Kirby

[extremechiton]

probably not. in the direct sakukrai said that macs n special is the strait lunge and that appears to not be affected by the power meter.

but it would be totally awesome for Kirby to get a one shot OHKO move like Kirby's ivysaur copy ability in project m.

 

[ryuu seika]

N-special is the straight lunge but it changes when the power meter reaches full. Sadly, I doubt Kirby will copy the power meter since, while it only affects the neutral special, it is considered a part of the character, not the move.
The Knockout Punch is still technically his neutral special aswell though so who knows?

Swallow a fully charged Mac, get a fully charged B-button?

Probably not, but it would be dope.

 

[NintenRob]

Kirby is awesome.


Who agrees?

I wasn't being trying rude, I was being cheerful in the spirit of Kirby. letting out my inner child.

Forget about the attack; Kirby with Mac's hairstyle is the selling point.

I understand. In the future though, remember people may not appreciate:
"[Fairly Unanimous Positive Opinion]. Like if you agree!"

That being said, Kirby is awesome.

I want everyone to visit the smashfest at your nearest best buy hosting it. I want to see how comfortable it is to play, I want to see the character's advantage/disadvantage, against or with other characters, moves or special attacks.

I know the fest is mostly based with items, me thinks, but don't let it stop you. I'm pretty much ready for this. Anyone else?

I as well.
Can't wait to see Greninja
The Kirby in your sig works really well with the one in the background.

where are his copys in wii u

 

[Z1GMA]

Kirby's Nair after at least one double jump (inflated) should be the Air Puff from his games.

 

[2Mixer]

I dont like the new hammer anyways..

 

[Vinylic.]

Might as well find a way to deal with it, duderino. You don't see me complaining about the OP AI in Kirby Fighters.

At least the game offers a challenge somewhere, amiright?

 

[Vinylic.]

The challenge lies within the last bits.

Dealing with bomb kirby is like dealing with ally and his camping.

 

[SadisticPanda]

More colours for Kirby! It would be much easier to make compared to all the other characters.

 

[2Mixer]

I miss the old green from Melee..

 

[Kirbykachu]

I think it would be awesome if Kirby's copy ability received a bit of an upgrade. It's dissapointing that such a significant aspect of his character is so dramatically underwhelming. What I think they could do is add some other characteristics to him when he inhales someone. For example his speed will slightly increase if he inhales Sonic, his weight will increase if he inhales Bowser, his initial jump will increase if he inhales Luigi, his air jumps will be the same as Jigglypuff's if he inhales Jigglypuff. I think this will potentially add a much deeper play style for Kirby and may actually become used in competitive play.

That's not how Kirby works though. With the notable exceptions of UFO (which Sakurai made) and Metal (which Sakurai didn't make), copy abilities don't effect movement, health or anything like that. They just give him abilities. Logically, I think the solution is to give him more powers from the character he copied, but adapted to him.

 

[extremechiton]

how bout swallowing someone gives them the standard neutral special like always, but the other specials are altered slightly.

like if kirby swallows mario, he will get the fire ball as an n-special, but his up special will have a coin effect, his down special could make a small splash, his side special could turn people around

and kirby ---> samus, n special stays the same, up b, kirby adds screw attack to the up portion of his final cutter, side b, hammer explodes on impact, down b, rock explodes on impact

kirby---> yoshi, n-special " " ", up b launches an egg, down b, has little stars that pop out when he hits the ground, side b, hammer turns into an egg and explodes on impact,

kirby---> lil mac: yadaydyayd.... up b, kirby spins in the z axis while going up, side b, kirby launches forward while swinging hammer, down b, if someone hits the rock, rock shatters causing fragmentation damage.

kirby---> fox: n special..... up b: kirby is set on fire, side b, hammer has invincibility frames, down b, rock has reflector status

kirby---> zss, up b is not much different, side b, adds a plasma whip explosion effect to hammer, down b, rock flips forward,

kirby ---> bowser, up b, kirby spins in z-axis, side b, hammer grabs opponent and slams them into the ground, down b, not much different

kirby---> villager, up b, adds balloons that makes kirby reach higher, side b, explodes on impact, down b, plants a tree

kirby--->lucario, up b, adds a small aura around kirby, side b, hammer adds forcepalm effect, down b, another rock appears out of no where and flies from the opposite side of atacker

*by now im getting ridiculous and this will never happen, but i hope you get the idea,*

 

[2Mixer]

This would be a little too op..
I think swallow and then getr new special, its alright i had no problem with it overall

 

[Vinylic.]

Leave it to sakurai, folks.

When Kirby copies an enemy he takes all of their special abilities and it's obvious that certain characters have special abilities, such as Sonic's speed, that would make perfect sense for Kirby to copy. I doubt it will happen I just think it would make the inhale a much more tactical move seen more in competitive play.

There is a difference between a passive ability and an active ability. Kirby (almost) only does the latter.

Exactly he rarely does the latter, which is why it would only work on notable characteristics, such as Sonic's speed which is something Sonic is much more well-known for than his homing attack.

 

[extremechiton]

*imagining kirby with speed*
instant top tier!

I think top tier would be a little too high since it's very situational. I mean for starters you'd actually have to be playing against Sonic AND successfully inhale him.

Ok, I'm done. You have defeated me. I don't think there is any more I can say on the matter.

 

[extremechiton]

in what cases does he do the former?

Sorry to put the nail in the coffin but I just remembered the metal ability which affects both Kirby's weight and speed xD

Shoulda thought of that one earlier!

Oh sorry haha I didn't read that bit! Don't blame me it's nearly 3am in England xD damn tiredness

Now that I have the time and it's not 3:00 in the morning I've finally compiled a list of characters who I feel have traits that Kirby should copy as a sort of bonus ability.
- First up is Sonic - along with the homing attack I feel Kirby should receive a slight increase in speed, not necessarily to the point of moving as fast as Sonic, but still moving faster maybe even gaining the figure 8 pattern Sonic's legs are renowned for.
- Secondly is Bowser - Anyone who's played a Mario Kart game probably knows that Bowser is ALWAYS the heaviest character in the game and this trait holds true to Smash Bros. where he is also always significantly heavier than every other character. What I propose is, like Sonic, Kirby receives a small weight increase, not to the point of being as heavy as Bowser, but still an increase none-the-less.
- Jigglypuff - Jigglypuff is a funny one, originally I thought that Kirby's jumps should be beefed up to the same quality as Jigglypuff's, but after some consideration I feel as though the trait Jigglypuff is most well known for is it's ability to put people to sleep via singing. So what if a Kirby who copied Jigglypuff has his b-move replaced with Jiggly's up-b move.
- Luigi - when I think of Luigi, I think of a superior jump to Mario, so when Kirby has the 'Luigi ability' I feel his initial jump should be improved. None of his mid-air jumps, just his initial one. A second trait he could have, though Luigi is not AS renowned for, is his traction. Maybe Kirby's traction will be decreased as well.
These are the only characters that I can think of who don't have their greatest traits copied when inhaled by Kirby. It may not add a deeper game play aspect since it is dependent on who you're playing against and at the very least may improve some of Kirby's match-ups against these characters, but it will give the inhale move a lot more personality. If you think a character hasn't been properly represented then be sure to add to it. =D

I took the Triple Deluxe "What's Your Kirby Copy Ability Quiz" and got this as my result:

In other news, I just beat 3 Level 9 Gokus in a 1v3 Match as Kirby (in SSF2), without taking any sort of damage. Gotta love it when stuff like that happens.
