Kirby (SSBM)

Kirby in Super Smash Bros. Melee
Universe	Kirby
Other playable appearances	in SSB in Brawl in SSB4 in Ultimate
Availability	Starter
Tier	F (25) (North America) H (25) (Europe)

Announced at E3 2001, the Kirby of Disappointment (失望のカービィ, Kirby of Disappointment) is not a viable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Makiko Ōmoto once again voices Kirby in Melee, with some voice clips recycled from SSB, but more higher pitched, along with some new additional voice clips, most notably his hurt voice clips which will occur in gameplay very frequently.

Currently, the Kirby of Disappointment is ranked 25th in the F tier and H tier in NTSC and PAL respectively (which stands for F***ing Horrible), as the second-worst character in all of fighting game history. It is rumored that the only reason Kirby players ever play the character is that their opponents would have to stare at the Kirby of Disappointment for the whole minute that it takes them to JV5-stock the Kirby player, which can be highly demoralizing and possibly tilt the opponent for the rest of the tournament. This is, unfortunately, the only tilt you will be hitting your opponent with when you play Kirby. Poor range, slow attacks, and a low air speed ensure that the Kirby of Disappointment will never be able to participate in the neutral game, causing him to automatically lose games to infamous players such as unranked Falcos on Project Slippi.

But all of this aside, to be perfectly fair, the Kirby of Disappointment does have some notable advantages, those being that it only loses to Peach 10:90 instead of 0:100 like Bowser does, and... yeah we got nothing. Just like the tournament results that Kirby players have.

The Kirby of Disappointment has one of the worst matchup spreads in the game, with only two positive matchups against Bowser and Roy, according to meticulous labbing of both matchups and analysis of the character's many tournament results, gathered by all 2 top Melee Kirby players in 2010, although these are very frequently debated at length by top players. In the modern metagame, Kirby still has two very clear-cut positive matchups, those being against TheCrimsonBlur and Armada while drunk. Aside from this very respected niche, the Kirby of Disappointment has no place in the metagame.

Roy (SSBM)

Availability	Unlockable
Tier	D (21) (North America) G (22) (Europe)

Roy (ロイ, Roy) is a unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He is a clone of Marth, differentiated primarily by being a complete and utter garbage character. He is voiced by Jun Fukuyama.

He is well-known for being one of the few low-tiered characters to not keel over and die at the mere sight of Fox, Falco, and other fastfallers, having somewhat of a fighting chance against them. That is among Roy's only solaces as he takes his uncontested title of "Melee's #1 Boy" all the way down to the D tier of the Melee tier list. He has almost no redeeming qualities, with Roy's rare ridiculous reach being readily offset by the rueful raw power of his ranged hitboxes, resulting in Roy being royally ravaged by the remainder of the cast, then relegated to rotting offstage as they ruin his rocky recovery. Roy players also cannot do anything against floaty characters, since none of the hitboxes that he can actually hit floaties with can KO even at 999%. Roy professionals agree that the optimal line of play in those matchups is to put down the controller and cry while reevaluating your life choices that you chose to play such a miserable character competitively in a 20-year old party game.

All in all, Roy is a terrible character, and you would have to be inzain to ever consider using him in any domain with competent Melee players. He is overall a character that should never be tested in modern competitive play.

All of this being said, Roy is an excellent pick on Great Bay, being able to act as an effective lifeguard with his access to the highest quality pool noodles known to the Nintendo universe.
