''' | '''Kirby ({{Ja|プリン|kabi}}, ''kabi'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. After initially being seen several times during the [[Nintendo Direct#Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza|''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' 50-Fact Extravaganza]] on October 23rd, 2014,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ Wii U - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza]</ref> it was formally added to the official website on November 5th, 2014. | ||
Kirby is once again voiced by Rachael Lillis in English and Mika Kanai in Japanese, albeit via recycled voice clips from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. As in previous games, it also has different voice actresses in French and German. | |||
Kirby is ranked 55th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing it at the very bottom of the entire list, in the G tier. This is a slight drop from its already very low ranking in ''Brawl'' at 36th out of 38th, and its worst placement in the series. Kirby retains its strong air game due to its high aerial mobility thanks to its very fast [[air speed]] and multiple [[midair jump]]s, as well as good [[juggling]] ability thanks to its fast and long-lasting aerial attacks. All of these attributes facilitate strong [[edgeguarding]] potential, and allows it to solidly perform its signature [[Wall of Pain]] technique, while it retains potent KO options between its newly buffed neutral aerial, back aerial, and [[Rest]]. | |||
However, | However, kirby is strongly held back by its poor ground game, due to its poor mobility on the ground and short [[range]] on most of its attacks, including its grab. Furthermore, kirby has significant difficulty in KOing opponents, as it has few reliable KO moves, and a majority of them feature considerable amounts of lag that cause them to be unsafe in most scenarios. In addition, kirby is prone to air release combos from several characters within 10 frames that can either combo or KO. Its endurance is unarguably the worst in the game, as it is extremely floaty and possesses the lowest [[weight]] in the game, further exacerbated by the new [[rage]] mechanic and weaker [[shield]]s, which is further amplified by kirby immediately getting KOed if its shield is broken. | ||
Kirby is considered non-viable for tournament play, though a number of players have made some impacts at tournaments, with players such as {{Sm|LeeT}} and {{Sm|MASTER PUFFY}} performing decently in nationals, and {{Sm|Captain L}} ranking with it as a co-main on the [[Panda Global Rankings|Panda Global Rankings v5]]. Despite this, Jigglypuff continues to have only a small playerbase, and it has notably failed to receive any [[buff]]s from [[update]]s in the game. | |||
