Kirby has | Overall, Kirby has been [[nerf]]ed in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'' despite being a low-mid tier character in ''Brawl''. Kirby's effective grab game, deceptive range and high power have all been slightly toned down from ''Brawl'' with little compensation for those nerfs. | ||
