@@dracondragon9425 but he deserves to be referred by he’s name by facing Kirby even if he knows he can do nothing against Him just to give some time to the king and staying afterwards to see the fight
Dedede's theme is a battle with a familiar face (either possessed or not). Masked Dedede's theme is a battle against that same friend, but now he's out for your damn blood.
Having Dedede tilt the arena into the lava with his weight like that one mini boss from Twilight princess was an amazing idea for a harder extra fight. I seriously didn’t see it coming and it adds another layer to this already intense fight.
I always thought more about the second Bowser fight in Mario 64 lol, but yeah, it gets especially tricky when half of the arena sinks into lava and the other half has lava puddles from previous attacks.
Honestly, seeing the king actually try to fight the first time he became masked was wild, and it still is. No goofiness, no smugness, just a pure badass.
Reasons why Dedede is not such a bad guy: He begged Kirby not to fight Nightmare by clinging onto his stubby leg. 2. He helped fight Queen Sectiona by throwing him a Miracle Fruit 3. He saved one of the Waddle Dees in “Kirby and the Forgotten Land” and sacrificed him self by fighting off the Beast Pack. Any more reasons in the comments.
In SSBB: 1.) after being woken up by Ness and Luigi, he thanked em and the 3 decided to contribute to freeing the other fighters, 2.) Even tho he had let go of his greedy self, Dedede gets kicked by a Cocky Wario, challenging him to face him as previously Dedede sent his Waddle Dees to distract and confront wario, and took his floating cart that held a Trophenized Ness and Peach, adding Luigi to his collection, but was helped back up by Ness and Luigi, all three letting him know that (idk why they showed their palms to warrior, causing him to drop his jaw). (This cutscene happens when you free Wario from his trophy form) 3.) He took on Bowser after freeing him from the trophy, and after the second time he freed a cocky and pride-wounded bowser, he smacked him letting him know that he’ll beat his ass again but it ain’t worth it and also that his “Master” (Master Hand) has been defeated, thus giving him an option follow a pointless treacherous leader or help the gang free the others so that they can crack a second chance at fighting the bigger threat (Tabuu) 4.) He was excited to see Kirby in the Subspace Emissary after Kirby found Trophenized GanonDarf before Bowser proceeded to take out his aggression on Ganon for Backstabbing him after all the work he did for him, and Dedede proceeded to drag Kirby along gently.
He's only been the antiganist out of ill will once. All other times he's been fighting for a good cause (e.g. defending the star rod to not awaken nightmare) or been possessed/brainwashed (e.g. every other game)
In kirbys adventure, he helped kirby fight nightmare by inhaling kirby and the star rod, then spitting him towards nightmare, equipping him with the star rod and let him fight nightmare.
I've had the headcanon that at the point of him getting controlled in KatFL, he was always that strong, it's just that the mind control was making him go all out. Even the elemental attacks are easily explainable as he's always had them IE lightning powers in Kirby Pinball and that the hammer attack's charge attack sets it on fire.
I love how Masked Dedede's theme is just a more chaotic, somewhat darker version of his original theme. Really shows that, no matter how differently they act, Masked and King Dedede are the same entity.
That forgotten lands gameplay was pretty smooth with that strong utilization of dodging to slow time and spit the stars. good one. Felt better than watching someone just sit there with the gigant blade or repeatedly freeze him with ice power. :V although still wish a lotta bosses had more HP or the upper end of copy powers dealt a bit less damage so you'd atleast on an upper average fight get through a single rotation of all their skills before they die. >_>'
Well with my experience the ultimate tournament Z makes it not really possible to go through the whole thing with just ice becuase Phantom Meta Knight just has too much health to take down and attacks so much that it's hard to manage to even freeze him at all so it's best to just grab the sword and go from there.
How the Hell do you manage to defeat bosses before their skills repeat? Unless its those Attack Boosts and Copy Ability upgrades..... Edit: All Hammers. Works like every Kirby game lol.
I remember getting excited after discovering triple deluxe had a masked Dedede fight, then squealing when the actual theme started playing This truly became a part of the character huh
The forgo dedede fight had a huge missed Opportunity is to had you forced to use the hammer copy ability to reference the First time that masked dedede apeared
Fun fact mask dededes hammer has his old rocket launcher attached to it The only time it was used on its own was in kirbys block ball you can tell since he fires the same rockets in the fight as well as the hammer head looking like the rocket launcher
I like how metaknight can split into 4 in fighters 2 because it confirms that he retained the powers gained by being possessed Meaning dedede might still have the ability to become buff dedede or even split his stomach open
Due to the hammer before the fight and the mask I like to headcannon that King Dedede saw Meta knight fight Kirby and was like “HEY WAIT HE ACTUALLY LOOKS KINDA COOL” and just ripped him off
I freaking love the masked dedede theme, and i wish they used it in more games. it would be really cool to have a game where masked dedede is on our side to fight a greater threat
Forgo dedede is my favorite version they’ve done of dedede so far At first it’s just a typical dedede getting controlled until he LIFTS A GIANT PILLAR AND TRIES TO SMASH YOU WITH IT! Then after you beat him, he pulls a King K. Rool and gets back up and captures Elfilin and rides off. Then you fight him again and he’s dual wielding hammers and wearing a tribal hog mask. COOL! Then after you beat him down again, HE DROPS THE HAMMERS AND STARTS CHARGING AT YOU ON ALL FOURS LIKE A DEMON OUT OF HELL!!! And for the best part, after you snap him out of it, he’s genuinely happy to see Kirby again. Then the beast pack starts barreling in as a huge horde and D3 sacrifices himself to buy Kirby and the waddle dees time to escape in the elevator, knowing fully that he might not make it. I love King Dedede so much man 🥹
I am sure 100% of Kirby fans thought exactly this during the Triple Deluxe fight "OH YEAH MASKED DEDEDE" "He has... the standard boss theme?" "HAL HOW COULD YOU DO THIS" "It's even easy as hell, look, I already beat h- OH GOD"

