Let's do another character, King Dedede!!!

It's hard to differ Dedede from his incarnation in Smash Bros. I decided to make him more traditionally like his incarnations in the Kirby games, using numerous attacks from the Hammer Ability, as well as his own boss fights. He'd be a bit heavier and slower than his incarnation in Smash, as the mask and jet hammer might be slowing him a bit.

Neutral B: Dedede places his hammer down and fires missles out of his jet hammer, like how he can in Kirby Super Star Ultra. They can home into opponents, similar to Samus's homing missles. One can come out every 2 seconds, and 3 can be out at a time. If you hold the B Button instead of simply pressing it, Dedede fires out a flamethrower out of the jet hammer, again from Kirby Super Star Ultra.

Side B: Dedede uses his iconic slide attack, where he slams on the ground and slightly forward. Nothing special, it can do quite a bit of damage.

Up B: Dedede's Up B is just like his Up B in Smash. However, similar to this attack in Star Allies, it can let out small shockwaves in each side.

Down B: Dedede uses the Hammer Ability's "Hammer Twirl", where Dedede spins his hammer below himself. It can create sparks below Dedede that can electrocute those close. It also can draw fighters in closer to Dedede. Dedede can only do this attack for 5 seconds before recharge.

Dedede's Astral Finish is based on Masked Dedede's Revenge from Kirby Triple Deluxe. Dedede grabs a magical axe and swings it forward. If caught, Dedede unleashes a barrage of magical attacks, ending with a crushing blow with the axe's hilt. It's very similar to his current final smash.

King Dedede would be a starter character.

I listed off Dedede's costumes on a seperate thread, but I'm putting them here for reference:

Masked Dedede, Masked Dedede's Revenge (Complete with partially cracked mask), Shadow Dedede (With Mask), Parallel Dedede (with Mask), and four alts without the mask, referencing his alts in Kirby Star Allies.

His home stage is the Dedede Arena seen in Kirby Super Star. It plays the same as it does in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, however, if Dedede is not in the match, he appears like he does in that stage and throws in Waddle Dees and Gordos to hit fighters.

Dedede's first taunt has him laugh while pointing to himself, similar to in King K. Rool's reveal trailer. His second taunt has him jab his stomach while his hammer is on his shoulder, similar to a victory from the Smash Bros series. The last taunt has him pull out one of three things, an Energy Sphere, a Gordo, or Bandana Dee, look at it, and throw it to the side. This doesn't have a hitbox, he just pulls them out for laughs.

Dedede's first victory animation has him lean on the ground, just like in Smash Ultimate as his crouching animation. His scond has him do his own version of the Kirby dance, seen in Return to Dream Land and Star Allies. His last has him swing his hammer numerous times before ending in a pose reminiscent to his art for the first KFAD. This is the pose where he would say his win quotes. Most of them would be from the tournament itself, but shortened a bit. Of course, there would be new ones for the newcomers, and for characters that changed like MAP. An example of a new one is when he beats Nintendo Power and exclaims "And now you give those donuts to me Bill!", a reference to Bill eating the donuts in a Yokai Watch commercial, which is also referenced in his art. Another could be when he beats Law and Disorder and says something like "And now you know who has the better hammer!" A reference to Monokuma's punishment hammer.
