Ranking How USELESS Dedede is in Every Kirby Game 

With how often he gets possessed, Dedede has more in common with Princess Peach and Zelda than he does Bowser and Ganon.

3:23 SORTA cares? Listen, I don't wanna be that dude, but Dedede definitely cares about Kirby. He stopped being a villain since the very first game, and nowadays he's just a good guy. He does care, a lot, abou Kirby. They're not enemies, they're friendly rivals, leaning more on the ”friendly” part. More people should learn this.

great video, but unfortunately i'm left thinking… if only there were a convenient solution for taking my nintendo switch on the go

I know it doesn't count, but Subspace Emissary would be an easy elite. Dedede's the only reason Tabuu doesn't just immediately win when he off-waves everybody 3/4 of the way through the game, & he even smacks down Bowser along the way.

Sacrifice: C- Playable: S+

Bro was possessed 1000000 times Won’t be surprised if that happens in the next Kirby game

I'm really looking forward to this video. I hope you do more of this series with Korby characters, specificallt Meta Knight. Sometimes he's the goat, other times he does nothing to help with the main plot even though hes a good guy.

I feel like King Dedede needs some therapy to get over that there brainwashing.

I would give some more merit to forgotten land dedede, since he is just brainwashed and not controlled/possessed, it means that the boss fights were his own power, and he is way more dangerous than in revenge of the king where you put him in elite. Also for the second fight, dedede is already actively fighting the brainwashing, that is why he is wearing a mask, it keeps him even more brainwashed

King Dedede is like the opposite of the "the final boss when I fight him (tough), the final boss when I unlock him as a playable character (weak)" meme.

You can see in crystal shards from Kirby's face that he thinks here we go again. You can expect King Dedede to be possessed in every new game, it has become something of a running joke

I know it doesn't really count as a Kirby game, but in Smash Bros Brawl he'd be elite I think in Subspace Emmissary story due to his badge plan leading to the bad guy being defeated in the end. And the game sort of feels like a kirby game in a way with the way the story plays out without dialog. Probably not surprising considering Kirby's creator was in charge of the game.

He gets possessed HOW many times? My Penguin in Sakurai, this isn't the Evil Dead.

Forgot about the times when Dedede is an ally in the intro. Hell, he was at peak good guy during Brawl, but that probably doesn't count for the list since it's not a Kirby game. In any case... "This paints him as super helpless-" Kirby just soundly kicked his ass and the dude is still trying to stop Kirby from putting the Star Rod back for the good of the people of Dream Land/Popstar. Also Dedede didn't really help Kirby fight Nightmare. Just shot him off in the right direction and let Kirby do all the work, really. So I guess it balances out to still be 'sorta useful', but still. Yeah, how dare King Dedede just lie there after having the shit kicked out of him by Kirby. Not saying that he's not worthless in Dream Land 2 but seems a bit unfair to say that he's 'just lying there' when he got the shit kicked out of him due to something he hadn't even done. "Sorta cares about Kirby" Well, yeah. Deep down, aside from the first game (and Spring Breeze) Dedede does care about the people of Dream Land/Popstar. You know, as a king should be. And that includes Kirby. Also despite their differences he does know that Kirby is generally doing the right thing, or at least, does the right thing in the end, and after having spent several games being possessed, it makes sense he'd want to do something to help out. ...I'm questioning if Epic Yarn should even be on this list since it's definitely more of a spin-off than a mainline game, especially since it didn't start off life as a Kirby game at all and definitely doesn't fit the usual Kirby gameplay style. I wouldn't say that Dedede is 'just as useful' as Kirby, considering he is locked to the Hammer ability, but yeah, Epic all the same. "These guys don't get along all that well-" *clears throat and points at Crystal Shards and Return to Dreamland* Literally the only times they've fought since Dream Land is down to misunderstandings and Dedede getting possessed. ...Well that and Revenge of the King, but still. I dunno if he was full-on possessed in Forgotten Land... or at least, not in the same way as with other fights where he was possessed or directly controlled. It seems more like he was possessed by the thing he was being possessed by wasn't directly controlling him like with Dark Matter. He was still being left to fight the way he would. He does go kinda apeshit in the second phase of his second fight but he is still doing the fighting rather than someone using him as a puppet. It's more like he was driven mad than being possessed. And as we see, he's come a long way as a king from when he was stealing everyone's food for himself.

I literally just went through the playlist of 14 and damn near had my jaw fell off when I saw this

Your ranking is spot-on, and the examples you used were perfect.

