Introduction
Beam (Unlocked at Fighters Rank 10)
Beam is a relatively limited character, having only 5 moves, but its moves are very useful. Beam Blast (66j.B) is the most important (and infamous) of them, being a damaging move that many characters have a hard time punishing due to Beam being in the air.

- Kirby jumps into the air and shoots a three streams of beams at a downward angle.
- This attack does quite a bit of damage and if spaced right, is very difficult to punish for characters that don't have good anti-airs. It can link into itself multiple times.
- Using 66j.B boosts Beam upwards into the air slightly, which can make Beam land on platforms (such as on Butter Building) or make it that much harder to reach.
- Perfect for doing a little trolling

- Kirby charges up his beam wand then fires a huge ball of energy.
- Because this move takes so long to charge, it's rarely used. However, if landed, it does a lot of damage.
