Yeah, its Kirby:

He'll have the same custom BBTag esque gameplay system as the rest of my characters. As you can see in the screenshot, I'm using seku's "D4" sprites, however they have been modified to have proper indexing so Kirby can have more than just one palette. Some of the sprites have also been edited to make him a little more expressive.
What makes this character really special is the fact that he can get copy abilities from his opponents. Similarly to how most of the Blazblue characters have their drive moves mapped to B, such is the case for Kirby's inhaling and copy abilities. The rest of his moveset mostly consists of his moves from Super Smash Bros.
Here are some clips of him in action:

Since Kirby is going to be able to get copy abilities from his opponents, I need to do some brain storming on who gives what copy ability, and the answer isn't always obvious. I'v already come with a few lists of who gives what for the playable characters in BBtag as well as those in the games associated with it. Keep in mind that the copy abilities are limited to what I can do with the sprites. While it would make more sense for Mika Returna to give the jet ability, that is unfortunately not something that I can recreate with the sprites that I have. Anyway, here are the lists:

Do you think there any characters that should give a different ability than the ones I have listed? Please let me know.
I'm going to come up with more lists for other games as well, so stay tuned for that.
Also, if you would like to have your character or someone else's character be compatible with Kirby, then give the character's name in their def file (Not the display name) and what copy ability they should give. The available copy abilities are Fighter, Sword, Cutter, Fire, Ice, Plasma, Beam, Bomb, Hammer, Mirror, Suplex, Yo-yo, Needle, Spear, and Ninja.
Any incompatible characters will give Kirby the fighter ability by default.
