The question was about cool things that Kirby can do; it never said anything about how often you can do them.

Yes, I'm from Westminster, and I live about 5 minutes from Ken's house. I just started getting into competitive smash 2 months ago, so I didn't really bother going over there. I went once, but I got killed (back when I was marth), so I decided to improve before showing up again (and because I'm usually low on money). Actually, it was thanks to that biweekly that I switched to Kirby, because I hated seeing so many marths, space animals, and peaches.
What is WH? Somebody make a list of all this stuff, please.

Kirby is one of my favorite video game characters of all time! I love that little guy!
plus, I think he's my best character in the SSB series.

Wavehammer? It's still pretty hard to use it in the middle of a battle, but I guess I'm just not mind-gamey enough yet.

No, it is very hard to do successfully. But that is why it is so awesome when you do it. It becomes a free smack talk card for anytime you want it. Plus the question was just some Kirby moves with abbreviated names to sound cool, not to be useful!
Sushiman
Smash Journeyman
Oh, right. Good point.
How about combos involving the Final Cutter? I've started to use it in my game, but I don't know what to follow it up with.
Sometimes, if you just rush an opponent with their shield up and start up the final cutter you can catch them just as they drop the shield in preparation for your attack. That's always fun. Plus there's always the tried and true anti edge guard final cutter -> free fair/dair/uair(?) .

Ledge-cancelled cutter is the only time i use it, although I have seen the projectile used as an edgeguard, giving you time for a more concrete attack. Only works if they're above the ledge, not to high. (Unless the edge is slanted

Sorry about that. Ledge cancelled is the only time I use Final cutter.
Brawlmatt202
Smash Champion
Oh.
I actually use Final Cutter to attack sometimes. I try to take advantageof all of Kirby's advantages!
Sushiman
Smash Journeyman
You mean you try to use all of his attacks. Final Cutter isn't really an advantage unless you ledge-hopped it or you're recovering.
LHFC to Swallow?! Good idea!
Brawlmatt202
Smash Champion
Yeah, that's true. Still, I like to have fun.

Can swallowing + transform combo into anything? In air and on land.
Brawlmatt202
Smash Champion
huh, what? I don't understand what your asking.
nitro-blazer
Smash Lord
On the edge if you swallow / Spit out instead of Kirbycide they might not DI allowing for a potential U-air. Whenever I'm not in a Kirbycideish mood, I always try to swallow, copy, and combo out of it.
Buttcrust
Smash Ace
Sometimes it can get you an u-tilt which combos into whatever. You have a good deal of lag after eating them though.

After yesterday, I'm ready to admit Fox is indeed Kirby's worst Matchup. Then Samus, then Marth (IMO).
Sushiman

I've done a mini-FoP once, but never again. It's pretty hard to pull off. . .
I'm pissed at my cousin's falco. He kept using his laser (while standing, he can't sh and stuff) while I was crouching. It took 10 minutes! And he was getting pissed becuase I kept shield-grabbing. He complains about Samus missile spamming, too. It pisses me off! -_-nitro-blazer said:
Now that I think about it, I've never actually played decent competitive smashers with Kirby. . .
PS: Sorry, Dodger. I couldn't go to the biweekly. It was my friend's birthday that day.
Kirby can SHL(if he swallows falco). Also i like using fcutters projectile on marth as he attempts to recover to the ledge and the downward attack can be used to spike chars close to the edge.
P.S. SoCal Kirbys FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I keep getting my butt handed to me against a link that uses up-b on ground all the time and I can't get near him, how would you get by???? Anyone
Go in from the air, or duck. Simple as that.

Kinda hard, since kirbies not on the fast side, once i get there its like, before i can pull up a hammer or any kind of move, he's ready to do it again and I have to be careful because if I knock him into the air, he'll regain balance and
press down-A (stabs sword into ground) and theres a tournament next week!
I'd rather go up against a Fox, than a Marth. Sure, once Fox throws you in the air, your dead, but I at least can land some hits in on a Fox. Marth battles frustrate me to no end. That's just me, though. Your top three are the same as mine... just different order.
1. Marth
2. Fox
3. Samus
I love laying the smack down on noob foxes, who think they're all slick cause they dashdance.
Keep close to him while staying in a defensive posture (sliding back, crouching, etc). If Link makes a mistake, even Kirby should have enough time to move in and get a hit or grab in. If you knock him into the air, it should be with a u-tilt so you can combo into U-air or B-air before he has a chance to D-air you with his sword. If he gets hit up so high that he can d-air you, then you should be hitting him horizontally instead to get him off the stage and edge guard him.

all you guy's advice helps, in a matter of fact we had 15 lives total, I just beat him with 6 left over, to you guy's, it might not be alot, but to me thats a freakin blowout!!! It looks like he was just a weak cheapshotter after all!!

Haha, I know how that feels. It feels good, doesn't it? Once that Link starts playing smart, it'll get even harder. (I suppose he will go to the Link forums and ask for help (: )all you guy's advice helps, in a matter of fact we had 15 lives total, I just beat him with 6 left over, to you guy's, it might not be alot, but to me thats a freakin blowout!!!

Yeah, I suppose that's because Fox is one of the "Top Tiers" and Kirby's one of the worst.
...Still, Kirby rocks.

Hey guys, I'm really trying to be a good Kirby since my two best characters aren't confirmed for Brawl yet (Peach and Jigglypuff), but I just keep getting owned by my friends (Samus, Fox, Falco, Sheik). Any tips so I can beat those characters? It seems impossible ~_~

He still won't be able to touch me, not getting cocky but I just beat him again with losing no lives, but 200 something percentage. (15 lives total) and he doesn't know about the boards.
