Mega-Spider
Smash Ace
Hey guys. I know that these boards aren't the most active, but I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I want to get this out there. As we all know, Smash 4 has a huge variety of characters, and each of them have varying degrees of successful in competitive play. Some excel, some don't, and others get the spotlight on occasion. Kirby's a character that's not seen too often, and doesn't have the best results, even if people like MikeKirby and Triple R have gotten some top level results. I'm not here to talk about Kirby's results, but rather the idea of having him as a solo main. There are some characters that are fine being solo mained (Mario, Cloud, Rosalina, and Sheik come to mind). Kirby isn't a character that can be solo mained. I mean, he's not an awful choice let alone bad, but there's a lot of MUs Kirby struggles with, some being really crucial ones. I mean, have you seen what happens when you pin a Kirby up against Sonic, or Luigi, or Cloud, or Rosalina? Kirby gets murdered out there. In contrast, if you pin Kirby up against Sheik, or Fox, or Mewtwo, or Mario, suddenly Kirby doesn't get destroyed. Some like Mario and Sheik can still give him problems, but not nearly as much as the aforementioned characters that really give Kirby trouble.
I know the easy thing is to say, "Well, let's wait for another patch." The thing is, we have no idea if another patch is coming or not. It's been 3 months since the last one, and the patches normally came 2 months after another. Unless there is a patch being worked on that will completely rework the entire meta, then waiting for another patch is a bit of a waste of time. Instead, I think we should be looking for a co-main for Kirby, and not just one that can get him through his worst MUs. I'm talking about a co-main that compliments Kirby by helping him with his worst MUs, and Kirby can help the co-main with their worst MUs.
My personal pick is . Megs is an entirely different character than Kirby in every way, and there are a good amount of MUs that he can help Kirby with. Not only does Megs help in the aforementioned characters, he also helps Kirby against characters like Marth, Diddy Kong, Peach, Toon Link, and Villager. In contrast, Kirby can help Megs with characters like the aforementioned four that I mentioned, but can also help with Wario, Zero Suit Samus and Captain Falcon.
I want to see if any of you have other options for a co-main for Kirby. If you have an idea, feel free to share it here. I look forward to seeing what you guys have to say.
