should I keep playing with Kirby?

[vinnieminnie]

I have been playing with kirby from the first time I played the game... I think Kirby is a great charactar and I can take on every comp 1 vs 1 (but that isn't difficult)
I do have problems with 1 vs 2... that's why I stil haven't been able to defeat very hard mode

Yesterday I started experimenting with other charactars and I played just as good with link as I did with kirby... That is really weird to me because I have never really played with link so I shouldn't be as good with him as I am with the charactar I'm playing with for such a long time.

I am starting to think that I should drop Kirby for Link because, at this moment, I play almost as good with Link as I play with kirby, I should be able to get much better with Link if I play some more with him.

Of course I will never drop kirby for real... I will keep playing with Kirby for fun, but I think I should play with another character to become a better player.

What do you think? I don't think I could get much better with kirby then I am now... so should I play with another charactar?

I know... I am not really good at english but I'm from holland. And I also know that is you can beat very hard mode with Kirby, I just don't think that I will be able to beat very hard mode with kirby

just to let you know... I don't play to often against real players because my friends suck even more then me xD I'm almost only playing against lvl 9 comps and in very hard mode classic.

I think you should just go with a character that you're very good with. And if it's Kirby, I say go for it!

 

[vinnieminnie]

maybe I should just keep playing with kirby until bros comes out and then start playing with metaknight or pit or another new charactar... they look good to me

Kirby will probaby be a better character in Brawl (at least that's what I hope), you should wait. Kirby rules ^^

I agree, 100%. They'll fix up Kirby in Brawl, and he'll be much higher on the Top Tiers, just like he was in the N64 one!

Kirby is terrible and it's pretty much impossible to amount to anything with him. Don't play Kirby.

If you're talking about Melee, then I guess I can't forgive that.

If you're talking about Kirby overall, then what the heck are you doing-

Oh, wait, you're a mod...

...Uh, hi!

Not impossible, just really, really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY, hard.

 

[Silent Wolf]

Just trying to make it seem like Kirby is hopeless, because he JUST ABOUT is in Melee.

 

[t!MmY]

Oh noes, you posted with a one-liner!

Kirby is pretty bad in Melee... (arguably the worst) but it doesn't mean you can't win. Isn't that right Silent Wolf?

And if you're playing against computers, they really shouldn't give you problems with any character. Though I don't know why you'd only play one character if it's mostly just casually against CPUs.

 

[vinnieminnie]

ok... I've discovered I also can't beat the 10 vs 1 battles with other charactars like Link... so I am still playing Kirby

I would be really heapy if someone could give me some tips on defeating the 10 vs 1 battle or maybe someone could even make a vid because I can't find one except for one... but that one is speeded up and he also looses 3 lives at the 10 vs 1 battle...

 

[Madlobster]

well as T!mmy said, Kirby is arguably the wort char in the game, but the truth is, there is always room for getting better.

im about the only one in europe that mains kirby, but i still mannage, and ill promis you this, there is no greater feeling then owning top tiers with bottom tiers :D

Allthough you probably would do better with "better" chars, i personaly play better with the characters i enjoy playing the most

 

[vinnieminnie]

ok... i've decided to keep playing with kirby but I have a few questions I would like you guys to help me with

1. Will I do much better with Kirby once I learn how to wavedash and stuff like that because I haven't really tried it alot and I don't really see te point to wavedash with kirby...

2. I have learnt that thing were you suck in someone and drop down... then he will die and you don't... Now I can defeat alot of stages in classic without losing a life. Now I can get to the 10 vs 1 with 3-4 lives... but i'm still having alot of trouble with them so can someone help me with the 10 vs 1 battle... I need some tips or vids so I can come up with a strategie because, at this moment, I can't defeat al of them without losing less then 2-3.

 

[Buttcrust]

Well learning how to wavedash isn't going to help you much. Sometimes wavedashing is a bad thing to do. If you can learn when to use it it will definitely help you out.

And l-canceling i highly recommend you learn. It cuts the time between when you land from an arial attack and when you can move again in half. It is hard to understand just how useful this is until you start doing it. I didn't think it would help much but it does a lot.

And the most important technique you can learn is short hopping, if you have not already. It allows you to hit them with arial attacks easier and lets you follow up attacks better. This combined with l-canceling is the most useful tactic in the game.

Definatly learn to short hop and l cancel. I had difficulty with short hopping because you have to press the button within 2 frames of a second. short hopping absolutly makes a difference. also watch some vids on youtube or something of T!mmy omnigamer and king kirby 90. the guides on this forum are useful to learn as well.

gimpy's opinion time

its pretty well known that i play a piece of crap character pretty well, so i cant just tell everyone not to play their character (well, i still do it anyways so meh)

If you want to be TRULY good at the game, i say drop kirby immediaetly and start playing one of the top tier characters, if you want to have fun, and still want to have the ability to compete then play somebody who fits your style that you can become good with. I personaly just absolutely love bowser as a character, and his style matches with my own, so thats the char i play (yea i picked up ganon recently too) but play the char you love, theres not much time before brawl, but there could be time still to go from unknown to known.

just do whatever you want, play for fun, play to win.

what are you implying...?
lol, im pretty sure kirby cant beat anyone good in tourney. unless maybe, MAYBE, ur isai. =T

has kirby beaten anyone good in tourney?

gimpys so wise, lol.

 

[Endless Nightmares]

I think you're just tired of Kirby because you're been playing him so much. Maybe you're just tired of him. There's nothing wrong with giving him a break and trying out a new character. It's quite refreshing.

You don't exactly have to stop playing Kirby, but if you're getting bored of him give some other characters a try.

 

[mario-man]

Good advice Gimpy. Im vary inprssed wit ur uber extrmly advncd noowledg bout Boozer an othr lw ter chars. Lol

 

[Wayland]

I'd keep playing kirby in friendly's, low-tier tourney's, and that kind of stuff. If you want to be extra risky, you can try Kirby in teams as a counterpick. Kirby's fun to be good with. He just gets ***** too badly to count on in tournaments or anything else that really matters.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

it seems like he is just playing the game to have fun, i say stick with kirby if thats your favorite character, once you start advancing there may be a point where you consider picking up a new character, when that happens dont worry about "loyalty to a character" or "tier whoring" or anything like that. Just play who feels right, and most importantly, have fun doing it.

 

[vinnieminnie]

I do play for fun and I'm not planning to win any tournaments I think that i'm able to beat very hard mode before this week is over

EDIT: jeej... I've beaten very hard mode classic with Kirby. I still had all my lives when i've gotten to the 10 vs 1 battle I. I've lost 1 live in the 10 vs 1 battle and 1 in the master hand battle. So i've only lost 2 lives It may not seem good to you guys but i'm really happy with my results

I agree 100%. Since I got the game (at launch) I've been a Peach-only player, and I'm having a lot of fun now that I'm trying some new characters. Now, using Kirby against my friends is quite difficult (Samus, Sheik, Falco), but it's really fun ^_^ and there's nothing like beating a top tier using a bottom tier. Also, Kirby rules

has kirby beaten anyone good in tourney?

Rob$ (sheik), Smiles (peach) and PAX (fox) perhaps?

 

[t!MmY]

Ha ha, Samochan. I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Madlobster]

it's fun to drive your friends insane with kirby-cides and taunts :D
Kirby is too good.

 

[san-romanov]

you're right, ****

Hey man, you're completely right, when i started to play melee i realize kirby wasn't so good like the other characters.
so, i decided to play with someone else, i mean, i kept practicing kirby but i chose ganon as second character.

In my opinion, take at least 2 characters and increase your cleverness with both
