<Fly edit> There were a ton of character submission threads, so I merged them all into one general purpose character idea submission thread. Enjoy.</Fly edit>
I didn't see any of these threads from Smods ported over to SWF, so I thought I might as well get at least one over here so that our newer ideas wouldn't be lost. It's probably better for such opinions to be placed here than on other general sub-forums, like the Social Thread, anyway.

My recent thoughts on Kirby:
Bubbaking said:I know Smods is gonna be closed pretty soon, so before it is, I wanna throw out this idea real quick. The consensus seems to be that Kirby's Melee nair really sucks because it's a weak single-hit move with a small hitbox. However, I really think that just transforming it into a sex kick takes away from Kirby's uniqueness and individuality. In addition, a sex kick encourages 'sloppy play' as it can be thrown out imprecisely in place of other aerials and still achieve good results.
A sex kick nair can be used when one doesn't want to worry about what aerials to use in a certain situation, and it lasts long enough to cover a large amount of air space with one use. Not only that, a sex kick would be redundant with both fair (hopefully improved for P:M) and bair. RAR bair and DJ turnaround bair can all cover the same areas that a sex kick nair could (with considerably more power) and a good fair would probably be better for comboing. However, a sex kick nair would just take away from the decision-making process of using the best move because one could just use nair instead of either of these moves in most situations and still attain the results desired.
I propose that Kirby retain his Melee nair animation and it be given properties similar to either Wolf's nair or Ivy's nair.
A nair similar to Wolf's would be a great combo starter that would also break CC (something that a sex kick nair won't do). It could combo into things like grab or his tilts. A nair similar to Ivy's would also break CC and it could be a great combo starter at low to mid %'s and a good combo finisher at high %'s. I think both of these ideas should at least be tested out before a sex kick nair is automatically reverted to.
