Smash Journeyman
I know I'm not a superb smasher, and my Kirby is far from great. But I hope you don't mind the comments I'll make. Correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.
First off, I liked the guide. There were two three things list, I hadn't thought of myself. That should improve my style.
Some of my thoughts on some attacks:
Nair: I'm still working on it, but if you pull it off shortly enough before you touch the ground, it seems to have some potential, as it never seems to lag (I think the guide mentioned that ) I'm still working on it. I think the timing is a bit different than a shuffle. But I don't know how good this can be .
I think the dash A is hard to shield grab (since you usually run through their shield, unlike other dashes)... it doesn't make the attack good in any sense (I somehow never use it), but maybe it's good to know.
As to the fear of being meteored (this doesn't go for spikes). I'm quite bad at meteor canceling (I hardly ever manage to time right with B ups), but I cancel meteors with ease with Kirby. Even Ganondorf's meteor doesn't work that well on my Kirby with 150% (I almost stay on Ganondorf's heigt)... and I doubt that's because I'm good (because I'm not). After that you can punish the oppent for trying to meteor you (since they're usually still in lag).
I don't know about Kirby's grabs. I actually love his graps (the up and down ones), but playing against CPUs I made some unfriendly discoveries. Quite a few characters can hit and arial on you after a d-grab, before you've recovered from grab lag. Some stand on the ground and can try an attack (but that can be shielded against)... If CPUs can reacter in such a manner... good players can too. That's why I often use the u-grab (maybe I shouldn't), since you can use most arials if the opponent isn't knockback to much (and doesn't kill you with arial quickness as a Luigi). Just thought I'd comment that.
Why doesn't anyone suck on the edge, fall a while and and copy their ability instead of spitting them out?... It's safer than suicide canceling... and kills charaters with bad recovery... and you've copied an ability .
Well, those were some thoughts for the moment... Need to go on.
