Question

Hey, it seems like a alot of my friends think that kirby is really OP. My question is, why? His range, approach options, and ko options are all fairly limited, and he is also one of the lightest characters in the game. I'm sure there are some other weaknesses, but I don't know them off the back of my head. Can somebody help me out on this?

    Good sides : 2nd lowest crouch,almost no landing lag on almost all aerials,great grabs and pummel. Bad sides :Lightweight,Can't launch people very far,one of the worst dash attacks,and slow special attacks. This is my opinion.

    I've never found down b to be a problem. Yeah, it might get me the first couple of times but after that it becomes pretty predictable. But thats just for 1 on 1s and team matches. I can see why it would be a problem in free for alls.

    Or, maybe they find him OP because of his edge guarding potential.

    Probably not. Smash 4 Meta Knight has some of the best edge guarding and gimping abilities in the entire game and is still relatively midtier. Kirby definitely has some pretty good edge guarding abilities, but I don't think a good edge guarding ability makes a character.

    I still have an other idea : Are your friends good or at least decent at the game ? Because maybe they think that Kirby's stone form is invincible. I say this because most beginners always forget to grab.

    Yeah, you bring up a pretty good point :P. The people that say that kirby (or any character really) is op are usually inexperienced and don't consider that they can adapt learn more about matchups. I personally really hate DuckHunt. But while inexperienced players might call the character op or cry for nerfs, I'm gonna try to learn more about the matchup, and see if I can figure him out.

    Yeah, a lot of people do actually :P. Banana throw is one of the best approach options in the entire game, and down throw to up air does alot of damage, works until like 110%, and has plenty of ko potential. But I think as the metagame evolves and we learn more about the character, he won't be as bad.

    I'm trying to main Meta Knight, but knowing myself, that's going to change eventually. Right now, I'm kinda just playing random characters that I also like (Peach, Ganon, Pikachu, Samus, Diddy, Jigglypuff, Charzard, Shiek, just to name a few).
