This update sucks: Kirby hats revealed.

Chill · Dec 21, 2007

First I’d like to apologize for the delay with this update. Apparently our dojo regulars got their wires crossed. I also hope you guys appreciate the <strike>two seconds</strike> hard work it took me to come up with that pun.
<img width="250" src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/kirby_071220a.jpg" alt="Open wide" height="197" title="Open wide" />

As we all know Kirby's standard B move allows him to swallow his opponents and gain their standard B move in return. One of the reasons this is such a neat ability is that he gains a hat representing the fighter whos ability he has copied.

Aside from the hilarity that is SnakeKirby, this update also reveals that Dedede’s standard B is the ability to inhale. How exactly this will function remains to be seen.

digifreak642 · Dec 21, 2007

Oh, great, more complaints.

Garuda · Dec 21, 2007

I LOVED this update! Maybe it was because of the Snake cap.

Super Smash Master · Dec 21, 2007

Really Sakurai? Did anyone really doubt the return of kirby's signiture move? Why was this update necessary? Give us Zelda's special moves and confirm Shiek!

You're not the sharpest nail in the box are you? I explained in the first paragraph that it was a pun. Because kirby sucks in his enemies. Duh.

Loadsy · Dec 21, 2007

Where's Waldo??

Dammit why haven't they posted on the new video! I want to know who people think that dude was being carried away by the giant Jester blob lookin' thing about halfway through!

Loadsy · Dec 21, 2007

correction about a quarter of the way through.

quithas · Dec 21, 2007

Chill

Hey you did good with the one pun but wheres the rest man. I like your effort but come on I come here to read the updates and the funny qoutes with the pics. Im sorry but Misto and Mic rule dude cause they make awesome puns for the pics. Sorry dude.

odie-itachi · Dec 21, 2007

Oh come on man how can you say that King DeDeDe's B ability is to swallow people obiously Kirby is spitting out King dedede after he swallowed him I know you where in a hurry to write it down but... come on

Gedennnnn · Dec 21, 2007

Don't worry Chill... The worse the pun, the funnier it is. Snake Kirby is amazing.

Exactly what I thought.

(200th POST!!)

Silent_X · Dec 21, 2007

Do you know what'd be awesome?
A Kirby Brawl mode. Where instead of the normal roster, all of the characters (besides kirby obviously) are replaced by the Kirby-hat version of themselves , and the hats stay for the whole match.

Kirby cant spit someone out and get the hat at the same time, thats not how kirby works >_>

Silent_X · Dec 21, 2007

to help get the pink reaper's point across

KIRBYS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!

Ca$hoholic · Dec 21, 2007

I kinda liked this update, been waiing on it a long time now!

No... Have you ever played a Kirby game?

Have you evr played as Kirby in Smash?

If you answer yes to both of these questions, than I will be both shocked and apalled.

lilparadise · Dec 21, 2007

Kirby sucks in dedede, who has the suck ability. That means kirby sucks so he can suck.

Miamisportsfan45 · Dec 21, 2007

I think the reason for this is because they're putting together videos in the meantime, so they're revealing the basic easy stuff so that they have more time to assemble a good video for one of the better adventure modes. I'm loving the videos, but as long as they're still putting info out there I'll stay satisfied.

YAY!!! KIRBY HATS!!! I love Kirby hats! Snake, Pit, in fact all of them Kirby's are awesome! Except for Peach Kirby. Her B attack is so useless! It isn't even worth sucking her up! And Kirby does not work like that! You can't have a hat on and be spitting someone out with Kirby's standard B! It is obvious that Triple D's B attack is an inhalation attack! My favorite Kirby forms (from Melee) are Samus, C. Falcon, Mewtwo, Y. Link, and Ice Climber. Y. Link was actually more powerful then regular Link. And the Subspace Trailer is full of hidden hints.

I think there should be a special item similar to the bubbles in Kirby: Squeek Squad. However activates the bubble gets a certain something like a sword or fire upgrade. Kirby would be able to transform into one of his old game forms. All his attacks would change and it would be hard to make him lose his power.

Miamisportsfan45 · Dec 21, 2007

Well, Kirby doesn't necessarily suck in-game in my opinion. He just can't take many hits, but he can sure deal them if you're an experienced Kirby player. You just need to predict when using move such as sucking them up for ability and choose the proper times to change/lose the current ability.

Best of all, though, Kirby's a fun character to use.

