Welcome, King Dedede!

[Masahiro Sakurai]

King Dedede noooooooooooo You were so close to winning that duel, you even had all of the items you needed, if only you'd just used them slightly differently. While it sucks to not have you around fighting it out in the last week, such a thrilling ending is befitting of the strong game you played. You always kept a level head and brought good humour to every moment where things looked intense, and you positioned yourself really well to go this deep without duelling. It took a lot of adverse duel outcomes for you to be out here. I hope you enjoyed the game, I hope you can offer some perspectives on the rest of the game in here, and most importantly, I hope your lawyers go easy on me!

We really fucked up the last couple of rounds, eh? No bullshit.

[Pyra & Mythra]

Pyra: I choose to believe that none of you wanted to live in a world without me in it.

[Master Hand]

Wow, this was definitely a momentous outcome to end such a momentous week of play in the game. Dedede, you were excellent to watch in this and for sure had every chance of taking it out had just a few things gone in different ways, this was a game very well played. We could always rely on you to give observations that were both thoughtful and hilarious, being confronted with so much shenanigans along the way yet never losing focus for an instant. Loved having you in this, and I trust you'll be just as strong as a juror in here.

Dedede, you are an inspiration. I hope I'm like you when I grow up.

We were right Dedede. Our badges are the best human and non-human badges of the lot, without question.

Don't know if you want to hear this or not, but you were as close to winning our duel as is possible. I submitted 8 items, and then the 9th separately for 110. And won by 100. So you were winning with seconds on the clock. A;sp. I read Pips as pipes, so any number of things could've changed that result.

But besides that, you were good people to play with. Wish we could've gone on longer. Oh, and our tandem slamming of Wario while we were the ones about to duel will hold a special place in my demonic heart for years to come, hahahaha!

[King Dedede]

I don't want to hear anything ever again about that challenge. It's already taught me that my whole childhood of playing games and having fun with magnets was a lie.

And yes I imagine it was good to play with me.
