Welcome to the Kirby Question and Answer Thread. Come here for all of your Kirby questions. If you ask here, you’ll get a much better response than making a completely new thread, so ask away. :colorful:

I will also provide links that could help you learn more about Kirby and possibly answer your question before you even have the chance to ask. :3

For now, the rest of this thread is from Tomato Kirby’s previous guide (Second Post) until people provide me with links and we actually get some common questions that I’ll put on the front page.

A: He's leapink with joy! *booing from the audience*

Q: How can I get around campers?
A: Read this post, it contains detailed information on how to handle those pesky campers!

how do i approach a campy diddy?

lil cj · Mar 6, 2009

I think Kirby can inhale Diddy's bananas
so those shouldnt be a problem
bair and fair are the best approaches
they have alot of priority

On the top Kirby list, Hat should be on there. He is amazing. In other words, my question is why isn't he on it?

Because that list is old.

Isn't this essentially the same thing as the help desk? (With a name that explains it's function much better.)

Catch his bananas. If you decide to float, always catch them when you land. You can also catch his peanuts too. Using Z to catch is so helpful in these cases.

Sometimes its best just not to approach, throw his stuff back at him and be patient so he can approach. When he does, be ready for glidetoss banana to grab. Shield it and grab him first into Uthrow or Bthrow. Be ready to grab dash attack too, if you don't grab it then you might want to just roll away rather than jumping and getting caught by utilt. His aerials are all pretty bad, if you see him throwing it out just wait and jump/bair him.

Most important thing with Diddy is to edgeguard. His recovery is horrible. I've been in really bad situations with Diddy before but came back with edgeguards and spikes.

fromundaman · Mar 7, 2009

Ah gotcha. Also, I think T!mmy's guide has frame data, so you could get it from there if it's accurate.

kirbz · Mar 7, 2009

Question!

Question!

How to approach?

EDIT:
nother question, tho its kinda strange.

i only want to main those with a pink costume.

O_o

You edited as I clicked "quote".

Anyway.

Never say "approach" on these boards. Got it? Kirby doesn't approach.

Anyway...pink costume...~~snake~~

How should I know?

Lucas, Luigi, Yoshi, and Diddy
also have pink costumes
I recommend trying out Lucas
Out of all the characters he is the most fun to play

☆ I have a quick noob question. What is the best team combnation for Kirby? Kirby & Luigi, Kirby & Pikachu, Kirby & Zelda, or Kirby & Ness? ☆

fromundaman · Mar 7, 2009

Of the ones listed, I personally prefer Kirby & Pika or Kirby & Luigi, though I like Kirby & ROB better than any of those.

Ask away if you need tricks/tactics for any of those (I'm most familiar with Kirby/ROB and Kirby/Pika though, as when teamed with a Luigi I go Mario, as Mario/Luigi is ****.).

A1lion835 · Mar 7, 2009

I'd say kirby+snake is a good team, for various reasons, which, if I asked for, I'll say.

MK26 · Mar 7, 2009

So far, this thread has taught me one thing:

The difference between a thread being stickied and a thread being banned is timing. And the amount of spam it generates.

This thread still depresses me. Bunny, can you put a picture of Ukulele Kirby in the OP to cheer my spirits?

Kirby and Ness is kinda interesting. You could Inhale and Swallow to save him. Kirby D-throw> Ness D-air> Kirby Ground Hammer/Fsmash/Utilt(> another D-air). It all depends on teamwork. Kirby's Grabs are excellent for Setups. I would Say D-Grab is the Best, hands down, for the most *PAAAUUUNCH* like results.

Maybe. <.<

And err... Kirby saved my life against Snake in a tourney yesterday and my ICs couldn't handle a Snake. So me and Kirby are friends again. >_>

lil cj · Mar 8, 2009

I thought Snake was a tough matchup for Kirby...
b/c of Kirby's light weight and Snake's hard hitting moves??
Good job bringing down Snake Kawaii Bunny

momochuu · Mar 8, 2009

I felt most comfortable fighting him as Kirby, lol

That's...a little weird...

Personally, if I used IC's, I'd only use them for matchups I didn't like. Grab->win :laugh:

.

And if any of you guys piss me off, you have been warned. I know how to CG.

☆ I'll give this a try. At my next tourney I'll contact a friend that's great with Ness so we can practice this, (then again, my cousin mains Ness). ☆

Well, it makes sense...as long as the Snake has a grenade at his feet and a few mines around, you can't cg him without both of you blowing up...which kills the cg. Snake's utilt (along with the explosives) is incredible at splitting popo and nana. There's more, but I'm too tired to type much.

Stuff like this really irritates me because playing ICs is not as simple as people like to think.

Yea, playing IC's isn't just grab>grab>grab>...fair. Twas a joke!

Come on, you can't really blame people for thinking they're easy. I saw some of your matches. You make it look easy. But, the skill required to Play IC's is ridiculous. Too much coordination, being De-synced and maintaining the Momentum flow towards you while a simple Projectile could reset your position/momentum and Mastering the CG depending on the wight of the opponent. Those kids are no Joke.

NO JOKE!!!!11!!1!

Pulling of 0 to Death's on cue is ridiculous, especially with the pressure of a tourney match.

Lol. If we didn't have stupid people to make stupid remarks about stuff they don't know, what fun would be the internet? :laugh:

But yeah. The IC's are one of the few characters left that actually require high levels of skill to be effective so, yeah.

Though it is escapable with DI...
f-throw --> u-air --> reverse u-tilt --> b-air
Does 38% fresh

And the one that will never work on anyone except Falcon, the Spacies, and Bowser:
f-throw --> u-air --> f-throw --> u-air --> f-smash
51% fresh

EDIT: I suppose this is one of the common questions that should be put up on the front page.

Also, should a Useful Links thread be integrated into an existing thread, or would it be better to put it on its own?

You catch on quickly.

I don't know how but we (Kirby Mains( need to figure something out because, we'll eventually get bored.
