Announced at E3 2001, Kirby (カービィ, Kirby) is a starter character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Although tier-wise, he was the second-to-top character in Super Smash Bros. topped only by Pikachu, in Super Smash Bros. Melee, he has been severely nerfed.

Currently, Kirby is ranked 26th in the G tier at the very bottom, a huge drop from his 2nd position in Smash 64 and his worst placement in the series. While he has several throw options into Kirbycide and a decent edgeguarding game, Kirby's approach and KO ability are among the worst in the game; slow attacks, a low air speed, an ineffective projectile in Final Cutter, and numerous other flaws both on the ground and in the air prevent Kirby from easily approaching enemies, and he struggles against almost all characters as a result of this. Kirby currently has terrible overall matchups, with seven matchups that are near unwinnable, and only two positive matchups (against Bowser and Roy), and even these can be disputed at length.

Attributes

Kirby acts as a light, weak character that is intended to outmaneuver opponents. While having an average dashing speed but terrible air speed (being tied with Ganondorf as the 3rd worst in Melee), Kirby's small size is intended to act as his primary way to approach. Owing to his low falling speed and high short hop, Kirby has a poor SHFFL, while his high traction gives him a short wavedash.

Despite his poor air speed, Kirby has an above average edgeguarding game. With no one to edgeguard him, Kirby can easily recover due to his multiple midair jumps, while Kirby's back air can be used as a rather powerful edgeguarding technique, the Fence of Pain. Assuming Kirby can knock opponents off the edge, he should theoretically have little trouble keeping them from recovering.

Owing to his small size, Kirby also has an above-average defensive game. His small hitboxes can potentially allow him to avoid attacks, while his small size also lends itself to a large shield, making Kirby relatively safe from shield stabbing. A low crouch also makes his hitboxes even smaller, and it can be compounded with his down tilt as a potential camping and spacing tactic, as crouching makes him able to avoid most jabs.

Kirby also has above average tilt attacks as well, as Kirby's three tilts, while short-ranged, have a variety of practical applications; his forward tilt and aforementioned down tilt can act as spacing tools, while his up tilt can potentially be used as a combo starter. Kirby also has an above average grab range, allowing him to potentially use his powerful and unusual throws to his advantage; a notable application of his up, back, and forward throws involves Kirbycide, a specific type of Sacrificial KO that forces both Kirby and his opponent to lose a stock. This technique is able to KO opponents at any percentage.

Despite these benefits, Kirby's most fatal flaw, which is often cited as the reason for his bottom tier placement, is his nearly nonexistent approach. With a poor SHFFL, short wavedash, terrible air speed, short range, a laggy, predictable dash attack, and no viable projectiles, Kirby has extreme difficulty in approaching almost all of the cast; this is especially prevalent against characters with disjointed hitboxes (such as Marth) or powerful pressure games (such as Falco). The lack of a projectile can uniquely be rectified if Kirby uses Inhale on an opponent; doing so, however, is risky, due to the attack's start-up and cool-down lag, and some characters will either fail to give him a useful projectile (such as Link) or a projectile in the first place (such as Captain Falcon). Kirby's small size can also make some attacks inferior to the original character; Fireball from Mario, for instance, has the Fireballs disappear more quickly than Mario's, as Kirby's lower height causes them to reach the ground faster and to have less kinetic energy when they finally hit the ground.

Assuming he can approach opponents, however, Kirby's various attributes also give him very poor combo ability; a low air speed prevents him from easily pursuing enemies in the air, and all of his aerials either have long startup and cooldown periods (down and neutral air), high knockback (up and back air), or poor hitbox placement (forward air). Kirby's only noteworthy combo is his Fence of Pain as mentioned earlier, and even this combo is inferior to Jigglypuff's Wall of Pain due to Kirby's significantly slower air speed, making it risky to use. Kirby's wild card is his aforementioned Kirbycide technique, and even this is unreliable; his up throw requires proper placement at the edge of a stage, and Kirby always loses when performed in a last stock situation. While his forward and back throws are much easier to perform and Kirby always wins when performed in a last stock situation, they are the only throws in the entire Smash series that can be potentially broken out of. As a result, if the opponent can button mash out of the grab and throw quick enough, they will remain unharmed while Kirby loses a stock.

Outside of his abysmal approach, Kirby also heavily struggles with KOing other characters. A majority of Kirby's finishers suffer from poor range (such as his down smash) or have small sweetspots that make them unreliable (such as his Hammer and up smash). Arguably Kirby's only effective finisher is his up aerial, which itself requires a proper read and correct timing from the player in order to be a low-risk attack.

