Kirby is another robust character with only a few minor matchup problems. As a general buff Kirby has inherited improved versions of all buffed neutral specials for other characters. Copy itself also does 10% damage now, equal to spitting an enemy out. Futher consider that Copy is now generally safe, and Kirby will have a lot more reason to be using his special powers. Stone has also been given a decent strength boost, which helps a surprising amount in Kirby’s worst matchups. Otherwise, Kirby hasn’t changed much; even his low damage chain throws are untouched!
