    Patch 1.1.3

    Dash attack and Hammer have their use. They're not really too good on their own and I hardly ever use them, but occasionally I'll use dash attack to catch ledge bound rolls or as a mixup to dash grab when I want that launch angle that Usmash or Fair can't give. Hammer is insta-kill after 19% on...

    Patch 1.1.3

    Christmas came early! Exactly what I wanted and a bit more too! Did a bit of playtesting, our new U-throw definitely helps with one of Kirby's main problems, but still requires putting in some effort (which is a good thing). We reliably KO about 20% earlier, so that still means getting them up...

    Guide Kirby's Frame Data [Deleted]

    Surely you guys aren't that surprised by this. A lot of Kirby's frame data, or startup at least, was already known from the 1.0.4 mines (with many moves being similar to Brawl) and not much has changed since. His tilts are up there with the best, his aerials and smashes are average, but super...

    Guide Mario matchup thread

    I regularly play with a Mario main that actually knows the Kirby MU, so I can effectively say that Mario destroys Kirby. Usmash being fast and massively disjointed prevents Kirby from doing anything to Mario from the air, outside of Stone (bad idea). On the ground, Mario "outpokes" Kirby and a...

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

    Eh. While I don't really agree with some of the MU analysis, keep in mind that Sneak Sneaks wants Kirby as a secondary to cover bad MUs. I agree that Kirby does handle a few things better than Mega and vice versa (as two characters usually do) and that Rosa, Mario, Pika, Pit, etc. are beatable...

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

    If you only want Kirby as a secondary, it's probably for some particular MUs because Kirby has a lot of quirks against different characters. I don't really know Megaman's bad MUs, but I'd assume he has trouble with speedy combo oriented characters to which Kirby can help against (Sheik, Fox...

    Kirby 1.11 Patch Changelog Thread

    Technically speaking, I guess you're right, but it still is incredibly punishable even with the new frame advantage (which speaks volumes about how it was before). Not that it doesn't have its uses of course. Basically with universal shield stun, you can't act out of shield as quickly. This...

    Kirby 1.11 Patch Changelog Thread

    Where's all this coming from? It's not like Kirby had any approaches to begin with and dash into shield will only get you so far anyway. On the other hand, this makes Kirby even stronger up close since we can poke and convert really well. I've been trying out well-spaced F-airs on shield, that...

    Social Kirby & The Amazing Cats

    If I'm thinking about this right, then it shouldn't (without suiciding). To get the Final Cutter spike, you have to hit with only the downwards hit while backing away or stop the shockwave somehow (usually by grabbing the ledge or plummeting with them). I don't think the jab-cancel could help...

    Social Kirby & The Amazing Cats

    Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Not really. PK Thunder shoots up above Ness's head, so your best bet is to fall on it (or you can catch it from the side as he's making the arc to recover, but you'd have to be farther offstage than him for that...). Anyway, trying to fall on it is tough because...

    What buffs does Kirby need?

    Lol, I feel like Kirby with an air speed buff would be OP. Imagine Jigglypuff with our generally better aerials, along with our great grab game and decent smashes. Bit of an exaggeration, but not too far from it. Kirby is more or less fine as he is now. Definitely not the best, but most MUs are...

    the fan kirby copy abilities tier list

    Maybe, but that doesn't get him anywhere. If he's close enough to start using Chef, he might as well as dash attack (way better option). Jumping is probably not a good idea though, trying to deal with Chef from the air is not fun... Also the food isn't energy in this game, so he can't absorb it...

    the fan kirby copy abilities tier list

    Well actually, I think Mach Tornado is a great move. Just not so against MK, especially in Kirby's hands. First, Kirby's Mach Tornado only does 13-ish% max compared to MK's 23%. So the damage aspect is so-so, leaving just recovery and KO potential. But Mach Tornado doesn't exactly KO early...

    I thought it would be fun, so why not? I wrote in some general, very general trends. I don't do tiers, so feel free to make fun of me for anything ridiculous looking. S-TIER :4shulk::4olimar::4pacman::4samus: (Can completely change the MU.) A-TIER...

    R.O.Bs True combos / Gyrocombos ( Video guides)

    Nice video! I didn't realize just how useful catching z-dropped gyro aerials are for comboing. Can definitely work that into my gameplay!
