Why Kirby is GARBAGE in Melee, and how he changed in Project M

[@earthboundfan95]

“He wants to be jigglypuff so bad” But wasn’t smash 64 jigglypuff made because she could basically use Kirby’s model?

[@The_Batman_]

Yeah?

[@DJFoxy-TheKitsune]

I don’t get the connection you’re trying to make 😅 he’s just saying Puff is just better than Kirby in Melee, that’s why Kirby wants to be Jigglypuff in Melee

[@PJWooperIsBack]

Kirby was like this in melee was because people liked to complain about Kirby in 64

[@jakegoldman5804]

my roommate has never gone to a tournament and legit destroys me with kirby in P+. it hurts

[@Kasunoske]

i just woke up with this idea for kirby, change his copy abilites to the way they work in his game: if he suck up mario or bowser , make him fire kirby, olimar make him UFO kirby . if he sucks up a link or and FE character make him sword kirby. etc

[@samuelbrown1283]

You are a genius, you MUST make a mod for that

[@simnm8057]

That will suck

[@sirejohnson3971]

Noo why my smash main is worst in melee 😭 F for melee kirby pls👍

[@straawberryfieldsforever]

same boat as you, gonna play Puff then :')

[@Eldoofus]

8:37 ... Kirby's Dash Attack Was supposed to be a multi-hit?... DUDE, I'VE LIVED YEARS NOT KNOWING THAT! HOW DID THEY SCREW IT UP SO BADLY?!

[@merrybluue6784]

It's melee

[@pokeblueblur5755]

It never multi hits

[@lapplandkun9273]

@@pokeblueblur5755 It was multi hit in brawl and smash 4. They clearly changed it because his flaming tackle dash attack, even as it was more loyal to the universe he belonged to, was worse than the multi hit kick, at least in melee before they changed it back in ultimate

[@ThatOne_Username]

​@@lapplandkun9273 yeah cuz in brawl and sm4sh they were different attacks, on ultimate it became the fireball again and it' not a multi hit

[@blubrdfg]

Kirby's tilts and wavedash are actually amazing in melee but otherwise, great vid!

[@amarobro2298]

No theyre not

[@someoneelse1348]

​@@amarobro2298yes they are? Hus wavedash is pretty good, has a great set of tilts, is just that everything else is really awful except for one or two things

[@amarobro2298]

@@someoneelse1348 the only decent things of Kirby are his tilts, not even good just amazing, his wavedash is literally ass

[@Kingsbeak]

Bro but blue kirby is unbeatable

[@javianmonserrate8930]

Fun fact Pichu speed is 1.74 in melee and the 5th fastest character

[@GrimDim]

Kirby's combo game ain't that bad and I really think him being garbage is overplayed but, so be it.

[@SSB_Seal]

Yeah I completely agree, this video is extremely hyperbolic, and it kinda just reiterated a lot of the most common talking points. No character is truly that unusable in melee, and Captain Pretzel has been making it work with Kirby.

[@Chronos774]

It has potential but I wouldn't call his combos the worst in the game.

[@ImCookieSparx]

No, Kirby’s combo game in melee is the worst by far. No solid finishers, too much low air speed to connect with any moves. There’s only like 3 combos that all start with up tilt His kit is just to weird and unfitting to combo with. Sure, PM and P+ really did improve a lot of his kill options and mid combos, but still one of the least combo characters to ever exist in fgc.

[@peter42466]

Did you accidentally go to 64 Kirby because for your information the only Kirby throws that work are bad combo tools his up tilt leads into like one follow up also even if he had a good combo game he wouldn’t be good because of his bad approach tools hella slow speed very light weight and weak kill options

[@thyduke3010]

@@peter42466 how dare you say that about 64 kirby

[@evanwilliams6406]

Kirby in Smash 64-Awesome=Kirby in Melee-Bad

[@gaalxystar1873]

even on Ulitmate he's still bad at least he's better than melee

[@wolfdragox5563]

Brawl was the last game where Kirby was actually decent

[@djdrizzy9139]

Mid tier like Brawl. Kirby is decent enough in Ultimate.

[@ThatOne_Username]

Kirby's up air in melee is stronger than captain falcon's knee, tho it kills later of the sides due to the angle that it sends you on

[@spowbits3696]

As a child i used to play Kirby sucking somone up flying down released then into dead and fly up again😂😂

[@ssbmwaddles]

If you don't tech down throw kirby can Redgrab you forever

[@stephenschuster3555]

There’s nothing Kirby has the puff doesn’t except for the knee that is Kirby up air but in the context of her kit puff air is also rly good bc it combos into rest

[@RandallPacks]

idk man my kirby kinda shnasty

Only on Yoshi's Story 😅

Give to ness a home run bat to his range

[@Mote.]

I never see protect melee talked about. Its not popular. Is it good? Is it not as popular because its not an official game and Nintendo would shut it down??

[@lapplandkun9273]

Community is small and people would still play other smash games like melee and ultimate Yes, but project m is still being played to this day. They didn't shut down the game. They shut down development of it. People get those concepts backwards because they think development=game even though it clearly isn't. MK11 is still being played to this day and it's no longer being updated, but that doesn't mean it was shut down.

Sakurai just a bort kirby

It would be nice if you made better melee clips, if you use the 20XX mod pack it's not too hard to create cleaner clips

[@qwertz143]

Still garbage in PM 😔

[@mulldrifter6040]

Just give him 64's Up-Tilt and Down Air and watch him climb up 3 tiers

[@stewiegriffin2032]

Bowser is better than Kirby.

[@javianmonserrate8930]

Fun fact Kirby speed in smash melee is 1.40 Bowser is 1.14 Jigglypuff and zelda speed is 1.12 the slowest characters in the game

Kirby was made in 1992 Pokémon was made in 1995 Kirby is not trying to be like jigglypuff
