@ChuckeeCheese: Yeah, it's
totally Kirby's fault that makes the match-up lame.
Kawaii, I've found that there's like so much strategy involved with an IC match-up than what goes on on the playing field! It's quite interesting. As long as the starter stage isn't flat, Kirby Vs IC
is doable. If you win game 1 and go for the ditto game 2, your ICs can get character counter-pick and you'll have to deal with it because winner chooses character first then loser. But that's ok, because game 3 your opponent chooses his/her character first and if he chooses IC then you can do the ditto.
If you lose game 1 vs IC's with Kirby, then you can definetly go for the ditto because your opponent (the winner) is character locked. But
some people *cough* will switch character once they see you want to ditto them. Which is fine, since you (the loser) have the final say against who you want to play as vs your opponent.. Game 3 is where it's very tricky now since you will be character locked. It's best to pick a stage where Kirby vs IC's is manageable to prepare for your opponent's obvious character choice.
I shall check out fa//n's write up and gather some more info from my Kirby brethren.
Also, congrats on you and Chu getting power ranked Kawaii!
