a-Kirby-a-Day: Day 8!

Back Air Kirby! This one looks quite different, doesn't it? I'm trying something different for my future wellbeing, so here is a low-res wobbly drawing of Kirby's back air in Smash.

Movement is truly a source of life.

Curious to see if any of you have Kirby related stuff to ask me, as I am one who has many thoughts on this pink fellow.

I should playthrough star allies ultimate soul melter, i actually really dont like its 30fps nature for arenas. I heard triple deluxe true arena was really hard too, but i dont have triple deluxe since i played my friends copy way back when. One day ill get to it, but i do remember pyribbit!

Ability nerfs in concept r valid & warrented 4 deluxe, but they did not need to rob parasol of its one good boss shredding move. I think if none of the abilities got nerfed, current sand would slot in pretty well. But now, sand is just so op lol. Oh well, at least ninja didnt get nerfed hard!

I really enjoy ultras new game modes tho, i would love to see a backport of them into the og super star engine, but thats a huge ask given how much of an enigma og super stars engine is lol. Theres no way i could replicate its engine, and rom hacking scares me.

Ig ultra is the exception to my arena clause. I like ultras true arena more than og arena, but i vastly prefer og ablities w/ their better sfx (shoutout to ultras new plasma and jet sfx tho), more expressive movement and tougher command grabs (ultra command grabs r too reliable given their strength)

Robobot w/ rtdl deluxe, forgotten land & ultra not far behind as favs.

Majority of my fondness is based on arenas. Tho im not fond of the ability nerfs in deluxe it has the more fun true arena.

Robobot has really awesome lvl design & sentimentality as my first kirby game i was hyped for prelaunch.

Ice + spark from kirby 64 is infinite food, so that would be epic.

For regular abilities, jet would allow me to effectively fly while dealing respectable damage for self defense (esp if i can grab smth). Kirby is so blessed with these awesome abilities!

I also really enjoy the wide variety of play offered from the multiple abilities of unique identity, co-op play, and even game modes. This game is just full of life.

For Kirby Super Star, its full of surprises and its high skill ceiling! I think those 2 go hand in hand. I'm always learning something cool/interesting/funny whenever this game is being played. I also really enjoy the assortment of advanced tech that future kirby games just dont have anymore.

Landing lag is gone?!

A late decision, but the attack speed boost badge have been replaced with landing lag removal! Try it out yourself.

Back to the good ol' days with this one...

a-Kirby-a-Day: Day 6

Fighter Kirby! This would be some sort of sky dive punch attack, that sure would be cool to see, since his other down air attacks are very similar to other abilities.

It's been a while since the last one, but I plan on keeping this up!

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

In this hypothecial kirby fangame world (...one day), this sky dive punch would replace down angled kick, and go straight down w/ iframes. It would really feel like a breaker-type move, and i do think that could be a cool thematic for fighter to fulfill

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

a-Kirby-a-Day: Day 5!

Yo-yo Kirby! I love the sheer creativity of Kirby Super Star abilities.

Hammer Drop (alongside Rocket Dive from Jet) have got to be some of my favorite command grabs of all time.
