'''Kirby''' ({{ja|カービィ|Kābī}}, ''Kirby'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. He was confirmed on June 11th, 2013 during the E3 2013 Nintendo Direct. He was also among the first wave of [[amiibo]] figures that are compatible with ''SSB4''.  

Kirby is again voiced by Makiko Ōmoto, whose new voice recordings give Kirby a much higher-pitched voice.

{{incomplete}}

Kirby is light weight character, and because of his size, he can avoid most attacks. He also has one of the lowest crouches in the game, and can avoid some attacks from tall characters such {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}. He also has a long-distance recovery due to his many jumps. Kirby has a decent combo game, with down-tilt, down aerial. As of update 1.1.0, his forward throw is good for comboing, as it sends on almost an entirely vertical angle which can lead to direct combos unto his up and forward aerials. Back throw can be lead into a back air on certain characters at low percentages as well as being a decent K.O. move near ledges. Kirby's best combo starter, however, is his down aerial, which can basically guarantee an up-tilt follow up if it connects, in addition to other options. Against fast-fallers, Kirby can chain up-tilt several times in succession, similar to Mario's up-tilt. He has many strong KO options in his smash attacks, Hammer Flip, Stone, and Swallowcide. Kirby's greatest asset in neutral is the speed of his attacks, which allow him to effectively punish almost any mis-spaced move from his opponent and, in the event of trading attacks, Kirby can often get the first hit and disrupt his opponent.

Kirby isn't without weaknesses though, his light weight causes him to be easily K.O.ed. He also suffers from poor mobility and poor approach, as his air and walk speed are slow (though his dash speed is average). His air speed and situational Final Cutter make his recovery easy to predict and as such, care is needed to use it effectively. He also suffers from having poor range with most attacks and has issues putting on pressure due to his poor reach and approach, making him easy to camp against. Kirby has trouble in particular against characters like Link, Samus and Sonic for the above reasons.

Kirby significantly benefits from customs. Jumping Inhale and Upper Cutter can give him one of the best recoveries in the game as well as notably improving his approach. He also can benefit from both of his alternates for Hammer Flip: Hammer Bash acts like the Hammer in ''Brawl'', making it overall more useful, and Giant Hammer, despite having ''much ''slower startup, it is significantly stronger (capable of KOing characters below 10%) and has super armor.

Kirby is considered to be slightly [[nerf]]ed overall in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', despite being a mid-tier character in ''Brawl''. While Kirby retains the issues he had in ''Brawl'' (poor mobility, light weight and floatiness) he also suffers from having his range worsened in ''SSB4''.  However, some of his less reliable moves from ''Brawl'', particularly {{b|Inhale|Kirby}} and his down air, have been [[buff]]ed and now possess much more utility. Kirby's overall standing relative to the cast is currently debatable, though many feel that he is still a solid mid-tier. Kirby has seen above average tournament representation with players such as {{Sm|Poyo}} and others, but his tournament results are poor overall.

*{{change|Due to the generally brighter aesthetic used in ''SSB4'', Kirby now has a brighter appearance. Additionally, his skin appears to have much more diffuse shading, with reduced difference in brightness between the lit and shadowed sides of his body.}}

*{{change|Kirby has a new [[sidestep]] animation.}}

*{{change|Kirby displays more exaggerated facial animations. Most notably in that many of Kirby's moves (grab, pummel, throws, up and side specials, all of his smash attacks, and most of his copy abilities) are now performed while giving a dour/stern look, similarly to his N64 counterpart. His facial expression when being attacked has also changed, as it is more exaggerated now.}}

*{{change|Kirby is slightly lighter (78 → 77), which is compensated with his slightly increased fall speed.}}

*{{buff|Due to the universal size changes of all fighters (with larger and smaller fighters having a bigger size difference), Kirby's small stature benefits even more as he can now crouch under certain attacks (such as the majority of {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}'s moveset) or simply let certain projectiles fly over his head as he approaches (such as [[Thunder_(Robin)|Thunder]]), making him much harder to hit for certain characters.}}

