"Kirby is rarely seen in tournaments, because he's a difficult character to win with in high-level competitions. He has solid edge-guarding tactics and a few unique abilities that allow him to KO opponents at very low percentages, but overall he has a high learning curve and very few advantages compared to most characters."
It sounds like they based their opinion off the Melee version waaay too much.
