If Kirby Had Been Made Differently...

I was thinking lately, what if they'd made Kirby differently in Smash? What if instead of taking moves from copy abilities like Cutter, Hammer, and Rock for his non-neutral specials, they worked the same way as his neutral? That's to say, Kirby uses Inhale no matter which special you do, initially, but he copies the move that corresponds. So while neutral Inhaling Link will give you the Bow as your neutral B, Inhaling him via Down B would allow Kirby to use Link's Bombs with Down B. Now, naturally, there are reasons this wasn't done, but just for kicks, if this were the case, what would you like to make as your ultimate combination, assuming you can draw from up to four different other characters for them (this wouldn't be possible in an actual battle, with only three potential opponents, but we're already assuming enough, let's go all out). I think I'd have to go like this:

Neutral B: Falcon Punch (for purposes of epic-ness, I had to use this, although I almost went with R.O.B.'s lazah, because it's very useful, and Kirby's "Beep!" is highly intoxicating)
Up B: Wings of Icarus (awesome, awesome recovery)
Side B: Din's Fire (heck freaking yes! Samus's missiles were a close second choice)
Down B: Counter (because counters are just too useful)

So... What would you choose?


PS: If there's somewhere else this thread should be, move it. Or if I'm the only one who finds this a neat idea to consider, I suppose you're free to dispose of the thread. Whatever. I thought it seemed cool...

Intresting idea but it should be in the kirby forum just sayin
I was torn between here and there... Since in a way, this is a "If you could make a character with a combination of anyone's Specials" subject, but at the same time, Kirby fits the idea best. My bad...

By the way, guys, I know it wouldn't ever happen. I know there are obvious reasons it wouldn't work, it's more of a "what if" question. Just for kicks, like I said before.

Thats just basically saying "What if kirby lost his individuality and copied the other persons special moves?"
And what are you supposed to do when you cant inhale the guy?
No recovery? (well besides the jumps)

Honestly, it would just make him more like he is in the Kirby games.

In any case, I wasn't saying it would be a good idea to actually implement...

Oh, well, whatever. At least some people actually enjoyed the idea.

:dizzy:

Normal B: Donkey punch!
Up B: Screw attack (since you can already fly, what's the point in having a ridiculously good up+b for recovery? attack!)
Down B: Counter
Side B: Din's fire

Under the ground.
I really wish some1 would just convince the developers to make Copy so it takes their entire B moveset. Then their'd be a reason to Inhale and Copy.

On topic:
B-Dedede Inhale
B↑-R.O.B. Recovery
B→-Waddle Dee Toss
B↓-Dimensional Cape (lol)

B: Mach Tornado
B>: Wario Bike/Green Missile
B^: Robo Burner
Bv: Flip Jump

For Ultimate Recovery

B: Water Gun
B>: Headbutt (it seems like the most useless move in this context)
B^: Sing
Bv: Fludd

For the lulz

A better idea similar to this is to keep his b moves as they are if he didn't copy, but then after the copy he gains all the b moves of the character. For example if he copied Fox he'll have the firefox, reflector, laser, and illusion..

There's no way that makes Kirby broken. He can inhale his opponent, so basically you'd be playing dittos in every 1v1.

B: Falco's Laser (SH lasers that can hit anyone FTW)
Side-B: Cape (The ultimate in gimping)
Up-B: Robo-Burner (You could recover from anywhere. Period)
Down-B: Fox's reflector

OR

B: Falco's Laser
Side-B: Lucas' PK Fire
Up-B: Ness' PK Thunder
Down-B: Fox's Reflector

Yay for camping!

And x9whitey9x, what this does is it would take away most characters' camping abilities. All they have left is to get up close with Kirby.
And Kirby's pretty good up close.

Neutral B - Pit's Palutena Arrows
Up B - Pikachu's Quick Attack
Side B - Mario's Cape
Down B - Diddy's Bananas

Like many before, I thought it would be awesome if Kirby could take all of his opponents specials with his Inhale-Copy. It definitely would make things more interesting...

I just thought about it.. what would Kirby look like after all this. .__.
Um... Well, with the right combination, he could have Snake's facial hair, with Mario's hat, Fox's ears sticking out of the top, and Zamus's ponytail out of the back.

Needless to say, it would be a mess.

That would look really ghetto.

Also, in 1 vs. 1 matches, that wouldn't be a grand moveset, imo.
