This forum is to discuss what Character Kirby mainers should second to counter their worst matchups.
Snake Finished
Counters to Snake that we are agreeing on are DDD, and Pikachu.
DDD's advantages are his chaingrab, Grab release on the edge, his strong kill moves, excellent spacing, strong aerials, a backair similar to Kirby's, and a very strong Inhale for countering.
Basically this match is all about grabs, chaingrab till ur heart is content and then chaingrab some more, also keeping Snake away from u by spacing aerails or tilts adds to DDD's strengths against Snake. As long as ur good at grabbing and have decent spacing u shouldn't have a problem with this matchup.
Pikachu: A relatively underused character with a small following, possess a lot of potential. With an aerial game rivaled only by few and a neutral B that stops campers cold, Pikachu has many advantages. First his Uair combos into another Uair. His Fair is very fast and has decent range , his Dair is not a spike but a finisher also has a lot of knockback and splash-damage on the ground. His Dsmash is an amazingly good counter move as good as ROB's. Snake's real game is on the ground. Pika can chaingrab snake to about 50-70 damage then use his aerial game to build another 50-70 damage b4 killing with thunder, Usmash, dair, or dsmash. Fsmash is harder cuz the sweetspot is in the middle. Also if ur fighting a campy snake using Neutral B is a great counter and forces Snake to approach, IS THAT POSSIBLE ?? lol anyway Pika is an excellent Counter to Snake and i suggest every Kirby player learns how to play Pikachu.
Here are some vids of these to characters in action.

I was discussing with my crew what they thought of Marth as a counter to and we have decided that noi one counters MK its more who is even with MK. If u feel that ur even with MK as Kirby then go right ahead and play with ur main. However if u feel that the MK ur playing is to fast for u. I suggest switching to Pika. His speed and aerial range, speed, comboabilty, Dsmash and thunder make him a great choice

Next Character Mr. Game and gay I MEAN Game & Watch
So the new topic is Game and Watch. I personally dont mind playing Game and Watch to much. He is annoying but his dair can be counterd by a SH hammer or the ground hammer if ur good at dash cancelling it. Bair can be countered by Airdodging while jump towards G&W or if u've caatch him early u can do a dash attack to counter. The Turtle has lag so u have to dodge and punish it. Also beware of Dsmash and Fsmash as they are his favorite finishers. Be a good tech'er or esle u can can get tech chased.
However if u need a counter to make the match up easier u can look at these vids at what the boards are suggesting as counters.
The boards believe that TL has an advantage over G&W but mainly Snake due to hist ridiculous KO otential at low percents
Also i wished to discuss another underused character against G&W, Fox. Although some believe this character has seen its last days of tourney his matchup rankings show almost all neutral. However since he's not seen in tourney his game hasn't evolved nor has it seen the camera. SO, if u know or have seen any good Fox vids please post them in the thread so i can add them to the list of ___ vs G&W vids