As a final disadvantage working against Kirby, he has major survivability issues, with his endurance being on par with Mr. Game & Watch and Pichu for the worst in Melee. Having among the lowest weights in the game alongside a low falling speed causes Kirby to be easily KOed from both the upper and horizontal blast lines (Fox is especially notorious in the former category). Outside of this, Kirby's recovery is also slow, linear, and predictable, despite granting decent distance as a result of his multiple midair jumps; once again, Kirby is negatively impacted by his poor air speed, and Final Cutter grants almost no horizontal distance, coupled with being very easy to edgeguard against.

Changes from Smash 64 to Melee

Kirby was known as one of the most dominant characters in Smash 64, in part to to his amazing power, attack speed, range and priority on his attacks, as well as the majority of them dealing very high shield damage. In stark contrast to this, Kirby was overwhelmingly nerfed in his transition to Melee: Kirby's nerfs primarily damaged his excellent finishers and good approach, courtesy of the previously fast attack speed he previously had, which was also slowed down, to the point of having some of the slowest moves in the game. Also, as a result of his slower attack speed, his already limited combo potential was also downgraded, and it is further compounded by the changes of L-canceling. His attacks, while still pretty damaging, also deal less damage, and even though this nerf is shared between most veterans, it arguably hurts Kirby the most due to his aforementioned limited combo potential, despite his fast attack speed in the previous game. Several of Kirby's attacks have been also changed to reflect the series of games, though the majority of them was for the worse, prime examples being his dash attack, which has slower startup and can now make him fall off ledges and platforms, and his new forward throw, which alongside his back throw, can now be escaped during its animation. Lastly, Kirby also suffers from a significantly worse survivability, as due to the faster falling speeds than in Smash 64, his recovery is worse than in the previous game when coupled with his slower air speed and Final Cutter gaining less recovery distance, making him easier to gimp and KO than in the previous game.

Kirby has got some other small, various buffs, such as his throws being able to jump off a platform or the stage for what is commonly known as a Kirbycide. However, the buffs fail to address his lack of reliable combos or significant survivability issues from the previous game, which makes Kirby not only one of the few characters to get truly nerfed from Smash 64, but also unarguably the most nerfed character from that game to Melee, and possibly the most nerfed one in all of the series. As a result, he is non-viable in competitive play.

Attributes

• Kirby generally is slower, weaker, and easier to combo, while he also has largely reduced combo ability and less range.
• Kirby is slightly heavier (68 → 70), improving his endurance but making him easier to combo.
• His already low air speed has been decreased even more (28 → 0.78), making his recovery much easier to gimp.
• Kirby's walking (0.35 → 0.85) and dashing speeds (48 → 1.4) are signifcantly slower, hindering his ability to keep with opponents.
• His falling speed was significantly decreased (48 → 1.6), which hinders his endurance, but making him harder to combo and thus improves his recovery.

Ground attacks

• All angles of forward tilt now deals consistent damage (11% up/10% non-angle/9% down → 11%).
• Up tilt deals significantly less damage (14% clean/10% late → 8%/6%), is slower, has less range (though still slightly disjointed), is a less reliable juggling and combo move, and can no longer be used for shield break combos due to its lower damage output.
• Down tilt deals 1% more damage (9% → 10%).
• Kirby has a new dash attack: he lunges forward in a fiery spiraling headbutt. It deals less damage (10% clean/8% late → 8%/5%), it is much more laggy and easier to punish, and no longer does extra shield damage.
• Forward smash's late hit deals 1% more damage (12% → 13%).
• Forward smash has much more startup and ending lag, no longer being the fastest in the game, and the clean hit deals less damage (17% → 15%) and is drastically weaker, going from the strongest forward smash in Smash 64 to among the weakest in Melee. It also no longer deals extra shield damage.
• Up smash deals less damage overall (16% clean/12% late → 15%/13% clean, 14%/12% mid, 13%/12% late).
• Sweetspotted up smash has a slash effect.
• Clean down smash deals less damage (18% → 14%).

Aerial attacks

• Kirby's previous up aerial from Smash 64 has been moved to his neutral aerial.
  • As a result, neutral aerial is laggier and weaker, as well as dealing less damage and losing its landing hitbox (15% clean/10% late/3% landing → 10% clean/8% mid/6% late).
• Kirby has a new forward aerial: he kicks three times in front of him, instead of drilling in front of him. It has less damage potential if all hits connect (20% → 5% hits 1-2/8% hit 3/≈16.83% if all hits connect).
• Back aerial has a slightly different animation, removing the hitbox in front of Kirby. It also deals 2% less damage (16% clean/12% late → 14/12%).
• To compensate for his old up aerial, Kirby has a new one: a bicycle kick. It deals much more and consistent damage (10% clean/8% mid/6% late → 15%) and is much more powerful, making it his best KO move.
• Down aerial deals less hits, making it deal less damage if all hits connect. Its landing hitbox deals 1% less damage (3% → 2%) and the hitbox now appears, even when L-cancelled, making it more difficult to combo with. The move's drill is also slower, making the meteor smash less reliable for edgeguarding, and the first few hits also no longer have high power, meaning the last hit must be landed to properly utilize the meteor smash.

