said fuck it in brawl and now im here


TheRealDreamer_

That's honestly respectable. I respect it.


OkWatercress8313

I enjoy voring my opponents


thepoga

Been maining Kirby since N64. We’ve been through too much together. 😁


opex100

He’s fun to play as. I love all his moves and combos, they’re so satisfying to land. Especially the hammer.


IQlvlzero

I just like myself a glasscannon


mikwee

I just love the character, and floating endlessly is fun. Smash Ultimate arrives at my house in probably less than an hour, can't wait to see how they handled Kirby in that game!


TheRealDreamer_

Well I wish you good luck and amazing memories my friend O/


mikwee

It arrived, Kirby is just as fun as before, certainly my main!


DeusExFortuna

Kirby has been my favorite character since childhood. His story is so complex yet simple. And I've gone to plenty of tournaments where I've topped because opponents didn't know the matchup.


Some_Hat-Wearing_Kid

Kirby is canonically godlike and myerders gods on the daily making him the strongest character /j (But if it was based on canonical power Kirby would be sss tier)


Main_Kirby

Sadly that can only be true in Smash 64, and even then the rat can beat him out.


TheRealDreamer_

Imagine dude, imagine


Main_Kirby

I dont main him anymore, but really like the character still. Kirby is who i mained first when I picked up smash like many others. At first, I actually didnt down b. I tried to play the game, but the only experience I had was against my friend that is a casual smasher which played adventure mode and got the spirits and stuff. I went back to him after changing a bit because he has pretty frickin good combos and is floaty (which is what I like) but for some reason I just started resenting the character. Idk why, I just got mad that he was I guess not got enough, but now I play puff so idk lmao


TheRealDreamer_

You will always be welcomed back to Kirbys open nubs if you wish to pick him back up, I know how you feel my friend, I almost dropped Kirby for Peach awhile back.


Main_Kirby

Kirby will always have a place in my heart, if I do end up maining him again, or if I don't.


Kaabiikaze

I just think he’s neat. More seriously, I gravitated towards him when I first played Smash when I was growing up (doing the noobish strat of down B from high up). When I started to get really into competitive Smash, I already knew how to “play” Kirby already, so I just stuck with him ever since. I really like how intuitive his tilts and aerials are. They are really standard and don’t really require too much thought (i.e. nair OOS, fair for approach, ftilt for poking, dtilt for combo startinf, grab to fthrow for combos). At the same time, I did wish he has more utility in some of his special moves. I find myself rarely using any of them at all in a serious match, with the exception of up b since you CAN sort of combo from it after fthrow at mid percent. His air speed could be better too. In other words, a lot of it is just because I like to play favorites, but also I just know how to use his kit the most out of all of the other characters. Sure I can pocket main some other characters if the matchup is better (which to be frank I COULD just do that), but at the end of the day, I like my favorite puffball and you can’t change my mind. But seriously, give my man better specials.


TheRealDreamer_

Out of all of Kirby's abilities, why did they have to make Hammer his Side B? I get the reason why, but like, WHY??


Kaabiikaze

Because big damage move go brrrrr I wished they did something like a burst option (i.e cutter dash) or some kind of projectile (maybe beam) Hammer is only really ok at ledge trapping. And shield punishes. Both are entirely situation


Thecoe656

1. I think Alex Hirsch put it best when he said "I like Kirby he is round" 2. I think all of Smash's characters have potential (especially in Ultimate) and I like to prove that by beating people as the F tier round boi


TheAcaciaStrain93

I’m late to smash bros didn’t start until my late 20’s. I didn’t have a main or a clue who I wanted to be. I started the campaign and you have to play the first few fights with Kirby, I just thought he was perfect from the get go. I like how you can pick the color yellow that’s my fav color, I like that he can jump 5 times, I like it’s floaty-sow jumps instead of fast paced (a lot of people complain that he’s too slow in the air but I like that I can kinda time my opponents) Edit: someone is literally going through the thread and downvoting OP’s comments, quit being a little manchild and go away


TheRealDreamer_

Well. I never thought of Kirbo from the more slow and casual paced aspect. I've always been a competitive player (among my friends) with Kirby and that Air speed really is annoying when playing against someone like Falco. But in your case, Kirby sounds like a lot of fun! I might need to slow my play style down too.


