fox approach on kirby

[D1ce]

Having a tough time approaching on a kirby with fox.
Kirby's hitboxes seem to counter most of foxes approaches.

Is there any way？(besides countering kirby's approaches)

Fair is a pretty good move vs a kirby in the air.

If you're trying to avoid an utilty kirby, i think fox's dtilt out range's kirby's utilt? If it doesn't, I just wanna say that's pretty ****ed up. But yea that can work. Or just mix up your fastfall timing so they don't land the utilt. For example, when dropping from above kirby in a slowfall, a lot of kirby's will throw out an utilt once you get to a certain height, because they expect you to start fastfalling. If you wait for that utilt you can then fastfall on top of them in between utilts with the move of your choice. And if that doesn't bate them into an utilt, just double jump away and you're safe.

Those are just some ideas. The biggest thing that will help you I think is to somehow keep the kirby player guessing. If he can time an utilt perfectly when you approach then no you can't win. Which means you have to get him to mistime it somehow. Move quickly, don't fall into any patterns, and strike when you think he's off his game.

Fox jab on kirby utilt creates free attack for fox

Punishing recoveries with double jump bair is a decent option

Dash attack and ftilt are good neutral game options

Middish percent KOs: hit a weak nair / fair into usmash on grounded Kirby

High percent KO: hit a reverse fair into usmash on grounded kirby

reverse bair into upsmash works for me at high %

If you approach Kirby, you're going to lose.

Dairing is good cuz Kirby is short and sometimes short hop fair won't hit fast enough

 

[prisonchild]

most of the time I use dair to be honest. other than that SH approaching bairs? throw in some lasers if they are being extra Kirby when they play.

I read this as "pivot reverse upsmash works for me at high percent" and I was like DAMN that man has balls

Oh my gosh that would be insanity.

Presbyopia starting this early? Or another problem, but I don't think glasses would help.

/nitpicky.

 

[clubbadubba]

Maybe i just see what i want to see. My new goal in life is to approach a kirby with a pivot reverse usmash

 

[Sedda]

how would that even work against the utilt though?

 

[clubbadubba]

you'd have to get them to jump i guess

Bait out kirby's attacks, it's pretty much the whole match. A lot of kirby players WILL be aggressive because they know the little **** is easymode broken. It's be patient or take up Mario, I have a lot easier time playing against tilt **** with mario because of his dair and projectile. Good kirby players will simply duck Fox's lasers.

tl;dr dont get hit, dont drop combos or you're gettin kirby's cute shoes up your butthole.

something funny/sad is that utilt actually clanks with it

You can clank with DK downb...? For some reason that doesn't sound right to me. I can't really imagine it. Could be wrong.

But...uptilt...

play around utilt

dair is actually good approach in this MU, although it's hard to explain how in text

I agree, when you can get a kirby facing towards you might have short opening betweens utilts or you may catch them dash dancing. The problem for me is how horribly dair trades with uptilt; they'll get out of tumble before you can tech, even at low percents, meaning you'll eat 5 more utilts
