Kirby.....next great fighter?

[Hong]

No. Next great fighter Mewtwo and Link, nuff' said

Yes. Please make Link a top tier juggernaut so all of the unoriginal Sheiks, Foxes, Falcos and Marths can flock to their new found easymode character and leave the true gems of glory to us who want actual merit.

very cool. you are very cool.

A tweaked Mewtwo would be nice...

 

[Hong]

Mewtwo needs more weight. The whole "He's always floating" is a poor excuse. He doesn't need more speed, power or range, just weight and new special attacks. (Preferably changing Confusion.)

 

[Sinn]

Confusion...that was the reflect that wasn't really a reflect, right? Yeah...most pointless move ever.

And yeah...his weight was almost 270 pounds. I'm pretty sure that he could, maybe, USE that to his advantage in battle. Kirby was lighter than him (physically) and yet heavier in the game. BS.

 

[Dynamism]

Kirby deserves top tier again...

ALTHOUGH!!!!!!!


Balance will benifit us more than anything...so no great fighters will stand out, just skill!

 

[Blue Kirby]

Well he really sucked in melee and was too good in 64... Since he looks like a main story character maybe hell be good again

 

[Hong]

Even if tiers exist, any mid tier character can compete with top tier character, so that's fine with me if everyone lands in "mid tier". Some games can only have an "Average" as a minimum tier position since they can compete no matter what.

 

[specialsauce]

kirbys pretty good i like usin him in melee and although meta knight might top kirby cuz of his sword dont forget kirby can suck people up an copy abilities which can be good depending on who he eats

 

[Sinn]

Somewhat on topic...I think I may have a Kirbygasm what with all the new characters and the outrageous amount of hats he's going to have available to him now.

:: drool ::

 

[Kirby knight]

I liked the photoshopped Lucario, and Snake hats. Although it wouldn't seem right if Kirby sucked up Metaknight and got his Mask. lol a bit werid.

 

[SenorPresidente]

kirby is my favorite nintendo character and i am sure he will kick *** in brawl.

 

[_the_sandman_]

Kirby will be amazing in Brawl, maybe even one of the best.

But with 40 characters on the roster, along with Metaknight and Pit, I'm sure so many players will ignore him.

Which is good since Kirby players will be considered "unique"!

 

[Hydde]

Even if they made Kirby better I still get stuck on this fact.....

Metaknight is Kirby with armor and a sword.......Don't these two things make you superior

Your logic would have sense in the real life.....as no one can beat a foe with a sword and an armor with bare hands. You would get assasinated in an instant if u tried to do so against a skilled swordman............ but since we are talking about a video game............

AND Metaknight is traditionally faster than Kirby......

iTs ok but....

Nothing against Kirby but i think he is worthless as a brawler and won't add up to other characters

You dont seem to realize that Kirby was nerfed. He have very good moves but saddly they are weak. If Kirby gets buffed as he needs to be....he would just pwn, and IMO could be better than the own meta knight.

As a marth user, even when marth is godly, limiting yourself to attack with sword sometimes is not as coolasit seems. Metaknight seems to be a fast sweeper, but it seems he lacks the KO power.---- he even seems to be weaker than marth in that sense (Overall, marth sweepes are weak but smash and tipper arent).

Kirby, if revamped correctly, can trade blows much better than Meta, Kirby can get abilities....Kirby can fly like meta, and His throws could be much better than the meta ones.... which will be surely based on his sword.

Kirbys B moves suck but he will surely get buffed....moves like the hammer could be very strong and useful.

Kirby against Metaknight could be a very interesting fight butbecause of the potentially killing power Kirby has, i bet on the little puffball.

 

[Speedsk8er]

I- I didn't think the IC could be used effectively when I first saw them.

WOOT WOOT! ^_^

This has nothing to with whether their games dictate how they fight. If that was the case, Kirby would be a better character than CF.

And Mewtwo would **** all. >_>

 

[Symphony X]

Kirby is gonna be ignored for Metaknight, and I can't wait to **** all my Metaknight using friends with him.

 

[Princess Diana]

kirby's too slow... and too light... and doesn't have enough range... and he sucks...

 

[Dizzynecro]

ok here's my suggestions for kirby fixes.
better shash attacks(looking good with that up smash killing link and mario)
fix the rock, its awfull make it better in some way please it unusable
fix neutra b moves so they have normal reach( i hated how kirbys stolen moves were just worse than their origanls)
fix grabs so they don't randomly fail but cannot suicide(if the move WOULD suicide an invisible wall keeps you both on the pltform until the move is over)
make inhale move able to eat projectiles and spit them back as a star(classic move from kirby games)

with these minor changes Kirby could be solid mid teir instead of being awfull.

