I can't officially confirm it but yeah I'm losing copy abilities on almost any strong hit.Something that does annoy me is that he seems to lose his copy abilities more often than before, but I need further confirmation on this.
Kirby just doesn't have enough approach or retreat options which doesn't play well with him being super light. In order to win as Kirby you need to both have the read and be unpredictable.Kirby is undoubtedly better in a vacuum compared to his Smash 4 counterpart, but compared to everyone else, he ultimately (pffffttt) feels worse overall, mostly because other bottom/low/middle tiers got so much bigger buffs (i.e. Zelda, Ganondorf, Jigglypuff, Roy, etc.) than he did, whether it was direct buff or changes to the game's mechanics; it also does help that swords are the big thing currently, which do give Kirby quite a hard time >~<
It was a hard choice for me and I had to think about it ever since Ultimate (the game I dreamt of in my childhood) came out, but I eventually decided on Ultimate's Kirby. We have Melee dash attack (pure awesomeness), playing him is almost like returning to the Smash 64 glory days of when Kirby was freaking broken (as well as Pika Pika), he's not bottom 5, but still D-Tier like in Smash 4. But overall, I think Ultimate's Kirby is better because you can do the combo I found in Super Smash Flash 2 (yes, that's still a thing): Back Air to Upward Special.The game has been out for over two weeks, which Kirby do y'all think is better so-far? And if he's looking worse than he was in Smash 4, what buffs do you think he should receive?
I approve of your avatar and what you had to say, good sir.Ultimate is better by far. Almost every character got better in the transition between Smash 4 and Ultimate -- they got more options, their gameplan got cleaned up, etc. Is Kirby further behind the curve in ultimate? Perhaps, but he definitely still trounces Smash 4 Kirby
As do I yours, KingI approve of your avatar and what you had to say, good sir.
The initial posts were from before Kirby was buffed in a patch.I love how the first half of these posts said Kirby was nerfed but the other say he's buffed. Anyway is better hands down.
