King Dedede's up-b a meteor smash?

In this video around 00:35-00:36, it can be seen knocking an aerial ZSS down. Possibly a spike?

I noticed this too, but idk whether it's a spike or a meteor smash though. It's a shame we'll probably never get to use it though, it being his Up-B n' all. (maybe if you were edgeguarding, stayed still after jumping straight up, and cancelled it right after it hit so you could grab the edge)

 

[Metrosexualbluehairedlord]

Yeah, that's definitely a meteor. Can you cancel out of the dropping motion? Cause that would make it more useful.

Its no Signature Ganon Thunderstomp, but it is kinda similiar

Not a bad idea

Yeah you can, but it puts you into the special fall, which is why it would be so risky to use off the stage (where it would actually be useful)

Actually, when the oppenent is on his last stock, just knock him down to hell while he is off stage.

This really isn't that feasible of a technique, as the move drops you down right after you hit the top of the jump. So in other words, weather you miss or hit you're pretty much screwed. Especially if you miss because of the special fall that it puts you in.

 

[IrishSheikah]

I think that special fall is called "helpless"

unusable, unless is dedecide

From what i heard, unless there is really high damage, Dedecide is HARD!

Dedede's Up+B is a meteor smash. It's performed when the target is in the air, under Dedede.

At 3:31 to 3:34 you can see Dedede *meteor smashes* Gimpy's metaknight with the Up+B. Dedede chant is afterwards.

De's up B is indeed a meteor on the way down, if you catch someone with it in the air coming down it will a) spike them into the pit, killing them or b) spike them onto the stage where you immediately fall into them (untechable) killing most characters at 120ish

 

[Yoshi Kirishima]

wait... isn't a spike and meteor smash the same thing, except a meteor is from a smash?

"I noticed this too, but idk whether it's a spike or a meteor smash though."

so it would be a spike right? or at least a meteor without the samsh in "meteor smash"

That's awesome.

Kirby's up+b does the same thing (and Ike's too probably) because the move is supposed to spike them down onto the stage where you hit them again when it lands. But sometimes, there is no stage under them!

I call it 'freefall'.

 

[handsockpuppet]

having it a meteor is great, but it kinda stinks when DIing after your up+B to recover. but then agfain, DeDeDe doesn't need it.
