Kirby: Difference between revisions

Several of Kirby's attacks are based on the various abilities throughout the ''Kirby'' series: his standard special move is [[#Inhale|Inhale]], which allows him to suck up any opponents into his mouth and either spit them out as a star or copy them, allowing him to use their standard special move; his down special is [[#Stone|Stone]], which allows him to slam the ground as a stone; his up special is the [[#Final Cutter|Final Cutter]], one of the [[wikirby:Cutter|Cutter]] ability's attacks, which allows him to leap into the air and slice the ground; his standard attack is based on the [[wikirby:Vulcan Jab|Vulcan Jab]], one of the [[wikirby:Fighter|Fighter]] ability's attacks; and his side smash is based on the [[wikirby:Smash Kick|Smash Kick]], another of the Fighter's moves. Most of Kirby's grab attacks are all based on moves used by the [[wikirby:Backdrop|Backdrop]] and [[wikirby:Suplex|Suplex]] abilities, though his up throw is the Air Drop attack used by [[wikirby:Ninja|Ninja]]. Kirby's up aerial is an original move known as "Twinkle Star", which would later be used in [[wikirby:Kirby & The Amazing Mirror|''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'']] as an attack for Kirby's [[wikirby:Smash|Smash]] ability.

Kirby returns in the game's sequel ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He is still a default character, but unlike the previous game, he is lighter and slower. He is also given a side special move, the [[Hammer]], which allows him to swing the hammer once on the ground and spinning vertically in the air. In addition, his dash attack has been changed to the [[wikirby:Burning|Burning]] ability. "Twinkle Star" is now Kirby's standard aerial; his up aerial is completely new, being the [[wikirby:Moon Somersault Kick|Moon Somersault Kick]] from the Fighter ability; his forward aerial is now the [[wikirby:Aerial Spin Kick|Aerial Spin Kick]], also from the Fighter ability. His appearance was also altered, becoming smoother due to the GameCube's heightened graphical abilities. His pink hue is also slightly brighter. Otherwise, not much else has changed between his original and ''Melee'' appearances.

Kirby returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. His Hammer is replaced with [[Hammer Flip]], making it more similar to the move in ''[[Wikirby:Kirby Super Star|Kirby Super Star]]''. His Final Smash was changed to [[Ultra Sword]], a [[wikirby:Super Ability|Super Ability]] from ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. Kirby's standard attack also gains a finisher in [[wikirby:Smash Punch|Smash Punch]], an attack from the Fighter ability. Kirby's mobility is improved, but his attacks' damage output and knockback are decreased, while some of his moves are slower.

'''Final Cutter''' is Kirby's up special move and one of the attacks used by the [[wikirby:Cutter|Cutter]] ability in the ''Kirby'' series. Like in its series of origin, Kirby pulls out a blade and slashes up into the air before flying back toward the ground. When Kirby lands the attack sends out a shockwave in front of him that also damages opponents. The move also has a [[meteor smash]] on the descent. The player can also influence Kirby's horizontal movement a little during the attack.

*In ''[[Wikirby:Kirby & The Amazing Mirror|Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', ''[[Wikirby:Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition|Kirby's Dream Collection]]'', and ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', Kirby can obtain an ability called [[wikirby:Smash Bros.|Smash Bros.]], which allows him to perform multiple moves from his ''Super Smash Bros.'' moveset, including all his special moves (with the exception of Inhale).
