It's very easy to play him well. His moves string together easily enough, can attack on all sides and are very very powerful. You have great spacing moves like ftilt and dtilt. Fighting at close range is never an issue with your enormous grab range. If your crew doesn't play too many DDD's, you'll probably shock them.
It's very difficult to play him VERY well. You're big and slow, and not as heavy as you might want to be. Evasive characters like ZSS have a tendency to leave you in the dust. Smaller characters will almost always juggle you. Your inability to move in the air is a real hindrance, as characters like Yoshi will bob and weave in and out of your range. It also means you're very prone to getting spiked, and with your tiny tiny secondary jumps, you won't get much height after air-dodging. So then you'll have to do the SUPER ELBOW DROP and that's truly awful against good players. Some moves like Inhale and Jet Hammer are extremely useful, but take a lot of forethought and creativity to work.
His learning curve isn't very steep until you get to the higher level...which is true of everyone, I guess.
On a side note, my friends and I love your videos. Whenever we sit down to play Smash, one person always has to say "Guess what, little kid? I'm 'bout to THREE-STOCK your ***."
"Wax that ***" is popular too.

WOP WOP WOP
His B-Air and F-air chain into each other really well. and with his 5 jumps you could easily carry them off the stage id you get it right and recover.
Also, Reverse Aerial Rushing (RAR) B-Airs help you to approach taller characters and lead onto a WOP, it's not as useful against smaller characters but if you initiate while rising or fast fall it , it can get a kill at the right percent.
oh and Waddle Dees aren't just minions, there your friends, a great projectile, a shield and can even cushion blows, use then wisely.
(I know this may seem a little obvious, or stupid but i'm not used to giving advice, but i'd thought i'd try)

I think this was not mentioned before, King Dedede has two advanced techniques. One is his Jab Lock, which is not as useful, but it racks up damage and it is somewhat hard to learn. Second is B-Reversal, the true advanced technique for any character, and I know how to use it very well with his Inhale.

You might want to learn the timing of the chaingrab on each character. At first i couldn't CG Pit and Diddy because i didn't get the timing right. Now i can CG both most of the time.

DDD is easy to learn it but to use it at very high lvl is a "bit"complicated. being such a big target , easy to juggle, a bit slow, predictable and punishable recovery , and a punishable Ftilt if the Ftilt get Powershielded. I will post later.

to be a king yous send you minions to do all the dirty work, then you wait for your enemy to approach or screw up, my D3 matches last long because I tend to camp, also you cant forget to sit on them if you know what I mean,

Dedede may be slow, but he matches up well against a lot of characters. And the ones he doesn't match up well against get KO'ed at like 30% by a uncharged f-smash... so.... :D
In all honesty, Inhale is so much more amazing than people think. It screws up super aggressive approaches that dont have ******** hitboxes.
WoP and CG ftw. Also, multi-hit u-air and d-air really hurt shields.
And rocket hammer + mindgames = win.
I agree on the fact that there aren't very many AT's for DDD, but there are things that you can do just to surprise people, and if Ike were good, he'd be DDD lol.

There's one secret to being a King that we should all take into consideration.
You have to Belieeeeeevee that you are a King, and all should come to you in time.

Tank McCannon is my hero.
In order to truly believe you are King, you must proclaim yourself to be King, like the first Dedede did. Then you must beat the **** out of all naysayers, such as MK and Kirby. Then your Waddle Dee, Doos, and Gordos
will become your loyal SWAT team of enforcers of whatever law you please.
Only THEN are you ready to break the dimensions and become king of other universes, especially Mario's.
Because Italian Plumbers are fun to repeatedly sit on.

Somethings you read on the internet are truly genius, this my friend, is one of them.
Thank you.
I try.
On Topic:
I've never really had big problems with any character but ICs and Olimar, because I know who to deal with Falco.
I, if the match is played smart, think it's closer to even. On same note, I think it's Snake's advantage when he plays in the same way you play against Falco, extra super campy.
Or maybe I'm not very good at countering great nade placement :/.
I use a combination of OverB to block out the lasers, and ftilt to poke. And of course, shield grabbing.

Couple things to take note of:
Inhale detonates his mine, and if snake is near it, the explosion detonates him. Try it. Of course it requires the right spacing.

Also, inhaling nades damages you, but make it 0 knockback, something that is situationally useful.
Something practice will help you learn how to time is spiking snake when hes recovering. Snakes recovery path is really predictable, and DDD's up B spikes him quite well.
CG all day long, KO with dtilt after CG, all that good stuff. I'd call it 55-45 in your favor if played well?
I usually get punished if I inhale the nades, it has pretty much lag.
My problem is actually getting the grab, and it's hard to CG with all the nades/mines everywhere.
I've always had problems with any of the characters I've played, which id pretty much all over the months/year.

I think i've found against Snake is don't over use you Waddle Dees against him.
At long range it's fine and they can pad against Nades quite well, but once he starts to get closer move on. Snake has time to spot dodge into and Up tilt before the lag on the throw finishes. And Snake doesn't have the fastest spot dodge by any stretch.

insane ddd players can take down mks who vomit attacks.
D3's learning curve would probably have to be getting the hang of his size/weight. Shield canceled chain grabs are something to practice on, but its much easier to do vs something like motar slide. Usually my take on D3 is;
Keep everything as lagless as possible
Grab to punish [chain grab even]
Use tilts[D+F]
keep utilt and smashes very fresh
If im not WOP with Bair [chain grabbing] then im keeping it extremely fresh
The cool thing is, a fresh dtilt at the edge of a platform can kill a light weight at around 130%