Now we finally get to see how useless the giant penguin is.

One thing that I do like in Forgotten Land is that in the snowy levels, right before the DeDeDe fight, there’s a bridge level where Meta Knight stayed to patrol (it’s an Easter egg), however it states that he could not go further because of some « great power » showing that DeDeDe became way stronger than usual even at the first fight.

For a fat penguin with a Cartman hat Dedede can be surprisingly badass

*Ok, my favorite DD is Forgetten Land.* *No seriously, even if he is possessed again, I love how the ost and how they developed him, the problem is that he is not playable as a character.*

Fun fact if you slow down the game then you can see that it is a waddle dee that steals the cake so maybe it is king dedede after all

Peach = *The best ruler at getting kidnapped.* Dedede = *The best ruler at getting possessed*

Okay, one thing about Forgotten Land you forgot: Dedede WON the battle against the army of the Beast Pack. He don't just hold them off, he 100% defeated an entire ARMY of Beast Pack members. Now, I dunno if that would have been a deciding factor for Kirby defeating Fecto Forgo and such, but at the very least, he ensured Kirby could take on the remaining bosses 1v1. I think that makes him more than just 'Sorta Useful.' Maybe not Elite, but definitely Pretty Capable.

Hey, at least Dedede's character development was pretty good.

A video about sakuri’s greatest gift to mankind

King dedede in smash bros brawls au space emissary was literally the savior of the entire smash cast at the time! Elite please and thank you!

the only reason he was probably laying there in Dreamland 3 was probably because he was tired so leave him alone 2:17

do you Remember my Idea of ranking how useful every playable Super Smash Bros Brawl character was in Subspace Emissary?

I think for KatFL he should be more useful because If I recall correctly he helped make Waddle Dee Town which was the main base of operations for the entire game.

Just a small correction that Epic Yarn is considered a spin-off rather than a mainline game, but nice video!

Fun fact: Since Kirby Super Star/Super Star Ultra comes before rhe Amazing Mirror (chronologically speaking), and since Meta Knight defeated Galacta Knight, and then later he gets defeated by Dark Meta Knight, who later Dedede defeats in Triple Deluxe, it is implied that King dedede could also defeat Galacta Knight on his own, putting him in the top alongside Meta Knight and Kirby in power.

THE LEGEND HAS POSTED !! new sub who started watching like 2 weeks ago here lol

Fat Penguin learns how to get over fascism and becomes the biggest homie-the series.

We all know Dedede is basically a Tsundere. He's not showing it outright, but he does care for his people... in his own weird way.

Dedede will always be the Star of the Show. Dedede is the name you should know!

Shouldn't Kirby's Dreamland 2, 3 and epic yarn be in "barely does anything"? I mean, fighting you is at least doing something, even if he's being controlled... Btw you missed canvas curse, mass attack and the rainbow curse.

I'd argue Forgotten Land Dedede be moved up to Pretty Capable. He sacrificed his own life for one Waddle Dee, something the old Dedede would never have done. Especially since at the end of the game all that happens to the king is he gets exhausted and just lounges in front of the Arena.

Video idea Mario kart tour vs sonic speed battle witch one got the better Mobile game

I love it!! I can understand most of your ratings❤

What about Games Like Canvas Curse and Battle arena game or The others. He has big roles there. I mean HES THE MAIN ATTRACTION FOR YHE BATTLE ARENA GAME.

King Dedede try not to get possessed by the main villain: (challenge next to impossible)

I feel Dedede Tour deserves a bit more credit since it contains the games actual ending where Dedede uncovers that Dark Meta Knight used the Amazing Mirror to brainwash Queen Sectonia and pushes his shit in before destroying the mirror.

Okay this is an awesome list. Damn I actually haven't played that much of Kirby and the forgotten Land. I tried live streaming it on day one when I got it but because Josh scorcher also known as fiery joker was live streaming it at the same time almost nobody watched my live stream at all and I was planning on live streaming some more at a later time but just never got around to it and for some reason haven't actually played it again since. I don't think I need the live stream it for any reason because nobody's going to watch it but perhaps I should just play through the rest of the game when I have some time off.

YES!!! THE MAN!!! THE MYTH!!! THE SWOLEN!!!

King dedede in forgotten land being "sorta useful" is wild. You get it? "Wild"

Can we get one for Meta Knight?

