Not bad. Some things I noticed:

-Way too much rolldodging
-In both matches, you grabbed a little too much. He tended to spotdodge, so doing neutral A jabs would have been better
-Use fthrow->uair at low percentages, and use Dthrow more at higher percentages. Dthrow->utilt SHOULD be escapable at 0%, by Mario at least. You kept using backthrow, but you were pretty unsuccessful at gimping him, so use dthrow instead, it has good damage and good followups.
-Don't be afraid to chase Mario offstage...it's pretty easy to read what he's going to do, and pretty easy to gimp him with Dair. Just be careful not to go so low that you have to recover with Final Cutter....a good Mario will cape that.
-Speaking of cape, try using an aerial in the opposite direction of him every so often, because he may cape it into himself. He used cape a ton when you were near the edge, that would have been a good time.

That's all I can think of right now...overall you were both pretty good, but there is room for improvement for both players :/

You should upload a match of you against a different character too

Lurking the Kirby Social thread with my rock buds.
Very nice job. I was gonna say some awesome things, but asdioh said them... meh, I'll say 'em too.

He was caping a bit predictably. An attack in the opposite direction would've been a good idea, not to mention the best mindgame in existance. I'm thinking fthrow>uair>reverse fsmash which he capes into hitting him, for example.

I see a lot of Kirbies using f-throw 99% of the time, and you were no exception. Use uthrow or dthrow (preferably dthrow); they deal more damage when you can no longer combo them.

No dtilt?

Too much bthrow. You weren't effective at gimping him, so use throws that do more damage.

Speaking of grabs, you're a bit grab-happy.

Instead of fthrow>jump fair, try fthrow>jump hammer at the same range of percents. People don't expect it a surprising amount of the time.

If they spotdodge a lot, use a dash attack. I have yet to not land the attack in that situation.

That's all for now. I'll probably have more later.

I know I need more f-tilt and definitely less dodging. I've actually been working on that this whole weekend.(Playing non-stop all weekend with friends can have a effect)