*{{nerf|Kirby's feet have become smaller. As a result, most moves involving his feet have had their reach significantly reduced, such as his up tilt.}}

*{{nerf|Kirby [[walking|walks]] slightly slower (0.95 → 0.93).}}

*{{buff|Kirby [[dashing|dashes]] much faster (1.371 → 1.5).}}  

*{{nerf|Kirby's [[air speed]] is slightly slower (0.85 → 0.8).}}

*{{change|Kirby [[Falling speed|falls]] slightly faster (1.2 → 1.23).}}

*{{buff|Neutral infinite now transitions into a finisher.}}

*{{change|Neutral infinite's finisher is the Smash Punch from the Fighter ability.}}

*{{nerf|Dash attack (14% → 9%) and up tilt (7%/5% → 5%/4%) deal less damage with their knockback compensated.}}

*{{buff|Kirby's foot is intangible during up tilt.}}

*{{nerf|Forward smash has increased [[start-up]] (frame 12 → 13), less [[reach]] and reduced base knockback on all angles (38 → 30).}}

*{{buff|Forward smash has reduced cooldown.}}

*{{buff|Up smash is slightly stronger (knockback growth 100 → 102), has reduced cooldown and Kirby's feet are now [[intangible]] during the attack.}}

*{{buff|Down smash is stronger (30 base/100 growth → 25 base/108 growth), has reduced cooldown and Kirby's feet are now intangible for 10 frames during the attack. Its lingering hit also lasts one frame longer.}}

*{{nerf|Down smash now hits vertically on all hitboxes, instead of having [[semi-spike]] hitboxes at the toes, effectively removing its edge-guarding potential.}}

*{{nerf|Neutral air (12%/6% → 10%/8%/6%/4%), back air sourspot (9% → 8%), up air (10% → 9%) and down air (12% → 9%) all deal less damage, with only neutral air and down air having proper knockback compensation.}}

*{{buff|Forward aerial links more reliably, has increased knockback growth (138 → 145) and less [[landing lag]] (15 → 13 frames).}}

*{{change|Back aerial's sweetspot deals 1% more damage (12% → 13%), although its base knockback was reduced to compensate.}}

*{{nerf|Back aerial landing lag has been almost doubled. (9 frames → 17 frames).}}

*{{buff|Down aerial's hits link together better and the landing hitbox produces less knockback, allowing for follow-ups.}}

*{{buff|Down aerial's meteor effect has slightly more growth (107 → 110).}}

*{{change|Kirby has a new grab animation.}}

*{{nerf|Standing grab had its range reduced moderately and dash grab had its range reduced significantly.}}

*{{buff|Standing grab and pivot grab have reduced cooldown.}}

*{{buff|Dash grab comes out slightly faster (frame 10 → 8).}}

*{{buff|Pummel has been sped up and deals slightly more damage (1% → 1.55%).}}

*{{nerf|Forward throw deals less damage (8% → 5%) (knockback somewhat compensated).}}

*{{buff|Forward throw's reduced damage reduces its knockback, and when combined with its new knockback angle and the removal of hitstun canceling, makes it a good combo throw.}}

*{{nerf|Down throw deals less damage (12% → 10%), has drastically increased knockback (10 base/100 growth → 60 base/180 growth), and sends at 63 degrees instead of 90 degrees, weakening any follow-ups. It is now considered among the worst down throws in ''SSB4'' despite receiving a damage increase in update 1.0.6.}}

*{{buff|Back throw is significantly stronger (80 base/50 growth → 30 base/120 growth), making it even stronger than his up throw, and it can also be cancelled out of much sooner, allowing for mix-ups, low percent follow-ups, and tech chasing on certain characters.}}

*{{nerf|Up throw is weaker (70 base/70 growth → 75 base/63 growth).}}

*{{buff|{{b|Inhale|Kirby}} has less start-up and ending lag. Additionally, Inhaling non-explosive items now heals 1% damage for Kirby.}}

*{{nerf|[[Kirbycide]] via Inhale now KOs Kirby first, meaning Kirby will lose instead of winning or tying if he performs it when him and his opponent are on their last stocks; this also releases the opponent and allows them to potentially recover back to the stage. However, there are a set number of characters, when Kirbycided from a certain angle, will cause a [[sudden death]] to occur.}} A sudden death will also occur when using Jumping Inhale to Kirbycide.

