Hello, I'm a noob lol

[Sol9000]

I'm somewhat new to Brawl and to SmashBoards and I need help. What are basic strategies/moves/tactics/whatever I should be learning so I can become a better gamer. I'll post a video showing a typical Match for me and you can tell me how well I did for a 13-Year-Old

Hello and welcome to the Kirby boards. The boon of Kirby is that he is an easy character to learn and has simple combos that are quite effective. Kirby is essentially a glass cannon who can deal damage and kill well but is the the 3rd lightest and dies really easily without proper DI. The three things I would start learning are spacing (this includes burst spacing), Kirby's overall priority and when it's good to use certain moves, and DI (Directional Influence) as it is pivotal to Kirby being able to survive against heavy hitting characters.

This guide should help as well. http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=144039

I can also give you some practice on wifi if you wish for a non-Kirby main's opinion.

Ah, a 13-year-old, eh? Well, welcome to the Smash World Forum's community's Kirby forums!

Now, to help you out, here's a couple of links to things you may want to know regarding Kirby:

Kirby Video Archive, Kirby videos are posted all over the place here!
Kirby General/Social thread, where all the Kirby community members go to blow off steam and talk about anything, Kirby-related or not!
Kirby's Questions and Answers thread and Thread Directory, the place to ask short questions for the whole community to answer and help, and also contains the links to important Kirby threads in the first post!
Kirby Match-Up Advice thread, where you will find some quick tips to how to play against other characters in the game (but only against other human opponents, although some of these tips apply to computers as well)!

And last but CERTAINLY not least...

T1mmy's guide to Kirby, "Kirby & The Amazing Guide", with mountains of great information for any avid up-and-coming Kirby players to read and learn! Watch out, it's ENORMOUS, but certainly worth reading due to all of the information on the character it contains. A valuable piece that cannot go unnoticed by anybody who wishes to take up Kirby.
