I fear kirby

[J4pu]

I was playing with my friend for fun and he randomed kirby (he cant play kirby for **** hes a GW main) and I just happened to get falco with random. he sucked me up one time and started imitating my SHDL with kirby, only for kirby it's a SHTL and all 3 of them hit Falco WTF!!!
I am now officially afraid of Kirby mainers

kirbys are pretty good. they are also underated as kirby is fast-ish has, inhale (and kirbycide), a comboing dash attack and good recovery (not the best, but w/e)

I think kirby has a good advantage over falco. Hard to hit with lasers, aerials when kirby is grounded, and kirby has an insane grab game against falco. All that plus sh3l, it gives me a headache. I hate playing kirbys.

Yeah, kirby is hard to hit with lasers but that can be changed. Falco doesn't have to a camper. He can get aggresive and play in the air preferably with nair. That's where kirby will lose. The SHTL can be reflectored and shielded, just learn your opponent. And his grab game is crazy but im sure there's a way around it

Kirby is Falco's only true counter pick. Maybe even Zelda, but I haven't played a good Zelda. I played the best Pikachu in Florida(credit from constant central and south florida tournaments) and beat him in a tournament 2-0. He's really good; it's not a bad counter though.

Kirby is the only character that I see that we should worry about as a counter pick. Snake, MK, and G&W are just good characters.

Kirby's air game is actually where he excels, so if i were u, i wouldn't follow him up there. W e have wuite possibly the greatest combo potential in the game, and falco's heavy a** just makes it that much easier.

DarKirby, Falco isn't heavy. He's of the lighter characters in the game. And who chases Kirby into the air? Let him approach us. We'll stay away from an air-kirby and lasor him relentlessly. Besides, back-air outranges most of Kirby's attacks, so we can still compete in the air.

Kirby's Up-B move is relatively useless against a careful falco who knows how to reflect, spot dodge or shothop. If you fear "SHTL," then don't get swallowed. And Kirby's Down-B, though difficult to punish with physical attacks, is easily punishable with lasor/reflector.

I think Kirby is a difficult matchup, but we're giving Kirby too much credit here. Metaknight is a far more difficult matchup than this. Better ariels...better ground game; better everything.

Play a good kirby.