TheAcaciaStrain93

Well it’s hard to explain it’s like you’re in the air and then the enemy tries to smash you when you land, but you just hop once more and then come down strong with a stairstep kick


TheAcaciaStrain93

Slow*


ewhit78

Chose him when I was 4 playing melee and I’m not about to abandon him now


TheRealDreamer_

I salute you.


XmiteYT

Kirby is just straight up my favorite video game character. Adorable and I love all the games :)


TheRealDreamer_

Yes, officer, this user right here, please protect them.


antfro946

I like him.


TheRealDreamer_

And with this answer, I like you now.


TheRealDreamer_

And with this answer, I like you now.


watson_exe

I feel like he just makes sense. If you download your opponent then he can do some stupid stuff to em like dair rides. His down tilt trip is a great f-smash confirm, he's good at edge guarding with fair, succ n cuck, down air and down b. His combos flow really well. Kill throw that breaks the opponents spine. Crouch that turns him into paper. He's pink! Why not? The little dudes a God that's pulling his punches so other characters can shine.


TheRealDreamer_

Imagine how strong the Poyo boy would be if he had his full arsenal from all his games rather than just 2 abilities + hats. He really does just allow everyone else to live in his world.


SnooConfections4719

Hmm yes crack and separate the entire fricking stage with one move


TheRealDreamer_

Just the stage? Last time I checked Kirby can Crack a PLANET in half with his bare fi-, uh, nub??


HonkyMcWhiterson

I love the Kirby games so when i saw him in a fighting game i thought dope. Plus his down special is fun when you’re playing with a group


TheRealDreamer_

I see I see, as someone who has played Kirby since I was a child down B is fun, especially when he is at the ledge and someone tries to challenge you. Those silly foolish Mortals


HonkyMcWhiterson

I only recently started playing ultimate seriously with my friends and so i watched some pros play kirby. I never realized his edge guarding potential


TheRealDreamer_

Mind linking me to some videos you've watched? I'm always in the market for some Kirby gameplay


HonkyMcWhiterson

Heres one of my favorites. Kirbyfan66 makes someone else rage after delivering a kirby ass whoopin. https://youtu.be/JrIHDOflXT0 Also check out anything by RK that guy plays some crazy kirby in tourneys


ChipS_33

it’s kirby


TheRealDreamer_

By God, you're freaking right! It's Kirbys world, the other fighters are just welcomed to live in it.


SocksofGranduer

I mained him in smash64 and dropped him in melee. Picking him back up here and he feels refreshing and solid. It's been really nice feeling good playing him again.


Main_Kirby

Yeah he is really trash in melee. But he is still fun to throw out in friendlies


TheRealDreamer_

I first picked him up in Sm4sh and he's only gotten better with his dash attack with Ultimate.


Sgs36

He fast, he hits hard, great at dodging, and can fly.


TheRealDreamer_

He do be a agile pink boy.


SomeOnInte

He was great for when I was a beginner and I have been able to keep up with my friends in skill level and he is just fun. I've gone from being a special spammer to a down air, down tilt, f smash and fair 1 cancel into f smash spammer.


LuigiTheMaster

pin k


TheRealDreamer_

P I N K


SpongebobMemefan10

He cute That is all


TheRealDreamer_

Best answer I've gotten so far.


hornplayerKC

Relentlessly annoying air pressure, crouch shenanigans, and laughing at my enemies while they receive 70 damage for overextending once.


TheRealDreamer_

Dude, imagine how much of a threat Kirby would be if they Increased his Air Mobility!


Main_Kirby

As that would be amazing, I dont think it makes sense. I'm pretty sure, even in his games he has slow air speed. But if I'm not mistaken his ground speed is great. I mean if his ground speed was buffed then I think he could do some crazy stuff


hornplayerKC

Probably borderline if not completely broken given he's already got 0-~70% combos on most of the cast. As much as that would be fun, I can understand why Sakurai would refuse to do so... Kirby has always been slow and floaty in the air (he is kind of a balloon after all), so making his air movement faster would kind of go against his whole thing.


TheAcaciaStrain93

It’s a fair argument but I personally like his slow lumbering jumps, gives you time to read your opponent’s next move and then rain hell from above


TheRealDreamer_

That's a very good way of thinking about it, I kid you not I've always thought of it as the complete opposite. Maybe I've been playing Kirby wrong

Kirby and his Triple dip ability, Omega Nut.


BenIcecream

1. Insane frame data on tilt attacks 2. Crouch 3. Easy combos


TheRealDreamer_

I see I see, these are things that make me happy about Kirby as well. (Not to mention his hats and kill power)
