Plz help. What can I do against Luigi?

 

[Project SonicSpeed]

Don't get grabbed.

 

[Krysco]

Just practice matches

Ah okay. Sorry for not replying sooner. Work tired me out more than I thought it did.

Don't get grabbed.

 

[Wintermelon43]

Lol two people just replied the same thing. But.............. Yeah............. don't get grabbed............

 

[Poupoko]

Plz help. What can I do against Luigi?

Don't get grabbed!

 

[Dessa]

Rage-quit.

 

[|RK|]

Okay, that much was already clear lol. That is quite the uphill battle.

 

[Asdioh]

Hold A to jab if you think he's gonna try to run in and grab you. Jab will beat or trade with his grab. Don't shield too much, it doesn't help in this matchup unless he's landing above you.

So basically don't get grabbed right?

 

[Burgundy]

Oh I know!
...
Pick someone else.
And don't get grabbed!

 

[WootSnorlax]

Actually, you can sort of camp him out by crouching his fireballs and if you're about to go into that animation where you get a bit taller just dtilt. If he runs at you while you're crouching just do a dtilt. It's really lame, but lets be honest dthrow -> luigi cyclone killing at 90% guaranteed is just BS.

 

[Poupoko]

Okay, that much was already clear lol. That is quite the uphill battle.

I don't know how reliable baiting grabs are; I never really tried it because that losing that gamble isn't appealing. Instead I use Kirby's jumps to try and bait aerials/shield for a dash grab, u-tilt setup or Inhale. It really doesn't help that every attack we use sends him sliding halfway across the stage and that he has practically lagless smashes.

Hold A to jab if you think he's gonna try to run in and grab you. Jab will beat or trade with his grab. Don't shield too much, it doesn't help in this matchup unless he's landing above you.

If you're at the distance where he might grab, is holding out a jab risky? I think that he could fireball your jab and put you in that "attack collision" animation, then go for a grab from there... I think.

I don't know if this has been brought up before but I really think this board needs a "Tips and Techniques" sticky or something to compile all of the little things we've found in one big, convenient post, similar to many of the other character boards. It doesn't really need the huge list of complicated character specific combos, just the simple stuff so people can get an idea of what Kirby can do. This board is littered with these little tips but scouring through hundreds of posts to find them is really impractical. t!mmy's guide is pretty good, but no offense, anybody can jump into training mode and see what Kirby's moves do, and you will need to know a lot more than Bthrow->Bair to compete anywhere above a for glory level. Ideally the guide would be updated to include more techniques but it's easier said than done so for now I would propose it be made its own thread. Even just an update to the existing directory with links to useful posts and videos would work as long as it's clean and well organized. The way I see it, the easier this information is to find, the quicker Kirby players can improve and the better Kirby becomes as more of his potential is unlocked.

 

[da K.I.D.]

Nair is good against fireballs against mario and luigi. I think im really close to breaking open those two matchups. Ill keep you guys posted

 

[Mega-Spider]

Plz help. What can I do against Luigi?

If you manage to catch Luigi off-guard, D-Air will be your best friend. I personally like to either jab or D-Smash after landing that attack. Since Luigi's fireballs hover, duck under them, since Kirby's crouch is low enough to do that.
Also, don't get grabbed. That's pretty important.

Has R.O.B already been discussed in here? If not, for people who have had a chance to fight against one, how is it?
http://smashboards.com/threads/r-o-b-matchup-analysis-30-kirby.409296/
This already exists, but it doesn't have any replies yet. If I could play against someone on the 3DS (and potentially get destroyed) to be able to give an opinion, I would be thankful.

No, I don't think so. Not on the matchup thread at least. I'll go online right now and try to find a Rob, and if I don't, I'll try to find a video of it, and see what the matchup looks like it could be. But I don't think I'll be good at it I suck at explaining matchups, only the numbers

 

[Krysco]

R.O.B. is one of my better characters so that might help although I'm no pro or anything, I could possibly give an idea for the mu by facing someone although it'll have to be on the Wii U version since I gave my copy of Smash 3DS to my sister. I could even record the matches with my capture card so others could see and give their opinions on it.

