It's really sad and campy. Kirby isn't very good at invading our space, and we excel at keeping that space with tilts and waddles. We win by racking up stray hits until we eventually catch them offstage with few jumps left or just straight KO them at like 180%. But if we don't play it really...

roll, grab, and wavedash away or if they do something really punishable, dair OOS we have pretty bad OOS options though

Falco's the secondary I decided on. He covers all of our bad matchups except maybe Squirtle, and he loves most of the stages we hate. Falcon, Marth, Fox, and Gdubs probably work well too.

Hey, I know this thread has been dead for a while, but I was looking to see if anyone had Kirby MU experience to tell me how to improve my follow-ups in this matchup. http://www.twitch.tv/umdsmash/v/28274760 (My game starts around 35:30) It wasn't a paid tourney, so GL and I weren't taking it...

Hey, @Ripple, do you think it's worth the effort to try and put together some kind of write-up on optimal follow-ups on different weight/fallspeed classes across a number of percent ranges? I think it'd be a worthwhile community effort that could really help a lot of people's punish game.

So, guys, fox this week?

Thank you based ripple

I dunno. The light armor doesn't really matter much. I've never used the charged, armored version for anything outside of super hard reads. I wonder if it could tank a hit from someone's recovery or getup attack and then trade for the kill.

Some projectiles and jabs.

So to add to what ripple said about down-b, I think it's not useful in most situations, but I've gotten some mileage out of its boost with light hitbox, which can occasionally be used as a jank recovery mixup after throwing out a waddle above stage. Other than that, I'd say you can get good...

I actually really want to hear ripple's opinion on this one, because I've seen him say that it's a favorable matchup for us before, but if the sheik player is using all of their tools, I don't see how that happens. One thing that I have to stress is our vulnerability to combos and gimps in this...

I think we should start off with the match ups we face the most in the meta, and then move on to the rarer, more MU-knowledge-heavy characters. So start off with Fox, Sheik, Marth, Falcon, etc.

Air camp with platforms and waddles (it's especially important to toss waddles to block projectiles in this match-up) and come down vertically/diagonally with mix-ups and spaced aerials. Your goal should ultimately be to confirm off of a falling nair or dair into another aerial, aerial command...

He's still totally doable in singles as long as you don't run into PR members until finals. In other words, as long as you don't play anyone who's as good or better than you.
