Kirby's mobility both on the ground and in the air has been noticeably reduced; which has subsequently hindered his [[approach]]. The weakening of [[pivot]]s have also made Kirby's approach worse and he doesn't benefit too much from the introduction of [[air dodging]]; due to his high traction and low falling speed. As a result of this, he has an unimpressive [[wavedash]]. When combined with many returning veterans having greater approach potential, this has made his approach among the worst in the game; especially in the air. | Kirby's mobility both on the ground and in the air has been noticeably reduced; which has subsequently hindered his [[approach]].

In general, Kirby has suffered from ''Melee{{'}}s'' universal changes. Apart from the changes to pivoting, Kirby has greatly suffered from the changes to [[shield]]s. While Kirby is less vulnerable to shield pressure, his own shield pressure is much worse due to the universal reduction to [[shieldstun]] and shield damage. Because of this, Kirby's attacks are much less safe on shield (with Kirby lacking any moves which even leave him at a frame advantage on shield | In general, Kirby has suffered from ''Melee{{'}}s'' universal changes. Apart from the changes to pivoting, Kirby has greatly suffered from the changes to [[shield]]s. While Kirby is less vulnerable to shield pressure, his own shield pressure is much worse due to the universal reduction to [[shieldstun]] and shield damage. Because of this, Kirby's attacks are much less safe on shield (with Kirby lacking any moves which even leave him at a frame advantage on shield) with the reduced damage/increased ending lag on multiple moves along with the weakening of [[L-cancel]]ling only further exacerbating this. Because of this, Kirby can no longer perform any [[shield break combo]]s and his attacks are generally much more punishable. In addition, Kirby's out of shield options are also worse largely due to his new neutral aerial; which is much weaker, slower and has less range than his previous neutral aerial. When combined with his shield drop being longer, this means that Kirby either has to use his grab or back aerial to punish a majority of moves out of shield. | ||
Kirby's damage output and KO potential have also been sharply reduced (even relative to the cast). A majority of Kirby's moves have reduced KO power, such as his smash attacks, neutral aerial, back aerial, his up throw (his previous forward throw) and [[Stone]]. When combined with his lower damage output on most of his moves, this significantly hinders his ability to rack up damage and close out stocks. His smash attacks are slower and weaker, making them less reliable and more difficult KO moves to land. While his new up aerial is rather powerful, it is offset by how difficult it is to combo characters. | Kirby's damage output and KO potential have also been sharply reduced (even relative to the cast).
