    Kirby’s (probably) not the worst in the game anymore but he’s still kinda bad tbh. The buffs helped with his struggle to kill, but he still isn’t good with approaching, stone still doesn’t work correctly on shield, down tilt barely trips(seriously I still think the move should have a 50/50 trip chance) and they didn’t help with many of his bad MUs.

    :(

    I've never believed Kirby to be the worst in Ultimate. I still believe Mac will always be the worst due to fundamentally flawed character design. Though I don't agree on 50/50 trip chance as that's just a bit too good for any character to have that high of a trip chance. As for bad match ups, not many things for any character will change their bad match ups. Not without significant changes to the characters involved. Sadly not how balancing works in general. It can HELP the match ups a little but rarely will it sway match ups considerably.

    Mac's design hurt him so much not even a full rework could save him tbh.

    Actually, now that he can fight on platforms against half the cast, Seagull Joe now claims Kirby +1’s Palutena rather than go even/slightly win.
    I firmly believe any -1/-2 matchups turned to -0.8/-1.8 - the buffs really help even though the core of issues are still there. He’s much better, definitely not the absolute worst in the game and I believe him to be the absolute best low tier or absolute worst mid tier. He has relevant matchups and a good number of his “bad matchups” probably aren’t that awful (Wolf, Greninja, Wario are likely -1). Also I think we counter Terry lol.

    Even if stone were to be buffed, outside of extreme reads and edgeguarding it wouldn’t be much because of its high startup/endlag. His only problem with approaching is against spam-happy people/Game and Watch (Link, Snake, Samus) and swordies aren’t that bad since they don’t have anything to zone him out with (which is why Brother Quang beat Mr E 2-1 all Kirby).

    I’m still working on it. I actually got onto DKwill’s stream once for viewer battles and he gave me decent advice.

    I’ll probably keep Kirby in my back pocket in case he gets buffs
    boysilver400
    Patch 6.0 wishes:

    Kirby buffs and fixes, Jigglypuff rest buff, rockcrocking removed, Kirby buffs, Snake nerfs, Waft, Flip Kick, Palu Nair, Arsene/Rebels guard getting toned down. Kirby buffs, any move that doesn’t work to get fixed, shields getting fixed, and....oh yeah, BUFF KIRBY PLEASE.

    What I think will actually happen:

    Kirby down tilt gets nerfed and he gets nothing else, Little Mac gets a run speed nerf, Palu down tilt buff while her nair is untouched Pikachu nair gets buffed for no reason, Flip Kick gets untouched, Snake gets an air speed buff because “hIs dISaDvANtAgE iS bAD”, Inkling gets more KBG on Up air because “sHE cAn”T kILl”, Dedede’s Dash attack gets nerfed, and Olimar’s sheild will become even smaller.

    I thought you took a break from Ultimate
    No seriously, I think it's wearing you down
    Don't think about the competitive Kirby, think of Kirby outside of Smash
    Not the low-tier puffball, but a someone when you can vent your thoughts. Where you can share happiness together.

    Seriously the competitive side has influenced you too much so take a break from it, don't think too much on this stuff

    If you're going about ******** why your main is not so good, why not try something else? Or try another character?

    I "main" Sheik in Ultimate but I rarely bust her out in competitive matches. Even if my style syncs with the character, this isn't her game, so I stayed true to my swordies.

    I don’t main Kirby anymore but I still wish he was good.

    I main Roy now but I’m not perfect with him
    boysilver400
    There really is no character in ult that has everything I want
    Kirby is terrible
    Robs disadvantage is too bad
    Chorys and Wolfs recovery is awful
    Palu is too flowchart for me
    Mario doesn’t have enough range
    I really just don’t like Lucina
    Snake, Peach, Fox and Joker have too high skill caps

    I have no one to run to.

    I mostly said this because I was and still am tight after losing to one earlier but I feel you just have to play so campy against her, even with her strings not being as good, although the Bayo I played against in an arena made her seem like she was still top tier. And I really don’t like having to camp.

    I’m genuinely considering deleting ultimate until Kirby gets fixed and buffed. I keep losing. Nothing I’m doing is working, this game is eating up my psyche, and it’s just a distraction when I could and should be doing better things. I will never improve until Kirby gets better. I’m hopeless trash.

    Brawl and 64 are still fun
    SSF2 are also fun.
    Ultimate is stressing you too much. Delete it and don’t come back from it for a month.

    Try avoiding anything smash-related in that period of time.

    Casual play > competitive play. Competitive aspects make things less fun. Tournaments are just one piece of pepperoni to the entire pizza of Smash Bros. WoL is a blast. Home run contest. Stage builder. All fun.

    Maybe try SSF2? It’s really fun and online play is really fun

    Kirby’s down tilt should have a higher trip chance

    I don’t care how stupid this buff request sounds. This move almost never trips when I used it. I always had to spam it like 3-4 times and it still wouldn’t trip.
    boysilver400
    Serious question. Is there any character that has all of a good disadvantage, good recovery, good range, non flowcharty, fast, viable and easy to use?

