Explaining Kirby's Kinetic Hitboxes (Smash Ultimate)
Hello everyone, I am back and today we'll be taking a look at another character. This time it's kirby! He may not be considered the greatest character in the game, but that does not mean he can't possess some interesting hitboxes. So join me today as we take a look at the pink puffball himself.

Kirby's Luma also differs from Rosalina's. It launches at a slightly higher angle, and has a bit less knockback growth, and it doesn't have negative shield damage making it a bit stronger against shields.
Kirby in a nutshell: this would be broken if he had more mobility

I don't agree, his attacks would be still very stubby and his jumps would still make him terrible at catching landings and jumps, and his reward would still be not enough He'd still be light, outspaced and often play losing games vs other close range characters

2:00 It's actually Kirby's Burning Ability, that only did that one move, before they combined it with fire, it's the same thing that happened with Freeze getting Merged with Ice and Throw and Backdrop getting Merged into Suplex.

I was actually expecting you to comment on the version of inhale that triggers when you inhale strong projectiles, as up to a certain percentage projectiles do not get converted into a small amount of hp with a lot of lag, but get spat out in the form of a star with size relative to the strength of the move inhaled. aside from the obvious great usefulness of inhale to copy abilities, I'm actually quite a bit frustrated as to how useless they made it be when it comes to most projectiles. DDD got a huge buff in his inhale to be a reflector and still he isn't top tier or anything. I don't think giving kirby a decent way of using it to regenerate health or reflect moves would make it broken, just... good.

I was hoping for a buff to the range of projectiles you could actually spit out because as it is right now you can only really spit out charge shots, something Kirby naturally benefits from to just copy instead. Could've helped with his almost unplayable weakness to Zoners.

Honey wake up another hitboxes video just dropped
I absolutely adored the lil intermission during the inhale hitboxes, please never change man, have good holidays
Its amazing to finally see my main there! And since kirby is indeed pretty bad, but still misunderstood, here are a few clear ups: down tilt is strong, but does not combo into itself until some specific percents. The main thing is to focus on escaping the move and not punishing it, thats how you avoid getting clipped. stone is better than we give it credit for. If you are getting hit and your opponent overextends in the air, you can punish with stone. Kills as early as 40-60, they can't interrupt it, if you timed it well the only thing they can do is airdodge and then they can't punish you. reset the situation, disadvantage avoided/kill opportunity taken. its also very good for safely getting below ledge if you're scared of being swatted by aerials. He is right that fair kinda drops a lot, it makes it a VERY unreliable kill option beyond 120% ish. I know this wasn't supposed to be an accurate kirby video, but here you go nonetheless.
I love Kirby. I really want Kirby to stop being held back purposefully. And I hope next game, older character get revamped. I think kirby using a lot more moves based on abilities would make their range better, as a character that slow shouldn’t have such small hitboxes. Maybe a very slight air speed increase, nothing crazy, and more disjointed ability moves.
Things I have to say being a Kirby main: 3:41 yeap, fair drops a lot Bair and nair really are nice moves 5:22 the lack of any hitbox on up-b at all can screw Kirby frequently while recovery if you don't know how, and even then Also, up-b tents to drop a lot too, and only spikes at the beginning Down-b has armor in some point while transforming in to rock, at least when use it in air Copy abilities can be fun :)

Ah yes, just like Incineroar, looking at just the hitboxes, Kirby seems amazing.
3:46 It does, Rekz...at set deciding times, it really does.
Kirby’s main competitive issues come with his stats. His good hitboxes don’t make up for his poor mobility, and his poor mobility causes other issues like having poor recovery. He’d be really good if they just gave him more air mobility and maybe a bit higher jump height.

I mean that would also be very inaccurate to the actual character is the issue. Kirby at his core is not a terribly fast character even in his own games, especially in the air. That's likely why they give him like heavy kill power to compensate.
I want to see the hitboxes of Rathalos as I am a fan of the Monster Hunter series
i find stone to be better for fake outs, transforming twice if they want to punish landings. if it misses i usually wait for the opponent to use a hasty attack and punish but if they read you your dead.
yay kirby time :D
Kirby has some devastating combos or even just good plays. Hammer flip shield breaker, trumping characters with their own moves, and a 0 to death combo that could be applied to pretty much any match up called "kirbys dair ride", insta footstool with inhale. And a dair that can drag down, gimp, and spike all in one go. He really is a force to be feared

