    Potential option: Give Kirby variable air speed. Kirby's slow air speed is meant to match how slow he is while floating in his games, but floating is separate from just jumping. When jumping from the ground, Kirby's air speed remains the same as whatever his ground speed was, so a running jump will send Kirby through the air quite quickly. As such, a single jump, or falling off a ledge, getting hit into the air, or other such ways to become airborn, should result in Kirby having an air speed close to that of his running speed, with a similarly increased fall speed. However, when you start using your air jumps everything starts to slow down. You enter your floaty mode, and both your air speed and fall speed are reduced to what they are now. You shouldn't be stuck in your floaty mode though. Attacking or getting hit by an attack should result in the inhaled air leaving Kirby's body, allowing him to move and fall faster until the player uses an air jump again.

    My kirby dream changes: -A bit more air speed (imo he should still be in the lower side of the spectrum, just not the _lowest_ side) -Bring back the fast air side-b from brawl -Quicker up-b as said in the video (and yes, the sm4sh custom was the inspiration for this one) -Down-B is faster to start and he hovers up a bit before going down, effect seen in moves like bowser or banjo's dairs. That way it's a little better for landing. And quite an ambitious change: -For some characters, he gets a different and more useful copy-ability (ie bayo's witch twist/witch time or link's remote bomb instead of their underwhelming neutral-b)

    i think letting kirby do more with opponents' projectiles is long overdue. a big difference between the inhale in smash and the inhale in the games is that in the games it just feels more versatile, more destructive. kirby can inhale several objects at once if hes getting hit with a barrage of projectiles, and each consecutive object inhaled will make his star spit even more powerful. i think adding this to smash could make his inhale feel more like a genuine counter against opponents as opposed to something more gimmicky that you can only do in close contact. oh, also, letting kirby copy abilities from projectiles would be pretty cool too. like if link shoots an arrow at him from across the stage, he can just copy the arrow and start shooting right back. i'm not a super competitive smash player, but these things just feel like they'd make him more fun and less helpless!

    Down throw should be made into a combo throw but back throw and especially forward throw can be used to start combos. Even if back throw doesn't have as many. For up throw it would be best if that was his kill throw and dealt a bit more damage and knockback. I agree down air needs less endlag but comboing down air into up air isn't really practical since if dair hits you can follow up with up tilt or nair, uair is on the slower side of kirby's aerials. Up tilt can also lead to up smash at lower percents

    People will always want to say buff his air drift or ground speed, but don't realize he's intentionally design as he is to match his speed in his 2d games. There's other ways to buff a character besides just taking out their negatives. Change Side B back to its brawl version, give it forward aerial momentum again and let it be stronger without a dumb charge gimmick like in Brawl. Down B shield break for Sm4sh. Allow eatting projectiles heal the amount of damage or even heal damage x1.2 multiplier to really make zoners think before shooting. Make Up throw a better kill throw slightly. UpB snapping to ledge since it is suppose to be a beginner friendly character so should be beginner friendly recovery. There's definitely frame data tweaks that can be done as well.

    I always thought a good buff for Kirby would be inhale. You could make the wind box match the actual animation and instead of being restricted to just the opponents neutral special, he could now have the ability to take ANY special by pressing a direction and if you do want the neutral special, you could just press B again while you had an opponent your mouth. I think to compensate for this though, you could have the multiplier be changed from 20% more damage to 10%. Imagine Kirby with Witch Time or Charizards flare blitz. Fucking domination.

    Yeah because of his smaller hurt box and easy for beginners. While King Dedede has a better range, projectiles, good longevity, ko potential, and a better special than Kirby. And lastly King Dedede fully charge hammer will break any shield while Kirby fully charge hammer doesn’t for some strange reason. In other words Kirby was outclassed for better neutral than his nemesis.

    @@freedomfighter7488 DDD literally only has one projectile that isn't even a real projectile or used like a real projectile (it's a trapping tool in advantage and it doesnt even work on a lot of relevant characters) and it comes out on frame 29 and is a huge commitment. DDD has good range but his CQC is utter trash unlike Kirby's solid CQC (DDD literally has a frame 10 jab with his fastest move being a frame 6 downtilt thats -21 on shield that you cant space to be safer). Also DDD got a nerf in 3.1.0 that prevents his forwardsmash from shieldbreaking even at full % and its actually one of the worst fsmashes in the game once you realize how to get past gordo fsmash. Also DDD's entire schtick is that he survives forever, Kirby isn't that kind of character he's a close range brawler that's reliant on frame traps with his amazing frame data while hes a generally faster character EVEN IN THE AIR. Kirby's neutral tends to be better too due to his superior frame data and approach options thanks to pivot cancel ftilt even if its still not great. Kirby is more than fine in the meta as a solid mid tier with a lot of great counterpick usages vs the likes the Palutena, ZSS, Pikachu, and Roy with D3's mu spread being among the worst in the game ironically as well. So yea kirby DOES outclass DDD.

    Again you need to look at traits more than appearance of character. It’s true Kirby is better King Dedede due to frame data. But as the meta goes on you need to know what character lack off compared to other characters due to matchup knowledge. Just like any other Pokemon game there are certain Pokémon outclassed other Pokémon due to movepool, stats, and ability. Now put this into Smash respective where fighters has a better move set or move pool than other fighters at cost of frame data or stats in Pokémon terms. After all it’s not good enough to have good frame data if you moves doesn’t have good range or ko potential. And if you can not get these traits on your opponent again and again, then you not going to have a useful fighter. This is why King Dedede are good fighters compared to Kirby due to mixups, longevity, and good approach options at a cost of frame data. Like the saying says Slow and steady win the race. And PS I refer Special moves that break shields not Fsmash.

