Palutena vs King Dedede

To effectively play Palutena against King Dedede, leverage her superior speed and frame data to maintain distance and control the pace of the match. Use moves like Nair and Bair to zone Dedede out, while your fast ground speed allows you to dash away from his slower attacks. Focus on camping with projectiles like Explosive Flame and use your teleport to reposition quickly if he tries to approach. Stage positioning is crucial; keep Dedede near the edge to punish his recovery with Palutena's strong aerials, ensuring you can maintain an advantage throughout the matchup.
