So I'm the one who did almost all of the combos in the trailer.

lol, agreed. I'm not sure how I feel about a couple move changes (dash attack and neutral air -- I am partial to brawl dash attack and sex kick from 64) but overall I really like how he was presented. Looking forward to the 9th

How far does the horizontal Final Cutter go, and is it really laggy if you miss or get blocked?

It didn't look like it from the trailer, but did he by chance get his old 64 dair spike back? That would single-handedly make me want to main him. (Along with sexy side cutter)

Yo Strong Bad, is Kirby going to get some of the new neutral b's like Solar Beam or Lucas' charge? Or is it going to be like I heard where he might just get the same powers from Brawl?

I am probably wrong, but...is Kirby's dash faster now? From 00:50 to 00:52 in the trailer, it seems as though he covers a good amount of ground in the training stage. Though it could just be the lines messing with my perception. His dashing animation also looks like it might be sped up slightly, as well.

Edit: Also, take note that Kirby is the only character introduced in the video that is not immediately comboing another character, and Kirby's introduction is simultaneous with the introduction of the training stage. This could just be a coincidence or just for visual effect, but it could also be a way for them to point out that his dash speed is faster. Though since I'm not really a Kirby main, I can't really say for sure. I'll leave that for someone else to decide/debunk.

Only picked up Kirby in the good ole' 64 days, I'm glad to finally find a reason to pick up Kirby again.

Kirby looks like he had a running speed increase is this true or is it just me?

So having played a lot of Melee, and having a friend who mained Kirby for a little while, Kirby's run speed was definitely increased in PM from what is seen in the video. That is, I believe, the reason they just showed Kirby running at first.

i kinda answered my own question from above about wavelanding out of the horizontal final cutter when i looked at the vid frame by frame. it seems as if he can waveland. It looks as if he did it straight after he hit fox with it. im just wondering what other things will help with combos. I see that the fire launches opponent upwards and it has hardly any endlag soooo maybe that is another key to kirby's little combo game.

Looks like I am not the only one who has noticed this, lol

Ah, very nice.

Looks like Kirby's approaching opportunities/options have increased a little. I might be interested in trying him out this time.

Is it bad that I think that this show is decent compared to other video game related TV shows?

Really liking all the changes I've seen. Also really hyped to see Utilt -> Bair is still a combo. I'm looking forward to maining Kirby in this game too.

This also means I don't need to keep playing pink MK with a tag saying "KIRBY", which is awesome.

Kirby has his PAL running speed, which is around ~7% faster than his NTSC running speed.

Oh, he has his PAL speed? No wonder I didn't notice the change, I've spent a bunch of time with each Kirby.

It's neither. Significantly higher than Melee's. I don't really have a frame of reference for Brawl's so I'm afraid I can't really help you in relation to that.

Is Kirby's "HIIIIIIIII" taunt more high pitched like it was in Melee, or is it the same as in Brawl?

I'll take that as a yes, if its faster than Melee's, its probably faster than Brawl's. Kirby was practically a beach ball, his game was 'float forever in that one blind spot' if you get what I'm saying. Awesome!

Dash attack doesn't go through shields! ._. It looks pretty unsafe.

TheDash attack looked so bad - seemed like it was put in as a for melee type of thing. Would much prefer the brawl one.

but it looks like it has multiple hits, that'd make it better on shield
The problem is you sit where they can shield grab without any chance of missing
