Those are good ideas, so here’s my two cents on them. Meta Knight isn’t really very fast in midair either, so I feel like it would be fine for Kirby to be a bit faster. And let’s face it, Jigg’s toes are thoroughly stepped upon already to the point where Jiggs just needs buffs to not be...

Kirby definitely has a better combo game than Doc; Doc’s combo game isn’t all that great from what I know. He kinda just has some bair and uair stuff out of dthrow (then again I don’t know Doc very well, so please correct me if I’m wrong). Kirby has his amazing utilt and good dair to set up...

While I think your change is reasonable, it’s certainly still possible to get hit during an inhale as Kirby (happens to me a little too often). I believe the real problem stems from the fact that most of inhale is a windbox, with a just-a-little-too-small grabbox near the mouth. A change I would...

So, do you not want Kirby to be useful or something? I mean, he’s no powerhouse in this game even if your combos are optimal. The reason Kirby is low tier is because his weaknesses are too big, not because he’s hard to play right (he isn’t). The problems lie in that he can’t be a devastating...

Well, I hate to break it to you, but making Kirby focus on star spit getup reads really does fundamentally stray from Kirby. Getup reads and focusing on untechable situations is pretty hard to do, and Kirby is, in every principle, about being simple. It doesn’t stop him from being fun (he’s...

I mean, if a character doesn’t feel like that character should, why don’t you just replace them with someone else with the same moveset? Sticking to source material and trying to make beloved, well established characters feel like just that instead of vessels for movesets is most important...

Look, I think you missed my point that Kirby is supposed to be pretty surface level. Kirby’s Dream Land, as well as every Kirby game, was designed to be accessible for newcomers with challenges for the more experienced players too. Kirby is really good for that right now, with an easy to...

Here’s the thing; I never said there wasn’t a way to play around Bowser’s grab, but the fact that Bowser would be nothing without it is the problem. The whole game becomes about one option; for Bowser he must focus on getting it, and for the opponent he must focus on avoiding it. If I were to...

The thing is, Kirby isn’t much of a grappler and he doesn’t need to use inhale very frequently. Kirby’s base kit is quite different in playstyle than Luigi’s. Kirby doesn’t centralize around grab or inhale like Luigi does and, frankly, shouldn’t, because Kirby has a different playstyle that I...

I actually agree that everyone should at least have something for everything, but top tiers have more than just something for everything; they have plenty for everything. A Kirby main knows what it feels like to be helpless, believe me, so there should be weaknesses without a total lack of an...

I don’t think I’d enjoy that Kirby as much. Kirby’s bait and punish style is really fun and works pretty well right now, but he just needs certain buffs to improve accessibilty to his options. His moves are almost all great, and those that aren’t don’t need much to be great. He just needs a few...

Excuse me, I find mid tiers to be infinitely more interesting than top tiers. Top tiers just have tools that step on the competition in unfair ways such as Witch Time and Cloud’s autocancels and frame data in general. Mid and low tiers are the most interesting because they do have exploitable...

I’m absolutely positive Kirby doesn’t need a combo breaker, and he has a pretty good time landing too. He really doesn’t need any fthrow changes, because it works for a while on most of the cast and he has plenty of stuff for higher percents. He also doesn’t need kill confirm DI mixups because...

Believe it or not, Kirby has many inconsistencies airspeed wouldn’t fix. I agree that his base moveset is pretty good as is (especially tilts) but most of what’s needed are small tweaks to improve combo consistency against all characters, which would fix his wacky matchup spread.
