throw fireballs

+1 billion,

try to say above him, kirby's dair racks up damage, kirby's bair is a lot better than his fair.

i reckon best bet is fair's and well timed dairs,

Stay above? What are you talking about? U-Tilt says hello. Maybe stay above him if he's in the air a lot.

Stay the hell away from him, don't underestimate N-Air, D-Tilt, B-Air or D-Air's range, and throw like one billion fireballs to force him to approach.

Edgeguard with either N-Air or D-Air depending on the situation, if he's above you it's really dangerous.

or course i mean in the air,

fire balls and distance will give you an edge, I also agree with cheeball, don't be above kirby, try to be higher then him, but don't jump around, or over him. When you land a fire ball, or you have 2 out and about, try to approach and either force him to avoid the fireballs, or have him stunned out. Kirby really does have fast attacks that act like a shield against mario, but with some stun time, they combo just the same.

Down B means nothing to a good kirby, but a surprise Up B is a good counter to an agressive kirby.

Fireball while your driffing back to stage so that fireballs guard the edge.

And F-air and U-air are really good at stopping kirby from getting close to you in the air, just don't use it too soon. Same for Up-slam head butts.

Being careful is the key.

If your opponent has bad DI, try doing the dair to uair to dair to upsmash combo... its not easy to do, but kills kirby in a few seconds.

Don't try to hard to get that combo, especially the dair portion of it because you're gonna get utilted

Uair chains are pretty effective in general though

 

[Phresh]

haha thanks guys il try to emulate red mario. I feel that mario is a bit floaty so when i approach with D air i get uptilted then weak B aired to another move which gets me to like 80 %

And do you guys have any tips for getting back on the ledge?
Kirby is a pretty decent edgeguarder

 

[NixxxoN]

Again, throw fireballs...

...at the ledge. Mario has one of the three best recoveries in the game and if you learn how to use fireballs, do the rising down+b and save the 2nd jump for the last moment if possible

 

[Surri-Sama]

if you want to beat kirbys, use Usmash and Uairs

if you want to recover, use Down B first (unless you are close to the edge)...then use your jumps and fireballs and what ever you think will connect, to throw him off your recovery.
