Kirby (SSB4): Difference between revisions

Initially, Kirby was significantly nerfed in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', but as of recent game updates, he is now considered to be buffed overall. He has retained some of the issues he had in ''Brawl'', though he also suffered from having his range worsened in ''SSB4'' due to his feet and size relative to the cast becoming smaller, and his standing and dash grabs' ranges decreased. However, some of his less reliable moves from ''Brawl'', particularly Inhale and his down aerial, have been buffed and now possess much more utility. The removal of [[hitstun]] cancelling also benefits Kirby more than harming him, as it enables him to chain combos together much better, which is further compounded by his newly buffed forward throw, which lets him rack up damage very easily. His approach was also slightlynimproved due to his dashing speed becoming significantly faster. The general changes in units of distance also give him a much easier time against characters he couldn't approach easily before, most notably with {{SSB4|Marth}}. As a result of these changes, he is considered to have been improved from ''Brawl'', with his current tier placement being debatable as many players argue Kirby should be slightly higher.
