The Un-Nerf Kirby Thread!

[axemangx]

I wish Kirby wasnt so slow and such. If he was made better, that would make sense. Kirby isnt so balanced though, as he doesnt have main strong moves at all... so we have to see.

Anyways. I love how the DS remake also brought a few monsters and bosses from the other handheld games.

[tennisthehilife]

sweet! it looks like Kirby has a new dash attack! it's the break spin from his Yo-Yo ability! AWESOME!

Wait, then fire is gone!?!?!?


Is that better? I don't like it

[Gotann]

I'm glad they took out the fire dash, it wasn't that good. It would get you into risky situation sometimes. This dash looks quicker and better.

Also, looking at the video, Kirby seems a lot better. To bad we couldn't see him fight real opponents, so that we could see if his hits really counts on this one.

Go SuperStar for DS!!

[Viper JLT4GOV]

Kirby will always be number one to me.

[axemangx]

Yo-yo Break. FINALLY. I was dying for a Yo-Yo move for Kirby. :P

[vesperview]

What does Un-Nerf mean?

[Viper JLT4GOV]

What does Un-Nerf mean?

It means the character needs to be better or easier from the way people are talking about in this thread.

[vesperview]

Oh ok, thanks.

[error_alt_delete]

a new kirby game for the DS? and it has co-op??? heck yes! and I am glad kirby looks better and doesnt have that fire attack, every time I used it It always turned things for the worse.

when I say looks better I mean he looks like he fights better.

[06Falcon]

the vid shows kirby running a little slower than normal, i'm hoping its just the video. :( but i'm loving the new dash attack. :) he also seems to have a new aerial, or did my mind play tricks on me?

[tennisthehilife]

Yeah Fire attack was kind of neat but not useful so I count this as unnerfing.

[Titan05]

Kirby looks hella stronger now.

[Break]

Ug, it seems they made the graphic style less appealing in that Kirby Super Star remake for the DS; nonetheless, I'm still glad the game is finally getting a remake. Hopefully Kirby will be higher tier material this time around, though I'll probably end up maining him even if he isn't.


Notice how Dynablade looks like crap in the new version?

Are you serious, though? You think the remake's sprites are worse? I respectfully but firmly disagre, sir. The new sprite is a lot more defined and the colors blend far better.

[tennisthehilife]

O cool Kirby's new Hammer attack looks useful.

I didn't necessarily mean worse, I just prefer the older graphics to the new ones. The new ones are missing that retro-Kirby feel.

Lol, found this on deviantart:

Super-buffed swallow FTW :p

As for something on topic his new aerial hammer looks pretty powerful and I luuuv his new dash attack, plus it's bound to better than that cursed fire dash

[tennisthehilife]

Kirby seems pretty kick a** to me.

Things to keep in mind:
-Kirby is a computer
-This is one of the first battles so probably low lvl computer

[Viper JLT4GOV]

That computer kick who ever played Mario, I saw Kirby standed B got longer.

[Tony_]

Kirby will be buffed up. He was pathetic in Melee compared to his N64 brother. He might be back to the same way because Pika is also regaining his power.

[Professor X]

In that video, which looks better here (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26689.html), Kirby seems to have a slightly tweaked Back Throw. You can see it at :57 in my link.

Basically Kirby starts a suplex backward, but then seems to flip at the peak and moves back toward where he began. I don't know if this will be useful for new Kirbycides though.

This rocks. Suplex Kirby toss.

< then >> then THROW.

[Ridley FTB!!!]

if used right any chaarcter can be great in melee.
i mastered kirby and sure uber fox players still killed me but much wasnt in it.the same with marth etc.
bowser was the same.if you could time him right he is a hell of a character.

[SenorPresidente]

i hope my beloved pink ball is back and can pack a punch like he used to.

PERFECT that means that you won't be able to kirbycide with that move anymore, which also means that you can't get out in the middle of the move! Btw its his forward throw, not back throw.

[Brawlmatt202]

Yes, bring Krby back up! Even though I'd still use him no matter one, I'd like him to be better then Melee!

[Silent_Hill_Crossing]

I wonder what other kinds of powers he's going to be implemented with.

Plasma, Ninja, etc. Would be quite awesome.

Kirby already uses one of his Ninja moves; it's his Grab and Up Throw move. I forget what it's called though.

[Joka]

i also agree, in ssb64 i mained as kirby. In melee i tried and i mean i tried hard to use him but it just was too far from the way he was before.

Heh, same here!
Kirby needs to be stronger!

All in favor...?

[Ridley FTB!!!]

I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lukintosh]

Count me in! :)

Kirby from SSB64 for Brawl!

[Shiny Ivysaur]

Well, I'll just try a movelist...

B: Suck. Obv.
Side B: Cutter Boomerang
Down B: Stone. When activated, stones appear around kirby and fly together to form his stone coat. Anyone inbetween him and the stones gets hurt. When Down B is released, the rocks fly off and do damage, as well as becoming like Samus's armor after Zero Lasering.
UpB: Warp Star. Summons a Warp Star. Instead of flying to the front of the screen, he just flies up and then crashes down. Less powerful than a normal warp star, does damage going up.

Standard A is the same.
Ftilt: Pulls out the Cutter sword and slashes with it.
Utilt: Uses the "Flaming Hammer Uppercut"
Dtilt: Yo-Yo (From Kirby Super Star)(IF you have a better idea, please tell me)

[Break]

Umm, we kind of already know most of Kirby's moveset, so what's the point of speculation?

[Viper JLT4GOV]

You have to hang with Kirby to make him your best weapon. I stuck with Kirby from 64 to the GameCube and still have no problems, I think the people who have problems are weak and only master easy to use characters. Why are you people weak huh!!!

[Lgndknight]

kirby pawned in SSB64, and he was terrible in melee, a balance is due, maybe bring back his running tackle instead of that horrid fireball for a dash A

I personally loved the Dash Fireball, had a DBZ feel to it.

[Norm]

From watching the videos from e-for-all Kirby seem to have been de-nerfed his rock falls faster his hammer seems to be different and he doesn\'t fly when he\'s hit so it\'s all good.

[Fawriel]

So... Kirby. Now that Dedede is confirmed, I'm curious.

What strengths can Kirby realistically have?

Metaknight has combos, speed in attacks and movement, strength, and long, disjointed hitboxes... and he is apparently mid-weight.
What advantages could Kirby realistically have over MK to make it a fair fight?

[skellitorman]

That would be a question probably best answered by T!mmy seeing as he did go to the event thingy, and played as Metaknight, so he could probably compare best. But yea Kirby should have some things over Meta Knight.
