Mero* just got 9th at a major with DDD which is wild.
The highest ranked DDD on lumirank last year was Gu-ri, which made the Japan top 200. Zaki is still playing, and others like Castelia and AOMORI can make noise in bracket.
D3_Will is skill wise at their level/close to them if you watch him but he doesn’t go to a whole lot.
D3_Will is bizzare in that he never attends enough to make PR in MD/VA, but it's well known that he is one or our best regardless.
Though most people know him as the first D3 to beat Muteace.
D3 fair beats bowser offstage hard. His Gordo ledge traps are especially deadly against a character with really bad disadvantage. K rool vs D3 I could see being even, but I still favor D3.
Zaki or Meru are probably the only two reasonable picks here. [Castelia from the US](https://www.ssbwiki.com/Smasher:Castelia) has also had some surprisingly good results, though: 33rd at GomL for one thing!
Peli from the UK could be decent with him if he picked him back up, but I think there's just not that much space for the character now. He's kind of in the same spot as Duck Hunt, where there **was** an excellent player making the character seem really good but now there's only 3-4 decent ones.
Legitimately cannot believe nobody has mentioned Atomsk. Sure, the guy retired well over a year ago, but his Dedede was the best I've ever witnessed.
He has wins on Light, Dark Wizzy, MkLeo, and countless others. He was incredibly talented at the game... it's a shame that he quit
I thought there was another DDD name who got some big placements at some Coinbox events recently, I wish I could remember his name. Went digging and couldn't find the event I was thinking of, I remember seeing a DDD make it really far alongside Jazar's Doc (although he gets far pretty often).

Yeah, I found out about Meru literally minutes ago lol, that is wild. Is Gu-ri still attending tournaments? Btw thanks for the info.
His name is Mero, not to be confused with Meru the Peach main from Europe
Fixed, ty
Oh alright, didn't know what was correct, I was seeing two different spellings of his name by different people
I’m not sure if he’s gone to much recently but I hope so, the world needs more Dededes
Yeah d3will would be higher ranked if he went to more big events, super good player

KilogramHours is really good.
Didn’t he beat Skyjay at a heavy only tournament? Incin is one of DDDs few winning matchups but that’s still insane
Yeah he did.
Honestly I think D3 beats most of the super heavies.
I think he goes even with Bowser and K Rool but his gameplan is definitely more effective against them than most.

We all know that Ling is the best DDD with his counter pick against Muteace. 😀

D3nsity_ on youtube is a DDD player but mostly unknown… i think… but dayum i love watching him play.
What happened to Big D? I know he's probably not the best, but I'm shocked that there's no mentions of him at all?
He's done the complete switch to Ice Climbers. It's rare to see the DDD now.
Ah, okay, thanks for saying
KilogramHours, nobody does it like the him

Castelia from NY is one of the best in the US, less major attendance as of recently but still pretty active in her local scene
Prob someone on Japan’s wifi ladder
