Editing Kirby (SSBB)

*{{buff|All tilts and smash attacks have larger hitboxes.}}

*[[Neutral attack]]:

**{{nerf|The first two hits deal less damage (3%/4% → 2%/3%) the first hit has a shorter duration (frames 3-4 → 3).}}

*[[Forward tilt]]:

**{{nerf|Forward tilt deals less damage (11% → 8%/7%) without proper compensation on its base knockback (8 → 12) and has received a sourspot on the tip of Kirby's foot.}}

**{{buff|Up tilt has a longer duration (frame 4 (clean)/5-7 (late) → 4-5/6-10) and has less ending lag (FAF 24 → 21).}}

**{{buff|It now grants intangibility to Kirby's foot.}}

**{{nerf|It deals less damage (8%/6% → 7%/5%).}}

**{{change|It has reduced knockback scaling (118/114 → 102). This hinders its KO potential but improves its combo potential at lower percents when combined with its lower damage.}}

*[[Down tilt]]:

**{{buff|Down tilt has less ending lag (FAF 30 → 21).}}

*[[Dash attack]]:

**{{change|Kirby has a new dash attack: the Break Spin from the Yo-yo ability.}}

**{{buff|All of Kirby's aerials have decreased landing lag (15 frames → 9 (neutral/back/up), 20 frames → 13 (forward), 20 frames → 15 (down)) although due to the removal of [[L-canceling]], their landing lag was not fully compensated.}}

*[[Neutral aerial]]:

**{{nerf|Its clean and mid hits have a shorter duration (frames 10-17 (clean)/18-29 (mid)/30-34 (late) → 10-11/12-15/16-20/21-34).}}

**{{nerf|It has significantly increased ending lag (FAF 50 → 73), making it riskier to use offstage.}}

**{{buff|Forward aerial's hits connect more reliably due to the first two hits having larger hitboxes and less knockback (30 (base), 70 (scaling) → 35/50 (hit 1), 28/30 (hit 2)). It can now also auto-cancel in a short hop due to Kirby's slower falling speed and lower gravity despite auto-canceling later (frame 38 → 41). The final hit also has a much larger hitbox which now covers Kirby's whole body.}}

**{{nerf|It deals less damage (5% (hits 1 & 2), 8% (hit 3), 16% (total) → 4% (hit 1), 3% (hit 2), 5% (hit 3), 12% (total)) and the third hit's knockback scaling wasn't fully compensated (130 → 138). It also has more ending lag (FAF 40 → 44).}}

*[[Back aerial]]:

**{{buff|It greatly benefits from the introduction of [[reverse aerial rush]] making it a much more viable approach option.}}

**{{nerf|It deals less damage (14% → 12% (clean), 10% → 9% (late)) although its knockback was compensated (10 (base), 100 (scaling) → 20/105 (clean), 100 (scaling) → 110 (late)).}}

**{{nerf|It has a shorter duration (frames 6-20 → 6-14) and more ending lag (FAF 36 → 41).}}

*[[Up aerial]]:

**{{nerf|It has more ending lag (FAF 36 → 40) and auto-cancels later (frame 17 → 22).}}

**{{change|It deals less damage (15% → 10%) and knockback (30 (base), 100 (scaling) → 20/98), improving its combo ability, but significantly hindering its KO potential. It also now launches opponents vertically instead of horizontally (361° → 70°) improving its juggling potential but hindering its edgeguarding potential.}}

*[[Down aerial]]:

**{{buff|Down aerial is more effective at meteor smashing opponents due to the changes to [[meteor canceling]], Kirby's lower falling speed, and with the introduction of the [[footstool jump]], can be easily comboed into a move that sends the opponent down farther. It also has much larger hitboxes.}}

**{{nerf|Each hit of deals less damage (3% → 2%) reducing its total damage output (16% → 12%). Its knockback was also not fully compensated (30 (base), 100 (scaling) → 20/107) hindering its edgeguarding potential especially at lower percents.}}

**{{buff|Opponents can no longer escape during the middle of the animation.}}

**{{buff|It has much more combo ability at lower percents due to the changes to [[DI]] and the inability for opponents to escape abruptly.}}

*[[Back throw]]:

**{{buff|Opponents can no longer escape during the middle of the animation.}}

*[[Down throw]]:

**{{buff|Down throw deals more damage (0% (hits 1-9)/1% (hit 10)/7% (throw/total) → 1% (hits 1-10)/2% (throw)/12% (total)) and no longer puts opponents into [[tumble]] at lower percents.}}

===Special moves===

**{{buff|Inhale can eat items and has slightly improved range with a vacuum, which also improves his defensive options on the ground and in the air.}}

**{{nerf|[[Sacrificial KO]]s now KO Kirby and his victim at the same time, no longer allowing Kirby to escape after the opponent is KO'd. Inhale's collateral damage has been decreased across the board; many characters deal 1% or 2% less damage when spit, while Fox and Falco deal 4% and 3% less respectively. Only the damage of a spit Kirby is unchanged (though Young Link and Toon Link also deal the same damage).}}

**{{bugfix|Kirby's [[shrink glitch]] from {{SSBB|Yoshi}}'s [[Egg Lay]] has been removed.}}

*Copy Abilities

**{{change|The aerial variant functions differently, being two strong horizontal swings instead of a multi-hitting vertical loop swing.}}

**{{buff|It deals more damage (4% (early loop), 2% (late loop) → 17%/13% (hit 1), 15%/10% (hit 2)) and knockback (40/30 (set), 100 (scaling) → 65/50 (base), 75/70 (scaling) (hit 1), 60/70 (hit 2)) giving Kirby access to an aerial KO option and a semi-spike, as well as an anti-edgeguard tool.}}

**{{buff|It has less ending lag (FAF 69 → 50).}}

**{{nerf|It has less vertical reach and both hits of do not link into each other as reliably as before.}}

**{{nerf|It has more startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 7-46 → 17-18/34-35) and more landing lag (16 frames → 27).}}

*[[Final Cutter]]:

**{{buff|[[Final Cutter]] is faster, travels more horizontal distance, and no longer makes Kirby lose all jumps if knocked away, improving its recovery potential. The [[meteor smash]] produced on descent now lasts for as long as Kirby falls, instead of just for the first few frames.}}
