Changes

Majority of his moveset has been changed.

Side tilt is a broom sweep, which is weaker than his former side tilt.

It is a great frontal approach prevention tool.

Side smash is his former side special, a hammer swing, which is stronger than his former side smash.

Up tilt is a rising uppercut, which is stronger and a good K.O move when sweetspotted.

Unlike his former up tilt, it cannot combo into itself.

Up smash is an uppercut with a stone fist, which is much more stronger than his previous up smash.

It is also much more slower.

Down tilt is his sliding attack, which cannot trip opponents at high percents.

Down smash is a breakdance kick, which can hit multiple times and is stronger.

Dash attack is a dash while forming into a wheel, which is faster and slightly more powerful than his previous dash attack.

Forward aerial is a somersault kick with a crescent shaped flash at the end of the move, which is weaker than his former side tilt.

It can follow up into another forward aerial and other aerials, improving his K.O potential.

Up and down aerial involves Kirby using his parasol, with his up aerial being stronger in terms of damage and his down aerial being a weak meteor smash that drags opponents along with Kirby when he dives.

Forward throw is a quick, strong punch that can kill at higher percents.

Back throw is toss behind Kirby that can kill at higher percents.

Up throw has a new animation and it doesn't involve Kirby leaping up high, passing the upper blast line.

Side special is weaker than his former side special.

Side special is a better horizontal recovery tool.

Down special is weaker than it's previous incarnations.

New Final Smash.

Up special				Final Cutter				On the ground, Kirby will slash the opponent with his Cutter boomerang, which can lead to many hits should the opponent get hit by the first slash and if the special button is tapped/held down. After the next few slashes, Kirby will leap into the air, slashing the opponents upwards and slams downwards, creating a slash wave after hitting the ground. In the air, Kirby simply slashes upwards and doesn't do the combo. If the special button is held down when he is slashing upwards, he will slash downwards, meteor smashing opponents and often times leading to a suicide if performed off-stage.				4% (on the ground, first slash), 2% (on the ground, other slashes), 3% (leaping slash), 8% (final slash), 3% (slash wave)
Down special				Stone				Kirby turns into a stone object and slams downwards. Can turn into many things, varying to a statue of a strong-man, one of the Kirby characters and other characters from Nintendo, to a Brick Block, to a Thwomp, etc, but those are for special effects and don't change how much damage the move does. The forming rocks deal damage and push opponents away from Kirby.				8% (forming rocks), 12% (stone)
Final Smash				Hypernova				Kirby inhales a Miracle Fruit and gains the Hypernova ability. He then starts inhaling, catching anyone caught in the inhale's hitbox, spitting them out when the move ends.				2% (inhale/inside Kirby), 8% (spit)