*{{change|The damages dealt spitting out and copying enemies with Inhale have been reversed; spitting out enemies now does 6% damage, while copying them does 10% damage.}}

*{{change|Inhale has a whirlwind-like cone which bears a likeness to what is seen from the move in ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby: Triple Deluxe}}''. It also produces sound effects similar to Kirby's inhale and copy sound effects from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', respectively.}}

*{{buff|[[Hammer (move)|Hammer]] can now charge up and release a much more powerful fiery attack known as the Hammer Flip. Kirby can jump and move around while charging it, but keeping it at full charge will deal [[recoil damage]] to Kirby, similarly to {{SSB4|King Dedede}}'s [[Jet Hammer]]. A fully-charged Hammer gives Kirby [[launch resistance]] during part of the swing and deals significantly more shield damage to where it can nearly break full shields.}}

*{{nerf|Hammer has more start-up even when entirely uncharged when airborne, no longer halts his momentum in the air when used, and has reduced knockback and damage unless charged, with the grounded version KOing 44% later uncharged compared to ''Brawl'', and the aerial version KOing 45% and 52% later uncharged compared to the first and second hit in ''Brawl'', respectively.}}

*{{nerf|The blade of [[Final Cutter]] deals less damage and the shockwave produced goes around half the distance.}}

*{{buff|[[Stone]] deals significantly more [[shield damage]] when performed in midair, to where it can nearly break shields.}}  

*{{nerf|Stone now KOs 8% later. Kirby now takes half damage if he gets hit by strong attacks and attacks that deal more damage.}}

*{{change|The {{s|mariowiki|Thwomp}} of [[Stone]] now uses the design from ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}'' instead of ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''.}}

*{{buff|Kirby's Final Smash is now the [[Ultra Sword]] from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Return to Dream Land}}''. Compared to [[Cook Kirby]], while it does not provide restorative items (which is flawed as they can be stolen by the opponent or completely disabled by item settings), Ultra Sword is a trapping move that deals more damage (34% → 40%) and knockback that has actual KO potential, making it vastly superior for offensive use.}}

Initially considered to be a sub-par character, Kirby has been notably buffed via game updates. Update [[1.0.6]] saw his KOing ability being improved, with his up and down smash attacks dealing more knockback and the latter being more effective if his down aerial is used to combo into it. [[Hammer (move)|Hammer Flip]] had its ending lag reduced, thus making it slightly less punishable as well. Update [[1.1.0]] brought about further buffs, with Inhale having its start-up lag reduced, the second jab now connects into his neutral infinite better and his jab finisher comes out quicker, and his forward throw is effective for punishes and now sets up opponents for combos better, which is very useful for Kirby due to his previous lack of a throw that he could combo into. He also benefits from the new shield mechanics in [[1.1.0]] and [[1.1.1]], as it lets him break shields easier thanks to his down aerial's multiple hits and Stone's high damage output and [[hitlag]]. As a result, he is considered to be more viable than he was during the game's initial release.

|pummeldesc=Punches the enemy. Has moderate speed.

|fthrowdesc=Pile Driver from the Suplex ability in ''Kirby Super Star''. Kirby flips and then piledrives the opponent. Can lead into highly damaging combos, such as his forward aerial which can then be further followed up by another grab depending on the opponent's DI.

|bthrowdesc=Backdrop from the Suplex ability in ''Kirby Super Star''. Kirby German suplexes the opponent.  

|uthrowname= 

|uthrowdesc=Air Drop from the Ninja ability in ''Kirby Super Star''. Holds the foe and rapidly jumps off-screen, then rockets back down to the ground, creating an explosion. Kirby's most damaging throw and it can land onto platforms above him.  

