He is notable for his small stature, light weight (with only Jigglypuff being lighter), and multiple mid-air jumps. Despite his size, many of his attacks have a noticeably long range, with a particularly absurd example being his up-tilt standard attack. His most prominent feature, however, is his [[Inhaling|Inhale]] ability, which allows him to copy the neutral-special moves of every other fighter. This makes him extremely versatile in casual play, and a good fighter for beginners to pick up. | ||

*[[ | *[[Inhaling|Vacuum]] - Kirby inhales, which will allow him to swallow up fighters who are close-by (within range of a grab). From there, Kirby can either spit them back out as a temporary [[Star Bullet]], or 'swallow' them to copy their neutral special move (and gain a hat based on the fighter swallowed). Kirby can discard this move by taunting, or will lose it if he is hit by a strong attack (at random). | ||
*[[Final Cutter]] - Based on the last hit of the Cutter combo, Kirby takes out a blade, rises into the air, then crashes back down, releasing a shock wave on landing. Kirby can use this move to gain some height when recovering and can grab the ledge with it, but it can be easy to intercept. When falling downward, Kirby can send his opponent flying downward with the blade if timed right. | *[[Cutter|Final Cutter]] - Based on the last hit of the Cutter combo, Kirby takes out a blade, rises into the air, then crashes back down, releasing a shock wave on landing.

Kirby is currently ranked 2nd on the ''Super Smash Bros.'' tier list - in the S rank behind Pikachu, as produced by the Smashboards community. This is due in large part to his strong and versatile attacks, most notably the disjointed ones. His light weight and numerous jumps also allow him to escape combos that other characters would not be able to. He has good match-ups against most of the rest of the cast, but is on even footing with Mario, and is at a disadvantage against Pikachu. | Kirby is currently ranked 2nd on the ''Super Smash Bros.'' tier list - in the S rank behind Pikachu, as produced by the Smashboards community.
