Wario, because it gives Kirby a non-laggy aerial grab.

Fastman, I now dub thee a heretic (I have that power. I have been named a prophet (Or messiah... I forget...)). EAT! EAT THEM ALL!

I love the long range ownage, and Toad is just too funny not to copy :)
Paralyzer is actually really good for kirby.

I read the rest of the thread and I definitly have to try inhaling snake more often. Nade tricks sound really fun

(I use Kirby for random fun matches almost solely because of copy and bair :) )

Very true, long range ownage rules. Snakes power is alright but MK's tornado is awesome.

Hmm..

Since Kirby lacks a real projectile, its never a bad idea to grab one if you can. Any projectile works for him, except Olimar, and IC, IMO.

My favorites-
Captain Falcon
Samus
Lucario
Gannon
Marth
DK
MK

Aura Sphere is deadly in the hands of Kirby, especially one who knows how to use Lucario... i know this since i second kirby.

Samus' charge shot is another big one. and i also find pikachu's thunder jolt to be very effective in kirby's hands

Snake's Grenades or MK's whorenado. Kirby's tornado breaks MK's Tornado and Kirby can use grenades in the air.

I am actually finding the peanut gun better and better. It's good mainly to frustrate your opponent as well as to mindgame them (since you can cancel the peanut gun) and not half bad to create a 'rain of peanuts' when recovering from up high.

Meh, maybe I'm just strange.

Wolf's lasers. Kirby's Wolf Laser does more stun then Wolf's lasers themselves.

hey i have picked Kirby as my second, and when i picked i went into training mode to test out Kirby + all the character abilities. this is what i got.
---------------------------
abilities worth copying for Kirby:

Samus/ Lucario
Donkey Kong
Pit
Falco
Wolf
Ganondorf/ Captain Falcon
---------------------------

i just like to have more than one reliable KO move :) ...........
i don't know maybe its just that i'm still learning Kirby, so i have a harder time getting kills like i do with Ike (yay Ftilt, Fsmash, Utilt, Usmash, and all aerials except Nair and Fair).

anyway Gannondorf and Falcon's punches are nice and cute and DEADLY but kinda slow. Wolf, Falco lasers and Pit's arrows for building damage and stopping recoveries, they call it 'gimping' i think. Donkey Kong, Samus and Lucario's special being the best of them all, when fully charges they unload a ton of damage and they KILL nicely. Donkey Kong's SA is a plus.

anyway has anyone tested Lucario's aura beam? does it work the same way as Lucario's getting stronger at higher percents?

I could be wrong, but I remember reading somewhere that Kirbys Aura Spheres do damage based on Lucario being at 80%, no matter what % you steal his power at.

I can't believe no one mentioned that if you have Pit's Arrows, you can snipe him out of his UpB, making it very easy to gimp him once you become a sharp shooter. Pit Dittos are all about the sniping contest, but since Kirby doesn't have that recovery handicap, I would think this actually tips the match-up in his favor. I was under the impression that Kirby actually had O.K. aerial mobility, and was fast enough to actually fight Pit. Being able to snipe his recovery, and snipe him if he tries to edgeguard, while camping him back since Kirby is a much harder target to hit, seems like it would tip the match in Kirby's favor.

Course, that's all theory, and I don't play Kirby or Pit.

Well, at least the power of the attack isn't increasing with Kirby's damage...

Pit's hat is a good use, too bad he can reflect the awrows though, but that can only happen if you face a Pit that's good with Side-B and his Down-B. Almost the same rule with Falco.

I'm confenced that Kirby's best hat is Jigglypuff's hat, that hat increase Kirby's favor for a lot of match up's. Someone make a team with Kirby and Jigglypuff.

In terms of copying, Pit's arrows are quite useful.

But the coolest, hands down, has to be a white Kirby with Captain Falcon's ability. It's the coolest outfit in the game.
