Kirby Fighters 2/King Dedede

Introduction

King Dedede (Unlocked after completing the Final Chapter of Story Mode)

Dedede is the lazy, food-loving King of Dreamland. His hammer has a large disjoint, as well as generally being very active with certain attacks lasting a while. His combo damage is spectacular, as Dedede does get a lot of traction off of a single interaction. Dedede's j.66B, 66B, 668B, and 662B are very useful tools for throwing out offensive options, 66B and 662B being more committal burst options. Overall, he benefits greatly from predicting what your opponent will do, and punishing with a combo that carries to the corner, or catching jumps with 8B or j.66B.
