Amazing Kirby Footage from HTC Throwdown

[Cereal Rabbit]

Okay maybe not amazing, but I was able to record as many tournament matches that I could at HTC Throwdown. All but one of these were recorded off a separate recording device and so they aren't official.

That Peach matchup is rough. Do you think it's worth it to try to power shield turnips?

This is some pretty impressive Kirby play. You should be proud of what you've accomplished.
I especially liked the random taunt you did in the first doubles match.
Kirby's taunt is S-tier for sure.

I honestly think Puff/Peach is harder than Fox at this point. You can at least gimp Fox, but Puff/Peach requires so much patience and good reaction/decisions..

I get too many nerves to powershield consistently... eh... I think ducking is a safer option, but I'm all down to perfect powershielding turnips.

 

[ChivalRuse]

Just because the velocity of the turnips is relatively low, I feel like it would be pretty easy to consistently powershield. I'll need to test this out though.

This is some insane Kirby gameplay man. I just picked up Kirby a couple days ago, and it's the most fun I've had using low-tiers. Seeing crazy vids of Kirby like this makes me want to push Kirby to the limits, so well done man!

 

[Cereal Rabbit]

I honestly believe Kirby is a low/mid tier character. He's got so many tools/gimps. But that's another thread. Thanks sadweather

 

[ChivalRuse]

Yeah he's easily better than Zelda, Mewtwo, and Roy in the current metagame. And he's probably better than DK.

It's funny because all of those characters have a better matchup vs Fox but a worse matchup vs everyone else. I guess since Fox is so common though it's just going to come down to us pushing that matchup as far as possible.
