    Regarding the Copy ability from *Kirby Super Star:* It was also useful in the *Milky Way Wishes* portion of that game, as your own copy ability is nerfed in that game, requiring you unlock them in order to use them. The copy allowed you to use abilities you hadn't unlocked yet.

    • @SilverFoxR
      @SilverFoxR ปีที่แล้ว +36

      @@Magic_Ice Unless you play in multiplayer, because the helper version of Copy is a legitimate monster. TAC (the helper) can all but one-shot any enemy he cannot copy and the hand (which has surprising range) is pretty powerful even on bosses. Even more broken, however, is that, when TAC transforms with Copy, he gains full health in that form. Furthermore, if that form is damaged, he can drop it like Kirby can and have whatever health he had before. For all intents and purposes, a good TAC player can be immortal, cleverly switching between powers to protect himself.
      And, if that wasn't all, TAC is the first character in the series to have the "hide and take no damage" guard ability, meaning he can "block" with the shoulder buttons and be completely immune to damage.
      If you're playing multiplayer with a friend, you give them this ability, hands-down. It was even upgraded in Superstar Deluxe for the DS, making it pretty potent if you play solely as a helper and not Kirby himself.

    • @toast_busters
      @toast_busters ปีที่แล้ว +4

      There's obvious ways to separate them again, they just probably haven't thought of it yet. One thought I had is to make Burning be the one that gives you more control over your trajectory while you dash and then also adding an ability to charge it up and become a more powerful fireball. Fire could still keep some elements, like the aerial dash, but it would be much weaker. They could do something similar with Freeze and Ice -- Make the dash attack for ice into the spinning ice breath from 64, and then give Freeze some ability to expand its AOE and maybe some gimmick moves where Kirby turns into a snowman or you can create a blizzard above your head. Stuff like that

    Here's my top 5 personally:
    5. Hammer, almost got a bit bored of this before Forgotten Land where the hits feel so impactful and reminded me why I like this ability so much.
    4. Spear, For so many years I loved Spear. It's fast,l ong and turns me into a helicopter. All I felt like this ability was missing was some kind of dash attack. Then Bandana Dee got Ground Thrust in Star Allies and everything was right with the world again.
    3. Yo-yo, this ability just feels so smooth and cool to use. Plus the backwards cap is always a plus.
    2. Fighter, I get to be Ryu from Streets and use a command input. This is always a reliable ability to thrash anyone around in.
    1. Sword. This is like picking Charizard as your favourite Pokemon. "Wow you must really like stale bread too huh?" But I can't help it. It's moveset is so full and fluid. All of it's moves feel like they connect into each other. And who doesn't love a good duel with the coolest knight around.

    Funnily enough, the only kirby games I've played are Adventure, Super Star Ultra, and Planet Robobot, and the ladder two are the only two appearances of Mirror, so I had been under the impression that Mirror was very common in this series. I had honestly forgotten about it completely because it had been so long! Now I want to replay Robobot lol.

    62: I think Paint is at least notable for being one of the few screennukes where a boss can troll you with it. Marx can grant you Paint but when it's used on him, it does an obscenely miniscule amount of damage.
    46: Admittedly Forgotten Lands is my first proper Kirby game, but Drill threw me for such a loop when I first ran into it. Luckily, the stage it's in does a decent job giving you a tutorial for it but still, was very awkward for a moment.

  • @AndresLionheart
    @AndresLionheart ปีที่แล้ว

    I didn't play much of or many Kirby games until Return to Dreamland on Wii. Because of that game Ninja became my favorite ability. It's the perfect combination of power in close range, speed and mobility with the dash attack, and ranged option with the Kunai spam. The special animation when parrying a move doing a substitution jutsu, and the incredibly powerful grab that also allows to use the stars bosses spawn (meant for no power kirby) to deal absurd damage. Combining it with electricity in Star Allies made it even cooler! (that dash attack followed by lightning strikes never got old).
