Update #173: King Dedede: Final Smash

[parrothead]

<Waddle Dee Army>

King Dedede’s Final Smash is a mountain of Waddle Dees called the Waddle Dee Army!

Hmm. I guess it’s in his character to leave the work to someone else.


Everyone in formation!


Clompity-clompity-clompity-clompity!


Hup! Hup! Hey! Ho!

You can’t tell from a picture, but the speed of these Waddle Dees is quite a bit faster than the ones he normally calls. You need to watch out to make sure you don’t suddenly get swept off the screen.

But the most dangerous thing of all is that the spike-headed Gordos are also mixed into the crowd.


Owwwwwwww!

Huzzah! I approve!

I was kinda hoping it would be Dark Matter Possession, but I'll take an army of Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos and Gordos. Yes, there's a Waddle Doo in one of those pictures; the third one down, it's kind of mooshed flat against the platform next to a Waddle Dee that appears to be exploding.

I love Dedede's poses for this move! Seriously some great stuff. I love this update.

This is...so...Lame! Nah it's okay...but I thought something better would of been made of Dedede's Final Smash. This is just like his special move...but instead of being pulled out, they rain from the sky!

Cool, the only Final Smashes that haven't been covered in site updates: Zamus, Sonic, Snake, and Zelda. We already know about Zamus' and Sonic's thanks to E For All, so the only mysteries left are Snake and Zelda. At least, until a new character is revealed. Oh please let that be soon!

Not what I expected in the least, but it seems to be a trend for some FS's to just be bigger versions of normal attacks. I love the fact that he whistles and dances as they run amok on the stage I'm sure this will be a very fun and humorous FS, if not useful in some instances

It's a good Final Smash and it suits King Dedede.

Is it me or did they just recolor the Kirby model for the Waddle Dees?

No, the feet and shape are a bit different. Not to say they aren't similar, but y'know.

Booyeah, I called this the moment he was released on the web. I'm cool

Anyway the text makes it sound like it's sorta like Pit's FS. I wonder if it'll have a good effect on large stages too.
Doesn't matter because Waddle Dee invasion is fun either way.

What was ZSS's FS again? I'm drawing a complete blank.

Anyway, I like this Final Smash and it's definitely one of the better ones I've seen so far.

A light brings her Power Suit back according to the "What we know" thread.

I think someone here also pointed out that she can hurt other characters at the same time just by touching them, but it's not listed in the thread.

It's a bit lame. It just a rehash of his own moves. Mecha Robo Dedede would have been ultra cool.

[Manspeed]

Well, that's two "army" Final Smashes, along with a couple of "transformation" Final Smashes and several that are just megaton versions of Special Moves.

[TV Eye]

This isn't a good FS. It just doesn't seem powerful (same as Pit's).

[wanderingshadow]

I'm going to have Dedede and Pit do their Final Smashes at the same time and see which army is mightier. Honestly, I don't think this is a really bad FS. It's could be better, but it's not bad.

Watch Delfino Stage (Off-Screen HD) and tell me Pit's isn't powerful.

This is pretty much Dedede's FS. What would you expect. I like it, but it may not be as strong against airborne foes.
