I like to use it as a suprise, when my opponent thinks that they have me and trying to attack me in the air, BOOM!

how many people use kirby's down B in battle?

Since I know people are too lazy to click like 2 links and find the video, I'll post it here:

Start at :40 for the Stone thing if you really don't want to watch the whole FITE. Me kicking G&W butt on wifi is pretty awesome though (even if I do lose in the end)

Know that I think of it, I don't use this move too often like before.... I need to use it more because of Lip's Garbage Block. ^_^

Does anybody else do the down b mindgame where you release two feet about the ground and your opponent goes to a sliding upsmash or something and you go back into a rock and hit them?
I spam it against n00bs, just to have some fun. :D
When I'm playing against a skilled player, I still use it, but probably only twice a match. In between those two, I usually get one KO. So it is a nice move when you can get set up for it, imo.

It rarely ever works, and I always got majorly punished for it, so I stopped doing it. I think it worked like, twice out of twenty tries...the other 18 I got grabbed and couldn't make up the difference and regain my ground after that(Speedy guys = massive amounts of hits in such a short time.).Glick said:

stone is okay... but spammers must die. it's also good to avoid FS's like mario's, peach's, IC's, and olimar's

I don't remember if I've posted this in this thread before, and I'm posting it in like 3 today, but I got the most amazing stone kill (After Asidoh's 
) yesterday, and I must share:
Pirate Ship/Delfino (mine was on Pirate ship, but it works on either). Go gimp your opponent's recovery with Dair. Who gives a **** if it doesn't spike kill: As they float back up, rock them in the face. Buh-bye Samus. (As Digm said at the end of the match after killing me despite that amazing kill: "Oh... so THAT's what you meant about stone being good here.")
Seriously though, water stages = spam stone edge-guards and Dair>Stone.

Actually in my experience it works fairly well against skilled players. I use it more in doubles though.

I learned about the edgeguard stone when you killed me with it...
. I love using it on one of my friends, it's so fun. I've gotten into the habit of telling him how I'll kill him (Dair, Fsmash, Stone, Aerial Hammer, Usmash,...), and then doing some other thing (he doesn't seem to learn...). I love using stone on him and just destroying him. It's also fun when you do an earthquake-edgeguard (epic). There was also this one extremely epic kill where we were both Kirby, I was juggling him with Uair, he used stone, I airdodged, used stone, and landed on top of him right as he came out... I also have one or two Wifi kills like that one you did to me, Asidoh.I've used it too much recently, as my playstyle has taken a huge jump back from playing all these good people... it was going forward before that.

That's just unfair. Awesome, epic, but unfair.

When the cpu ice climber killed you when the real one was about to die.

Kirby's rock is very helpful IMO. It's especially good against people who like to charge Up smashs after they hit me in the air. The funny part is the fact that they like to keep doing it many times in a match. I also like using it as a shield in certain circumstances, but only rarely because people catch on soon enough.

Hm... That might be a good idea... I should rephrase it though. Something like:
"F*cking climber killed you while the other was being star-ko'd"
Something like that, but cooler.

Don't. I think the original is better.
But anyway, the stone is excellent in the air. You can move down really fast while causing damage. that way you can punish poor aerials and catch your enemy off-guard. I also use it to return after being launched vertically. And with Kirby's float it's easily to be above your enemies
I try not to use it as a shield though. The lag when Kirby gets out has caused me quite some problems.

wut does down-b do again?
Good against mk's who wanna send you off the stage via shuttle loop. At least, it works for me, basically for anyone who for some strange reason tries to best Kirby via the air.
I tend to use it to escape combos or to try to surprise my opponent. If the surprise fails, I just stay as stone and let them grab me; it's usually much safer than taking a smash attack or some other strong attack unless the grab is something like squirtle's down-b at high damage...

I use Kirby's Down B to punish people using their up smashes. It's also good to down B>down b>foward b. Most opponents try to grab and get a face full of hammer.
Hi.
I only use down B when someone is annoying me with tedious ground play, or when we are both near the top of the screen and they try to do some horrible move.
If you down B while near the top, the move automatically tosses the opponent upward, and seeing on how the screen boundary is horribly near, it almost always results in a KO.
If you want to try this, make sure both of you are off screen.
Yup. Good luck fellow Kirbster.

definitely best for mindgames. especially good when your opponent is falling from an upwards trajectory. just jump towards them like you're going to use your uair (at this point they either air dodge or dair) but instead you skirt around them with one of your many available jumps as Kirby then use your down B while they still try to recover from their dodge or dair. works every time, for me at least.

Everyone seems to forget about this application, so I'l say it again:
On stages withwater, Dair spike them into the water, and when they float back up (since I don't think Kirby's spike is strong enough to kill in water. I've never done it anyway.), stone them. There's no way they can avoid it.

If you were still talking to me, the water brings you out of stone, so the only danger is doing it too early against a character who can spike kill you.

Best uses of rock involve tricksies with slopes. Way more unpredictable and harder to punish.

I use it occasionally. Often for edgeguarding, gimping recoveries, help me recover.
I also set up mindgames with it: Use it high in the air after getting hit high, the opponent will roll out of the way, cancel it in midair, the opponent will usually get back under you and charge an attack or something, the do Down-B again, and smash right into them.
Very satisfying.

Since this thread got revived, allow me to say I hate it on Lylat. Every time I go to do it when the stage slopes, and it gets back to a fairly stable state when I land and I end up not sliding, which gets me punished... ARG!

That usually happens to me on Yoshi's Island (brawl). I use stone when the platform is all the way tipped, then it reverse, and I get a fully charged smash (or if I'm lucky, only a grab) to my face.

But when I played you, you used Stone to your advantage when the platform tilted, and that made you fall on top of me and landed surprise attacks on me, btw, good tactic.

Yea, I loved that. I mean every single other time I've brawled there...

And i also use stone when you get hit up into the air, and your opponent jumps up to hit you and you use stone and hit them. Good feeling.
Stone is also good for fastfalling and getting you under the ledge safely while recovering
