I would love that kind of alternate moveset. Too bad it's a headache both for programming and legal reasons.

PMDT knows what to do with Kirby. There is a lot of talk going around about what he needs, they just need to do it correctly so hes not a super jank floaty that is not fun to play against. Question is, will it happen?

 

[FreeGamer]

Unless a PMDT says something or there's a blogpost addressing him, I won't get my hopes up.

I joked about it with Strong Bad on Facebook once, messaging: "Strong Bad, buff Kirby," and he was like: "Thanks, I had not thought of that before till now. *thumbs up icon* "

So you all have me to thank.

LMAO

Kirby confirmed joke character. This game really is Melee Kappa

 

[FreeGamer]

Melee: Fox da bess, Kirby and Bowser **** tier
PM: Fox still da bess, Kirby and Bowser still **** tier

ashes to ashes, dust to dust -_-

but in all seriousness, i don't think this character is a lost cause... at least not yet

let's focus on MU knowledge instead of impractical tech for now, kirby's low popularity means we still have a ****ton of ground to cover on that front

Next time I play ESAM I'll tell you how camping vs. his Samus works out. It'll probably be a while though.

 

[Aunt Jemima]

i dont keep up with PM but is Kirby really undeveloped or is he so simple that there isn't anything to develop?

this board is dead and there's barely any kirby players despite the character being out for like a year or two lol

 

[Project SonicSpeed]

He's just sort of a really gimmicky character with a lot of really over centralizing tools that are supposed to help with his movement issues but they just end up crutching him and anyone who can stop Kirby from using them against his opponents can just sort of abuse his meh mobility to beat him. I think the real problem is that people don't really want to invest time into a character that relies on gimmicks more then rewarding them for actual skill. At least imo i'd consider Kirby pretty gimmicky, Not Melee bad where knowing the MU means ur pretty much ****ed but still gimmicky.

 

[FreeGamer]

And the sad part is, he's still better-designed and way more fun than Smash 4 Kirby.

 

[Project SonicSpeed]

Lmao Sakurai doesn't know how to balance his own game so I'm not suprised that the PMDT did Kirby better then him. Smash 4 Kirby is basic af and bad, while PM Kirby is gimmicky af and bad.

 

[FreeGamer]

Even more sad because Brawl Kirby was basic af and semi-viable.

 

[Project SonicSpeed]

Yea Kirby's nerfs in smash 4 were pretty stupid. He already has it hard enough getting in so why nerf his damage output and semi safe appraoch options? Auto cancel fair in Brawl and bair with 9 frames of landing lag, those were the days.

 

[Aunt Jemima]

Kirby's never going to be interesting in Smash Bros. until his moveset is revamped. Pretty much every N64 fighter is a basic ***** except maybe Samus and Link (in other games, not Project M). Until Kirby's moveset is updated to fit the hardware advancements, he's going to be a boring butt.

 

[FreeGamer]

Or they could make a unique moveset based on more of his different abilities instead of a bunch of kicks inspired by Fighter... nah, who am I kidding?

 

[DrBeat]

So I guess with development ceasing it's time to pick up another character? I've been sitting here waiting for mobility buffs since 2.5. In a game where movement and spacing is king I just don't see it happening the way Kirby is now. Very disappointed

 

[Player -0]

Every character is viable. If you decide that Kirby with its current state of mobility isn't good then you can choose another character.

 

[FreeGamer]

I bet he's way more viable in 2v2. Especially with someone who can give him a useful Copy Ability (Ivy, Samus, Falco, Mario, Pit, Lucario, Wario, Sheik, ROB, G&W, etc).

 

[Bash2King]

Am i the only one irritated Sm4sh Kirby got a Kill Throw BEFORE PM Kirby

 

[Project SonicSpeed]

Different games, different dev teams with different mindsets on how to balance characters. So you really shouldn't be bothered at all.

I Guess but I'd like to know why we couldnt get it. would it have been that Broken? And the fact that PM Dev listened to fans occasionally and I've seen people talk about making Uthrow a Kill throw for a while

 

[Project SonicSpeed]

Maybe they didn't think Kirby struggled to kill. IDK it's not something we can really ask them at this point lol.

[Mother/EB]

Message me the invite to the Kirby please. I just decided to make Mario and Kirby my best pockets.

 

[Brooster77]

Am just starting PM and am trying to find a main. Here's what I want in my main:
3 frame jump squat (I spent too much time wding with ICs to give up the timing)
Fits well with my reactionary, defensive style
Not projectile focused.
Bonus points for: tech chasing, abusable cheese, and being a b**** to play against.

No sheik since I don't wanna mess with my melee sheik.

Is Kirby a good character for me to try? Does anyone know any other characters I would like?

 

[Genaoreo]

Is Kirby's "HIIIIIIIII" taunt more high pitched like it was in Melee, or is it the same as in Brawl?

Its also not as good

 

[Player -0]

Kirby sounds fine for that. Another possible character would be Sonic.

Also Kirby's D-Taunt (the hi one) sound can be chosen depending on whether you hold or tap the button.

I was going to suggest Game and Watch, but his jumpsquat is 4 frames. Otherwise he fits literally every condition you gave.
