Kirby

So upon checking the trailer for Kirby: Star Allies and it looks like the Animal friends (well at least the ones from Dream Land 3) are a part of the Clean moveset.

Edit: Here's a vid of all of Kirby's copy abilities from the Nintendo of Japan's youtube page.

Be sure to vote for Copy!

Kirby: Return to Dreamland 2 Super Star Ultra Edition

Copy? Mirror? Ho-ho!

Suplex is where it's at! 'Sides, it actually HAS a chance at being in that new Kirby game. (Well, so does Mirror, but Copy's still boned in that regard) Tell me it isn't cathartic to pile drive a sucker while listening to the sweet stylings of Cocoa Cave, circa Dynablade.

I voted for Leaf and will probably also vote for Wing, since those are my two favorites I'd say, but I might throw a few votes Animal's way just because I want to see it re-enter public consciousness. If it does well enough maybe it'll come back in an actual platformer game, too.

Despite it already being in, I voted for Hammer. It saved my life in True Arena.

It amuses me that the only time Kirby got hurt in that video is when he had the Balloon ability. Truly they went above and beyond to represent the true essence of that ability.

Definitely the worst ability of the bunch, IMO. Stuff like Light or Paint might not be very helpful, but at least they aren't an active detriment.

Buff Dedede is everyone's daddy now, I guess.

Buff Dedede looks amazing. Those new copy combos are neat too. Kirby Battle Royale looks like their testing copy abilities in 3D, in the same way Blowout Blast was testing platforming in 3D. For the poll, I'm voting for poison and spear.

Yeah, I'm impressed with what we've seen of Star Allies. They've managed to add in ability combinations without compromising the amount of abilities or the number of moves per ability, it seems.

I love that Yo-yo is back and ripped Dedede is amazing. I wonder what the eldritch abomination final boss of Allies is going to look like, and if the game'll contain all the references.

They mentioned that there were dark forces causing trouble in Star Allies. I get the feeling that the final boss will be a serious matter for Kirby to deal with.

Why is nobody talking about how the animal friends from Dreamland 2 and 3 are back?

Almost put in my vote for Throw and Yoyo, but in the end I had to vote for my favorite ever since the first time I played Kirby's Adventure: Cutter.

Hey, that video remembered Ball Kirby! Fuck Ball Kirby.

It looks like they're just Assist Characters for the new version of the Clean ability.

That's still significantly more than they've had in a long while.

i see you are a man of culture as well

In terms of abilities I'd want in the game, I'm split between Mike (which would be dumb fun), Beam (a staple and a goddamn shame it's not already in), Poison (just according to Keikaku, Translator's note: Keikaku means plan), Mirror (for obvious reasons), Wing (I always had fun flying fast and shooting feathers), Hi-Jump (because I'm really curious how that would even work in this type of game), Fire (same as Beam), Wheel (also dumb fun), Stone (dumb fun and a staple), Cook (the dumbest of fun), and Sleep (as a troll pick).

I now realize that's like a third of the options. Fuck, I love Kirby.

Mirror's my personal favorite. It's just one of the coolest in the series, and I love the updated version in Planet Robobot.

Same! I was so excited to see it's return and loved how they changed it.

As a side note, don't you think it's weird how much focus doctor has had lately?

It is a little weird, considering that Doctor's really not even that particularly great of an ability. The Dr. Mario references are cute and all, but it's too slow and awkward to be used effectively.

I find Doctor pretty good. It's no Archer/Leaf/Hammer, sure, but it's reasonably powerful and has a very diverse range of attack options.

I like Doctor, it's fun and straightforward enough to be easy to use, yet with a lot of complexity.

Bell is the best ability though.
