While using stone is usually not very good, it sometimes catches gunner players off guard by beating out gunner's up air. With Kirby's buffs in killing power over the past few patches, I think the matchup is even.
Puff is a bad character and can't approach. Marth has a sword which means he can do anything he wants because we're Kirby. Bayonetta is mad safe and gets confirms off stuff. Bowser bops Kirby utterly. I dunno about DK though. I assume he wins because of range and le ding dong.
Puff: The only thing I can think of is that she has a superior air game and air mobility, allowing them to fly circles around us.
Well, cool, Kirby gets some combos when he wins neutral. Bowser does that much damage every time he gets a grab, too. That aside, how does Kirby win neutral? Kirby's ridiculously outranged, and Bowser is fast enough that he can stand at range for an unreactable dash grab and Kirby is still unable to punish jabs, pivot ftilts, and pivot grabs. And getting in via the air is a futile effort because Kirby air speed lol + Bowser has up tilt which is unpunishable with down air even on a read, though you could maybe punish with down B but even so that's a big commitment. We also can't get off the ledge or land because again, jabs, ftilts, and grabs body any movement attempts, heck even flames are wack. He has up B out of shield which kinda bodies everything we do if we even manage to reach his shield in the first place. If and when he grabs us at 80ish, we die. We can't kill him off grabs until like, 130 on the top platform of Dreamland, which is one of the best case scenarios. Though he shouldn't be getting grabbed all that much anyway.
Did you take into account when Kirby gets Water Shuriken? I admit, I'm not an expert (far from it, actually), but I think that, like many abilities, Kirby gets major mileage out of them. Prime example being Olimar. Kirby's matchup with him becomes exponentially easier once Kirby attains the ability. Of course, there is the matter of obtaining the ability, but I'm fairly certain there are true combos into Inhale, such as U-tilt to B-reversed Inhale.Kirby doesn't beat Greninja. His mobility is on a whole other level, and water shuriken keeps Kirby out consistently.
As long as the greninja doesn't rush in head first into his up tilts, he should win.
I also believe as of Patch 1.1.5. , Mewtwo is a -1 for Kirby too
Yeah Kirby definitely does not beat greninja but it's probably closer to an even matchup with maybe a slight greninja advantage. Kirby can duck under water shuriken and can copy it which definitely helps in the matchup.Kirby doesn't beat Greninja.

If the Greninja is laming Kirby out, it will be a while before he can get ahold of him with that bad ground speed.
Kirby cannot duck under any variation of shuriken. Greninja walks very close to the ground.
I could have sworn Kirby could duck under shuriken, but your right. My BIf the Greninja is laming Kirby out, it will be a while before he can get ahold of him with that bad ground speed.

Mewtwo's down tilt out ranges all of Kirby's moves. His speed and range along with his strong KO power really gives him the edge on that Match up.
kirby bops falcon
> April 1st
I've always found Falcon kinda easy.
As a Kirby and Captain Falcon main, I've always felt the match up to be 60:40 in Kirby's favor. Not really bop worthy now that I think about it, but still advantageous for Kirby.
I feel like Kirby bodies the usual mid-level falcon (aggressive pressure), while the optimal Falcon (learned this from one of the best Falcon's in Ontario) is more of a passive, bait oriented style in this MU. As long as Falcon can mixup his recovery and keep himself in good positions I see the MU as even.
Kirby's dair can gimp Diddy so well that it basically lets Kirby pressure Diddy to never be off stage. A huge part of the match up
