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
@@Mythol-OG i does, and the buildup to the song starting while reading that just sends it home that much harder
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.
Would squeak squad count although that was more self defense
@@thescarredsinner895Squeak Squad came out before SSU
What about Kirby fighters 2
@@Matthew-g1t Both Dedede and Metaknight have the mind-controlling masks, and my guess is that the effect has started a while already, since neither would normally look for help in a direct fight against Kirby
@Jeekc nah bro, in Kirby Fighters 2 Dedede and Mata Knight wanted to defeat Kirby to finally defeat their common rival and at no time are they controlled by the Marsks
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...
@benjaminoechsli1941 maybe not he does have the waddle dees
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.
That Dark Mind section is glorious.
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. And it would be reflected on his battle title.
*King Dedede, the King of Dreamland.*
The ending could also reflect this. In contrast to the original ending of Revenge of the King, he’s walking back towards the castle with tired yet happy smile on his face. Of course, the waddle dees join him, but also some of the other friends he’s made, like Taranza, Adeliene, Magalor, Elfilin (if they’re around), some other friends he’s made in future games, and Kirby, coming to follow him in his warp star to check on him, showing the bonds he’s created since his origins on the Gameboy.
If Nintendo ever wants to stop the Kirby series, that would be the perfect way to do it. He’d be the hardest boss in the series, practically unbeatable, just to prove that he’s not messing around.
The use of the old sound fonts is superb
Majestic
The editing mixed with the music is so cool. You really hit this outta the park dude. I love how you incorporated so much of the ds sound font in this too.
The composer knows every block animation for every Kirby game... I feel like if I don't like and subscribe I will wake up to a hammer in my face. (OP this mix is 12/10 nuts please never quit mixing and mastering)
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
It is truly legendary dedede! Long Live Your Majesty!🐧👑🔨💫
Long live the king
0:56 is where the song actually begins (no build up)
King ddd: I have lost, far to many times… to Kirby… I had enough, this has shown that I’m just weak. I have lost over and over, yet again and again… to her… how many times have I lost? Who knows? Heck I wasn’t even in control in my body for a lot of times… no… this ends here and now… Kirby… our grudge will be settled at last… now… PREPARE TO SEE ME HAVE A VICTORIOUS WIN FOR ONCE…
When phase 2 begins:
I'm very impressed
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.
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
Most definitely.
Other than being a villan (wich is even debatable), Dedede is the better person. He truly fought and earned his redemption arc.
