Another pair of groups today:

KIRBY CHARACTERS

KIRBY
--Now does adorable copy poses.
--Faster.
--Dash attack has switched back to the Burning ability, but it no longer runs off edges.
--Can now Inhale projectiles to heal (or even spit some back out as stars).
--Copy abilities are 20% stronger than the character copied.
--The probability of losing a Copy ability when hit is now the same as the % damage taken, with the exception of the first 20 seconds after gaining the ability, where it can only be lost by dying.
--Stone has super armor on startup.

META KNIGHT
--Unlocks: #38 in Vs, #4 in Link's Classic line (after K. Rool, Ice Climbers, & Simon), or in the Mysterious Dimension in the Dark Realm of WoL.
--Faster.
--Mach Tornado has more mobility.
--New FS: Darkness Illusion (source: Kirby Star Allies)

KING DEDEDE
--Unlocks: #30 in Vs, #4 in DK's Classic line (after Bowser, Red, & Rosaluma), or in Gourmet Race in the Light Realm of WoL.
--Faster & heavier.
--Inhale can be used as a reflector, or to speed up Gordos.
--Jet Hammer breaks shields at full charge.
--New FS: Dede-Rush (source: Super Star Ultra)

DK CHARACTERS

DONKEY KONG
--Faster & heavier.
--Always stands in 3/4 pose to camera, like in DKC games.
--Charge Shot is now chargeable in the air.
--Throws are no longer weight-dependent.
--New down cargo throw.
--Giant Punch charges faster & no longer triggers helpless fall in the air.
--Headbutt has super armor.
--New FS: Jungle Rush (source: Jungle Beat)

DIDDY KONG
--Unlocks: #37 in Vs, #7 in DK's Classic line (after Bowser, Red, Rosaluma, Dedede, Sheik, & Greninja), or in DK Island in the Light Realm of WoL.
--Faster & lighter.
--Always stands in 3/4 pose to camera, like in DKC games.
--Peanut Popgun now has a melee hitbox, so with his pistols out, he's one cool Kong.
--Rocketbarrel Boost gains more distance, so he flies real high with his jetpack on.
--New FS: Hyper Rocketbarrel (source: DK64)

Is it just me, or was almost everyone made faster in Ultimate?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
