I am lost... I don't know how to fight Kirby. I understand his setups, but I don't know how to avoid them... maybe you guys will share with me on Kirby's weaknesses or how to fight him since, again, I don't know how to :p.

Kirby's weaknesses are his approach options, weight, and range. You can't really use weight to your advantage except for killing, so lets take that away.

Range and approach options are his weaknesses. This means getting in for Kirby is hard. If you force him to approach, he'll have a harder time getting in. Be safe, use projectiles.

Force Kirby to come at you and make mistakes since most come in with aerials that you can grab out of shield. He's easy to punish with approaches but weak against zoning tactics.

Best case scenario, you lure out a dash attack/grab or a jump.

So what you recommend is to be patient, use items like mario/dr marios regular special, wait out mistakes (like being patient) and go in for the shield grab. All right! Gonna remember those next time I fight Kirby! Thanks you guys!
