Kirihara ({{ja|キリハラ|Kirihara}}) is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' player from Tokyo, Japan. Although he currently plays {{SSBU|Sheik}}, he is better known for playing {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}} in the early metagame, and was the second-best Rosaline & Luma player in the world after {{Sm|Dabuz}}, with his best known performances being his victory at {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 1}}, the first national-level victory for a Rosalina & Luma player, and his run to 4th at {{Trn|Umebura SP 5}} defeating {{Sm|KEN}}, {{Sm|Nietono}}, and {{Sm|ProtoBanham}}. However since switching to Sheik, he has failed to capture results on-par with his Rosalina & Luma performances.


'''Kirihara''' ({{ja|キリハラ|Kirihara}}) is an ''[[Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Sheik}} player from Tokyo, Japan, and was considered the best {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}} player in Japan when he mained the character. He has wins over players such as {{Sm|T}}, {{Sm|KEN}}, {{Sm|ProtoBanham}}, {{Sm|Nietono}}, {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|Umeki}}, {{Sm|HIKARU}}, and {{Sm|Lea}}. He was formerly ranked 48th on the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]].
In {{forwiiu}}, Kirihara was considered the second-best {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}} player of all-time, once again after Dabuz. He is best known for winning {{Trn|Frame Perfect Series 2}} double-eliminating {{Sm|ZeRo}}, making him the first Rosalina & Luma player to win a major and doing so a week before Dabuz's victory at {{Trn|2GGC: Civil War}}. Although he never won another major afterwards, he remained a frequent threat to make top 8 at majors and came close to winning several other large events, such as those in the {{Trn|Umebura|series}} series.
 
In ''[[SSB4]]'', Kirihara was considered the best {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}} player in Japan and one of the best in the world, along with {{Sm|Dabuz}} and {{Sm|falln}}. Kirihara is currently ranked 6th on the [[JAPAN Power Rankings]] and 28th on the [[Panda Global Rankings 100]].<!--Please keep the PGR list second.--> He has taken sets off of many top players in ''Smash 4'' such as {{Sm|ZeRo}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, KEN, {{Sm|VoiD}}, {{Sm|Elegant}}, Abadango, and {{Sm|komorikiri}}. At {{Trn|Frame Perfect Series 2}}, he double-eliminated ZeRo and became the 2nd Japanese player to win an American national, after Abadango's {{Trn|Pound 2016}} victory.


==Playstyle==
==Playstyle==
Line 22: Line 25:


Another aspect of Kirihara's playstyle is his exceptionally proficient edge-guarding. He has demonstrated a distinctive ability to react to his opponent's recovery options, and cover them appropriately. He will often follow his opponent's offstage, and attempt to pressure and gimp them in the process. Kirihara's utilisation of Luma extends to his edge-guarding, as he often uses Luma's large and disjointed hitboxes to catch recoveries below the ledge, or to snipe players offstage from afar. As well, his ability to react to his opponent's ledge options, and force them back offstage further contributes to his aggressive offstage play.
