Super Smash Bros Brawl Kirby

Guide Note:

Kirby is one of the more challenging characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Kirby's first video game appearance was in Kirby's DreamLand in 1992. Once a formidable character in Super Smash Bros., he was downgraded in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Kirby's characteristics, for the most part, remained the same in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He is still known for being able to eat his opponent and assume a similar version of his opponent (he'll wear a pseudo-hat signifying the style of play he has acquired). Kirby is also known for having more than just the one air jump, as he can jump as many as five times (albeit, short jumps). Thus, it is difficult to knock out Kirby at an early percentage. However, Kirby's lack of strong moves means he's unable to keep up with the other characters in a blow-for-blow encounter. Many "Super Smash Bros." fans believe Kirby is just below an average character.
