    Exactly what is "wrong" with Meta Knight?

    - His range was nerfed, especially his Dsmash. Some animations don't match his hitboxes. - Fair, Bair, and Nair have endlag now, it's harder to edgeguard or approach with. - All of his special moves when whiffed can be punished - No more gliding - General percentage reductions + More KO...

    Fellow Kirbsters, could use some help with approaching heavy defense.

    Duck, Kirby has an insanely low duck that can evade most of Samus attacks and projectiles, her dash attack and grab most importantly. You'll have to learn to keep your ground and not chase a grounded opponent in the air, they WILL roll. It's most learning when to duck or shield while...

    Closing distances.

    Kirby is pretty terrible at approaching opponents while traveling through the air, however his grab game is god-like. Stay on the ground more frequently rather than focusing on his aerials, that way he has more options. Could you probably specify your question a bit more? Like if you're having...

    Safely Sealing Stocks

    Whenever both you and your opponent are within high percentage, neither of you cannot afford make a single mistake or else you'll be heavily punished for it, so naturally it is pretty tough to close a stock for either side. Dair to Dsmash is an almost gurantee KO, but it's hard to land if you...

    What do you like about playing Kirby?

    The title speaks for itself, what do you like about playing Kirby in smash in the overall experience, or what made you play him? Stuff about his gameplay, like his fighting style, multiple jumps, or how cute he is. (Saying that you're a Kirby fan is too easy of an answer.) Even though I am a...

    Official "The Dog Show" - Duck Hunt Video Thread

    I've been recently learning how to play Duck Hunt for awhile, could any of you guys drop some feedback for me? I don't really play in tournaments, these are just battles from online. I main Kirby (obviously), but Duck Hunt is a pretty fun alternative. This is also my first video recorded with my...

    Kirby's "I forgot the old thread title" - Kirby Video Thread

    I just recently made a little replay video from online games with Kirby, if possible could someone review my Kirby and tell what I could do to improve? I might also do more videos in the future once I get a capture card and make videos without having to record the gamepad directly.

    Kirby's Toy Box - Kirby Moveset/AT/Competitive Discussion

    Are there any thoughts on using Kirby's Reverse Aerial? And by reverse aerial I mean going Bair rushdown all over their face, since his bair really powerful. Kirby has a really low short hop, so combine it with that and it's a completely different gameplay element in Kirby's ground game. Bair is...

    The True Arena - Kirby Match-Up/Stage Discussion (Discussing: Villager!)

    I actually play Pikachu second to Kirby, in my opinion Kirby and Pikachu are pretty even, but if I were to really flesh it out, Pikachu's UpSmash is actually the biggest threat to Kirby, since it's insanely fast. If Dair is shielded Usmash will come out as fast as shield grabbing, as well as...

    Kirby's Toy Box - Kirby Moveset/AT/Competitive Discussion

    All of Kirby's aerials can just about give you a grab, like a sour Nair to grab, Fair with the third hit canceled to grab, and on some rare occasions maybe Uair or Bair. Then using Fthrow you can connect with a Fair, then follow up with another grab or dash attack. Bthrow to Bair also works on...

    Q&A Kirby's Pondering Curse - Kirby Q&A/FAQ/Directory [CHECK HERE BEFORE MAKING A NEW THREAD]

    Is there a list of potential shield breaks Kirby can do against some fighters? Like Rock or fully charged Hammer? Just curious.

    Kirby's Throws

    When I start running low on KO options for Kirby, I always love to spam the UpThrow just to get people into the air. I believe Kirby's grab game is very good, especially if you know how to do reads. Also keep in mind that all of Kirby's throws except DownThrow puts him in the air. In order of...

    Kirby's Toy Box - Kirby Moveset/AT/Competitive Discussion

    I feel the most practical way to use hammer is when both you and the opponent are midair, more as a follow up to a couple variations of the Utilt combos. Because the opponent is in midair, a couple of their options are shut down to be able to fully punish. When you're both falling parallel to...

    Possible Kirby Tech? Ledge Hup-Cancel Discussion

    Bad video and sound quality incoming, recorded by me. As you can see, Kirby can go from the ledge on stage without experiencing any landing lag. However, it is also rather hard to perform it consistently, I messed up a ton of times myself. The basics of this tech is using the hup-cancel to...

    Kirby's Toy Box - Kirby Moveset/AT/Competitive Discussion

    Lately I've been starting to use Kirby's Hammer Flip more often as a reliable KO move, using it actually really helped during tight situations as a surprise attack. If the opponent is baiting an aerial from the ground to use an Up Smash you can use the Hammer midair instead to KO, which comes...
