I can't believe that my least favourite fighter (pikachu) is amazing and my main (dedede) sucks in this game, lol

Pikachu got buffed a lot... Basically he's going to be the new Melee Fox, basically a lightweight fighter that can easily chip at health pools while also dodging literally everything with his new dash. As for Dedede, he was also pretty terrible in Smash 4, though if anything since the buffing of other heavies and the introduction of K. Rool, he's only getting worse in the Smash Ultimate meta. His frame data is so bad even compared to other heavies, and he still is going to retain a lot of his issues with ending lag.

I'm pretty curious to see how Pikachu will fare out if that's the case. There always seems to be that one broken character in each Smash.

I was disappointed that Dedede sucked in Smash 4, but to know that he's even worse is pretty lame to me, lol. I'll still play as him, but I missed him back in Brawl. He wasn't broken, but he was pretty decent then + his Side B and Final Smash were stupidly fun to use. I'm probably looking into K. Rool or Snake if Dedede really does suck badly in Ultimate.

He's always been a pretty strong character, but honestly, he's going to be even stronger than freaking Bayonetta to be honest. Sure Bayonetta is still going to just be downright stupid, but Pikachu just has so much speed, so much damage, and an insanely good recovery, which is looking to be pretty important in Ultimate as well.

King K. Rool and Snake both sound like solid substitutes for Dedede. K. Rool might be an easier character to learn, though. I personally intend to main K. Rool, so I may be biased After seeing the first gameplay of him I immediately knew I found at least a secondary character. He's a heavier version of everything I wanted out of Yoshi (My Smash 4 main). Solid combo game, multitudes of options, and plenty of kill potential. Also not top tier (although I nonetheless intend to abuse Young Link from time to time).