 

[SenorPresidente]

kirby's too slow... and too light... and doesn't have enough range... and he sucks...

in melee yes in the first smash bros no. again he if they make him like he used to be then he will kick ***.

 

[Symphony X]

Dynamism is right, its all about balance, I say to h*ll with the tiers, make everyone balance out so that their won't be a flock of people to one character. [COUGH]Fox and Marth[/COUGH]


Then it would depend on who you want to play as, not who is the best and easiest to play as.

 

[Chickenboy666]

kirby was really powerful in SSB64, and he get nerfed in melee
I hope he will be better in Brawl

Perhaps, I don't have any stupid idealistic dream that everyone is going to be equal; because there will always be some characters that stand above the rest. Maybe the tier divisions between the charcters won't be so drastic (poor Bowser ;_; not that I use him anyway) that time around.


I'm giving Kirby another chance this time around for a main; if it doesn't work out Metaknight will be my back-up, assuming he's not crappy.

...Words hurt you know. *Sniff*

 

[greenblob]

OK, let's analyze the 64 Kirby and see what made him so great.

UP-TILT! This was probably one of the most broken moves in Smash 64. Kirby's uptilt was the fastest tilt in the game, had huge range (huge feet + invisible hitboxes), and comboed extremely well.
Example: http://youtube.com/watch?v=yK7WWPUP67k

Huge feet + invisible hitboxes. Kirby's feet were around 1.5x the length of his main body AND he had invisible hitboxes extending past them. This made his fair (back then a sideways drill), dair, nair (back then a sex kick), and bair very dangerous. Not only were the hitboxes huge, but his aerials were very quick. Smash DI'ing out of his fair was more difficult than it should've been because of the huge hitbox.

Two spikes + three semi-spikes. Kirby's dair and up B spiked (they still do, but they're cancelable and his up B doesn't combo anymore). To be fair, his up B spike was extremely easy to avoid and once Kirby missed it, he was in for a beating, but still, it was good having something like that to end combos with, if you're near the edge. In addition, his d-smash and fair were semispikes. If you didn't Smash DI his fair correctly, you could be sent down at a 45 degree angle, and his dsmash and dtilt, when tipped, sent foes horizontally.

Huge recovery. But he still has that, although now he's overshadowed by Jiggs, Samus, Peach, and Mewtwo.

Kirby did have some crappy aspects though. His throws were wimpy, his down B was useless, and once his up B was interrupted, he was screwed.

 

[Symphony X]

God on 64, everyone's b*tch on Cube. Let's hope he hit's in between on the Wii.

 

[Hong]

Like I said;
1) Completely adjust the delays and powers of his throws to compensate for poor reach and limited melee game.
2) Allow Inhale to at least work on solid projectiles.
3) Make the Hammer more rewarding. :/

I actually like the Stone as an anti-edge guard. I guess it has room for improvement, but I'm happy with what I have.

 

[Hydde]

the hammer needs mor power....
the throws must be unavoidable onde he starts the thrwing animation (you can get out while he is flying with you).


He MUST be able to eat proyectiles thrown at him....solid or energy based!. I liked the idea of someone to spit them in form of a star (IMO the star must have the same damage and knockback of the item engulfed).

His Fsmash needs to be faster like the one in 64....his dair needs to be stronger....

 

[shminkledorf]

ya dat wud b cul

 

[greenblob]

The Fsmash wasn't that great. Sure, noobs spammed it, but most people could avoid it with ease. Besides, why go for a small amount of damage when you could go with one of Kirby's combo moves and go for a kill? The only thing they should do with the fsmash is make it so you can't DI straight up, so that you can edgeguard with it once in a while.

 

[Zantetsu]

He just needs to return to his N64 roots in order to be great again.

NOOOOOO. Im a 64 smasher more then a melee smasher and i know kirbies. Cheap as hell T_T. Broken up tilt, Over powered...Just horrible.

 

[Kirbinater]

Of course, I've always loved playing as Kirby since SSB64 and was one of my best characters. But I have to admit, I wasn't exactly fond of the changes they made to him in melee.

 

[KirbyForAll]

Any ideas about what his final smash will be?

 

[Hong]

They already showed it in the first trailer. It's the Cook power. We don't know how it'll work, though.

 

[Kirby knight]

It would be nice if Kirby had more than one Final Smash considering how unique he is.(doubt it)

Crash or Mic would make great final smashes
