Would you mind sending me an invite? I'd like to join~

I just wish he had could take advantage of this shield stuff! I can only hope we'll find stuff somewhere down the line. Also, why is RAR Up Air a bad option now? Somebody mentioned it earlier but I'm not following. It's unchanged, if it was good before then it's good now, right?

Yeah, Kirby completely lacks blockstrings and a lot of his moves are still easy to punish on block. Any fast aerial or any good grab can do the trick. Down Air is still completely unsafe but we should have known that. =P I guess our big question for this thread now is either finding...

I think we're overreacting a little bit, he's far from the worst character, but the shield stun change definitely hurt him bad. Hopefully he gets some helpful buffs next time around, I guess...

Yeah, I think we should test which moves are now safe on shield, so to speak. I've seen a lot of very silly setups because of this (Lucario D_D) and would like to know if Kirby can do anything. Of course, I'll test it myself and come back with results later. I doubt Down Air is safe on shield...

His Nair seems faster to me, but since I don't have a 1.1.0 to test on, assume it's placebo. Otherwise I've got nothing.

You're right, it should only be x2. I guess I'm so used to saying x3 that I got it wrong. =P As far as the timing goes, it's normal, but since Grounding Stone does have startup to it - not a lot, but enough - it does make it a little strict. Also if they're too far from the ground it doesn't...

Grounding Stone definitely locks. Which is why Up Tilt -> Footstool -> Grounding Stone -> Down Tilt x3 -> Whatever is so silly. Fun combo on Diddy Kong, it probably works on other fast fallers but I practice it most against Diddy: Up Tilt x2 -> Footstool -> Grounding Stone -> Down Tilt x3 ->...

The struggle. It's always so bad when they're at KO % and I flub a Forward Smash punish. ;__; Is Perfect Pivot Down Smash a good ledge trump punish? Or at least, a good punish if your opponent grabs the ledge without invincibility? Doing an Up Tilt out of crouch is easily my favorite benefit of...

I'm pretty sure we all agree that it comes down to personal preference, but a lot of Kirby's like to use C Stick for tilts. I'm one of them, although you lose out on some nifty things by not having it as Smash Attack. You gain a lot having it for tilts, though.

Yeah, the above point is kind of what I was trying to say. I wish they were to start balancing Customs so I could use Wave again. ;__; Final Cutter buffs would be nice, I agree, and I would love Brawl range back, but I also want Wave Cutter back ;__;.

Yeah, all the tournaments in my area have Customs banned now so no more Wave Cutter for me. Oh well... So in Reserved's giant post which he made on his phone (SUCH LOYALTY MOST OF US DON'T DESERVE <3) he mentioned a pretty neat thing on Battlefield - namely, if you're under one of the two lower...

I agree with the the whole range thing, but that's kind of what Wave Cutter wound up being for. It has Brawl range on the projectile and forces opponents to do a lot offstage, but ultimately Upper Cutter became preferred for its recovery and ridiculous combo/OoS options. I still think Wave...

I don't know if Kirby can do this, but Pac Man can cancel into any of his other specials when using the fruit. Not sure what this would really do with Kirby (Final Cutter Spike towards the ledge? One can dream I guess), but I know a lot of Pac Man's only air dodge, so you do have other options...

Homing Attack is also safe on shield, for some stupid reason, so if you're not predictable with it (it's super unsafe if they sidestep it) you can get something out of it that way. Sorry if it's been mentioned, I didn't read through everything, but Eruption is great. Namely, it's immensely...
