Talk:Kirby (SSBM)

The "Impress your Friends Section" should be deleted. Reason: This is not an actual combo. Also The Edgeguard Technique section doesn't work that well. Please add extra. KoRoBeNiKi

Notable Players

Petition to add "your best friend's little brother" to the notable players section. Ryxis (talk) 04:01, 14 November 2013 (EST)

All of our little siblings use Kirby and spam Stone. :P But the notable players section is for professionals who have made tournament impact with Kirby (that's a laugh, I'm sure almost none of them have) or have escalated Kirby to relatively high levels of play. --Timson622222 (talk) 18:58, 14 November 2013 (EST)

Is it really necessary

To have all those Kirby mains down there? I haven't heard of half these people. --Timson622222 (talk) 00:13, 23 March 2014 (EDT)

Considering how Marth's page lists fourteen professionals and this page lists twelve professionals, I'm willing to bet most of this list is superfluous. I know little about competitive Melee, however, so I can't be a particularly good judge of who's notable or not (or whether or not they even use Kirby frequently enough in the first place).

Marth's page lists 14 13 well-known professionals that have placed extremely well in tournament with him, or showed exceptional ability to perform against top professionals. This list details a bunch of vague, possibly pro-am, smashers who have probably played Kirby for a few months or a year and then dropped him or left the game, or just played him in friendlies, not in an actual tournament bracket. I'd look up each of these individual smashers right now to check their legitimacy but I'm occupied with other things at the moment. --Timson622222 (talk) 00:21, 23 March 2014 (EDT)

International

Since SSB has international sections (such as Jousuke's DK) shouldnt the same happen for SSBM and SSBB and PM?

Why is Kirby low tier?

Why is Kirby ranked worse than Pichu?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.109.224.51 (talk • contribs) 10:53, 6 May 2015‎

The article explains it in detail, but to sum it up: he's too slow in terms of both movement and attack speed, plus he has poor reach, so he can't approach or combo very well at all. Pichu at least has decent speed and combo ability, although it can still be argued that Pichu's abysmal endurance makes it the worst character. By the way, please sign your comments with four tildes.

In addition, Kirby's KOing power is also among the worst in the game (In a game where KOing protential is important) and his recovery is very predictable as well as his very light weight and floatiness makes him very easy to edge guard. He also has only one or two moves that are at least somewhat decent from of his mediocre moveset and even then I think Kirby is outclassed by half of the cast in Melee.