Thunderbolt730 · Dec 21, 2007

Before anyone else posts thinking that we're talking about Kirby being a sucky player, I think we should start saying 'inhale'

And By the way, even though I'm not crazy about playing as Sanke, I really love the snake cap on Kirby. It reminds me of Chuck Norris for some reason...

And I also wish they had revealed the rest of the PT hats. I wanna see the Ivysaur cap!

Meta Kirby · Dec 21, 2007

I surrender!... unto you... a very good idea!

- The Doctor, Doctor Who

Who else thinks that Squirtle's B attack is Water Gun? I sure do. And I just loved playing as Samus Kirby! It was just so much fun! And I hate Peach Kirby... Mostly because I hate Peach but still... Solid Kirby looks like so much fun! Prepare for SUICIDE ATTACK!!! I really was expecting Pit Kirby to look exactly like Cupid/Angel Kirby, but this is even better! The halo is just changed to the olive branch thing. Meta Kirby looks slightly off key, basically because of the fact Meta Knight and Kirby are about the same character shape so it looks off to not have his armor. Koopa Kirby is pretty much the same from melee. And who else thinks that Zamus is gonna miss? Pi-Kirby is pretty much the same. D Kirby, Zelda Kirby, and Yoshi Kirby are the same. I hope Yoshi Kirby has more range now. Inhaling Yoshi was a little useless because of the poor reach Yoshi Kirby's tongue has/had. Zero Suit Kirby is funny. Diddy Kirby is a little... um... plain... There isn't even a tail! Kir-ByDeDe is basically Kirby with the king's hat. MORE INHALATION I SAID!!! Link Kirby and Mario Kirby are the same, but at least Link's bow is fast now. I usually just sucked up Link in order to get a Sword Kirby-esque feel. Wario Kirby is cool. I wish Kirby copied all of the character's powers, just so I could see Kirby on Wario's 'Hog'. (Next time, see the Corn Dogs take on... Frogs on 'Hogs'!!!- Tom, AFV)

On January 22nd, One Piece: Unlimited Adventure comes out in the states! Luffy = AWESOME IN SPADEFULS!!!!!

Mike87 · Dec 21, 2007

Solid Kirby is awesome.

Zycor · Dec 21, 2007

I was hoping they'd show Sonic Kirby... guess Sakurai wants to make us feel like crap for living in America... D: Guess we'll have to wait till it comes out in Japan...

Meta Kirby · Dec 21, 2007

"Doctor, they've got guns.""And I haven't. Which means they can shoot me dead but the moral highground is mine."- Doctor Who

Ike Kirby (Nothing fancy... Ike)
King Kir-BeDeDe (King Dedede)

SKuirby (odd... Squirtle)

Any other characters that debute later on will be posted here, so come back here if any of you notice me at all... I know that at least... um... three of you do.

Zerby.

That's my answer and I'm sticking to it!

Tomato Kirby · Dec 21, 2007

Yeah…I do not like the update either.

Sakurai said:
He’s able to copy an enemy’s ability (by which I mean, their standard special move) and use it as his own.

There goes the Copy speculation...just plain Copy. Guess I will just root for Inhale buffs or general improvements.

Rash · Dec 21, 2007

Is there any reason why they couldn't give Snake Kirby the mullet?

Bacon Man11 · Dec 21, 2007

The Snake Kirby made the update worth it. It is really funny.

Because Dedede has the ability to inhale in the games. Aside from that when Kirby copies a ability he doesn't spit the character out. They turn pop out above him in the form of a star.

Yea, Zerby is good. It's no less awful then Kirbio! And does anyone know how to get a random picture into the post? I am finding myself incapable of getting a picture from My Files into these things... hmmmmm... weeelllllllllll... guess that's it! Remember...

The Straw Hat crew is awesome!!! Luffy for the WIN!!! :newbie: :skull:

Flamesamurai · Dec 22, 2007

Isint diddys down b move throwing a banana? If it is does that mean that diddy kirby has his down be move for his b move?

Gigabyte · Dec 22, 2007

Snake Kirby is indeed awesome, but ultimately fails for lack of a mullet.

That is his down b, but the Banana peel is also an Item. It was announced that kirby only absorbs the neutral b.

Wheres the kirby hat?? :o

Vitality, are you talking about the Dedede Kirby and the inhale/spit out thing? Because, if you are, might the hat be the red and gold thing adhered to Kirby's head?!? If you aren't, I can't help.

Uh, did you ever even bother to LOOK AT THE PEACH UPDATE months ago? One of her four screenshots had her USING her toad technique.

This update sucks: Kirby hats revealed.
