he's also grown immensely in power. the boss fights only show him using his power, and the bosses using him showed that he has a lot more up his sleeve than he uses to fight kirby. the boss fights involving copies of him, like the dedede clones in planet robobot also show him having some sort of new gimmick, leading me to believe he holds back during kirby's clashes, despite kirby being much stronger than anything else in his universe
Underrated thing here is how good the arena camerawork is. The thing moves around almost constantly but never in a way you can’t predict and never in a way that’s especially noticeable.
I came in without and abilities to show my respect too, but when he drops the hammer, you gotta go for it. He may be an ass at times, but he deserves respect
6:05 I never thought ddd could be so selfless and kind hearted to throw his waddle dees into the elevator to hold off the bad guys, it’s the ddd we all wanted….it makes me kinda sad 😢
Dedede, without fear, ran back to save a lone waddle dee out of billions. This is why I love that penguin and why he deserves to be my main in any game I can use him. Even a Kirby RPG, he would be on the team no matter what. Even if it means modding (Okay not really, but we'd all go the mile for the king)
At 2:56, Dedede is struggling to get the boar mask off, implying his will to avoid being manipulated is growing stronger (even though he failed to get it off but still) Which is HUGE improvement since Star Allies literally had his curiosity kill the cat just by looking at a fuckin Jamba Heart and effortlessly fall under control.
unrelated dedede fact: king dedede in most games is considered one of the most powerful beings on planet popstar which could be a reason as to why he keeps getting controlled to be used for power
1:20 man that second phase reminds all too well of Sundowner’s second phase in MGRR. The king really isn’t playing this time around to give up his hammer like that.
2:23 anyone else found it hilarious how King Dedede just got up and capture Kirby's friend while he and the Waddle Dees where doing a victory pose??🤣🤣😂
Ok but now Dedede is an elemental supahstah warriah because not only does he have electrokinesis in Pinball Land but also cryokinesis AND pyrokinesis (Fire Dedede, our hero!) AAAAAAND aerokinesis in Forgotten Land!
He's the first bottleneck to any invasion attempt. For every one that manages to grab him, there are probably a dozen others that crashed and burned at his gate.
well, if I'm not wrong, they reused his design from the anime for Star Allies, it's like they want to recover those old designs and give 'em a new chance
For the uninitiated entering the Kirby series with Forgotten Land, players are going to be led to believe that King Dedede is the main antagonist and the mastermind behind all the Waddle Dee kidnappings. Of course, for everyone else who's played a Kirby game will immediately know that that's not the case and figure out this is out of character for the king.
What I like the most is how expressive he is, despite having a more cartoonish(?) appearance, his expressions feel extra natural somehow, they really nailed his design here
I can't help but notice how chinichi shimomura games affect this one，mostly in its aesthetics, and one of the most clear examples of this for me is the king dedede design. You can notice it is very, very similar to the designs in kirby dreamland 3 and kirby 64.
I'd say the gameplay in Forgotten Land falls more in line with Shimomura's games too. Unlike RTDL, TDX, Robobot and Star Allies, which used the superstar formula of having 23+ abilities with varied movesets, Forgotten Land only has 12, and with relatively limited movesets (single-move abilities even return with needle). But instead of animal friends or ability fusions, the experimentation/unique thing they do with the abilities here comes in the form of upgrades that change how your copy ability behaves.
...what if Dedede was originally from the Forgotten Land? i mean, what if he was, like, born here yk??? what im trying to say is, what if Dedede freed the Waddle Dee's from lab discovera, and then left to popstar with them, and that's why the waddle dees are sworn to Dedede? i guess the question would be "how did Dedede travel from the Forgotten Land to Dreamland?" and one could also say "the waddle dees are from dreamland, they weren't inhabitants of the forgotten land" but, at the beginning of the game, doesn't it say something of helping to r e b u i l d the town?????
I'm just saying, there should be a minigame mode where you play as King Dedede. Keep the battlefield from Forgo Dedede, and just let then mini game be King Dedede, with his high health and attack power, fighting against the Beast Pack Horde. Seriously, all you have to do it make a moveset for King Dedede. Keep the arena, the models for all the characters, and maybe throw in a boss rush against Gorimondo, Clawroline, and Sillydillo. It makes sense for them to show up, since all of them were already in Rengar. You can even consider at some point in the fight, giving King Dedede his mask and second hammer. That's asking a bit much to be fair, but how cool would it be?
Am i the only one who gets the vibe that the waddle dee from the first cutscene is beginning and pleading for Dedede, There king, to snap out of it, to come to his senses before there cage is carried of by that bird?
He always does and did he tried to stop Nightmare but Kirby didn't know that, he gets corrupted by dark entities alot same goes for being a puppet to do bad so in reality King DeeDee is a good guy forced to bad
Man, if they make another Smash Bros, I really hope they *AT THE VERY LEAST* base Dedede on this new design, but it would be awesome so see them incorporate the fire and ice powers he gained here.
It probably wouldn’t happen but I would adore an expansion that adds “DeDeDes Revenge Tour” or something where you play as DeDeDe after he was freed and stuff
When the cutscene of him sacrificing himself came by at first I was like “NOOO” then I remember he fights Kirby regularly who’s a million times stronger than a horde of animals so I just laughed at myself for being stupid
Dedede sounds like he's gonna pose for the fans pose for the fans. When I first entered the arena for the first Dedede fight, I thought "This looks like the place in Resident Evil 4 where Ashley got kidnapped by a bug." Then, Elfilin got kidnapped by 11 birds.
Waddle dees have been helping king dedede even in his worts moments, dedede has become a king who is worry to protec his kingdom, if dedede had left behind a waddle dee 30 years of character developing would have gone to waste
doesn't really make up for all the waddle dees he sent out to fight kirby in the start of the series, they all died but most of the time, dedede is under mind control and is incapable of helping his minions
By the way in this game the main focus is to save waddle dees but everyone forgot all waddle dees who kirby killed even dedede and bandana dee kill a lot of waddle dees in previos games
Man dedede abandoning his weapon and using his hands reminds me of the hoarah loux boss fight from elden ring lmaoo and hes before the final boss which makes it even more funnier
I really like how far Dedede's come from being a villainous monarch to a heroic king who puts his subjects before himself.
He has truly achieved Chad Status
@@xthehedgicorn1330 you say that like he didn’t always have it.
Yyyyeeeeaaaahhhhh u rite
he went from sacrificing his most loyal waddle to helping a waddle he probably never knew like the snap of his fingers
he's also grown immensely in power.
the boss fights only show him using his power, and the bosses using him showed that he has a lot more up his sleeve than he uses to fight kirby.
the boss fights involving copies of him, like the dedede clones in planet robobot also show him having some sort of new gimmick, leading me to believe he holds back during kirby's clashes, despite kirby being much stronger than anything else in his universe
He really stood against a horde of wild animals just so kirby and the waddle dees could escape, what a legend
That scene really puts the King in King Dedede
2:24 Dedede is immune to the victory screen's time freeze effect.
Basically Dedede breaking the 4th wall.
That was funny af
He doesn’t even sneak up behind them, he just casually gets up, walks over and cages Elfillin like ‘lemme just grab this real quick’.
So it's the same kind of stand as Star Platinum.
It’s actually kind of spooky with how he’s just glaring into the camera like that.
6:06 "If saving the life of a loyal subject means my sacrifice, then I choose to die a king" - King Dedede, probably
2022 Bowser: Hahahah kindamp proncess.
2022 DeDeDe: If saving the life of a loyal subject means my sacrifice, then I choose to die a king.
2:23 is simultaneously hilarious and mildly scary, it's a shame that it only happens the first time you beat him
Literally Dedede breaking 4th wall.
He broke the rules
Its rated fear for a reason
"Um acksualee the fear is the animalgamation" 🤓
No. It isn't. It's Dedede. He recreated The Fear.
Kirby Clear
2:24 I like how he casually defies time and space and ignores the game mechanics and gets up to complete his mission
Underrated thing here is how good the arena camerawork is. The thing moves around almost constantly but never in a way you can’t predict and never in a way that’s especially noticeable.
Unless you play co-op
I think I've had it happen once, but even then only once isn't bad especially since I 100% the game
Phantom/EX Bosses: Ahem... You were saying?
I fought DDD with basic Hammer out of respect for his majesty, he deserves a fair duel.
Yeah it's not his fault for being misunderstood/possessed/forced doing bad stuff

