Talk:King Dedede Vs Tails/@comment-33155272-20181205134611/@comment-38355399-20190206225453

Tails -

+= Speed (Though Dedede is surprisingly only a little bit behind) +Intelligence (+)Versatility (If his planes are allowed, also he can come up with a whole lot of things)

Dedede -

+Strength +Durability +Experience +Air Technique (?) +Effectiveness of attacks (+)Versatility (If Tails’ inventions were not allowed, like his planes and other high-tech gadgets)

This is much closer than I would normally perceive - Tails would probably take the battle if it was down to smarts and versatility. His speed would also help too, but Dedede isn’t that far off (Kept up with the warp star, which moves at light speeds)

If it comes down to hand-to-hand combat - Tails would have to rely on aerial attacks for advantages, but D3’s much better at his job - highest endurance in smash bros, and is no slouch when it comes to strength. But I’m pretty sure the penguin would win by experience, as he has gotten significantly stronger by facing Kirby over and over (Although he failed many times, he can beat Shadow Dedede, a dark clone of himself, and Dark Meta Knight, who beat meta knight).

So my conclusion is that Dedede wins, but it would be a very close battle.
