Currently, Kirby is ranked in the F tier at 26th place, at the very bottom of the tier list. Among Kirby's best attributes include the ability to perform Kirbycide and a rather good edgeguard game, especially when combined with his [[Fence of Pain]]. Additionally, Kirby has a very good defensive game, due to his small size. However, Kirby's overall power has been strongly nerfed from the previous game. A majority of his attacks are considerably weaker and have smaller sweetspots, making Kirby's KO options now few and far between. Kirby also has awful approach options, due to a poor SHFFL and the lack of a good projectile without copying one from [[Inhale]], and went from having one of the best combo abilities in ''SSB64'' to one of the worst in ''Melee''.

This, combined with a rather predictable recovery and an ease of being comboed because of his poor hitstun leads to Kirby to have generally abysmal matchups against other characters, with seven very unfavorable matchups; despite this, and his last place ranking, he does have two favorable matchups against {{SSBM|Bowser}} and {{SSBM|Roy}}. | ||
