Kirby - Page 8

quote SonicFire

Wut? Kirby - Falco is liek, Fox and Pika cept` not AS bad. Kirby grabs the hell out of Falco and gimps him. As far as I know, Falco is pie for Kirby.

Then again, I'm delusional because of so much food.

On Kirby ducking under Falco's lasers
Let's say we're played on FD. I fire a laser, Kirby ducks. Okay, now what? I'm still spamming lasers and Kirby is still ducking. At this point, he has two options.

1. Sit there and do nothing. At worst, this could be seen as stalling, and at best, it's completely useless. Or...
2. Stop ducking and try to approach. Which is exactly what I want him to do anyway.

If our lasers are still useful against Snake, who can actually move when he ducks, why would they suddenly be useless against Kirby, who can't?

On Kirby's edgeguarding ability
We go toe-to-toe with Metaknight, A.K.A. the Captain of the Edgeguard Team. Seriously.

Edgeguarding is clearly going to be Kirby's greatest asset here, and there will be many Falco-related injuries as a result of it. But if the edgeguard game doesn't break the scales on Metaknight's side when he's a better edgeguarder and has an easier time getting us off the stage in the first place, it ain't gonna fly for Kirby. Saying that one grab for Kirby is a stock for Falco is beyond ridiculous.

On Kirby's approach options
What's the best option here? Bair is beaten by Utilt, Dash attack is beaten by Ftilt. So... now what?

On Falco's lack of a chaingrab
Honestly? It's almost a good thing. It's just one more reason for us to keep the fight at a distance.

On Kirby stealing Falco's laser
If you can, great. But I have a reflector.


Overall, yes, Kirby can cause a crap-ton of damage from a single grab. But grabbing a Falco at low percents with those spindly little arms is going to be a chore, let alone doing it on every single stock. Falco controls where this match goes. If he wants it far, he can keep his distance, pick a few shots, back off. If he wants it in close, he just stops moving and waits for Kirby to come to him, punishing the approach. Since Kirby is such a light character, this Falco doesn't have to worry about killing at such late percents, which he's had a problem with in the past.

So there's Falco's case (part of it, anyway). I'm really just playing devil's advocate, I believe this match-up is a perfect 50/50.
