Kirby is ranked 50th out of 55 on the current [[tier list]], | Kirby is ranked 50th out of 55 on the current [[tier list]], thus going into the F tier. This is a big drop from his placement in Brawl, where he was ranked 20th out of 38 characters. Among his strengths are fast attacks for naturally-flowing [[combo]]s, including up tilt, forward throw, and down aerial – the latter of which is also a great KO set-up attack – and good [[edgeguard]]ing ability thanks to his versatile forward aerial and powerful back aerial. Kirby's multitude of [[jump]]s allow him to [[recovery|recover]] from long distances and mix up his landings. His small size also makes him difficult to hit, especially while [[crouch]]ing, and he can flexibly and efficiently [[KO]] opponents with his powerful [[smash attacks]] and back aerial. | ||
However, this comes at the cost of poor endurance. Kirby is one of the [[weight|lightest]] and [[falling speed|floatiest]] characters in the game, and his recovery, despite its distance, is linear and predictable. Kirby's mobility and [[approach]] are very poor, as he is slow, floaty, and lacks an effective [[projectile]]. He also has poor [[reach]] in most of his attacks due to his small size and short limbs. | However, this comes at the cost of poor endurance.
