Super Smash Bros./Kirby: Difference between revisions

| Kirby's grab range is lamentable, but his throw is unique.  Kirby flies to the top of the screen, off the screen, and then smashes the player he is holding onto the top-most surface on the way back down.  The smash isn't incredibly powerful, but it's impressive to behold.  One must be careful, however, that [[Super Smash Bros./Pikachu|Pikachu's]] Thunderbolt attack doesn't hit him at the zenith of his throw, or he will fly straight off the map.Try not to do it facing and at a gap, because your opponent AND you will go flying into a pit.This is usually done by computer players though.If you keep grabbing your opponent and throwing them using his second grab,(move the analog stick opposite the direction you are facing while throwing)you can deal 15% damage(it steadily decreases)and if you finish them with his regular grab,you can deal 50% damage or more. 

! {{n64|B}} !! Swallow

|Kirby swallows an opponent and if you press anything but {{n64|A}},he will gain their {{n64|B}} power.In some cases,it can give him two moves:a charging move and a regular move.Executed correctly,your opponent and you will die(get a CP to push you off a ledge).One must be careful when swallowing an opponent,as Kirby gets so obese he falls through some platforms.To spit an opponent out, press {{n64|A}}.To throw a power away, press {{n64|L}}.

| Considered by some to be the cheapest move in the game, a Final Cutter attack executed over open space results in an instant KO, no matter how much damage the opponent has.  The Final Cutter attack can deal damage at three different points: the moment it is executed, at its zenith, and when he lands, shooting out a little projectile in the shape of Kirby with a sword.  While executing the attack, however, Kirby is extremely vulnerable until the attack's zenith, where propelling downward occurs. The risk in using this move, is that Kirby must land; if he goes off the edge while using this to smash an opponent, he can not recover.This can also be a used as a propelling move if you press {{n64|Left|Control}} or {{n64|Right|Control}} at the start of the attack. This move can also result in an instant KO if the bottom of Kirby's sword is touching the opponent and if the sword is over a pit.  

! {{n64|Down|Control}}{{plus}}{{n64|B}} !! Stone

| One of the more unique moves in the game, Kirby's Rock Drop actually has two uses. If executed while on the ground, Kirby will turn into a rock and be temporarily invincible(with the exception of being grabbed). Unlike other shields however, there is a substantial recovery time, meaning that your opponent can simply stand there and wait for the move to expire. As a result, it is useful mainly for avoiding high damage attacks like smashes or a fully charged [[Super Smash Bros./Samus|Samus]] blaster.

The second form of this attack is far more useful. If used while Kirby is airborne, Kirby will again turn into a rock, but this time gravity brings him crashing down, crushing anyone not fast enough to get out of the way. With an average damage of 20%, this is Kirby's most powerful non-combo move if done correctly. There are a few perils to this technique that you should remember however. In one-on-one matches your opponent will usually have time to get out of the way, so use this move while they are in the air, on in [[Super Smash Bros./Multiplayer|multi-player]] when players are distracted by each other. Also, like his Final Cutter, if you use this move while over a pit or edge you will plummet to your death unless you press {{n64|B}} in time. There is also a less obvious way to die from this move. Turning into a rock while on an angled surface will cause you to slide slowly down the hill. If you slide over an edge before you can recover, you plummet to a grisly end as well. You can press {{n64|B}} again to turn back into normal Kirby.