It’s nice that you included Battle royale, Blowout Blast, Kirby Fighters 2, and even Super Smash Bros. While all those games are not canon since they’re spinoffs, they’re all still pretty good.
Masked Dedede in Triple Deluxe is interesting because even though he has his jet hammer, hes doing regular dedede choreography and moves. Its not until the second phase where he mimics his masked moves with the battle ax, even using magic to mimic the missiles
Can we just admire how dedede decided to give kirby the best ability in super star ultra, just so that he could fight "fair" Like nah bro he putting himself at a massive disadvantage

Dedede is an anti hero. He just does what he wants and I respect it
He's only been the antiganist out of ill will once. All other times he's been fighting for a good cause (e.g. defending the star rod to not awaken nightmare) or been possessed/brainwashed (e.g. every other game)
Dedede was also a victim of Kirby once. In Squeak Squad, Kirby fought him because he thought he stole his cake.

NGL, when I saw King Deedeedee pick up that Labrys in Triple Deluxe, I was like "Oh dang. I AM SO HYPED. I WANT TO FIGHT HIM."
15:27 Doing that amount of damage in one attack should be classified as a warcrime.
That's just 40% of kirbys power
10:07 is the "buried into the ground" effect supposed to be just this raw jpeg or was that a bug?
I looked up another clip of Dedede gameplay and it seems like this was just a bug, I'm willing to bet it's an emulation issue
Yes, this is an emulator issue, but I still went with the emulator so the gameplay would be full HD resolution
I like how metaknight can split into 4 in fighters 2 because it confirms that he retained the powers gained by being possessed

The triple deluxe one gives me so much nostalgia
Ever since kirby deluxe dedede has been posed left and right
I like the idea where before fighting Dedede, you pick up a hammer like Meta Knight and a sword.
Is it me or did they made dedede slightly bigger? Which, I have no problems with that.
uh he just looks like that
He is suppose to be 8 feet tall, with kirby being _8 centimeters tall_
My first Kirby game was the og superstar, I was obsessed! then later that same year I got the remake and let’s just say tears where shed
Think the craziest part of this is that they gave kirby a dark souls style dodge roll with downplayed witch time in the newest game
sometimes i forget masked dedede was just a one-off thing and was only revived somewhat recently and is now a staple of dedede fights
0:18 rest in peace to Dedede's bird nuts. 😂
