The Competitive Kirby (Video Compendium)

[t!MmY]

Good news fellow Kirby fans. I've taken the first steps to starting my Kirby Video Guide: making an outline. I plan to start working on it during Spring Break.

I will keep this page updated, and post how things are coming along, up until the video is finished. Right now there is no release date to speak of, but I hope to get it done before summer when tournaments and fun will likely get in the way of dreary video editing.

The premise:
This video will consist of two parts.

The fisrt part is to document each of Kirby's attacks and explain the fundamentals of use/combos/etc. I will demonstrate the theory of each attack with footage from actual matches to show the practical applications.

The second video is a catch-all where I demonstrate uses for moves beyond the basics. Kirbycides, Strategy/Tactics, Glitches, and situational or cornercase uses for attacks.

Here is the current outline, comment as you please. Make sure to let me know if I've forgotten anything, as this is a working-list.

I think you should have a whole section dedicated to recovery and edge/air guarding. It makes up a huge part of Kirby's game, and discussing strategies in one go is better than having them spread out across the different attacks.

That's a good idea, but probably not going to happen. As it is, I was shooting for a short video and ended up with two longish videos. o_0

My goal right now is just to complete these in a timely manner; I tend to put a lot of work into my projects which takes up extra time.

Yeea this video looks like its gonna be really helpful, though hopefully the move section won't be too tedious to look at..

GL with it T!mmy

I'll try to not make it tedious, but I intend to make a complete guide. The main trouble is just finding time to get everything done... editing takes so long. o_o
