Bonus Poll - Favorite Classic Main Series Kirby Game






Welcome to the conclusion of Save my Kirby Copy Ability.

It was a close match, put ultimately Wing pulled through to take the wing-I mean win!

Results:
[9] Mirror - PrinceOfKoopas, TheArkOfTurus, Shonen_Bat, Kamekguy, SockoressKnight, hylianknight3, Fiop, Janus5k, Hbthebattle
[10] Wing - hombad46, TotallyNotMI, Johnbobb, red13n, Isquen, WhiteLens, pjbasis, Robazoid, junk_funk, slykirby

2nd: Mirror

Mirror is an ability that debuted in Super Star.

This is the closest thing Kirby can to a cloning ability. With it, Kirby can form copies of himself for a few short seconds for a wider range of attack. He can also reflect back projectiles coming his way.

After a 20 year absence, it returned in Planet Robobot alongside Jet.

That wouldve been it for Mirror had it not been for the power of Mirror fans, as Mirror won round 1 of the 25th Anniversary copy ability poll and was added to Kirby Battle Royale as a playable ability due to this win. (For those wondering, Sleep won round 2. Yes, it was added as a useable ability there too.)

1st: Wing

Wing is an ability that debuted in Super Star.

With it, Kirby now has feathers, and instead of hovering like he normally does, he can flap his wings. The default B move is the weak, short ranged feather gun, but Kirby also has devastating dives and blows to unleash upon any enemy that dares to try and ruin his flight.

It returned in Return to Dream Land. It was removed in Planet Robobot, but was added back in Star Allies, meaning its in 3 of the 4 games.

And that concludes the ability descriptions! I wouldve loved it if Mirror won since its my second-favorite ability(only behind Hi-Jump), but its really cool how Wing Kirby proved that he can take to the stars! Congratulations on your win!

Now, as for my look back on this competition This was my first Save My, so I made a lot of mistakes. But something I did manage to accomplish was that I pulled through and completed all 55 rounds. I have a huge problem with starting things and never finishing them, so Im proud of that.

Meanwhile, on the poll, March 1st received the majority of the vote so thats when Save my Smash Assist Trophy will start its first round. Looks like this competition will be held across the Spring months, a time of warmer weather and less stress.

Lastly, I have a few optional questions to leave out on.

  1. How did your favorite ability place?
  2. What could I have done to improve the Save My?
  3. Will you be participating in Save my Smash Assist Trophy?
  4. If yes, then who are you looking forward to saving?


This was fun! But with that, everything is over. Save my Smash Assist Trophy will begin on March 1st. (Assuming I dont forget, because I tend to forget a lot of things real easily.)

Voted 64 since I've only played Super Star Ultra, not the original

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Oh, and I forgot to mention this in the original post, but special thanks to hylianknight3 and hombad46 for keeping track of saves when I was absent, particularly in the earlier rounds. And an additional thanks to UnderUrMattress, as their Save My was the inspiration for this one.

1. First! I've been with Wing since the start, though Mirror is very cool too.

2. Set a static time of day for the next vote, though this could more have been a problem on my end for missing it if there was one.

3. If I see it, yes!

4. Rathalos, probably, but maybe when I see the full list something will jog my memory. I do know my *least* favorite is the damn Nintendog.

How did your favorite ability place?
Mirror IS my number one favourite Copy Ability. But others include Wing, Tornado, Cleaning, Parasol, Suplex, and Doctor. So Cleaning was my first favourite to lose.
What could I have done to improve the Save My?
Consistent start times.
Will you be participating in Save my Smash Assist Trophy?
Sure!
If yes, then who are you looking forward to saving?
The Black Knight!

I'm glad I inspired you. Hope you had fun and I'm pumped for the next one. It seems like your time zone isn't aligned with many people here so I'd recommend finding a co-host. Having hombad help me out made my competition 100x easier.

  1. How did your favorite ability place? Spider in 38th is the first one I was really pulling for, but if I'm playing I'm most likely to go for UFO (if possible), wheel, artist and hammer.
  2. What could I have done to improve the Save My? I've got no complaints
  3. Will you be participating in Save my Smash Assist Trophy? Yes, in the same extent that I did here probably, so probably saving my favorite and then accidentally letting all the others I like die because I forget to come back
  4. If yes, then who are you looking forward to saving? Chef Kawasaki, Waluigi (although I doubt he needs the support), Andross, Dr. Kawashima, Mr. Resetti, Shadow, Nightmare...


I do have a question about that one though. Will it include ALL assist trophies from Brawl onward, or just the ones in SSBU? And if it does include all, will it still include Little Mac, Dark Samus and Isabelle?

1. How did your favorite ability place?
  • Yo-Yo is my actual favorite ability, so it coming in 3rd is really good. Smash Bros was more backed out of novelty since it seemed like Yo-Yo was always getting reliably saved, but I still like the ability itself a lot.
2. What could I have done to improve the Save My?
  • There are a few things I could say about this, first is that you don't need to feel compelled to put out a new topic right after one ends. It's good to have some break in-between rounds to avoid the contest fatigue for both you the host and the participants.
  • The other thing is have the final round not be a first to X amount of saves. The problem with it is that it gives people that come to the board somewhat late no say at all in the outcome and only those that happen to be on the board around the time when the final round goes up decide the winner of the entire contest. That's why typically final round in Save My Contests is whoever has the highest amount of saves in a 24-hour period. The one downside to that is that yes, you typically will get people who never participated in the contest before (but are regulars to the board) suddenly showing up for the final round, but that's something you just can't avoid. The first to 10 was probably ok for something niche like Kirby abilities, but for something with more wide-appeal like Smash Assist Trophies, I think a 24-hour final round would be more fitting.
3. Will you be participating in Save my Smash Assist Trophy?
  • If I see the topics and remember to make a save, yes I will.
4. If yes, then who are you looking forward to saving?
  • There's a lot I could back here. Might be prioritizing Ghirahim and Nikki.


Just a little warning about Smash Assist Trophies, you could be seeing dead periods early in the contest because there are lot of unknowns in there from really obscure stuff (and the fact that most people play with items off and may not even remember what some of the assist trophies even did). So you may want to consider eliminating the last two remaining in the early rounds to get through them quicker.

Cut Brawl and 4 assist trophies will be included. Not sure about those three characters but theyll most likely be included for completionists sake.

Ill try to have gaps in between rounds. Ill also try not to start the 2 save portion too early this time as that was a big problem with the Kirby competition. I feel like we might get a bigger audience this time though since more people have played Smash than Kirby. Im a little less knowledgeable on Smash though, so I wont be able to make detailed descriptions or anything like what I did with the Kirby Save My.

Almost definitely, if the Save My Smash Ultimate Character contest that was held here recently is anything to compare to
