Based on everything said in this thread, a rating between 50-50 and 60-40 is probably best.
I personally don't agree with it (well, the 60-40 I do), but that's besides the point.

Falco has:

-Lasers that can still disrupt us and set up combos, especially when we are in the air.
-A great jab.
-A good grab game which can set up for things, despite not CGing.
-Phantasm, that allows you to get away quickly, and stay out of range.
-Good disjoincts in general.
-A very good hyphen smash.



Kirby has:

-The tools to generally avoid lasers.
-The ability to take the lasers and camp you harder.
-The ability to rack up damage on you very fast due to your weight and our comboable moves.
-The ability to kill early if we can land a kill move.
-Follow ups to just about everything that hits.
-The tools to gimp your sub-par recovery.
-Inhale Break footstools, if we can manage to get it off... (Very rare)
-Better stages in general.



Essentially, Falco has to play a "Don't get hit" game, though with his specials and Kirby's lack of speed, this is not unfeasible, and you can avoid getting comboed while dealing damage, though the match will be very boring. You can also combo us fairly well.
All in all not unwinnable by any stretch, but Kirby does have an advantage IMO.
Basically, Kirby=Anti falco.
