of hitstun canceling. It also maintains its minimal lag, long duration, and hitbox placement.

However, Dedede has numerous flaws, mainly in terms of defense. He is a very large target with slow mobility, making it easy to camp him out. He also has merely above average vertical endurance despite being a super heavyweight due to his average gravity and slightly above average falling speed. He also suffers from his recovery being somewhat predictable due to it mainly being linear. Dedede is also very easy to combo due to his aforementioned weight and size, as well as his gravity only being slightly lower than his falling speed.

Dedede overall fares worse in PM than Brawl as a result of the flaws created in the transition, as well as the significantly harsher environment which is no longer subject to his chainthrows.

Changes from Brawl to PM

King Dedede gained both buffs and nerfs from Brawl to PM. The buffs made him better offensively, but worse defensively, almost turning him into a glass cannon, and most agree he is a slightly worse character overall, despite technically receiving more buffs.

Attributes

  • Buff King Dedede has significantly faster air speed (0.658 → 0.9), no longer being the slowest, significantly improving his midair approach and recovery combined with Super Dedede Jump's added versatility.
  • Nerf King Dedede dashes slightly slower (1.22 → 1.21).
  • Nerf Has three midair jumps rather than four, somewhat worsening his recovery, making it more difficult to land safely, and enforcing more use of Super Dedede Jump.
  • Change King Dedede falls much faster (1.95 → 2.25), however, because the entire roster received increased fall speeds, Dedede falls much slower relative to the rest of the cast than in Brawl, going from the fastest to the 10th fastest fall speed. This nerfs his vertical endurance and his ability to mix-up landings, but makes him less susceptible to combos relative to the cast than in Brawl, and gives him a much better SHFFL.

Ground Attacks

  • Buff The first two hits of neutral attack have decreased start-up (first hit: frame 12 → frame 9, second hit: frame 11 → frame 9) with longer duration on the first hit (2 frames → 3 frames), and significantly faster interruptibility frames on both hits (first hit: IASA 38 → IASA 22, second hit: IASA 50 → IASA 21). The rapid jab also ends significantly faster and each hit of neutral attack connecting better.
  • Nerf Rapid jab of neutral attack comes out slower (frame 2 → frame 7), though this is heavily compensated by the various buffs it received.
  • Change Rapid jab of neutral attack has less hitlag, making it harder to Smash DI, but makes it less safe on shield.
  • Buff Forward tilt deals more damage (6%/4% → 12%/9%) and significantly increased knockback.
  • Buff Up tilt has a longer duration (frame 7-15 → frame 7-17) and has less ending lag (IASA 40 → IASA 34).
  • Buff Down tilt has slightly less ending lag (IASA 36 → IASA 35).
  • Nerf Down tilt deals slightly less knockback.
  • Buff Dash attack deals more knockback, and now gives King Dedede super armor between frames 8-29, significantly improving it's utility.
  • Nerf Dash attack now has a sourspot on the later portion of the attack that deals 6% less damage than clean hit (16% → 10%) and much less knockback.
  • Buff Forward smash has more range, and the tip meteor smashes characters who are holding onto ledges. The early sourspot also deals slightly more damage (3% → 16%).
  • Nerf Forward smash deals slightly less knockback (though it is still among the strongest in the game) and deals 0.7896% less damage when fully charged (33.6% → 32.8104%) due to the reduced charging multiplier for smash attacks (1.4x → 1.3671x). It also has a slightly shorter duration (frame 42-54 → frame 42-50).
  • Buff Up smash has much more range, less start-up with a longer duration (frame 20-24 → frame 17-23), much less ending lag (IASA 68 → IASA 54), and both the sweetspot and the sourspot deal much more damage (14%/9% → 20%/17%) and knockback.
  • Buff The front hit of down smash deals more damage (15% → 18%), and the move now sends opponents behind Dedede, allowing him to KO opponents easier and follow-up better. It also has much less ending lag (IASA 53 → IASA 47).

Aerial Attacks

  • Nerf Neutral aerial, forward aerial, and back aerial have more landing lag (neutral aerial: 15 frames → 22 frames, forward aerial: 30 frames → 32 frames, back aerial: 21 frames → 22 frames), though this is heavily compensated by L-cancelling.
  • Buff Up aerial and down aerial have less landing lag (up aerial: 22 frames → 20 frames, down aerial: 30 frames → 20 frames).
  • Buff Neutral aerial has less ending lag (IASA 40 → IASA 38).
  • Buff Forward aerial has less start-up with a longer duration (frame 16-18 → frame 13-18) longer range, and deals more knockback. King Dedede's increased air speed and the more edgeguarding-friendly physics also makes it much more effective at wall of pain combos, despite its slightly increased ending lag (IASA 37 → IASA 40).
  • Nerf Back aerial has less range, and a slightly shorter duration (frame 6-25 → frame 6-21).
  • Change Back aerial deals slightly less knockback, making it less effective for KOing, but more effective in wall of pain combos, combined with King Dedede's increased air speed.
  • Buff Up aerial is now a single hit, which gives it increased juggling potential for combos and KOing from the more combo-friendly physics.
  • Nerf Up aerial deals less damage (19% → 12%/9%) and a slightly shorter duration (frame 10-25 → frame 10-24).
  • Buff Each hit of down aerial lasts one frame longer (frame 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27: 18 frames total → frame 9-10, 12-13, 15-16, 18-19, 21-22, 24-25, 27-28: 19 frames total). Down aerial also has less ending lag (IASA 48 → IASA 38).
  • Nerf The final hit of down aerial deals less damage (5% → 3%), resulting in the move dealing 2% less damage if all hits connect (17% → 15%).
  • Change Down aerial has less hitlag making it harder to Smash DI, but makes it less safe on shield.

Grabs and Throws

  • Buff Forward throw deals more damage (12% → 14%) and significantly more knockback.
  • Buff Back throw deals drastically more knockback, now being among the strongest throws in the game.
  • Nerf Back throw deals slightly less damage (16% → 15%).
  • Buff Up throw has less ending lag, combined with the more combo-friendly physics, this makes up throw a significantly better option to follow-up into moves, and can even be used to chaingrab fast-fallers.
  • Nerf Down throw sends opponents at a more downward angle towards the floor, removing chain throws, making it act like how it does on lightweight characters in Brawl.

Special Moves

  • Buff Waddle Dees can be thrown in 3 different angles with different strengths, and can now perform the "Waddle Dash" thanks to some of Project M's mechanics. By repeatedly throwing and picking up a Waddle Dee or Waddle Doo, Dedede can move quickly around the stage. It can be used both as a recovery and approaching technique and significantly improves his mobility.
  • Buff Super Dedede Jump now has a hitbox during the rising portion, and canceling the move completely negates Dedede's momentum, giving the move more versatility for recovering and leaving him less vulnerable against edge-guarders.
  • Nerf Super Dedede Jump no longer has super armor, only having medium armor throughout the rising portion.
  • Buff Jet Hammer applies a momentum boost on swinging based on the level of charge. King Dedede also gains light armor while charging, and the hammer comes out slightly more quickly, as well as having slightly more knockback.