Grab and throws

• Kirby has a new forward throw: he suplexes the opponent forward. It is based on the Pile Driver from the Suplex ability. It deals less damage (13% → 8%).
• Kirby's new forward throw and back throw can now be escaped before the animation ends, leaving him vulnerable and wide open to a punish.
• Back and forward throws can now Kirbycide.
• Back throw deals halved damage (16% → 8%) and is much less powerful.
• Kirby's previous forward throw from Smash 64 has been moved to his up throw.
  • It was weakened during his transition (13% → 10%).
• As with the returning veterans, Kirby has gained a down throw: he stomps furiously on the opponent. It is based on the Fury Stomp from the Suplex ability.
• All ledge attacks deal more damage (4% → 6%).

Other attacks

• All ledge attacks deal more damage (4% → 6%).
• Kirby has a new slow ledge attack: he does a split kick instead of a lunging headbutt. It has slightly more horizontal range, but less vertical range.

Special attacks

• Kirby can now walk after Inhaling an opponent. Swallowing an opponent to obtain its copy ability also deals more damage (6% → 8%).
• A spat opponent now deals damage based on its weight rather than consistent damage independent of the opponent (17% → 8-19%), making it less reliable in doubles or free-for-alls.
• As with the returning veterans, Kirby has gained a side special: Hammer. Kirby takes out a hammer and swings it. It has a powerful sweetspot and can be used in the air also to quickly rack up damage after a forward throw.
• Final Cutter can now grab edges while Kirby is facing the opposite direction.
• Final Cutter gains a shorter distance, which along with Kirby's lower air speed, further hampers Kirby's recovery. Both the hitbox while dropping and the wave are also weaker, and the wave no longer does extra shield damage.
• Stone deals slightly less damage (20% → 18%).
• Stone can change Kirby into five objects, as opposed to one.

PAL differences

Like other characters, Kirby received some changes in the PAL version of Melee, which slightly buffed him overall, but are not enough to heavily affect his tournament results.

• Weight increased (70 → 74).
• Dashing speed increased (1.4 → 1.5).
• A clean dash attack deals 1% more damage (8% → 9%).
• Dash attack has decreased knockback scaling (66 → 50), making it slightly weaker despite its higher damage.
• Forward aerial has 2 frames less of landing lag (1 frame less of L-cancelled landing lag).

Matchups

Super Smash Bros. Melee Character Matchups

Avg.

Kirby has one of the worst matchups spreads in the game. He currently has only two positive matchups (against Bowser and Roy), has two even matchups (against Link and Pichu) is soft countered by four characters, countered by ten (the 2nd most out of any character, behind Roy), and hard countered by seven (2nd most behind Pichu). Even in the early metagame of Melee, Kirby suffered from his terrible approach, lack of KO ability, slow overall speed, and severe vulnerability to KOs.

Tier placement and history

Kirby has historically always ranked very low on Melee tier lists; compared to Pikachu, Kirby's nerf from Super Smash Bros. was much more significant, removing almost all of the aspects that made him dominant in the original Smash Bros. and leaving him with considerably fewer options in both offense and defense. Players immediately noticed that Kirby was left with poor KOing power, a poor approach, and a severe vulnerability to edgeguarding and premature falls due to his light weight, low air speed and predictable, telegraphed recovery. Owing to Kirby's significant drawbacks, there have been only a few professional smashers that have developed his metagame for serious play, with a large number of them failing to place notably in large tournaments. While more prolific Kirby mains were active in the past, such as t1mmy and Omnigamer, there exist few such professionals in present-day professional Melee, causing Kirby's metagame to remain highly stagnant. Additionally, even prior to the stagnation of his metagame, Kirby was seen as a fighter who relied too heavily on gimmicks and the opponent's severe lack of matchup experience to win matches.

As a result of this stagnancy and Kirby's numerous flaws, Kirby has consistently ranked as one of Melee's worst fighters, with some smashers even claiming that Kirby's potential is worse than that of Pichu, a fighter that injures itself with almost all of its attacks. This argument reflects in Kirby's current tier placement; he is currently ranked last at 26th place on the current tier list, making him the least viable character in the current Melee metagame.

