The King’s Last Stand (Dedede Medley) - Kirby

- This was actually composed sometime last year. The reason I didn’t post it until now is because I couldn’t think of a good idea for the thumbnail. Nevertheless, it’s here now.
I’ve always really liked the battle with Masked Dedede in Superstar Ultra. It’s taken way more seriously than most other battles with the king, with the cage, the audience being missing, and what Dedede himself says before the battle. In terms of the overarching story of Kirby, this feels like it’s supposed to be the last time we fight Dedede. That’s not to undermine his other appearances of course, his battles in forgotten land are also highlights. Anyway, have a Merry Christmas. God bless.

Taken from Tumblr's prokopetz:
“I can’t let you do that.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Don’t get me wrong, our little... collaboration has been fruitful, but I have to look out for the best interests of my people, and this isn’t it.”
“I’m afraid you misunderstand the nature of this relationship, ‘your majesty’. Your seat at this table is a courtesy. You may be the king of these lands, but ultimately, you’re just a fat penguin who rules a kingdom of fools and routinely loses fights with a child. You aren’t in a position to let us do anything.”
“Ha! No... no, I think it’s you who misunderstands your position.”
“Oh?”
“I’ve lost fights to a child. And have you seen the kind of fights that child wins? Gods and monsters. Thing you can’t even imagine. And then there’s me. Just little old me. Yeah, I lose, eventually, but I make him sweat for every victory. Do you understand?“
“I-”
“A king may yield before a god, but he remains a king. Let me show you what that means.”
And what's the context around this?
dude this goes so hard wtf
@@wholekilogramofbutter480 doesn’t it???
Don't mind me just gonna jot this down for later use
considering how fucking badass this is
The fight in Superstar Ultra is indeed the last time Dedede fights us willingly in a mainline game. He is either controlled by someone else, or we are fighting someone similar to him, every single time after that fight.
King DeDeDe always loses, always gets humiliated, but he always tries, and he always gets up
You're right! He loses, learns, gets stronger, and tries again. Over and over, going toe-to-toe with a being on the level of gods.
Is it respect for the king's persistence that leads Kirby to keep him around when he destroys far greater threats without hesitation? Is it mockery? Or perhaps... Does he see potential in Dedede to become a true equal? The penguin successfully trained himself to copy Kirby's Inhale ability, after all. Who knows what else he's capable of? And it is lonely at the top of the mountain...
Infinity points for including The King and the Sun at the end there, I feel like people _seriously_ sleep on how important that scene is.
Because as iconic as the clash in the electric cage is, it pales in comparison to the self-proclaimed king walking off into the sunset, not nearly as alone as he had believed.
For when the sun rises again, it will be on a Dedede who strives to be worthy of his crown. No longer simply self-proclaimed, but a _self-made king._
And most of all…
The sun will rise on a friend.
The use of the old sound fonts is superb
I'd say that the title is fairly accurate but instead of it being a final stand, i'd say it would be a final challenge of sorts. A true end to the rivalry of Kirby and King Dedede. Think about it:
After so long, Kirby has finally taken the mantle of not only Popstar's defender but the Savior of the Stars. And while Kirby has a long life ahead of him to fufill his duty, all kings eventually have to pass the torch. And so, before Dedede does, he invites Kirby back to his castle the same way he did back in Revenge of the King, a gauntlet of Dedede's strongest warriors before he steps into the ring with the king himself.
Every skill Dedede has possessed throughout all the games will be thrown out in this last hurrah. From the very first bout on the Gameboy to whatever games will be dropped even further in the future, Dedede will be throwing all those skills out to FINALLY best his rival, no, his friend.
Before Kirby would not stand a gluttonous tyrant, or a jealous self-made monarch. After everything Dedede has done through the many, many journeys. It's safe to say that this is a new Dedede.
*King Dedede, the King of Dreamland.*
That Dark Mind section is glorious.
Majestic
It is truly legendary dedede! Long Live Your Majesty!🐧👑🔨💫
I been trying to refind a Dedede remix/medley/amv that was bunch of music associated with him (even had part of the dedede bustle/ bouse items in it) and for some reason in last third it just a still image of masked dedede that get injured
it also had Don Quijote spamming Gordos
but this is a good substitute
When phase 2 begins:
Does anyone think king dedede is better than bowser cause he is no doubt
He's better than Bowser because he has character development, new and fantastic forms, a cool hammer, plus he's goofy and cartoonish but also serious and strong at the same time. He's better in every aspect.
Yea
I recognize a few Garageband instruments in here! Was this made in garageband?! It sounds really good!
Yes this was indeed made in GarageBand! Because I’m still using my dinky little IPad for composing, I’ve grown accustomed to stuff like Bandlab and the Soundfonts extension for GarageBand. But GarageBand is still the main software I use when it comes to composing.
