Okay, I have a few questions, I'm pretty new to Kirby, but I'm pretty good with Fox, my favorite thing to do is spike my enemies, so meh, I figured Kirby would be my favorite 2ndary. :D.

1.) How do you guys get onto the ledge so easily? It looks like you guys just roll to the ledge, but I can't do that. :cry: (I'm looking at 'The Kirby Cheat,' by the way. ^^)

2.) How do you guys judge how far to jump? @_@; I've been trying to spike people with D-Air and B-Air, but it's hard to spike with kirby's irregular jump pattern, the main problem is, he goes verticle, not horizontal. >_<;

3.) Is there a way to shorten Dashing-A(Fireball)? (-,-') I honestly dislike that move... I'm used to a good Dashing-A like Fox's, but the fireball seems weak and unneeded... It mainly just throws me off.

4.) What exactly *is* kirby made of? xD

I'm onfused, you mean standing on the very tip of the edge? or getting up? It may be a wavedash, but then again, Omni is a pro, so...

2.) How do you guys judge how far to jump? @_@; I've been trying to spike people with D-Air and B-Air, but it's hard to spike with kirby's irregular jump pattern, the main problem is, he goes verticle, not horizontal. >_<;

First, B-air can't spike. Second, you can jump and immediatly mash c-down for a Dair. Vertical movement is needed at times, besides, FF the Dair to drag them down if you must.

3.) Is there a way to shorten Dashing-A(Fireball)? (-,-') I honestly dislike that move... I'm used to a good Dashing-A like Fox's, but the fireball seems weak and unneeded... It mainly just throws me off.

No, rarely use it, it stanks. use a dash SHFFL or Dash-> Dash cancel-> F/Dsmash or a Running short hopped hammer...


4.) What exactly *is* kirby made of? xD

I mean when he is standing at the edge, knocks someone off, then drops to the ledge(hanging,) so he can drop off and spike them... I don't understand how he just drops to the ledge suddenly. >_<;

First, B-air can't spike.

Eh, I didn't really mean spike spike, but it's a instant KO when the enemy isn't on the stage. :p

Sometimes just normal DI will put you on the edge, other times it's a wave-dash. If you can't wd, just sh backwards.

So just a normal WD will do it? @_@; How come I never knew this... x_x;

yes just wave dash backwards to the ledge... but be careful cause sometimes if u mess up u will suicide >:{

as far as jumping it just takes practice

and for the dash... hmm thats a complicated subject. in most cases it sucks, but against some fast fallers like fox u can repeatedly do it (a pro wouldnt let u get away with this though)

yeah it was the wave dash i remember that video
but yeah i ue kirbys up smash(the back flip) it adds alittle height and is pretty good as for spiking i cant help you :confused:
but yeah i used kirby before but now i use the DOC(i like the cape)

Try to float more than actual jumping to get to your opponent for a spike, if you end up suiciding a lot with the wding to ledge, then just short hop to it. then drop from there and spike.

the prob i USED to have is trying to wd to the edge, but accidently just doing a sideways dodge off the edge, then falling to my doom >:{ also, if ur too close to the edge and u go sideways too much, ull just miss it and fall. if u need to grab the edge quick, then wd, otherwise shorthop to be safe (common sense i hope)
