Kirby Star Allies: Soul Melter EX: Wester (Whip) in 13:57.25

Alright, let's get cracking! My favorite ability! And Wester is my favorite helper! Whip is very strong for a regular ability, especially going solo as an ability that can receive elements. 100-Whip Dash is, pun intended, cracked. Four hits of very good damage and very high hitstun. Its range is deceptive and it offers rather generous invincibility too. If 100-Whip Dash doesn't quite reach, Ceiling Strike is your best damaging option for high up enemies, though there are situations where Whip Tornado is preferable. Whip's command grabs also do massive amounts of damage. Whip is extremely flexible and easy to use for a regular ability, and there's no boss it struggles with. It adapts to RNG very well, can be beastly against bosses with multiple hurtboxes, and has viable options for the air if its grounded options do not reach. I lost some time out of safety or just rust. Vividria went quite poorly because I can't really figure the right way to fight her. Each of the individual Mages also could have been a bit better. The biggest lost was probably against the Mages together. I have been trying to make a video for a while so I settled for a slower fight against them if it meant I would not get severely punished. Whip can beat the Mages about 10 seconds faster if you play risky because 100-Whip Dash is just that nuts. My record is 13:36.15 (@chillyice.bsky.social) and Whip/Wester's record is 13:18.39, held by あおさぎのひ (@aosagikirby.bsky.social).
