i don't want to offend you but you're being a bit lazy.
allmost all your attacks are derivated from the same attack.
he just pops cars and...that's all.
if you're making a gbc char moveset,try using diferent characters.
he could pop up vaati,link,pikachu,meta knight,sonic,megaman...
there's a lot of possibilities.
make him a bit more funny.

Leapfrogging of of this post and C2B's, I think you should probably take a break from spriting the character and revisit the drawing board to think up of cooler attacks for Quirby to have. His current attacks currently have no range and...generally seem uninspired.
Actually, you may want to hit the drawing board for a lot.

Out of curiosity (and not intending to be a jerk) have you ever played a fighting game besides Smash Bros? You may want to take a few days and plop down in front of a TV with one, (actually, just look up tournament play vids of Marvel VS Capcom or Street Fighter 4) and pay careful attention to character's attack reach, their special attacks, and their super moves.
There's plenty you can do with Kirby (and Quirby) to give him a more varied, richer moveset.

But before you do that, think about fighting games and try to figure out what Quirby's role is in the game.
For instance, looking at Street Fighter 4, characters like Cammy and Ibuki play an extremely offensive melee game by assaulting the opponent with quick attacks and little chance of error (within the competitive scene, they're referred to as "rushdown" characters). Then there's characters like Zangief, T-Hawk or Dhalsim that play more defensively and wait for overaggressive players to mess up and then punish them accordingly.

Without taking the "science" into it, I can already think of alternative attacks that Quirby can use.

- Kirby, as a character has really big feet. Quirby, literally being Kirby with a Mario hat, should be well capable of that, too. Kirby's forward-A in SSB (not the Smash attack, just holding the direction) has him do a roundhouse kick with decent range.
That alone gives Quirby a little more of a change with pokes.

This entire guide

Mighty Jetters' character Bombergirl is a perfect example of this in action. She's pretty stubby all-considering but with action 'pop', the attacks extend somewhat further allowing her a few extra pixels for...uh, hitting.

- I'm pretty sure Quirby can do more than hammerspace Micro Machine cars from his hands...like, I'm pretty sure they could trip him and flip around in midair to serve as a large, quick projectile

- On the subject of hammerspacing sprites out of his hand, why not just have Quirby's hammerspaced Mario jump out of his hand? If the attack's done at point-blank range, both Quirby's punch and Mario's jump would connect, making it a good way to end a combo!

- Quirby's Moltres attack would actually make a good Gognio move. Moltres can summon a lot of fire. A really lot of fire. But I just read about it on the Internet, so I'm pretty sure he could summon a lot of fire and fly around on Moltres' back.



Though, given the nature of VGR, I'd try to see if you could make minimal use of existing game sprites and create your own (i.e. turn Mario into a derpy Super Jumping Friend, Moltres into Sacred Flaming Bird)
