bair = sex kick?

[Peaches]

I dunno if this actually deserves a thread ( in fac t it probably doesn't lol)
but anyways, I was messing around with Kirby the other day and I realized almost all of his aerials suck. The nair usually hits the oppenent away and lets you get comboed, the fair usually does the same, and the dair is quite laggy.

However, I noticed the uair is a good juggler, and bair can be used as a sex kick like move. It has good range and lasts quite a while. bair can also be used for te ever so famous wall of pain (except it kinda sucks a lot with Kirby, thus it is ually dubbed the crap of pain, or the wall of almost pain, etc.)

But I pretty much see bair as the best move to advance with, although not as long lasting as a sex kick usually is it packs quite a pucnh for Kirby. Not too mention the entire reason for me making the thread was that I've mainly heard 2 Kirby strategies.
1. crouch cancel whoring
2. suicide

(I can't believe i've been so pissed at Kirby all these years that Melee has been out because he isn't a god like in the last one. I think he's more fun now :D)

Kirby's airiels are great. He has briliant air game but not as good as the best few. His bair has is sex kick like but since it isn't a neutral air, I don't think it is an actual sex kick.

His up air has a huge amount of knockback, it's fast and has descent range.

His back air has good range, good power and good knockback. A very good move.

His forward air kicks out on landing which hinders sheild grabbing and the last hit knocks back a long way. The first two hits can be used to combo into other aireils.

Down air is a spiking drill kick, like fair, Kirby kicks on landing. It's powerful and is good for combos and off the stage it spikes. I don't know but I think it might be the longest lasting spike in the game, correct me if I'm wrong. Falco's down air is worse in my version, the PAL version, of the game.

I don't like nair so I don't use it.

Kirby has a great air game and using it is one of his best strategies. I play a defensive game but, excluding nair, all Kirby's airiels are very important for my game. Fair, dair and bair are all good for damaging and edgeguarding. Uair is great for knocking off.

i want to see someone juggle with up ar...it knocks them like, über far, and not up wards.....O.o

and yeah, his dair spike, hit with first hit, fast fall them far under the stage. return, taunt. the Recipe for Pwning.

bair pwns big time. a little like Puffs fair, except better.

fair can combo!!!!!

nair suck.

A sex-kick doesn't necessarily have to be a character's neutral aerial. Mr. G&W has a sex-chair, his forward tilt.

All of Kirby's aerials are decent cept nair.

Bair is his best one in my opinion. Good damage and knockback when the move is 1st performed. Great for edgeguarding as well.

Dair is good for comboing. Dair-Dtilt. If the last hit of Dair hits you may even fit a foward smash. Dair is pretty good for edgeguarding as well.

Fair is good as well, if you can short hop with it frequently which increases the chance of hitting with all 3 hits.

Uair has excellent knockback. Too bad it has bad wind up time, but it's still a good move to use now and then.

Dont use Nair

[g-regulate]

all of kirbys air attacks are used for different purposes, i repeat, ALL.

bair- basic good attack, used best for just goin right at someone, and great out of the shield

fair- good from off the edge, gotta get the timing on the fast fall for it to be effective, land the third kick for good knockback

uair- fast, strong, nasty KO move...no further explanation

nair- quick, stuns long enough for an lcanceled tilt, or dodge

dair- time the fastfall, and it stuns for more than enough time for a tilt, grab, (hammer?) also a nasty, nasty spike with good priority

the only problem is they really have to be executed perfectly, which is a ***** and thats why he sucks, but i still love him

[quickman_Zero]

Kirby's air moves don't have to be executed better than any other characters as far as I can tell. In fact he can get away with whiffing one better than most as his moves have less lag than most of the cast. That means he can crouch (lowest in the game), block, roll or attack quicker than almost anyone else.

First of all, what the hizzy is a sex kick? I'm lost but anyway. I think the Kirbmeisters aerials are pimpalicious. :D

[quickman_Zero]

A sex kick is an attack (usually a neutral aeriel) which damages for a few moments after the attack animation. The best example is probably Samus' neutral air. Most sex kicks do slightly less damage if you hit when the animation is finished than when you hit when the character is actually moving but Dr. Mario's is the other way round.