    The character has to fit every single one of these.
    boysilver400
    Seeing Kirby get so close but yet fail to get a breakout performance while other perceived low tiers are genuinely enrages me and it’s why I think he’s bottom 1. If he gets the buffs and fixes he actually ****ing needs he can be...more successful than what he is. No more of this QoL bull****. Kirby needs help NOW. K Rool needs help NOW. There needs to be actual changes in patches from now on.
    D
    Deleted member
    Wanna bet he’ll get a breakout within this year w/o patches? I want fixes not buffs. Buffs generally boost his stats. The fixes are as easy as 123.
    I mean it’s disheartening to see stuff like this. Komota 2-1 Jumpsteady and almost didn’t get a breakout performance at all.
    K. Rool got 17th at Thunder Smash 3 (it’s not that bad at all).

    IDK he has one of the smallest playerbases in all of smash due to his low popularity as a character in general. A “cutie” character that doesn’t seem to fit in the environment of Smash.

    Fixes address his issues (minor or major) while buffs only increase his, say, traction by x. Even if he has the buffed power of someone like Link it’s not enough to offset his issues.

    I wouldn't put it like that. You're 'garbage' with swordies because you're used to Kirby. It'll take time to adjust to a sword character and getting to the point where you know their limits to make better and more calculated plays. Yeah, their recovery isn't great but the characters are clearly good. You just gotta retrain your brain from pink puff boy to anime sword boy.

    If you like playing Kirby the most, I'd recommend playing him until you improve your fundamentals. People make a big deal over tier lists, but in reality the gap between characters is much smaller than the gap between players. There isn't that much of a difference between mid and high tier or even low and high tier. That gap will only matter between players of an equal skill level and really only at the very top. Your fundamentals are the most important thing by a mile, so don't worry about your character until you reach a level that you truly feel your character is holding you back( if you ever feel like that).

    If you don't actually want to play Kirby anymore, then you need to understand that it will take longer than a few days to get up to snuff. You're essentially relearning how to fight the rest of the cast all over again, so it will take a while to get as good as a character you've been playing for a long time.

    I'm dumb so I have to ask, what do the numbers on shield mean, like how Roy's Up air is -4/-5 on shield
    R-senpai
    R-senpai
    I'm pretty sure it's how safe it is on shield
    S
    StoicPhantom
    How much frame advantage you have. The different numbers depend on the move, but it's usually sour-spot/sweet-spot or vice versa. So Roy's Up-air being -4/-5, means hitting up close for the sweet-spot is -4 frames of advantage on shield and spacing far with the sour-spot is -5 frames of advantage. Some moves are early/late like Sheik's Bair, which is -4/-4 and means whether you hit instantly with Sheik's Bair(strong hit) or late(weak hit). The / is to differentiate different hitboxs of the same move, given they will usually have different frame advantage.

    So Roy's close Up-air being -4 means the defender(shield) has +4 frames where they can act before you can. Given shield dropping takes 11 frames, the defender would not be able to punish with a move that isn't jump canceled, because adding the shield drop penalty to the -4 advantage ultimately puts YOUR frame advantage at 7. You could then shield or interrupt with a Jab or something if they try to attack. Even if they jump cancel with a jump or Up-B out of shield, that's still a frame 3 jumpsquat + aerial and few characters have an Up-B quicker than 4 frames. So a move is -4 is safe on shield in most cases.

    Parries are an exception, since as far as I know adds 14 frames of advantage for the defender(no shield drop penalty). So -4 would become -18, meaning Roy's Up-air wouldn't be safe. There are other exceptions such as stale moves and "meaty" hits(https://twitter.com/MetalMusicMan_/status/1149794211732082688), but that's the gist of it.

    I’ve been glooming and dooming over Ultimate a lot but I really feel hopeless in this game. I feel like I have no character to run to, I don’t really ha ve anyone to practice with accept for going to multi open arena streams which helps, but the waits tend to be long and that lags too sometimes. My mentality in general is terrible, I tilt way too easily; simply getting a 2 stock game on QP is enough to make me want to give up and yeet my controller when I haven’t even started the battle yet...

    I want to go to offline tournaments, but I have no one that I can confidently say that I main at the moment. I’ve tried everyone. Kirby is still my best character by far but I refuse to solo main him until he gets more than pointless QoL buffs. I’m not sure if I want to drop him entirely but I need a secondary, co-main, or a new main entirely.

    ...What should I do...? I need help

    Waking up at 6 am to go to school every week is not healthy for me at all. I always feel upset and unmotivated for no reason during the school year. I have no motivation to really do anything at the moment. Not to try and improve at smash(although that doesn't just have to do with my tiredness), not to write a fanfic I'm writing, not to do homework, I just feel empty.

    On top of that, almost every morning I wake up, I get the sniffles and it feels like a could have a cold, but as the day goes on, it just goes away. This might just be allergy season, but the fact that this is only a morning issue is strange.

    At least I'm a senior, though. I'm ready for this hellish cycle to be over.

    That same **** happened to me for the past few school years. I had to wake up at 6:45 every morning, and I even had the mild allergies that went away after 10 minutes. Senior year was the worst, because I was almost an hour away from school every other week, and I had to wake up at 6:25. Waking up was also hell on earth because I got a headache from getting up that early. Good thing I'm in college now and my schedule is much more reasonable.

    Try to at least get 8 hours of sleep, even if it does mean having to go to sleep at like 10 (I know, it sucks). The bright side, you have the weekend to make up for that... sleep is very underrated. A lot of people think they can get by with below the usual recommendation, but it's far more than just being able to stay awake. Energy has at least half to do with how you actually feel, which includes the way your hormones behave. Staying hydrated helps.

    I probably used to sleep around 6-7 hours during my school days, and I have to wonder if that was half the reason I felt most of the time.
