What are Kirby's best and worst copy abilities?

To do the sword combo, you need to land a hit with the sword and then hold B which will automatically trigger the sword spikes.

(Assuming KSS)
 
That's exactly how you do it. If you press the button harder, it's a sword slice. If you tap quickly, he throws projectiles.

I like how they use pressure sensitive button presses for attacks, not just jumps like most platformers.

I just found that when I wanted to shoot projectiles rapidly, I would accidentally sword slash.

I can do jabs or long punches with the B button attacks when using Fighter just fine.
 
Most fun: Backdrop/Suplex.

Most useful: Hammer (because it can hit special blocks and wooden posts)

Least fun: Needle

Least Useful: Spark+Fish in KD3. It was just a useless lightbulb.
 
So, after playing some more, I think Ninja is my favorite. It has everything, though it's not really the best at any of it.

It has a decent ranged attack with the kunai, but it's weak, and you can't change your attack angle, so it's worse than Archer.

It has a decent katana attack but isn't as strong or versatile as Sword.

It has a good throw, but you can't hold onto your target or change your throw trajectory, so it's not as good as Fighter or Supplex.

It has an invincible dodge that can return damage, but it requires tight timing and has limited range, so it's weaker than Mirror.

And then, on top of these, it has some unique mobility options, like a dive kick and really fast dash attack with good invincibility that takes Kirby through enemies (which is useful for switching sides against bosses), plus a new crowd control smoke bomb move that's kind of useless but hits hard.

The only thing it's lacking is an attack that goes upward, but I don't think any other class has all of these options.
 
Me and my sister used to play Superstar on the SNES a lot and the first ability we tried to find was Copy, so she can be the T.A.C. helper. And the Wheel too, running and shooting was awesome.

Then, the best combined power from Crystal Shards (or at least my favorite) is the dual lightsaber, hands down.

The worst overall? Stone or maaaybe Spikes...

I give stone a pass for this.
