It's meant to be a big powerhouse character, if he's going to be made viable it shouldn't change that. Overall I think the set misses the point a little bit on Dedede's set.
As an example personally I would've just buffed his fsmash, maybe buffing its safety if not the move outright (or both, it'd be justified). It'd work best if these moves didn't have these overly fluffy animations where I just want Dedede to slam his hammer in that glorious fsmash and not twirl it in a non satisfying manner. At the same time they do make Dedede viable and would appeal to an advanced player who's looking for depth. Many of the new more technical aspects added to moves like the up special, smashes, aerials and standards kind of fly in the face of Dedede's simplistic playstyle. I like most of the changes, but the new fair/bair mechanics seem a little complicated, and I'm not sure I like the new smashes that seem a bit too technical for a character like Dedede. The changes to moves are a bit mixed at times too. The new hammer moves replacing older ones were a tiny bit random where they popped up but were all good moves. The set as is in Smash 4 just seems a bit more consistent and where the set strays into that wacky area, I feel it was at its weakest. Some moves like the new nair where he inflates as an attack and many of the throws are surprisingly wacky. The set has some changes I don't much like though, for example the decision to turn into Buff Dedede in the throws is very odd as a throws-only gimmick. The Waddle Dee special was a very nice change too, giving Dedede some control over their AI and all the interactions were very logical involving Dee. Dedede has a huge amount of pressure now that he can charge his Jet Hammer to buff himself passively and certain moves changing to help him be less predictable. This set's intention is to make the character viable, and I think it does succeed in that regard. King Dedede is certainly a set that piques my interest as one of those poor souls you mention that mains the character.
