User blog:SketchFalcon/Was Dedede's New Final Smash Disappointing?

I must admit, before anything much was known about the game, King Dedede was high on my list of characters that I wished would get a new Final Smash. And lo and behold, he was one of the few characters that did!

However, as I watch videos showcasing his new FS, I'm beginning to feel a little dissatisfied. Essentially, Dedede's new Final Smash is him Super-Inhaling opponents, hitting them with a hammer, and finally throwing a bomb at them. While it does retain some familiarity with the Kirby series, especially with the bomb, I felt that it was just too short and didn't really have anything special to it.

It doesn't kill anywhere near 0%, but I don't care much about that as no Final Smash really does that anymore except for Critical Hit. But...even though Waddle Dee Army was oftentimes much weaker than this, it just felt...right. No other character's Final Smash turned the stage into a swarming hell. Plus, Waddle Dee Army was pretty much the only Final Smash where you couldn't completely avoid it. Now, Dedede just traps enemies and gives them a beating. Sound like any other Final Smash to you? How about 15 or so of them?

Now, while I think Waddle Dee Army is better than Dedede Burst, I still think Waddle Dee Army should be improved upon. With what, you may ask. Well, Masked Dedede! It is a very well-known Kirby powerup, and plus, no other Kirby character has a transformation-type Final Smash. So, what do you think? Dedede Burst is OK? Back to Waddle Dee Army? Or maybe...greater things.
