Thankfully, Dedede is one of the better characters in this game, as oppose to him being a contender for being the worst character in Smash 4 I miss Brawl King Dedede tho!
@@theStridingRebel If you get hit by ganons up tilt then you should probably throw your switch on the freeway. A 60 frame start-up move with no super armor is bound to have a giant hitbox.
@@NovaSolarsis835 The problem with the plant is he doesn't deform his body while attacking, giving it poor range. Combined with a mediocre frame data, poor movility and bad angles, and you have the perfect formula for a low tier. Specially that F-Air, that move is just terrible, and his Up-air and D-air aren't much better.
I HATE THAT SPINNY SHIT WHERE HE GOES 100 LIGHTYEARS BUT NOT OFF OF LEDGES AND MY BROTHER SPAMS IT WAY TOO MUCH BUT LIKE IT'S ACTUALLY A VIABLE STRATEGY AND I HATE thank you for coming to my Ted talk
I'd actually like to see Luigi's hitboxes. One thing I've wondered for some time is just how big the windbox on Luigi Cyclone actually is. And Super Jump Punch seems weird sometimes. Sometimes the sweetspot misses when Luigi's literally right on top of his opponent, and sometimes it hits when it really seems like it shouldn't.
His Forward tilt is pretty great. In some situations, if you read the opponent roll dodging behind DDD, once their roll completes you can usually hit them with the hitbox that is inside his body which catches opponents off guard. I am pretty happy Ultimate gave DDD a Back air that can be angled pretty offensively. While I'm still a fan of Brawls Down tilt (he sticks his foot out to poke the opponent in front of him), the new Down tilt helps him close gaps. A fair trade off. Thanks for also putting a line in the hitbox bubble, I've seen a couple of hitbox viewers that don't always show knock back associated with that hitbox.
Honestly as a Dedede main, the only thing I use down tilt for is taunting at the end of a match because of how bad it is. I'd prefer it if they either made the hitbox more realistic and reasonable to use, or changed the animation entirely because it's just not a usable move unless you're playing against some noob or your little cousin.
There is actually a bonus to the windboxes on dedede's forward smash. If the opponent is caught off guard and doesnt land a hit, it will pull them to the ground as the hammer swings down, and it causes them to get slammed by the final huge hitbox, pretty much front and center. I never knew why it did that, but now I do. I think it is intentional.
The 0% hitbox on fsmash is meant to drag players down into the weak hitbox of the move. It doesn’t work when the opponent is able to hit you out of the move or is on a platform above Dedede, however, so I would much rather have a standard hitbox.
In my experience, the weird hit-boxes on DeDeDe’s forward smash act to slam the target into the ground where they are then hit by the full blunt of the actual hit box. I could be wrong about which hit-boxes are doing this but I know I’ve done it several times in the past.
Dedede's been my "main" since Brawl, which is odd since I usually prefer smaller faster characters in games. Maybe he's just more lenient with sloppy play lol. I wasn't expecting him to be so highly requested but happy to see a vid on him.
I think that for his forward smash, the two hit boxes on the handle are used for when an opponent is more above you rather than on the ground in front of you. This way, if Dededes hammer is at its highest and someone is near the top of the hammer, it will pull them down into the forward smash, but just as a sour spot.
10:15 actually it's meant to put a smashing effect and extend the window of the attack, meaning if the opponent is in the air and close dedede will first bring them to the floor and that connects with the hit afterwards
and now we know *why!* the gordo has three separate hitboxes, and dedede got hit by the first gordo spike, then the second because of the angle he was launched at! so cool
Sometimes a reflected gordo hits you multiple times and thats how you give free 40% to an opponent. For some reason is easier to hit olimar multiple times with a single gordo.
Gordos are like a 50/50 chance for me. They either hit the opponent and shoo them off the edge of the platform for me to recover back, or they easily get reflected and I get like 20% damage. It’s a risk but it has it’s advantages.
ike's hitboxes are so mind boggling that they deserve a video. I literally tell everyone who complains about the hitboxes "Don't act like Ike has ever had accurate hitboxes".
I want his old up air back.... It was better and had literally the same frame data, damage, and knockback but instead of giving him back that lingering hitbox that caught airdodges so well, Nintendo appeals to the AD HD crack cocaine kids and now our game is all about offense and nothing else means anything. It bugs me so much that it's not there, like I would probably main him if the up air got changed back because of how it kind of represented how slow can also be good. Ike is a cool boy.
@@greyscaleadaven his old up air would be barely useful in this game for one reason: directional airdodging. it was great for smash 4 and brawl, but doesn't hold up for ultimate.