Thing with Kirby and Dedede's hammer charge. While the full charge does hurt them it only does so till 100%. If they are over 100 it won't deal anymore damage. Also down B does have a solid use in competitive. If you can read people it does good shield damage, and if you can break a shield side B full charged at ledge takes stocks real early. Or my favorite use a recovery mix up. If you are up higher using it not only puts out a hitbox that also gives 10% worth of armor it will lower you down to snap ledge with up B. Just make sure to press down B again before diving into the blast zone.
You read Umineko?!?! That novels dope as hell you got great taste
The disjoint on the down smash is for hitting ledges.
Shiny Swablu was my first shiny pokemon in Pokemon Violet!
I would LOVE a video on my main, Greninja, next!! ^w^
One gaint video on every copy ability.
Kirby's down special has a couple of properties that combine for some really stupid things he can do, but only on select stages that aren't competitive legal and against certain Spirit Battle rules. To put it simply, it can be used to land on a surface and get back your mid-air jumps without touching it with a hurtbox by jumping out of the reverse transformation fast enough... and while I don't know every stage hazard you can land on without getting hit, it is safe on the hazard floors present in some Spirit Battles.

Title and Next Video idea: *Bayonetta's Busty Hitboxes*
YES! KIRBY!
Something very important about Kirby is that up tilt does not reach the Battlefield platform, while up-smash does. It's a huge disappointment because it really limits your way of shield pressuring opponents on a platform. Oh, and f-throw puts you above the Battlefield platforms, stopping any kind of combo
I just wish copy replaced more, if not all, of kirby's specials, would be a lot of fun and make inhaling a lot of characters more appealing
Kirby really is such a sad case of a character. He's got so many great moves, his tilts especially, but in the end he's betrayed by his fundamental properties as a character. He's just too slow. Give him the air speed of another pink sphere, or even an average air speed like Mario's, and he would suddenly be SO much better. I know that Kirby in his games is generally pretty slow in the air, but it seems crazy that his air speed is slower than Incineroar, Min Min, and Dr. Mario.
Give him king dedede inhale and make up B projectile a reflection effect (wouldn't work again full charge Samus shot) but would work again his missiles. Just these 2 defensive things would give him a lot more options and match ups
MY BOY
Please do Rosalina and Luma! I've been a fan of yours since b4 the game came out!
My Samus struggled until I used F tilt for a trade.

Well I need to be honest that I feel kirby's moveset is not utulized to his full potential even from smash 64 I felt his moveset feel pretty prototype like like why his down tilt isn't the slide kick, why his up B is the final cutter instead of high jump or rising break, why not put him the air bullet and so on and hecl you can't argue that his special moves are existing copy abilities when his jab and side smash based on fighter and technically jet with the foward smash while you can argue I just want him to be full of copy abilties for his moveset I just feel is be the way to fully optemize kirby to be how he play in his series easy to play but hard to master
@Robbie_Haruna
Жыл бұрын
While you have a point about lacking the slide kick, Kirby himself is at his core designed to being a good beginner character much like his games. Final Cutter probably mainly stuck as the up special because the cutter ability has had a much more consistent track record in the Kirby series while something like High Jump or missile miss out on a ton of titles. This is why kirby moveset revamp ideas that make his entire moveset a cluster fuck where every move is a different copy ability are so awful and miss the mark so badly. Also his series has never been easy to learn hard to master, let's not kid ourselves now.
@theenderkirby
Жыл бұрын
@@Robbie_Haruna well I get your point that his moveset not need to be a massive cluster of copy abilities but even than I feel like in many cases final cutter should work much more different, maybe work as his foward throw, add the first 3 slices of the final cutter and not the last 3 only or heck while not iconic as this move they can still add cutter dash to his dash attack or cutter throw as his side special, and while kirby is a very easy character to learn in smash bros let's be real how hammer flip is easy to use in the game even during my early times with the character I barely use this move to begin with. As for my statement of kirby being easy to play but hard to master well that really from my expirience yes kirby's game are have very easy difficulty but really with the exception of the first two games despite not playing the very first game I can tell that mastering the abilities is what make kirby hard to master from the more classic title like super star with mastering wave dashing with plasma to get the strongest attack, or keep the right distance for a hammer flip or even the modern title like mastering the flip dodge to deal effective damahe to bosses in fogotten land or in the modern quadlogy mastering the quad shock of ninja in return, spacing yourself with find opertunity with the burst option of circus or get mutiple stars for a massive damaging throw with beetle I know star allies isn't the best choise since how powerfull elemental dream freinds can be but if you go solo or with an avrage team for the soul melter EX you have to master your ability in order to take the boss so it won't unleash the more harder to dodge attacks In conclusion while I get your points there and there I have some factors I disagree with but I respect your POV
