Battle-Ready Episode 1: Kirby

[Deboogs]

Up throw can suicide. Swallowciding is easily possible if you are fastfalling off the edge and you inhale someone. near the edge.

[presidentevil]

down air is slower in response.

[KiraNumber7]

kiraby spitts people under the stage an stage spikes them

[2007FORLife]

Basically what aceofhearts is saying:

Swallow ur Enemy, go under the stage and then spit him out and float back and ledgeguard =] just dont spam it lol

[AceOfHearts65]

actually kirby swallow kill does work just differently see kirby has has jump multiple floats right so you wait to you get to the edge of the map and you you shoot him out your mouth the opponent instantly dies and you have a choice of suicide or float back to the stage! its different see.

[kr1spness]

just started with kirby. this video was good for teaching me some combos thanks

[Misruk]

You forgot to mention the Down B move :P

[HappyTreeAwesome]

yh, that's like his best move!

[jmak1995]

i know that moe is really useful for me since it makes you not only immune to attacks but if na attack hits you while your dropping it noe only stuns you for a second making the duration longe but once the stun is off and ur low to the ground and the nemey is below you so you do some good damage to them

EX:ganandorf shadow punches you while in rock form as your right above him but still in the hit range of the punch so you will be stunned for a moment then fall right onto them do good damage.

[Brucer888]

Ok, fine. I agree with the swollow BUT you can jump up to the edge and swallow in air, fall off the side without hitting the ledge, then spit them under the stage as your falling. Perfect for recovering.

[miragebird]

Nice, I have brawl but this is still interesting to watch.

[wi9up4gm]

there are mny more good kirby players but they are nt on youtube im good with kirby not even good a him but whai mean to sy there much more good kirby players

[QuasiiMado]

i like these videos you got about brawl. very fun to watch but i just dont think brawl can have any kind of competitive play

[eladamox]

you dumb.

[kr1spness]

well it does have competitive play it's just the game is more slowpaced and new combos have to be found and created which may take a while. also edgeguarding is alot harder in this game as you grab the ledge quickly but i'm sure everything will come together. still won't match up to meele's competitveness.

[buffgrandmaproductio]

have you ever fought T!mmy? You 2 are the best Kirby players..

[immaculate4205]

well, there still is swallowcide but u have to do it like falling from the edge and swallowing while in air, the time used for jumping off is now used to ensure a suicide

but footstool is better cuz u actually live :P

[sadmouth]

u forgot all about his stone move down b

[JoNaYh55cOlLiNs]

whao o.o how'd you do that footstool-side thing? =O!

[sadmouth]

jus press the jump buttonwen ur above some 1JoNaYh55cOlLiNs

[mimerules]

Boswer has a Suicde Move......It hate it cuz my friend pulls it on my all the time....pissing me off!!!!!!

[hippyman96]

buddy, did you know when he does that to you, you can change where he 'flies'. im not sure if it is damage dependant though. but yeah, you can save yourself by moving away from the edge when hes got you (or you can force a suicide ;))

[finalsora1]

can you do something for lucas plez

[blaze9629]

hrm that swollow+foodstool looks like a a good idea. thx

[PurexOvvnage]

Suicide throws are just fun. I noticed in melee if you were too close to the ledge when doing kirby's suicide throw only you would die and the enemy would escape somehow. That always messed me up.

[KoopaKoot]

That was great. *subscribes*

Poor souls in the PAL region should import the game (like me).

[KingdomOfHeII]

kirby seems a lot better now. Too bad is uair has been nerfed :(

[Hooktail]

Hey Omni, this is AmishTechnology. Nice vid, Kirby just seems like he retains his Melee playstyle with N64 power. Pretty standard and expected combos, but it seems like he'll be much more fun to use.

[OpalAssociation]

Nice...I'm an avid Kirby user, so this is great for me. Thanks a ton!

[ZytheJR]

nice video! very professionally done! ^^ kodos to you sir!

