Kirby decent matchup vs Falco?

So, I feel that Kirby has an okay matchup against Falco compared to other top tiers. This is because Kirby can copy Falco and get to short hop double laser to seriously improve his approaches. Kirby also can gimp Falco fairly easily and juggle with up-tilt for some easy early damage. Thoughts?

falco can shoot lasers, and kirby can duck. great, now you can get hit by dair and get pillar combo'd and maybe die because of it. even if you don't die, you have to get out of the awful position you're in after you take 60% or so. suppose you get a hit... kirby isn't getting much more than 50%, which is being generous. the only reliable finishers kirby has are up tilt into uair / bair or a stray bair. yeah you can gimp falco but you have to hit falco too. this goes double for getting lasers, which are godlike and amazingly fun to use.

reminder that falco still has falco neutral so it's awful

It's decent in that its easier than Fox/Puff/Peach.

I still think its a ridiculously hard match up.
