Talk:King Dedede vs Wario/@comment-38355399-20190410231117

Who knew these two would get pitted?

Here's my thoughts:

Speed: Wario I believe takes this. His best feat of catching up with the Shake King (who ran around the world in a few seconds) probably beats Dedede's. The penguin could catch up with the warp star, but the thing is, the warp star was actually cruising, and not going at full speed. However, even though Wario's probably faster, Dedede is still pretty fast, and he's not far behind off from Wario's feats.

Versatility: Wario, again I believe takes this. His many forms (which includes the Pots and forms/"reactions") from the Wario Land games should give him a slight edge. In Kirby Star Allies, Dedede could combine his abilities with Kirby's. His masked form should also bring great difficulty. However, because Wario utilizes his abilities a lot more often, and appears to have more of them, I'd be giving this to the yellow plumber.

Durability: I'm giving this to Dedede. Able to handle Magolor, Galacta Knight (True Arena only), Dark Meta Knight (Dededetour only), Void Termina, who can all destroy worlds, should easily take out Wario's feats of surviving an explosion of 100 bomb-ombs in a stadium, as well as the Shake King's destructive capapbilities.

Strength: I'll give this to Dedede again. As he's able to harm Kirby with his hammer and attacks (utilizing his body via dash attacks), to which Kirby can destroy planets. Wario, while able to lift gigantic dinosaurs, probably doesn't have enough strength to harm Kirby with his weight.

Experience/Intelligence: Because Wario has a reputation for being the leader of a microgame company, and that he can manage it efficently (without the business falling apart), and the fact he has attempted more elaborate plans (and succeeded in quite a few of them), gives him the advantage here. While Dedede has been around for longer, and has masterminded a few plans, they usually end up failing. D3's goals usually revolve around theft/trying to prove himself better than Kirby. Wario, in my consideration, has bigger plans, so it should go to him.

Final forms: I think Dedede completely stomps here. As he can transform into masked/giant (latter assuming two sparkling stars fall on him) without the form running out gives him a big edge. Wario-Man's transformation runs out, and while he still trumps Dedede speed-wise, he pales in comparison to strength and versatility. Wario-Man's best chance would to go on the defensive, but Dedede wouldn't have much trouble cornering Wario (especially when the penguin's giant). Basically, Dedede outclasses Wario here in nearly every category except intelligence and speed.

Overall, I believe Dedede slightly trumps base forms, primarily due to his strength and durability making him difficult to KO. Final forms, he completely stomps because he doesn't have a time limit, and he outclasses Wario in nearly every form (minus speed/smarts).
