BigD is credited with being the best D3 player, though I don't think he plays him anymore. If you want to see some crazy D3 play, watch Girthquake. He has amazing gordo setups and traps.

D3 pulls out gordo. Gordo get's reflected -> double damage D3's animation to send the gordo off hits which reflects the gordo -> more damage You have some rage. Ad it all up and you get a really powerful hit.

If they are doing the offstage inhale at 100%, just wait till they regrab the ledge in shield (You aren't affected by wind boxes in shield, just stay a bit further from the ledge), and down smash. If they are standing on the side of the stage doing inhale, just space a side-B over it. Mac's side...

I like all of this, though I would definately like to see something happen with jet hammer. It's pretty useless/very situational. I think the only time I ever pull it out is to bait a counter, and that only really works on FG. Also if the cancel height for bAir could be lowered, it would be...

My wishlist: 1. Increase shield damage to the crash down sweet spot of Super Dedede jump. This move can currently just be shielded and punished. 2. Decrease the ending lag when Dedede swallows a projectile or give him health back for eating it. 3. Remove the hit stun when someone is mashing...

Dedede's combo game is weak, the best you really have are d-throw -> various things based on percent. There are some more difficult strings like fastfall nair/uair -> grab -> dthrow -> whatever, but other than that, you're better off playing defensively. Your main goal as a dedede should be to...

We don't have any cool combos.

It is possible to do that, I think I've actually seen D3 grab the gordo and re-throw it off of a dtilt as well, though I could be mistaken about that. While it is possible to activate the same animation as air dodge with sideB, I don't recommend it at all since it is so much slower than the...

That can work, the other thing you can do it just keep your distance as much as possible. D3 suffers from major mobility issues. My game play style tends towards trying to be fortress and poking with gordos until the opponent approaches. If you ever see your friend dashing, just spot dodge and...

Playing as D3, the two best options for a reflect back are Dtilt and Nair, either that or get your shield up asap.

I've been collecting replays for a compilation. Hopefully I have time to put it together at some point.

Oh yeah, I know all about the applications for up-B crash down off the ledge, I even did a write up on it in the D3 tech thread. You can also use it to bury opponents on the ledge if you time it right. Not to get too off topic here, but d throw -> utilt is a great opener and it gets a few %...

I have more usage for Dair than Jet Hammer. Jet hammer get's poke stopped too easily, Dair takes a good hard read to use, but if you get used to how other characters recover low, it's actually decent as a fast fall option kill option off stage. Jet hammer on the other hand, while it can be...

Is that list posted somewhere in the research thread? That would be great information to have on hand :)

Only if the other player makes no other inputs. It can be shielded, dodged out of or just DIed out of. It's easy to do on people who don't know, but I think any move that is <4 frames beats it. Mario can even stick a jab in there. :(
