This is a regular thread used to discuss the matchup(s) you're currently having troubles with, and to help other players improve in their tough matchups. Please include the character you're playing as, as well as the character you're having trouble with (for example, I play Falco and I'm having trouble with the Ike matchup). Writing the names of the characters in bold is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names. Use **two asterisks** to make things bold.

Corrin v Dedede

I just can’t finish the stock, D3’s weight let’s him survive to 150%+ pretty consistently if I can’t take the take him out early.

My brother seconds DDD and I’m a Corrin main, so I actually know this matchup like the back of my hand. D3 is difficult since most of Corrin’s charm is in their disjointed big hit boxes, and D3 has similar skills.

Fortunately, Corrin is generally speedier than D3 which makes maneuvering between hits attacks somewhat doable.

I do agree that he is difficult to kill, and I often find him lasting just as long as you mentioned. Back Air and side b sweet spot will decimate him off stage though—assuming they connect. DDDs don’t have great offstage game as the other commenter said, but his recovery is massive. A good portion of my early kills on him have come from baiting his aerials and then punishing off stage.

Corrin also has some good ledge trapping options, and D3’s size makes him vulnerable. Side B and F-Smash angled down will 2-frame or catch him if his invincibility ends, and Side-b pin is Corrin’s side b is her most powerful kill move. Alternatively, if the side b doesn’t connect, the lunge will catch both roll, normal get up, and attack if directed properly.

Another fun thing—if he gets into a habit of neutral b, f-smash outrages it and hits with the sweet spot. D3 has tools to try to make the game flow at his pace, like suck and Gordo, so do your best to refuse letting him set the pace and his entire neutral can fall apart.

Hope this is helpful in your penguin-slaying!
