kirby generations.

A friend of mine recently asked me how kirby has changed from melee to brawl. Obviously, he's went up pretty far in the tier list. However, I'm a bit of a noob and couldn't explain this very well. Basically, what I'm asking is: how did kirby get so good?

The makers of the game buffed him, that is all. However the mechanics of the game change as well, which can affect characters, but I'm not going to go into that. In Smash64 Kirby was even better.

Yes of course. I guess what I was trying to say was what are the MAIN buffs that make ssbb kirby who he is. I apologize for any confusion.

I believe the buffs Kirby got in Brawl aside from the game mechanic changes are:

Throws are no longer escapable
Better Dash Attack
All his B-moves got buffed in both Speed & Power
His Smash attacks have FAR more Knockback & Range (D-Smash miiight have been stronger in Melee)
His aerials have increased range & speed
Tilts got a range & speed buff

They sorta fixed everything that was wrong with Kirby in Melee from top to bottom and all they took away was his Kirbycide Throws.

Oh okay. That makes sense. I'm shocked they kept the thing where you kirbycide, then jump at the last second so you live. Seems like they would have gotten rid of that. Anyways, thank you!

They did get rid of that. We now have to settle with footstooling out of our inhale break, which is character oriented.

Also, next time post something like this in the Kirby Q&A or the General Social.

Although it COULD be asked in the social or the Q&A thread too... It's also okay to make a thread about it. Trying to start discussion on how Kirby has changed from Melee to Brawl (although it was done years ago, lol) is an acceptable ideea for a thread.