|dthrowdesc=Fury Stomp from the Suplex ability in ''Kirby Super Star''. Throws the opponent onto the ground, then rapidly stomps on them several times, and then finishes with a jumping double foot stomp. The stomps also damage nearby opponents.

|floorbdesc=Kirby gets up, then kicks on one side, then the other.

|floortdesc=Kirby gets up then spins around kicking.

|edgedesc=Kirby flips over the edge and kicks.

|nsdefdmg=6% (spit), 10% (swallow)

|nsdefdesc=Kirby sucks up his opponent, which has a grab hitbox and can be held. He can walk around slowly or short hop once a character is inside him (although it can be mashed out of), and then can press the attack button to exhale them as a star to deal damage, or press down or the special move button to copy their neutral special attack. Some characters will give him an alternative special move due to mechanics that would not work properly when copied over, like {{SSB4|Olimar}}'s [[Pikmin Pluck]].

|nsc1desc=From the Ice ability. Kirby exhales cold air, which hits multiple times and can freeze his opponent. Due to the attack only involving exhaling, he cannot Inhale anything in with this move.

|nsc2dmg=5% (spit), 8% (swallow)

|nsc2desc=Kirby jumps forwards before inhaling. If Kirby spits out his opponent, the star will not deal damage. When used to [[Kirbycide]], it causes a [[Sudden Death]].

|ssdefdmg=19% (ground uncharged), 15% (air uncharged), 35% (ground fully charged), 27% (air fully charged)

|ssdefdesc=From the Hammer ability. Kirby swings his hammer forwards in an arc, which increases in power the longer it charges. When the hammer is fully charged, it becomes aflame, gradually damaging Kirby. He can move around and jump while charging this move. Uncharged, it KOs at 127% while grounded and 162% in the air. When fully charged, it KOs at 37% grounded and 71% aerial.

|ssc1dmg=21% (ground head), 18% (ground handle), 4% (air hit 1), 17% (air hit 2 head), 15% (air hit 2 handle)

|ssc1desc=Kirby swings his hammer forwards in an arc, which sends his opponents skyward on contact. This variation does not charge, making it function almost exactly like it did in ''Brawl'', or on the ground in ''Melee''. Using this move in midair causes Kirby to rise slightly, [https://youtu.be/n08pWllI6ZU?t=5s which makes it possible to reach the top of [[Palutena's Temple]] from the bottom platform while using {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s [[Monado Arts|Jump Art]], also this makes it to the point of surpassing the vertical distance of Villager's ballon trip distance.]

|ssc2dmg=22% (ground uncharged), 20% (air uncharged), 40% (ground fully charged), 32% (air fully charged)

|ssc2desc=Kirby swings a massive hammer, which is slower but stronger than his normal one, which can KO Mario at 10%. Kirby has [[super armor]] while charging the hammer.

|usdefdmg=5% (rise), 2% (drop), 5% (landing), 6% (wave)

|usdefdesc=From the Cutter ability. Kirby jumps straight up and falls straight down with a curved blade, cutting anyone he comes in contact with on the way up and meteor smashing anyone he comes in contact with on the way down, causing a shockwave, which is Kirby's only projectile besides using {{b|Inhale|Kirby}}. A good vertical recovery move and has decent horizontal distance when angled. When landing, Kirby creates a shockwave projectile that moves forwards quickly. Cannot [[sweetspot]] the ledge until he starts to fall, and if the platform beneath him disappears (or if he is pushed off) while Kirby is still in the landing animation, he will enter a [[helpless]] state.

|usc1desc=Kirby jumps straight up and falls straight down, creating a shockwave that sends rocks flying outwards. The move only deals damage when Kirby lands on the ground.

|usc2desc=Kirby jumps straight up, cutting anyone he comes in contact with. Stronger than his regular blade and goes higher, but cannot hit anything on the way down, leaving Kirby in a [[helpless]] state, but with most of his momentum.