In 1-P Mode

Classic Mode

In Classic Mode, Kirby can appear as an ordinary opponent, as an ally or opponent in the team battles, alongside Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pichu, or the Ice Climbers, as a member of a multi-character battle, or as a metal opponent. In Kirby's appearances, he appears either on Fountain of Dreams or Green Greens, and on a team with the Ice Climbers, he appears on Icicle Mountain.

Adventure Mode

Kirby's sole appearance is on Stage 5: Green Greens. He first appears in a one-on-one fight then 15 Kirbys appear each possessing a Copy Ability. If the single Kirby and the Kirby team are KO'd in less than 31 seconds, the player must also fight a giant Kirby.

All-Star Mode

Kirby and his allies are fought on Green Greens.

Event Matches

Kirby is featured in the following event matches:

• Event 6: Kirbys on Parade: The player chooses any character and must defeat three tiny Kirbys on Fountain of Dreams.
• Event 16: Kirby's Air-raid: As Kirby, the player must defeat 10 other yellow Kirbys in 38 seconds using only Warp Stars. The yellow Kirbys are immune to the player's attacks.
• Event 28: Puffballs Unite!: The player chooses any character and must defeat a total of 14 Kirbys, each possessing a Copy Ability, on Green Greens. Unlike Adventure mode, the Kirbys appear in groups of four instead of three.
• Event 30: All-Star Match 3: Kirby is the first opponent the player must fight in this series of staged battles. Their character battles him on Fountain of Dreams, which will transition to the next stage if Kirby gets defeated. With a timer of four minutes, the player must defeat him along with Pikachu, Ness, and the Ice Climbers.

Trophy descriptions

In addition to the normal trophy about Kirby as a character, there are two trophies about him as a fighter, unlocked by completing both Adventure and All-Star modes respectively with Kirby on any difficulty:

Kirby

A denizen of the far-off, peaceful planet Pop Star, Kirby became a citizen of Dream Land after defeating King Dedede. Even though he's only about eight inches tall, Kirby is an extremely skilled technician. He has the ability to absorb the powers of his enemies, and his elastic body makes him a versatile adventurer.

• Kirby's Dream Land 08/92

Kirby [Smash]

Kirby's small size lets him dodge many attacks, but his light weight makes him fly far when struck. Using his ability to inflate, he can jump five times. His Swallow attack creates wild combos; not only can he copy foes' moves, but he'll also put on special hats and mimic their voices. His Hammer is unwieldy but powerful.

• B: Swallow
• Smash B: Hammer

Kirby [Smash]

Because of his light weight, Kirby is always in danger of being sent flying, but his ability to puff up and fly allows him to come back from amazing distances. His Final Cutter strikes on the way up and on the way down, and it sends out a beam of force upon landing. Kirby transforms into various objects and crashes down when he uses his Stone technique.

Trivia

• Kirby's special moves from Melee are used in the game Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, through the use of the ability called Smash. The moves he gets are Twinkle Star (neutral aerial from Melee, although in this game it has much more range), Hammer, Final Cutter, Stone, and Vulcan Jab. He does not, however, receive Burning, which is his dash attack. He gets the ability from Master Hand, who is a boss in the game.
• Kirby has the shortest taunt, followed by Mr. Game & Watch.
• Kirby is one of the only two characters in the entire Super Smash Bros. series that has had escapable throws, the other being Olimar.
• As the first nine hits of Kirby's down throw are meteor smashes, KO'ing an opponent with the move will earn the Meteor Smash bonus, even though neither the last hit nor the throw itself are meteor smashes.
• A glitch exists where Kirby can dash attack off an edge, land on a different platform, and immediately perform a dash grab. This requires the player to use the dash attack within one or two frames of leaving the edge and then hold down a shield button until Kirby lands. The glitch likely exists because the game allows a buffer between "attack" and "shield" inputs to count as a "grab" input while dashing, which is not properly reset when Kirby attacks off the edge.
  • There is another glitch where if Kirby swallows an opponent and falls off the stage, the opponent will be KO'd and Kirby will not lose a life. With proper timing, a good Kirby player can even recover from a successful KO of this manner. This glitch exists due to the foe's hitboxes reacting to the blast zone before Kirby's, thanks to his small size relative to the rest of the cast.
• Kirby is currently the only character ranked last on a tier list to have at least one advantageous match-up.
  • He is also the only character ranked last on a tier list to not have the worst matchup spread on his respective tier list (as this position goes to Pichu).
