I struggle with kirby... any tips?

[Omegascizor456]

Maybe it is just me but in SM4SH there are only two characters i can't get the grip of beating some of these characters. Those two characters are shiek and kirby... they are just so fast that they just beat me down. Do yo uguys struggle with fighting really good kirby/shiek players? Also do you guys have tips? Thanks for the help! It means a lot!:D

Is there someone in particular that you main? Or a few characters? I suppose there's some general anyi-kirby advice out there, but folks could probably give more specific advice if they know who you like to play.

Seriously though, what do you mean by that? Can you give us any specific problems you face?

Well Kirby isn't really that fast... at all. xD He has really poor approach options, most people rely on Dair or Nair so just shield grab them. So just try your best at keeping away and throwing out projectiles (assuming you're duck hunt), or be patient and punish Kirby at the right times with spindash (assuming you're Sonic). Also try to take advantage of Kirby's weight and try to kill him at fairly early percents. Be cautious of Kirby's back air & all his smash attacks when you're at high percents. Also try not to get gimped by down air.

Stupid mostly using mobile. I tend to forget mains are on profiles.

I read "I snuggle with Kirby..." Was super jealous.

Kirby's not too fast... (get ready for it)... "You're too slow!"

I didn't particularly mean the movement, i meant how they rush in as fast as they can with N-air to down-tilt, then to up tilt combo and those shananigans... sorry for being unclear and haha I think you are too slow xD

kirbys will want to jump alot so if you antcipate that you should be able to over take kirby, notice how many jumps a kirby has used, careful of his up tilt game .

I'm pretty sure Kirby is only good once he gets close, so keep him out.
Your profile says your mains are Dr. Mario and R.O.B., so pills, lasers, and gyros a bunch, I guess.

Just don't mess up or be predictable with your air dodges, or else you'll be juggled a lot.
