Template:Character Kirby is a character in both SSB and SSBM.

Pros & Cons

The following list only applies to the SSBM version of Kirby.

Pros

• Decent horizontal and excellent vertical recovery
• Opponents generally have less experience fighting against Kirby, because there are so few competitive Kirby users.
• High range
• Lowest crouch in the game (can duck under most characters' grabs)
• Quick attacks
• Good defensive abilities
• Large shield in relation to body size
• Multiple jumps allow for more aggressive edge-guarding
• He counters Falcon and Sheik
• He's not top tier cheese like he was in the original SSB

Cons

• Generally weak moves, hard to get KOs off
• Many situations in which all jumps will disappear
• Light, thus easy to KO
• Very few ways to approach, due to a slow dash and air movement
• Escapable forward and back throws.
