Better: not only he was a poor competitor in melee, but most of his PM attributes are from brawl, so the article is less extensive to read. Also removed the dair nerf, since it doesn't appear to be much of a change.

*{{buff|Most copy abilities are altered to be more familiar to Kirby's playstyle, rather than just being identical to those of the original character. For example, [[Chomp]] bites more times and deals stronger damage, while [[Chef]] shoots food faster.}}

*{{buff|Can now aim [[Final Cutter]] horizontally when airborne, which gives a single hit of 8% damage and can be quickly canceled into an aerial as it ends, extending [[combo]] options. Also, Kirby can use any action (except another Final Cutter) afterwards, including an air dodge, extending his [[recovery]]. The vertical Final Cutter acts like in ''Brawl'', being faster and having a stronger [[meteor smash]].}}

*{{buff|[[Stone]] now starts and falls faster, and gives Kirby gradually more powerful armor during its transformation. It gives light armor during start-up, then quickly turns into medium armor, and lastly it becomes heavy armor as Kirby transforms completely. Kirby can also slightly move sideways before falling, and landing with the move produces additional quake hitboxes as in ''Brawl''.}}
