1) U can use Forward air or Backair, i prefer Bair, u jump and Bair so u can aim the next Bair better

2-3)This Link contains the Kirby Matchup Thread http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=176103

4) Copy as in play style? No ones in particular there are a few combo vids out i'll link u some

My (Gonzo) Instructional Video

My (Gonzo) Combo Video

Lucky's Combo VIdeo

Kirby Little Weapon Combo VIdeo

Character Specific Footstool to Jab Lock Combo

5) See videos (we can really combo anyone but the heavier the better)

6) The footstool Jab Lock combo or my personal favorite against only Ike, Fthrow, Uair, reverse Utilt, Bair, Ftilt, Dair to Footstool or WOP

7) Not necessarily, its more characters with longer reach

8) He's ranked Hi tier according to East Coast rankings which means he doesnt place top 5 but he consistently places in top 15 out of ~70 (I personally think he can place higher we just need to understand our matchups better.

Complementing Gonzo:

1) I prefer Bair, Fair works at low percentages, Bair can WoP at higher percentages.

2) In personal i like the space animals.

3) In personal, Snake, MK and Lucario.

4) We have several good players, like Gonzo, ChuDat, T!mmy, Deg, Twilight Kirby and others.

5) Space animals, Ike, Bowser, DK and other heavy chars.

6) Fthrow > Uair > Fair > Dtilt (tip) > Fsmash.

7) Only in distant battles, projectiles are very annoying, and Kirby doesn't have a consistent projectile, but this isn't the worst factor. Kirby can **** some "long range" chars.

8)Kirby can place very well in tourneys, I've placed in first and second only with Kirby in local camps, against great chars like Marth, MK, Toon Link etc. And also with the best players, ChuDat has proved this to us, placing TOP 8 in camps with the most famous players of the world.

1) What do you use for the WoP?

Bair, you can switch it up a little with fair for those air dodgers. Usually its better to just time your bair better.


2) Who are your best matchups?

Fox and Captain Falcon.

3) Who are your worst?

Marth, ROB, Game and Watch, and Snake.

4) Who should I copy?

Metaknight, ROB, Pit, Olimar, Pikachu
Possibly: Snake, Lucario, D3, Wario, Sheik/Zelda,
Not always though, there are situation where inhale is better. Just with these chars, not always.

5) Who are the easiest to combo?

Heavy chars and fast fallers.

6) What's your favorite combo?

dthrow -> shield grab -> dthrow -> shield grab -> etc... only because it is funny for it to actually work against noobs, especially more than twice.

7) Are characters with range a problem?

Yes, but it's not that bad. ROB is very annoying, and Snake's utilt is lame. The range problem against chars like Lucario and Wolf, however, don't put Kirby at too much of a disadvantage.

8) Can kirby place high in a tournament?

Yep.
