Changes: Super Dedede Jump

Revision as of 20:56, 14 October 2014

Super Dedede Jump is King Dedede's Up Special Move. He jumps extremely high, then crashes down.

Overview

If a foe is struck by Dedede's underside on the way down, they are spiked. If caught under Dedede's weight upon impact, they are shot at a 45-degree angle sideways. Foes can also be hit by two stars that appear at Dedede's sides upon impact with the ground. The jump can be angled by pressing left or right while Dedede is turning to face the screen before he actually jumps, but once in the air, there is no control over it. He is vulnerable when he lands, so one can cancel the move by pressing down if it looks risky. However, if it is done too close to the ground, when Dedede lands, he will become even more vulnerable: instead of just getting up, he will fumble around before getting up, forcing strategy when using the move. If Dedede hits a ceiling while using the move, or cancels it in midair, he will fall Helplessly.

Unlike most other Up Special Moves in the game, this move does not auto-sweetspot the edge. However, if the move is canceled close enough to the edge, Dedede will snap to it. It is also possible to use the Super Dedede Jump as an edgeguarding move.

Origin

The Super Dedede Jump is one of King Dedede's main attacks from the Kirby series, including his debut in Kirby's Dream Land. In the Kirby games, when Dedede lands, two stars would appears on each side of him which Kirby could swallow and spit them back at King Dedede, though Kirby can't swallow the stars in Brawl. Being able to cancel the attack and land normally is a new addition added in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and makes it reminiscent of the "High Jump" ability from Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Nightmare in Dream Land that shares the same properties.

Gravity

Amusingly enough, if this move is used under a Low-Gravity effect, Dedede comes down at a ridiculously slow speed, and can travel absurd distances horizontally. By the same token, its utility as a recovery move is hampered by high-gravity effects, but it becomes much more difficult to avoid.

Trivia

The sound made while jumping is nearly similar to the sound made by zooming the map in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