|dsdefdmg=14% (shockwave), 18% (impact)

|dsdefdesc=From the Stone ability. Kirby turns into a heavy object and plummets straight down, sending enemies flying on contact. It can be cancelled midair with the special button. Kirby cannot be damaged in this form, but can be grabbed and has a set (although very high) durabilitly. Stone KOs at 108%. Can almost break a shield when used in midair.

|dsc1dmg=6% (shockwave), 10% (impact on grounded opponents), 12% (impact on airborne opponents)

|dsc1desc=Kirby turns into a heavy object and plummets straight down. Kirby takes longer to transform, but takes less time transforming back, and grounded enemies are buried on contact.

|dsc2desc=Kirby turns into a heavy object and plummets straight down. Kirby takes longer to transform back, but he will meteor smash any enemies he hits while falling.

|fsdesc=From the Ultra Sword Super Ability. Kirby takes out a gigantic sword and repeatedly slashes the opponent. If the move connects, he will teleport around them while slashing at them multiple times. He finishes the move with a powerful hit from a further enlarged sword. This move is similar to [[Great Aether]].

===Taunts===

*'''Side Taunt''': Spins around, then stops, sticking out his left leg and saying "Eeu!". Almost identical to the "preview" animation shown when he is chosen in the original ''Super Smash Bros.''.

===Idle Poses===

*Sleeps for a while, then shakes his head and wakes up again.

*Hops a bit to look back, then hops again returning to normal position.

===On-Screen Appearance===

Kirby rides in on a [[Warp Star]] and crashes down.

===Victory Fanfare===

A remix directly from ''Brawl''. Originally debuting in ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Dream Land}}'', it is a remix of the short recurring theme that plays when Kirby completes a stage or defeats a boss. It is shared with {{SSB4|King Dedede}}.

==Down Taunt Glitches==

There exist two [[glitch]]es with Kirby's down taunt.

If the player fights certain CPUs, [[Inhale (Kirby)|copies]] the opponent, gathers a [[Smash Ball]], and performs a [[taunt|down taunt]], Kirby's eyes should no longer be glowing. This works with:

Interestingly, when the player copies the ability again after using the Final Smash or [[self-destruct]]ing (excluding Mr. Game & Watch), Kirby's eyes will be glowing.

NoGlowingEyesKirby.JPG|Kirby with the Final Smash aura, but no glowing eyes

===[[Pac-Maze]] Ω Form===

If the player enters Training mode on Pac-Maze's Ω form, sets the camera to "Zoom", and performs Kirby's down taunt, Kirby's face should glitch out and "disappear". This is because, during his down taunt, Kirby leans his body away from the stage, so that his face sticks out; the zoomed in camera makes his face [[wikipedia:Clipping (computer graphics)|clip]] through the line of gameplay.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsnKz4zp3y8</ref> Giving Kirby a [[Poison Mushroom]] causes almost all of his body to clip through the line of gameplay.

*Kirby cannot copy [[custom special moves]], even if he swallows a character that has them equipped.

** Despite this, he has voice clips for all of Palutena's available neutral specials, suggesting that either he was able to copy customs at one point in development, or that it was not yet decided which of Palutena's moves would be the defaults.

**In addition, his side custom affects his {{SSB4|Olimar}} [[List of Copy Abilities|copy ability]], as the attack changes to match the variant of [[Pikmin Throw]].

*''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is the first game in the series in which Kirby does not have a different [[dash attack]], as he retains his dash attack from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.

*Kirby's alternate trophy in {{for3ds}} shows his gray alternate color as having blue eyes, but it has gray eyes in-game.

*Kirby has the most sound clips of any character, totalling 77, rivalled only by the [[Announcer]].

*Kirby's Screen KO in the 3DS version of the game has a very similar appearance to when he is slammed into the screen on his own game, ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', also on Nintendo 3DS.

**However, it is worth noting that Kirby's body pose on the 3DS resembles the one in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' more than the Wii U, but his face on the Wii U resembles his face in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' more than on 3DS.

*The Blue palette swap for Kirby depicts him as having a red mouth on the selection screen and during his normal expressions, but it appears blue when he is inhaling.

*Kirby's mouth shape in his down taunt is different in the final game compared to the screenshots.