    The reason multi-jump characters like Kirby have low air speed is because they tend to have low-mid% combos that carry you to the blastzone. The Air speed buff might be necessary, but i always wondered why Sakurai wouldnt make a compromise: The more you jump, the slower you get. This allows Kirby to play an Okayish Neutral while also reducing his air-carry potential. Everybody wins!

    Most of my ideas have been addressed. But I have one more change and it’d be a weird Kirby change: Give him his Brawl side B. His hammer in Brawl was actually pretty decent on account that it kept him in the air for a bit and the double swing speed was relatively fast. Heck, give him his Melee hammer swing where he swung repeatedly in every direction and fixing the hit-box so that it is a multi-hit move that doesn’t just tickle enemies and maybe even kill. It could combo from forward throw, up-tilt and would be a much needed kill confirm. This hammer swing would be based off of how kirby swings his hammer in previous games while in the air where he’d do 2 flips. I don’t know why they changed it to what it is today because in the kirby games as recent as robobot, I’m pretty sure he still does the original hammer flip while in the air.

    Here's my idea for kirby: Rather than having him copy his opponents neutral B, he copies their element like in the actual kirby games. And this would go for anything he sucks up. So for instance if he sucks up Mario, or his fireball, he becomes Fire Kirby, and all four of his special moves change to a Fire Kirby moveset. If he sucks up Marth, he becomes Sword Kirby and gets four new sword moves. It would drastically change his playstyle depending on who he was fighting though, but it would be so cool and accurate to the games. Even if it was just the neutral b that changed (with maybe some elemental flavor effects on his other moves) I think I would still prefer it. It would make his kit more consistent.

    I feel like we should use the multiple specials for copy, but to a different extent. Instead of copying a specific character and gaining their neutral special, he would copy a set amount of abilities for the archetype. Like for instance if he inhaled a sword fighter he would use his sword ability from his game rather than shield breaker(if he were to inhale marth). This would make it more consistent and show off classic copy abilities from his series.

Oh and when Kirby does his up b attack give him his little green elf hat that would be pretty cool even though its already part of his final smash.😎

Also fix forward throw.

    You can also pull from the game and actually have him be able to puff up making him very floaty, and make his aerials shoot out the air bullet, giving him faster falling speed. Then more buffs can be added to the hit boxes making them more reliable to hit. They can also make the air bullet be a good ko move and fire it out when he lands. The float will only be after his second jump though so then he should be able to combo much better with the fast fall speed and the have a ko option in the air bullet if required.

Plus it just makes more sense than final cutter... which is a finishing move after a 4 hit combo. Make his aerial side b like Melee, but instead of a multi hit it’s a single hit that kills well, isn’t laggy, and has a reasonable hitbox.

    6:58 "Too much of a change from keeping Kirby feeling like 'himself'" Uh, first off, Kirby's whole Gimmick IS copying everything that ISN'T HIMSELF and using it to HIS ADVANTAGE. He becomes a Mirror of whoever he's fighting. That's what makes Kirby, well, "Kirby". 2nd--Look back at all the Kirby games, esp the more recent ones like Star Allies where Sword Kirby just rocks with several movesets all by copying a Sword Fighter. All you'd have to do is make sure Sword Kirby in Smash feels close to Sword Kirby in the main series. Infact, lets go ALL OUT. 3rd--Why stop with just Swords!? Copy Bowser/Charizard/Mario and you gain a Fire Kirby's Moveset, Melee's Burning Dash Included. Ryu/Ken/Terry = Fighter + their gimmick of always looking at an opponent. Sheik = Ninja. You get the idea. 4th = My 2 Cents on fixing Kirb. On picking Kirby on the character screen, a second, tiny stock icon appears. Use this to pick which copy ability you wanna perma-keep the whole match while leaving it on Kirby keeps Kirby as we know him. Imagine always being Steve Kirby or Shulk Kirby when Steve or Shulk aren't present in a 1v1 Match against, say, Joker or Jigglypuff.

With recent buffs such as shaving frames off of some of his neutral tools and kill options and buffing the damage and knock back of other moves I wouldn't call him the worst character anymore. But he still has a long way to go if he wants to be where he was in smash 64. If I were to be realistic that probably won't happen but by the end of Ultimate's life span I hope Kirby will be mid tier at best. Competitively viable but not best in the game. Agree?

    Something I think a lot of people overlook is a really inconsistent but really potent combo known as D-Air Ride. Simply chain D-Air to U-Tilt over and over again. This can rack up roughly 70% to even 80% on midweights and typically even more on heavyweights which can result in 0 to deaths. However it’s s extremely DI dependant and is still very difficult to pull off and is even impossible on certain characters that have fast combo breakers like Mario and Luigi. Something I’d do is give the landing hitbox of Kirby’s D-Air an upward launch angle instead of one that launches diagonally and reduce the amount of startup and landing lag that the attack has in order to make D-Air Ride more consistent. To balance this however I’d also give his U-Tilt more base knockback. From there I’d give him some more smaller changes. Slightly adjust the launch angle on F-Throw and give it less endlag, make his U-Throw and B-Throw do more knockback, make U-Special and D-Special faster, make S-Special do more knockback at lower charge levels specifically, make U-Special snap to the ledge better, and most importantly, increase his air speed

And more combo potential on his down throw or back throw even. Since his bread and butter combos I use all start with forward throw. Of course not including his up tilt or Dair ride. And while I think this it would be amazing I think it would be nice if it would be when using kirbys Neutral B if you held side B, down B or Up or just b. Depending on which one you held it would be the ability you get when you held neutral B as normal, since as much as I liked your idea I doubt sakurai would consider it.
