While Dedede may be at a disadvantage in a 1-on-1 match, a competent partner in team battles can set up opponents to take the full force of his attacks.

Oh, no, I don't play Dedede in serious matches. I only play him when I want to be silly.

Speaking of being silly as Dedede, I just had an awesome moment. So, I was doing what I said I was going to do (just lay around the stage as Dedede in For Fun), and we happened to be on the Pyrosphere stage. I decided I was going to attack as little as possible, like usual...except that I would go after Ridley to get him on my side.

I got him on my side.

I just won a match with five KOs without actually knocking anybody off myself. Ridley did all the work for me. It was glorious.

Dedede is sorta considered one of the worse characters in the game and while I'm not saying you should drop him, part of the reason you might struggle is that you're using a character that is already in a disadvantage against many common characters online.

Welp, this is embarrassing... I tend to have quite some trouble against Dededes. I blame mostly dem Gordos... and a couple of misplaced counters here and there.

So hey guys I decided on a secondary for real this time.

Do Pit and Dark Pit count as one secondary since they're based on the same template?

I secondary Pit, but by being good with him I'm good with Dark Pit by proxy so...

Don't be too sure. Since Dark Pit's arrows are slower and don't curve as much, that would imply that they do more damage/knockback. Yeah, it doesn't sound like much, but that means you're gonna have to make sure your opponent is more in the line of fire, like Toon Link's bow, which I actually use for edgeguarding.

There's really no reason for you to use Dark Pit over Pit other than liking the character more anyway. Any differences between the two are skewed in Pit's favor, you mainly use Dark Pit depending of what character you're going against.

Dark Pit always feels too soft to me. It makes Light Pit seem heavier (ironically), but I like my direct hits.

Man, I came across the perfect people for my silly-Dedede For Fun saga. I met at least three or four people who went along with my antics and also started avoiding attacking and just kept taunting or crouching. Eventually we all had silly names relating to our characters (I wanted mine to be "HailToTheKing", but it was too long so I just went with "DaKing"). It was fantastic.

This definitely rekindled my joy of Smashing and got me out of an all-around funk I'd been in today. I'm in a rather good mood now. smile

Pretty much the only thing I prefer about Dark Pit is the Electroshock Arm, though I still prefer playing Pit.

I prefer Dark Pit for some reason. No actual reason, I just like playing as him more.

@Zarek: Happy I can help. Remember, It's absolutely not worth "Smashing" your 3DS/Wii U over something like this. I speak from experience, as I was also getting increasingly frustrated with my For Glory losing streak.

No joke, I almost ended up chucking my 3DS at the ceiling, but thankfully it ended up unscathed. Not my proudest moment by a long shot. I think that's when I left For Glory and went over to For Fun, and started to smile at the game again. There's just something so refreshing about playing on normal stages.

So yeah, consider me in the same boat.smile

I prefer playing as Dark Pit, partly due to the Electroshock Arm and partly due to DAT VICTORY MUSIC!

I like Pittoo more than Pit.

Speaking of clones, I prefer Lucina over Marth as well.

Everyone I know is contractually obligated to disrespect anyone that plays Dark Pit unironically.

Even though I like Dark Pit more, I play as Pit more because Pit's alts have more of a calming effect on me.

I main mostly low-tier characters anyway. Highest up the line is Pac-Man.

Although also remember that tiers are calculated for stock 1v1, and not for time 4x4. The guys i use are better in time, as they (even Kirby) focus on heavy hits and finishing.

#70469: Mar 13th 2015 at 6:36:11 AM

Same here. I use Marth as a secondary, despite never having played the FE games. I'm here to make him valuable again.

Okay, sorta. Also, I just love the satisfaction of a successful Counter.tongue

[up] I would highly recommend playing Fire Emblem: Awakening if you haven't played a FE game before.

My main is probably the one most disagreed on tier-wise. I've seen Shulk on tier lists placing him in A, in B, and in D, and I don't doubt that he'll keep getting placed all over in future tier lists.

[up][up]Ditto. I'm also using Rosalina, although nice S tiers mean jack when you're still barely handling her.

The only thing preventing me from using Robin is the fact that he's literally the slowest character in the game.

Beepbeep boop beep boop! (Mr. Game & Watch!)

Oh, and also Sonic and Rosalina (& Luma).

I seem to do best with Beep-man, so he's the top out of the three. Though that doesn't mean I claim to be an expert... Heheh.
