    How come most Kirby players don't even try to copy their opponents' abilities?

    Thanks for finding that video. I should note though that tournament is a customs on tournament. MikeKirby is using the Jumping Inhale which is significantly better than any other Inhale in an official Smash game since once the vacuum starts, Kirby leaps forward at an aerial speed much better...

    How come most Kirby players don't even try to copy their opponents' abilities?

    Can't you just SH airdodge missles and crouch the Super missles? That match certainly isn't showing up in my searching through MikeKirby vids. which even ones of this year, he's not going for copies much if at all. I've even seen him use Inhale to Starshot on a Cloud and I'd figure Kirby would...

    How come most Kirby players don't even try to copy their opponents' abilities?

    But does it really help with getting in? In nearly every Smash game where I took the charge shot, I'd either use it as an alternative KO option or to annoy a far away Samus with uncharged shots before she starts resets neutral and starts camping. In the end, it still didn't feel like I...

    How come most Kirby players don't even try to copy their opponents' abilities?

    Trust me, if all Kirby players needed to do to max out his potential was master his Copy, people would've done it in the other games. But the fact is the move is consistently garbage frame data wise and the effort it takes to get an ability that can be removed by potentially your next isn't...

    Melee and PM weekly tourny in Pawtucket, RI

    Might as well throw in the current Facebook page while we're at it. https://www.facebook.com/events/723327051116443/ Started coming to Super Dragon a few months back. Wish I could've been there when there was a stream, but I still enjoy coming here every week. I still feel like not too many...

    Atlantic North [Sep 13, 2015] Sunday Showdown ft Smash 4 and Project M (Pawtucket, RI)

    There are plenty of TVs there. I've personally haven't seen a day where they are all taken. Turnout is decent usually. PM usually has at least 10 people and I know Smash 4 has alot more. Never seen Smash 64 here though.

    The Kirby Matchup Thread

    So I got destroyed by Ripple over the weekend. How exactly is Kirby supposed to kill Dedede? He's big and heavy, got multiple jumps, has that F-air to keep Kirby away off-stage, has that stupid Up-B to negate D-air, and probably some other crap I'm forgetting. Seeing Dedede living past 200% is...

    Ike vs. Kirby Advice (as Ike)

    This should be in the Ike boards. IDK much about Ike, but remember that Kirby can duck under your grab and some other attacks so be aware

    What could have made Kirby mid tier or top tier?

    Give him everything he has in Project M. I think that's basically SDR Kirby with a hammer that kills, an Up-B that can also be used horizontally, and a dash attack that can be land cancelled off platforms

    Kirby v Lucas matchup help

    Lucas has a poor getup roll last I checked so tech chase the heck out of him with D-throw. Also, he shouldn't have much to deal with your B-air so abuse that to your heart's content. If you want, you can copy him and get PK Freeze (the PM version) to setup combos and generally harass him. And...

    Changing Kirby's Neutral B to something else?

    With only 5 ledge grabs before you lose invincibility and the Inhale nerfs from 3.5, I don't see how that strategy could still be so strong. Chudat (the one became infamous for it) has pretty much vanished from PM and the few Kirby's I've found haven't really been attempting it (or doing it with...

    Changing Kirby's Neutral B to something else?

    I can't see Kirby with a completely new playstyle without giving him a completely new moveset or physics. I don't even know if I'd want such a drastic change. I don't see how Kirbycide is still considered the main tool out of inhale in 3.5 outside a few match-ups. Recoveries are still overall...

    The Kirby Matchup Thread

    I meant what stages to keep Fox from picking. I know the optimal stages for Kirby when counterpicking, but I'm not 100% on the stages to ban to keep Fox from counterpicking. Specifically if PS2, YS, FD, and DP are available. Sometimes, Warioware too.

    Changing Kirby's Neutral B to something else?

    Why aren't you using Copy? There are a bunch of match-ups where getting it dramatically changes match-ups. Only match-up that I'm really reliant on Kirbycides is against Fox (seriously, screw that match-up). Outside a really good projectile, I can't think of anything I'd give up Inhale for...