[ColeProductions140]

i was plannig on doing a vid like this called... i don't know, it'll come.

[RetroJello]

dang it. suicide throws were always what i did when they had 1 life and i had 2 :D oh well i think of something else.

[Ninetailedfox7]

mna that suck

I was killing it with them sacrificial K.O.s

in melee

[Ninetailedfox7]

but since he is a waay better character than melee i wont need them.

Ill just use Bowesr's(MWAHAhAhaHA)

[FinalShinobi]

This is a very good tutorial on character's movesets :) Thank you very much :)

[KonohaKingdoms]

Can you break out of Kirby's Back-throw and forward throw like in Melee?

[ruekaen]

no, you can only break out normally now.

[SlasherCheetah]

Great! I need something to hasten my wait a bit,

Bloody japan and there hatage for europe.

[RobSSBB]

I never really liked kirby but showing his combo potential has changed my ideas about him

[SnailEmperor]

That was helpful :D Thanks!

[hansesteban]

Onmigamer, give me your friends code, thanks, bay!

[CloneHat]

What is DIing?

[p11089]

Directional Influence: The art of tilting one's control stick in a direction to prevent one's self from being tossed/thrown to a spot s/he'd rather not be.

[eastheaven]

wow, "the art"

someone takes themselves too seriously

[mobfalife24]

He was obviously not being serious about that. And if he was, he was trying to sound like a mature being, unlike some people...

[eastheaven]

more like he takes himself too seriously

[Mewpwnz]

...lol

[ehsteven68]

I always wondered that LOL. But didn't want to ask.

[mobfalife24]

Haha. Well at least he gave you a solid answer.

[waddledoo812]

Kirby is so awesome in Brawl. You have to give me your friend code Omni :)

[PlasmaEXE]

Super nice video on Kirby =p

[CheaneRmaN]

great vid, can't wait for more

[TheBaggle]

Guys, don't underestimate the non-tourney players. I played melee everyday until my gamecube broke and i could beat the tourney players that i knew. Even though most casual players aren't very good, some of em are. In fact, we shouldn't even be generalizing like this. It's stupid.

[Omnigamer]

Why bring it up if it's stupid?

[JYang115]

seriously i don't understand why people feel the need to state this...its understandable that some ppl don't have the time/opportunity to participate in tourneys but that makes them casual players by nature...no matter how good you are if you have nothing to show for it (ie tournament results) but ur own word its nonsense to try to think you deserve respect from others

[Neight323]

cry about it.

[hxnwlf]

Congrats I think it's one of the single most useful videos on Brawl so far. I'll leave the kirby-playing to my own arch-nemesis, but still ... kudos.

[SdeathkrazedS]

OMNIGAMER!?!?!?!

YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT!!!!

omfg omfg omfg!

im a huge fan!

"HEY EVERYONE! THIS IS THE PRO SSBM KIRBY PLAYER"

I LUUUUUV YOU!!!!(as a friend lol)

[Xgamer245]

footstool jump is genius right there...

[superheromike]

hey this guy is pretty smart.

[OmegaXF]

Thank you for hosting these videos.

[LeNewGuy]

im a tourneyfag but i only play 2-4 of this game straight at tournaments or with friends

probably like the rest of the other tourneyfags so were rpactically casuals who go to tournaments

[Artanisix]

OPENED MY EYES MAN

[ZaneFleia]

I mourn the loss of the suicide tactics, but I still look forward to playing Kirby a ton in Brawl. He got a few buffs in other places, after all. And most importantly, he's Kirby! ^_^

[Samsasrenjet]

Excellent! I can't wait for more episodes!

[Samsasrenjet]

"Tourneyfags" are probably better players than you.

[Wiigc64]

you calling me a fag?

[TheKoosalagoopagoop]

yes i am.

[TheKoosalagoopagoop]

probably if there we no items, fox only, final destination.

any other way their battle plan is bitch bitch moan bitch.