Well, of course cause elfilin doesn't know who dedede is.
At 2:56, Dedede is struggling to get the boar mask off, implying his will to avoid being manipulated is growing stronger (even though he failed to get it off but still)

Ok but now Dedede is an elemental supahstah warriah because not only does he have electrokinesis in Pinball Land but also cryokinesis AND pyrokinesis (Fire Dedede, our hero!) AAAAAAND aerokinesis in Forgotten Land!
Can he avoid getting mind controlled.... for five minutes?
well he is one of planet popstars most powerful inhabitants so not really
Before his 2nd fight he actually struggled to get the mask off him so he clearly improved since he succumbed to staring down a fuckin Jamba Heart
He's the first bottleneck to any invasion attempt. For every one that manages to grab him, there are probably a dozen others that crashed and burned at his gate.
I like how dedede came from a rivalry filled with his deceit then it becoming a rivalry based on honor and respect
I like his model looks like the Kirby 64 one,A.K.A. *the forgotten model.*

Dedede’s not even a villain if we’re being honest. He’s more of an anti hero/hero
@@donathan2933 even antihero is a bit pushing it. I'd consider dedede a full-on hero.

As a JoJo and Kirby fan...
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY LIKE
Hes no longer the big fat penguin
Hes THE big fat penguin
nice king fo panda refrence
Love how his star Allies theme is getting more use
Dedede gets more badass with every game. I love it.
I really like this design, the last one looked like it was an attempt at a goofy design, this goes all the way and I love him.
Kirby: this church is incredible! It must have taken them years to carve these pillars!
Dedede: Bada-bam. I made a club. Five seconds, tops.
Nice atlantis reference 👌

It's not a new design. It's reusing an old N64 design
dint know king ddd had a club penguin avatar 💀💀
I love how king dedede is actually menacing in this game, rather than just a fat penguin.
Agreed
6:06 i like how royal payback plays here... If it's one of his old themes then sorry, i don't remember those ones too well
To be fair Masked/Dedede/Royal Payback is just a differently arranged Dedede theme
