Kirby Fighters 2/Fighter

Introduction

Fighter

Shoryuken!

Fighter is a primarily close range character based that gets good damage off grounded attacks. That's not to say he can't play from afar, though. Doing the classic Hadouken input (simplified to down > forward + B, or '26B') will give you an instant charged fireball that travels a far distance and deals a lot of damage. Other moves to note are his quick Vulcan Jab (5B) and high-damage Rising Break (8[B]).

Moveset

Vulcan Jab 5B	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 9(6,3) 6 - - Kirby punches rapidly. This attack has two hits.

Smash Punch 5[B]	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 22 6 - - Kirby shoots a blue fireball a short distance.

Leg Sweep 66B	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 14 8 - - Kirby slides forward, his leg out. This attack has 4 hits that each do 1 damage.

Spin Kick 66[B]	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 44(20,12,12) 8 - Crouch avoidable Kirby flies forward, performing 3 spinning kicks. The second and third kick whiff on crouchers. You can perform an alternate version of this move by pressing 66B > B. This version only has two hits.

Down Kick j.B	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 18 6 - - Kirby points his foot downward.

Double Kick j.[B]	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 26 12 - - Kirby kicks with both legs in the air.

Rising Break 8[B]	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 45(20,3,3,3,16) 10 - - Kirby does a powerful rising uppercut, his fist engulfed in red energy. This attack has 5 hits, with the first and last hit having a lot of hitstop. Kirby slides forward during this attack before rising into the air. Kirby is fully actionable after performing this attack.

Sky Kick j.2B	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 22 10 - - Kirby shoots towards the ground, his leg out with burning blue energy surrounding it.

Force Blast 2B	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 20 37 - - Fighter charges up for a short time before firing a small blast of blue energy. This move must be held briefly, or you will input Vulcan Jab. You will not use this move often, as 26B is faster and does more damage.

Mega Force Blast 2[B]	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 24 64 - - Kirby charges up a little longer before shooting a larger blast of blue energy. You basically never want to use this, since 26B is a faster version of the same move.

Giga Force Blast 2{B}	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 50 99 - Transcendent. Kirby charges up even longer before shooting a giant fireball. It does massive damage, but takes a while to charge and is very telegraphed. You can occasionally land it with a hard read, or if your opponent jumps into it, but you're almost always better off just using 26B.

Instant Mega Force Blast 26[B]	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 24 7 - - A Mega Force Blast fired instantly, using the classic Hadouken input. Use this instead of 2B and 2[B]. It does more damage and is much, much faster.

Moon Somersault Kick c.j.B	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 26 7 - - Kirby flips in the air, performing a circular kick. This attack knocks the opponent into the air, making it good for combos.

Foe Grab c.6B/c.8B	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 0 1 - Unblockable Kirby grabs the opponent.

Arm Throw 6/8 after Foe Grab	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 20 13 - - Fighter throws his opponent forward after grabbing them. The 8 version throws them higher up.

Judo Throw 2/4 after Foe Grab	Damage Startup Total Frames Attributes 20 5 - - Fighter flips his opponent behind him after grabbing them. the 4 version throws them farther away.
