Patches 6.0.0 and 8.0.0 gave Kirby some major improvements, including more KO power and versatility to his aerial attacks, partially restoring his ability to follow-up on platforms, and gaining additional options for kill confirms. Despite these positives, however, Kirby's player base remained small and he sees little results outside of dedicated mains such as {{Sm|Jesuischoq}} and {{Sm|Ferretkuma}}. As such, although some players believe Kirby has mid-tier potential due to having some niche top-tier matchups, most players still consider Kirby to be low tier at best. | Patches 6.0.0 and 8.0.0 gave Kirby some major improvements, including more KO power and versatility to his aerial attacks, partially restoring his ability to follow-up on platforms, and gaining additional options for kill confirms.

Kirby's perception has interestingly grown more positive in the recent meta with many players placing Kirby in varied sections of lower-mid tier, which is a notable improvement compared to his perceived bottom tier status during the game's initial release. Ultimately, Kirby is generally viewed as a much more potent and improved character compared to initial release with his potential viability and placement in the meta being a topic for debate. | |||
