Kirby Fighters Deluxe - programmer talks about perfect guard technique

This time, Sho Tajima, one of the programmers, will talk about the perfect guard technique in Kirby Fighters Deluxe.

"Hello there. When you fight against other Kirbys, you can protect yourself from all damage by guarding. However, when you block bosses' attacks by guarding, you'll still receive a little bit of damage.

That is, unless you guard just before an attack lands, in which case you'll do a perfect guard. This will protect you from receiving any damage, even in the case of strong boss attacks.

To do this successfully, you will have to watch the boss’s attacks closely. Once you can predict what attack is coming and when, you'll know just the right time to guard. But it's also important to recognise if an attack is too difficult to judge the timing for. Make things easy on yourself, and dodge such attacks instead!

It can be a challenge to get the timing right, but when you do properly predict an enemy's attack and perform a successful perfect guard, it will give you a great feeling of satisfaction.

If you are aiming to improve your finish times or just to fight with style, you should definitely give this a shot!"

Perfect guard sounds like a pretty challenging technique, but it must feel great when you pull it off. I hope you'll all give it a go!
