Hey all, ITT, I will be showcasing every single copy ability that Kirby has and anaylzing them to help you get the most out of them. Without further ado, here are the videos.

Mario:

Mario's fireball isn't too useful, but can chain to make a more efficient Aerial Hammer. It can also be used to approach and rack up damage. Make sure you always Short Hop when you use the fireball, as it adds to it's range and life. To practice the fireball to hammer combo, go in training and set Mario to Jump and put it at 120% damage.

Luigi:

Unlike Mario's fireball, Luigi's goes perfectly horizontal in the air and doesn't go farther if you use it on the ground or in the air. You can move forwards and backwards while you use the fireball in the air, so it is very good for approaching or pressuring your opponent to rush in. The fireball to hammer combo does not work as well as you think it would. I wouldn't recommend using it for that purpouse.

Peach:

I really have nothing to say for Peach. She just sucks and this is just for the sake of completing the series and to stop people from asking. Sorry.

Bowser:

Bowser: Bowser's ability is good for edge guarding and knocking bowser off the edge if he stays on too long. Using it to rack up damage is not a good idea, as they can easily Smash or Quarter-Circle DI out of it. Learn to DI, nubs. (To be honest, I really feel there are better uses for this but I can't quite figure anything out. I need some help from you guys.)

I'll update over time, so be patient.

Feel free to use this on your own site, however, give me and only me credit. Created by XxOblivion77. Three little words.

Only use I see for Peach's is to frustrate people into mindgames. It's soooooo freakin annoying to get spored by toad, I personally get driven into a babykicking rage if it ever happens to me.

I don't see much purpose to Bowser's besides edgeguarding, and it's easier to just gimp Bowser with Kirby than to bother with the flame breath. You can't rack damage at all with it, DI destroys it. I've seen some people use it to discourage approaches, since it can be aimed a bit or shorthopped, and you can keep your bair a bit fresher that way. It's slightly useful, but it's got no real followups because of the laggy ending. You can get a bit of cheap damage off of dtilt into it, I believe (not entirely sure) - not game-breaking by any means.

Toad can do more than 3%. Can't the spores hit up to six times, 18% total? The only reason it hit once on Peach's side-b is 'cause she moves away at the end of the attack. Still not a very good ability though.

Uh, for bowser, I don't get how you would get to kirbycide because neutral b is still fire. You'd have to use fire, taunt, then kirbycide.

Similar to Falco; with Luigi's fireball, you can lock for a period of time.
I think that may have its uses.