Those hitboxes on Dedede's forward smash are controlled by a flag below the hitboxes which effectively overrides the properties of the hitbox, so they can have literally any knockback values and it wouldn't matter
Those forward smash hitboxes, I think, are intended. If the opponent connects with them, it launches them toward the ground setting up for Dedede's hammer to slam into them. They pretty much simulate the hammer dragging oppenents to the ground.
Poor Dedede. He's so big and special. Why did they have to nerf him? Those hitboxes on the gordo now look so minimal compared to how they functioned before. Big sad.
Huh looking throught that code i was pretty surprised at windboxes using the same code for an attack. I think it is just a regular attack but with most properties stripped from it such as flinching, doing damage, being counterable ect. Dedede uses an "average" speed of pushing and when it touches the main hitbox the sucked fighter changes face model to their hurt face, spins the model around removes their collision and changes their state to being sucked by dedede which shrinks cetain parts of a model so their hidden inside of dedede. This may be entirely wrong thought so idk, smash has really confusing coding
Actually, the wierd wind-boxes on DDD’s f-smash are there to let the sweet spot (the base of the hammer when it hits the ground) connect better, so they are meent this way.
King Dedede is the best heavyweight in smash, here is why: King Dedede can spike at 0 King Dedede can do up to 50% in 1 hit King Dedede has good Recovery King Dedede has a good projectile King Dedede Is the One King Dedede is a Super Star Warrior King Dedede is gonna Clobber dat dair Kirby King Dedede can taunt online King Dedede has best crouch King Dedede has Boss themes King Dedede has lots of funny memes
I hope that in the future, you do a Mr Game and Watch hitbox analysis. I honestly think those hitboxes are really weird, janky and outright broken. For example, down smash.
You could do Roy. He has weird stuff like almost no sweetspot on the front hit of up tilt while still having a bunch of different hitboxes, jab's almost complete inability to sweetspot prone opponents, or the fact that nair has normal instead of set knockback on the first hit, but the launching (aka second) hit treats every character's weight as 100 like finishing touch (unpaid intern again)
About F Smash and Inhale. For Inhale, I think all of those hitboxes help to make the inhale hit opponents above or below Dedede, and pull them in at the proper angle. Like a pulling a character downward and inward, as opposed to always being pulled in the exact same way. Another one effects projectiles, which Dedede inhales. For F Smash, the hitboxes on his arm help with whiffing the move. They send the opponent downward, and slightly away like a wind box, and into where the hammer will hit. They work on certain items too, which leads to jank sometimes...
On team battles go Dedede and your teammate goes villager. Villager plants a tree while Dedede is inhaling villager cuts it down. Then carnage. Pure carnage
King Dedese actually had the second strongest smash attack in the game Number one is Lucario with full aura and rage Number two is, of course, Ganondorf
The point of the two weird hitboxes on f smash are to pull the opponent down into the second hit of f smash when the hammer impacts with the ground, to make it seem as if the hammer swing is dragging them down as he swings it and then smashes them into the ground. Thats why they snap down quickly.
The sakurai angle has changed (again) in ultimate. Now it sends both aerial opponents at 38°, as well as grounded opponents with a knockback greater than 88. I'm gotta admit, i love that the angle is consistent once more like it was on Smash 64 and Melee.
This series is very interesting and helpfuö for understanding spacing. I'd love to see Snake's hitboxes (to laugh about) and Bayo's hitboxes (to cry about) next.
Dedede's DAir cannot spike grounded opponents. That's why there are 2 hitboxes overlapping. One's for aerial clods, the other's for grounded clods. The Sourspot can hit both.
@@marzipancutter8144 For every time I see this comment, I should be owed a quarter lol, but he should be consistent considering the last two Smash games he was fine
@@overlordx19964 I'm guessing the reason for his inconsistencies is due to some errors with the autolink angles being placed weirdly or something. I rarely ever play as Sonic, but when I do, I don't get any problems usually.
@@charKT-7461 It's more his autolink angles are kind of odd like up air 1 having next to no kb but a lot of hitstun and spin charge seeming to drag people down so they can tech at higher percents or they don't get hit by the jump from spin charge
The point of the handle hitboxes at the beginning of his f-smash is to snap the opponent to the ground so that they get hit by the strongest hit box at the end of the animation. Very useful, but also very inconsistent.
The reason why there’s a wind box on the side smash is because it’s meant to push opponents towards the sweet spot. That way, the move hits more consistently
Greninja’s dair and up tilt. Dair hitbox seems so dam tiny and up tilt whiffs opponents unless ur waaaay up close. Heck it can whiff if u stand still after running into someone and use it.
