Attributes

Kirby retains a very similar fighting style from the previous Smash games.

Changes from SSB4

Kirby has been greatly buffed from SSB4.

Attributes

  • Buff Kirby's feet are larger, giving him better range in his attacks.
  • Change Kirby is slightly heavier (77 → 78), making him slightly harder to K.O., but slightly easier to combo.
  • Buff Kirby's mid-air jumps give slightly more height while his grounded jump is moderately higher.
  • Buff Kirby's walks faster (0.93 → 0.98).
  • Buff Kirby's air speed is much faster (0.80 → 1.10).
  • Buff Kirby's air acceleration is higher (0.065 → 0.075).
  • Change Kirby falls slightly slower (1.23 → 1.21).
  • Buff Kirby's traction is higher (0.0493 → .063).

Ground attacks

  • Buff Up tilt's clean hit deals 1% more damage (5%/4% → 6%/5%).
  • Buff Forward smash comes out 1 frame faster (13 → 12).
  • Buff Up smash comes out 3 frames faster (14 → 11).
  • Buff Down smash semi-spikes at the tips of his feet, giving him another edge-guarding tool.

Aerial attacks

  • Buff Back aerial's base knockback slightly increased and has decreased landing lag (17 → 8 frames).
  • Buff Up aerial deals 3% more damage, and is much stronger, K.O.ing mid-weights at 160%.
  • Buff Down aerial deals much more damage (9% → 16%) and comes out much faster (frame 18 → 6).

Throws/other attacks

  • Buff Standing and dash grab have better range.
  • Buff Down throw's knockback significantly decreased, making it a reliable follow up throw.

Special attacks

  • Buff Airborne Final Cutter's vertical distance matches it's grounded version, making a better vertical recovery.

On-screen appearance

Kirby rides in on a Warp Star and crashes down.

Taunts

  • Up taunt: A Kirby Dance similar to his victory dances in the Kirby games.
  • Side taunt: Spins around, then stops, sticking out his left leg and saying "Eeu!". Almost identical to the "preview" animation shown when he is chosen in the original Super Smash Bros.
  • Down taunt: Faces the screen, waves his arms, and says his signature elongated "Hi!".

Victory poses

A remix directly from Brawl. Originally debuting in Kirby's Dream Land, it is a remix of the short recurring theme that plays when Kirby completes a stage or defeats a boss.
  • Spins and holds his hand up.
  • Does some flips, then holds his hand up.
  • Skids to each side, then holds his hand up.
    • All of Kirby's animations are variations of the Kirby Dance, performed when he completes a level in his games.
