Kirby (SSB): Difference between revisions

Kirby is a small, floaty, and lightweight character. This means he is difficult to [[combo]], but easy to KO (especially by a [[star KO]]). His signature move is [[Inhale#Kirby|Swallow]], which allows him to use an opponent's neutral special attack. Kirby is also known for his amazing recovery (5 mid-air jumps, the fastest [[air speed]] along with [[Jigglypuff (SSB)|Jigglypuff]], and the [[Final Cutter]] jump). His down special move, [[Stone]], makes Kirby difficult to [[juggle]] despite being light and floaty, but it leaves Kirby vulnerable when changing back to normal. Kirby has many high [[priority]] disjointed hitboxes, but his non-disjointed moves (jointed moves) have low priority. Kirby's attacks generally have surprisingly long range, high damage, and extreme speed. Kirby also has good edge-guarding tactics, several [[shield break]]er combos, and two [[spike]]s. Kirby can combo opponents to very high damage with the use of only a few moves (although his forward aerial can be escaped with [[Directional Influence|DI]]). Kirby is known as the "noob" character in the smashboards community, as people can spam up tilts and short hop down airs in order to beat many characters. Kirby's main weakness is a campy Fox or Mario, followed by a Pikachu or a well spacing Jigglypuff. Kirby is also one of the best characters in teams, due to Kirby's easy combos and quick edgeguards.
