Hi Byuusan.

There are a few things i noticed you need to work on:

Id recommend first off by working on your defense a bit more. Youre taking too much unecessary damage at the beginning of your stocks. Whether that would be because your a very offensive player or your just not spot dodging enough i wasnt sure. But like i said, your damage is stacking up to high.

Second, i would recommend working on your DI a bit more as well. There were a few times that i thought if you were about 5% or so higher certain attacks would have prolly killed you. That and your getting chained by attacks when your in the air a bit too much.

You play very offensively, which i need to work on myself. Thats one thing for a fact i liked about your playstyle. You also used tilts very smoothly at times too.

Oh i wanted to point out, the diddy player you were player you were playing wasnt that bad actually. I like the fact that he used his tilts and his air attacks very well and spammed bananas very smoothly with his attacks. Id recommend playing with him more.

Forward Smash looks like it's your main go to move. This shouldn't be the case at all. While the power and priority of Kirby's Forward Smash is amazing, it starts up a little slow to use it like you do, and there's a ton of lag towards the end of it which is easily punishable, especially by a Diddy Kong with banana peel in hand.

I think every player gets those urges to just start smashing when they're playing a character like Kirby, whose smash attacks are really powerful, and it might work sometimes. But people will catch on, and you'll start to get punished.

You need to stop smashing on impulse. A lot of your Forward Smashes can be replaced by jabs, forward tilts, or down tilts. Other ones can be replaced by some of Kirby's amazing aerials. Back Air is your friend. Abuse it.

Ground hammer? Just no. Clever mindgames or a mis-timed spot dodge might help you hit one occasionally, but it usually doesn't pay off.

You don't seem to be entirely used to Diddy Kong's banana peels. Just keep working on it. Kirby's dash attack is great for picking up bananas, not as great as Diddy Kong's, but nothing really is. Kirby has some nice stuff with peels too if you can bother to look for it.