6:27 thats definitely not evil

King D D *D*

you seem to have forgotten mass attack and the rainbow games

If forgotten land dedede doesn’t go into elite tier for saving some random waddle dee because he’s just that cool of a character right now then I’m going to tell you a lot of unsettling facts

7:23 Didnt King Dedede also launch Kirby with a cannon at Sectonias vines to help him reach Sectonias final phase?

Anyone else think the best telling of Dedede is from Kirby 64?

Can you do toad next? Or bowser jr, metal sonic or ganondorf. I love the worthless to Elite series.

In squeak squad, we see that the chest has dark nebula, the ruler of the underworld, in it. it’s in dededes castle. so the only logical explanation is that he sealed dark nebula and deserves a higher tier.

Can we talk about how 'Revenge of the King' in SSU is literally just D-man stealing Meta Knight's entire playbook from Super Star Forgotten Land Dedede is best Dedede, matched only by Brawl Subspace Emissary Dedede

Proving that penguins should be kings since 1992

Please do a video on the metroid series!!! How useless was Ridley? Or how many planets did Samus destroy?

Poor DDD I think there should be a tier like "Strong but Possesed" like Knuckles being manipulated by somenone

In the videos where Tails, Knuckles and Amy in Frontiers maybe put them a little bit higher yes you can only play as them after you beat the game in update 3 but they did help Sonic get all the chaos Emeralds in the final update so maybe put them 1 or two tiers higher

I'm curious will the next video be on Meta Knight or Waddle Dee

You forgot dedede’s drumdash

1:07 Super helpless? The guy just got walloped by Kirby. Most enemies don't walk away from that!

Next video: Ranking how Useless Cream the Rabbit in Sonic the hedgehog Games Ranking how Useless Rouge the Bat in Sonic the hedgehog games

Ranking How USELESS Palutena is in Every Kid Icarus Game (a little...and Super Smash Bros...I guess) Or Ranking How USELESS Toad is in Every Mario Game

King Dedede is a very funny villain in any Kirby Games! He's also very entertaining in Kirby Right Back At Ya along with his henchman Escargoon. Also I'm not sure how useless King Dedede really is to be honest.😂🤔

Dude sacrifed his image, identity, and self worth to put a demonic entity at bay and he gets "sorta useful"

Can you do Ranking How Useless Toad is in Every Mario Game and Ranking How Useless Rouge is in Every Sonic Game next? Thx. Also, great vid btw.

Masked DDD deserves an elite for the theme alone lmao

He was known with a DNA of Slaking and Slakoth

4:36 I’m including a remake for the first time. Your Amy useless video, You didn’t have to cut me off…..

How useless is Proto Man?

“Every [Series] game” includes spinoffs, therefore the earlier names are lies.

Funny because why is King dedede in your villains playlist he's not even a villain he's one of Kirby's best friends

Forgotten land dedede 100% deserves Elite

Okay so multiple boss fights, uses a fuckin pillar as an attack, saves a waddle Dee. SORTA USEFUL??

He’s the most useful in forgotten land because he sacrifices himself

I just noticed how similar Dedede voice is to Shyguy

I see no E-shop titles on here, which is a shame, you should see Kirby Fighters 2.

King Dedede got that suavemente power ngl.

What about the subspace Emissary

Here for the Kirby content

You forgot to mention dedede’s drum dash deluxe

actually since the player is the one who actually controls Kirby you're the one who actually screwed up 1:33

1:14 Uh oh

Meta knight needs a teir list

do meta knight next

I like your videos

In Kirby star allies u forgot his alternate universe version of him and his still ez with the 3 sisters but without them it’s kinda challenging

okay the forgotten land one getting sorta useful is just not very logical I would have at least expected for you to put him in pretty capable, i mean, without him the final boss wouldnt have ever gotten his second half and made the rest of the post-game happen... though i do suppose i am rather confused at the definition of him being "useful" here

Honestly... Dedede kinda after he stops being antagonistic.

Forgot block ball?

Hi there. I was just hoping to get permission to use your king dedede clip here in one of my Nintendo videos. The concept is using Nintendo characters to build wealth (i.e. getting their positive traits). Let me know if this is a problem or how to acknowledge you etc. Thank you so much! :)

Bro did you forget Dedede Tour in Triple Deluxe? And how hes the one to destroy the evil mirror that corrupted sectonia

Was it Hypernova kirby or Supernova? I always got the names mixed up

1:13 (ULTRA MENACING)

Multi phased, this isn't elden ring

I think it's Meta Knight's turn next, right?

you should do Meta Knight next

is there even a ranking Kirby video?

How dare you call him "useless" when he is my boyfriend