 

[MintyBreeze]

D'awww... I'm sorry that I won't be able to help then, my Gamepad needs fixing.

@ Poupoko , thank you very much.

Can't play on the 3DS, but I play ROB as my secondary. I posted some comments if that helps!

 

[t!MmY]

Ideally [Kirby's Epic Guide] would be updated to include more techniques but it's easier said than done so for now I would propose it be made its own thread.

There are multiple threads that deal with what you are talking about:

Kirby's Toy Box <--- Discussions & Listings of all Moves, A.T.s, etc
Kirby's Pondering Curse <--- Q&A and FAQ for all things Kirby
The True Arena <--- match-up specific tips & tricks discussion

If these threads are not meeting your standards, you could always contribute a thread of your own with what you feel is missing. All good threads start this way.

[MintyBreeze]

What does Stone even do on the ground, anyways?

Its a great mixup because it's so bad they don't prepare for it /s

 

[Project SonicSpeed]

That wasn't the question.

It has a quake hitbox that pushes you back if your close enough but it doesn't do any knockback. It's mainly used so that you can transform out of stone safely if you hit the ground right next to someone.

Edit: If you use it on the ground you transform into it faster, but you only ever get the quake hitbox.

 

[Wintermelon43]

But didn't you hear? The "gorls" have been attacked. You should probbaly stop spying on Reserved and save your kind.

 

[MintyBreeze]

Oh... So it's sort of like a damageless counter, huh? That's neat.

 

[Asdioh]

No

That wasn't the question.

Edit: If you use it on the ground you transform into it faster, but you only ever get the quake hitbox.

It does 14% (landing with stone in the air does 18%) and the knockback increases depending on percent. Set a CPU to 999% in training mode on a really long stage like bridge of eldin and watch them slide. I don't know what frame grounded stone comes out on, but it's pretty fast. It's viable to use on someone if you have a read on them and know they won't be shielding, but really it's just kind of a troll move, its risk/reward ratio is poor.

Took me a while to complete Kirby Rainbow Curse. I wanted this game to be in the list of my all time Kirby game, but I'll say my score is around an 8/10. Well, at least Kirby Triple Deluxe is the new face in my list along with Kirby Adventure and Kirby Super Star. ★

R.I.P Iwata

 

[Swamp Sensei]

The Kutthroats have set out to draw their character thanking Iwata for all he has done.

We invite you to do the same.

 

[JamesDNaux]

From HAL to Nintendo, luck is now left with him. Rest in peace Iwata.

that's creepy

pretty much

 

[ZeroSnipist]

Hey Kirby players! We from the Ryu boards are making a doubles thread. The purpose of the thread is to find the best partner for Ryu. I'm going to invite as many people I can at once and get discussions going on all at once. We invite you to our dojo and hope you could help us discuss Kirby and Ryu in doubles. Thank you in advance!

 

[Gova]

Got 3rd at a pretty large local with Kirby.

http://austinsmash4.challonge.com/atxfiles9

And i won a charity tourney today with most of are regulars that place in top 8, except our two best players were playing bad characters since the charity was technically for them. unfortunately there aren't any vids from this tourney

outside of that, can't seem to break into first or second, if I run into certain characters that can just outcamp kirby it ruins my bracket run, there's too many robs in austin

anyways, i posted the videos i had on stream from the large local in the video thread, feel free to check them out.

 

[Asdioh]

ROBs? I haven't played too many good ones, but I feel like it could be kinda fun. Much better than losing every week to ****ING SONIC
Can you name the characters in the top 8/characters you played in bracket? Good jaaab clapclapclap~!

 

[Gova]

ness, zss, fox, rob

We did pools before going to bracket but those were all the characters I played against.

The rob matchup is not fun btw

edit: thought you meant for the charity tourney
