I'm writing a Kirby fanfic, and I'm getting into my first ever fight scene. That I've ever writen. And I'm dreading that it will be an utter failure.
Any ideas, hints, or something like that you guys want to throw at me?

Just read and/or study others' stories. Youtube some of Kirby's episodes where he battles stuff to get an idea or feeling of things for your own fic. If there's a specific battle style/stance that you need to focus on, google dat.

Pretty standard stuff. Don't worry if it's too awkward the first time. It'll happen to everyone.

It's from my experience that fight scenes can take a very negative turn very quickly. Advice would be to first define what kind of fight you have and what type of piece you're writing - Kirby? Then I would assume that things would comic and avoiding gore - which makes it a bit easier.

Don't get to jackie chan or detail by detail. That drags the paragraphs on and ends up overly confusing and chunky. Use simplistic devises of "he countered" or words like "sidestepped" opposed to: "moving his left hand to catch Metaknight's blade three inches from his eye, kirby spun a 180 to face backwards before taking his feet to the adjacent wall and push off, crashing both warriors to the behind fire."

It really goes down to style though. Stay easy and comic.

I suggest going into detail and describing the attacks and injuries. And don't worry if it doesn't turn out that well, it was your first try. My didn't turn out the best but I got better with practice.
