My first bit of advice is to work on your approach. I'm not sure where you picked up the habit, but you can't just run in and try for a dash grab or dash attack nearly every time; you will get killed if you keep that up.

Watch the swallow's (copy), it's a free dair. Also relax with the inhale since it's easily punished.

Utilize Kirby's air game. You barely seem to leave the ground on your own will.

Moderate your stone usage more.

You use final cutter in some weird places that are easily punished.

So basically, I'd get back to the basics with Kirby. I know he's not your main, and you haven't played in two months, and WiFi johns, but this Kirby isn't going to beat anyone with a good head on their shoulders. You're incredibly predictable; being so predictable that you're unpredictable doesn't really work. You need to mix up your game seriously, and really beef up your knowledge of how all of Kirby's moves work and start utilising that knowledge.

ahah, I was watching the first match, and I love how wifi froze right as he upsmashed you for the ko XD

Anyway...first, get a better internet and capture device :p

er...other than that, from what I watched, you attempted to grab way too much, and you didn't follow the grabs up with combos very well. You just seemed to rack up damage very slowly. All I can say is use grabs sure, but not very predictably, and mix it up with some aerials. Also, try not to use too many easily punishable moves, unless you're going for the ko.

Didn't seem too bad, just practice more since you haven't played in two months, and you'll be pretty good.

Try to limit your Rock and final cutter unless you sure that it will hit, because you will get punish.
Grab combo, I also i trouble with that also, um look up Gonzo combo and other topics that might help.

Definitely watch ur grabs and make sure to follow up with combos. They are ur main form of damage at early percents most of the time. There was a time at the beginning of the first video where you jumped up off the edge and went behind TL. You should have used ur bair right then and knocked him off the stage. Kirby's air game is amazing USE IT. Utilize opportunities to use tilts whenever possible, as they provide some damage with little to no lag and are easily combod out of (down-tilt -> f-smash). Just keep practicing and u will get better.