Mii swordie has some neat stuff.. aand by neat i mean justifiably powerful. Anything where you press up, tornado and hero spin have all got some spunk to em
not many people mention duck hunt, but i have seen some very strange interactions involving duck hunt: side B almost always shield pokes, the can has a "shot" hitbox that can cause the can to go through the enemy, down air NEVER hits both hits, and the ducks seemingly massive beak on bair and fair
The "instantly snap to the ground" thing on the weird F-smash hitboxes actually sounds potentially useful for catching someone out of the air into the rest of the move? Maybe it doesn't work out that way in practice but it sounds not-impossible that it's intended to reduce weird whiffs.
ima have to test his down tilt, this video makes it look like they fixed it from smash 4 where thin characters that were touching u were too close to get hit by it n just got pushed instead
As a Dedede main I hit people with UpB all the time. If you hold down when you use it you will fly past the ledge and instantly land with a very powerful hitbox. It's excellent for punishing people ledgeguarding you.
Apart from one of my favorite Kirby songs being muffled in the video, this was a nice return to hitboxes. Now I'm curious about Luigi and Lucas. I've had some funky experiences with both.
Weird question. So Mewtwo's tail lives in the Z axis for most of the time, running, idle, etc. I wonder if moves like down smash from DDD can actually hit it when the move has active hitboxes on that axis? Told ya it would be weird.
Inkling and DK pls. These videos from an outside like dont seem like much help for gameplay but they absolutely help me ALOT when looked deep down. Thank you for the info. Keep it up!
That part about janky multi-hit airels is annoyingly true. Someday Samus will be able to use down throw into fair on super lightweights consistently, and it will be a glorious day.

Mii swordie has some neat stuff.. aand by neat i mean justifiably powerful. Anything where you press up, tornado and hero spin have all got some spunk to em
As interesting as this is, without hurtbox data it's hard to see how effective these hitboxes are as disjoints or otherwise how safe they are.
not many people mention duck hunt, but i have seen some very strange interactions involving duck hunt: side B almost always shield pokes, the can has a "shot" hitbox that can cause the can to go through the enemy, down air NEVER hits both hits, and the ducks seemingly massive beak on bair and fair
I think Luigi is in need of one of these videos lol. Some of his hitboxes just don’t make much sense
It’s a good thing his enemy is Kirby, who has the squishiest hit box ever. (Do Kirby next!)
Please do one on all of Snake's Hitboxes.
OH SHIT I'M IN THE VIDEO!
I'M FAMOUS :D
thanks man! what an honor to be featured! I've never had that happen before
I would really like to see a Mega Man hit box video. He has some very unique moves. (And I personally think he's the best character)
But he isnt the best character in the Game?
Not best by tier, but best by heart.
The blue hit box for deedeedees neutral B is the time where you are screwed and can’t get out. It sort of lifts you up.
For the Dair weird Sakurai angle: Dair doesnt spike grounded opponents, but sends them at the sakurai angle
The reason there is no damage on the handle hit boxes is so the move hits on the bottom more consistently
Im honor of links sword getting bigger, please do him! And make sure to talk about his ridiculous up b!
Could they have not forward aerial sweep around D3 like in the Kirby games? ALSO HAMMER TWIRL DOWN AIR PLS.
The "windbox" on Fsmash is to plant the other character on the ground to get hit by the big nasty sweetspot
i would honestly really like to see zero suit samus's hitboxes, they just seem so odd, especially forward air
The "instantly snap to the ground" thing on the weird F-smash hitboxes actually sounds potentially useful for catching someone out of the air into the rest of the move? Maybe it doesn't work out that way in practice but it sounds not-impossible that it's intended to reduce weird whiffs.
ima have to test his down tilt, this video makes it look like they fixed it from smash 4 where thin characters that were touching u were too close to get hit by it n just got pushed instead
As a Dedede main I hit people with UpB all the time.
If you hold down when you use it you will fly past the ledge and instantly land with a very powerful hitbox. It's excellent for punishing people ledgeguarding you.
z axis on dsmash is good for if they roll into it
Apart from one of my favorite Kirby songs being muffled in the video, this was a nice return to hitboxes.
Now I'm curious about Luigi and Lucas. I've had some funky experiences with both.
Looking forward to future videos in the series as we finish more characters!
Weird question. So Mewtwo's tail lives in the Z axis for most of the time, running, idle, etc.
I wonder if moves like down smash from DDD can actually hit it when the move has active hitboxes on that axis?
Told ya it would be weird.
Up-B can be used out of a Gordo tilted upwards for a flashy, awesome suicide KO.
Inkling and DK pls. These videos from an outside like dont seem like much help for gameplay but they absolutely help me ALOT when looked deep down. Thank you for the info. Keep it up!
There was no explanation on How gordo can hit multiple times
Every hitbox in a nustell
That part about janky multi-hit airels is annoyingly true. Someday Samus will be able to use down throw into fair on super lightweights consistently, and it will be a glorious day.
