[@JolactusJ5x5]

God, I love DeDeDe. We need more!

[@reaperingreen]

Same

[@Mad_T3]

Watching DDD mains succeed makes me wish DDD was at least C tier.

[@larry5289]

We are glad it makes you feel that way

[@jjk5693]

I thought he is S+++

[@lucasm4299]

King Dedede is S Tier

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

I hope he gets "Bluff Guy" passive in the next game. (While inflated he gets Tough Guy) This would make him better in the air and help his inhale avoid interruption by weak hits.

[@CipherKnighto]

I could see him getting there someday in the next official tier list. Only problem is I feel like his weaknesses are way too easy to exploit. Like his frame data, fall speed, size n weight and jump height topped off with having literally THE slowest air speed in the game

[@The-sh3ro]

the more I play ddd, the more beauty I can see through beautiful vods of ddd, nicely done man.

[@trevordillon1921]

DDD ate a fucking laser off stage lmao

[@fearlessleader889]

Dedede has a really slow run speed, but a fast walk speed, which means that complicated thing Kazuya does that idk if it's a combo or a multihit, he just walks out of it as if it does nothing.

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

This matchup favors Dedede in neutral. Inhale is REALLY good agaimst Kazuya. He can only use nair and fastfall fair from above to get past it, but can't if D3 is under a platform. One of tbose cases of a top tier being uniquely bad against a low tier.

[@lmgmodefoxyakalugnut]

Interesting

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

@@lmgmodefoxyakalugnut like how Fox is countered by Kirby

[@lmgmodefoxyakalugnut]

@@WarningStrangerDanger
Probably because of Kirby's good frame data and his neutral b

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

@@lmgmodefoxyakalugnut You're right, but also the fact that Kirby's feet have a bit safer reach than Fox's, so he loses a lot of trades, too. Kirby can safely edge-guard and recover, as well as make Fox have to play cautious. Light has talked about the fact that he thinks the character is underrated because Kirby also does well against Sonic and Diddy for similar reasons: good boxing.

[@extonjonas6820]

The reason people think that move is bade is because no one else can use it that well. He actually never misses, that is crazy

[@Creamerdude101]

What are the players getting up to do between matches? I've always wondered.

[@gmail3885]

Is the commentator Coney?

[@jzarzosa5971]

great narrating!

[@bossmast3rboom929]

Kazuya Mishima

[@chookwooma]

Quite

[@CassidyListon]

8:48 yo YEET SMASH wtf was that moment with the shield pressure?

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

Electric Wind God Fist knocks back shields to reward you for doing the perfect input version of the attack. To avoid the slide effect, you must parry the hit. It is so you aren't easily punished if you successfully do the perfect version of the move.

[@hillefoozy]

6:52 what are these shield interactions? It seems like this happens multiple times in this set.

[@KingPhilipsRideshare]

WTF that’s wild

[@cesarmarroquin9930]

That move Kazuya uses Forces A pushback(A unique mechanic only he can do) can't do anything about it+ Forced to Take that shield damage

[@hillefoozy]

@@cesarmarroquin9930 damn

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

Only on the electric version of the move, it pushes back shields. You CAN parry it to avoid that.

[@Human-y1n]

Ddd wins

[@ThePetakato]

how can anyone defend all Kazuya’s gimmicky bullshit, those full shield pokes are completely unnecessary

[@shaghilathar3588]

Hes literally fighting dedede, kazuya needs whatever he can get

[@YounesLayachi]

What are you taking about ? That's not a full shield poke, a poke is a successful hit. This OTOH deals no damage and resets neutral

[@a_person172]

@ThePekato I’m a Kazuya main and they mainly gave all the buffs to him because he just gets combo by the rest of the cast. Honestly you just need to just learn the moves or just use a fast combo character. So stop complaining

[@ThePetakato]

@@YounesLayachi either way, why does he need it? I feel like his hit stun is so free for his combo game, it’s insane. Why does he need such strong defense for resetting neutral when he already has super armor and auto-turn around, and buffs at 100%. I’ve pretty much learned how to deal with it, but it’s still just so much

[@ThePetakato]

and I forgot about the reflector 😂 he’s needlessly busted