[ZaneFleia]

You fail. Hard. A "tourneyfag" can beat an average player, end of story. Just so y'know.

[YoshiBob210]

Except "casuals" such as myself couldn't care less if you're better than us.

[Chexr]

so you admit you just suck at the game?

[RasenShuuriken]

Amazing!

[panique365]

Cool, i hope you make more of these videos

[5852672]

was there any changes to the stone (down b) move? veeeeeeeeeeeery informative so glad that the hammer is faster and isn't totally useless in the air

[finn2003]

great vid man, keep it up!

[flamingarmada]

What does DI stand for??

[flamingarmada]

whoops! didnt read other comments, soz

[PearledWaveS]

Directional Influence.

[wherethepoopareyou]

Omnigamer, what does DI mean? or anyone else who is reading this for that matter

[IRHari]

directional influence...it means lets say you get launched to the right side of the screen; if you hold left, that is your DI, you are influencing your character to move more to the right.

without DI, you might be ko'd on the right side that way, but with DI, theres a possibility of you saving yourself

[CusK77]

If you get launched straight right and DI straight left nothing happens, you have to DI up or down. DI works best perpendicular to trajectory.

[ChronoOne]

I'm not a kirby user, but this video was VERY well done, and very informative. Keep up the good work!

[SpindashStudios]

Well said Omni... love the vid. Very imformative. Nice to know Kirby's potential with particular moves and attacks.

[GenoGar]

This reminds me of show "How It's Made".

Love it. Video was very informative, awaiting episode 2.

[Fawriel]

*receives positively*

[bananadraco]

Awesome video!

Not only because I'm a Kirby main, but this was just very and extremely informative, easy to understand and with demonstrations to top it off!

Awesome and I hope to see more of them in the future!

[PearledWaveS]

With the the new ability to grab on to legdes even while facing the other way, couldn't you Final Cutter outwards and grab onto the ledge to spike? Since the third hit only lands when you hit a surface below you, grabbing onto the ledge should cancel the third hit but still carry on the spike of the second hit, right?

I posted at WifiWars, but I didn't think anybody would see it ^^;

[Omnigamer]

The Final Cutter does not grab backwards, unfortunately.

[PearledWaveS]

Oh... That kinda sucks.

[KasheMoney]

Good stuff. Unfortunately, a lot of players probably won't continue watching after the game is released. Even though it may remain a valuable skill building tool.

[kirbyfan8]

NOOOOOOOOO I cant believe kirbyciding is gone!

That was so usefull.

Still, great video Omni. Kirby was my main in both games!

[Nesaru]

You can always Bowercide... dunno which throw it was, but yeah. Funny to watch.

[drag0nfeather]

Godamn Bowsercide. [/prejudice]

[Wario30]

thank you onmni! please make more videos! maybe you could to wario or wolf or bowser next

[BpChow]

This is a really good idea. and im really interested in editing. heres my AIM: Noob8675301

Again, i would really like to edit something with this series it sounds amazing.

[sskalor]

Wow this video is so detailed and informative! And suprisingly short! I would really appreciate more videos like this in the future. I obviously plan to learn these things myself but if your willing to do vids like this then go for it!

I think it would be really good if you did one for every character, then you probs have the best SSBB going. I wish you the best of luck with future vids and I will come back every week. I will also show this to my smash friends! :D 10/10

[bizybozo]

ready for next episode

[smasher32]

Very nice. As a kirby player (in addition to playing brawl a few times already), i can agree with basically all of what you said about the brawl kirby...and i'm pretty sure you're a better kirby player than i am so it probably doesn't mean a lot ;). Looking forward to more!

[tamahagane]

Finally, a video that focuses on a normal movelist instead of just specials. Even though he's lost some things, it looks like Kirby's somewhat more balanced now, and I like it. I will miss scaring people with the random uair kills, but if it gains the ability to combo I think it's a good trade. Thanks for this Omni.

[Ecofreak]

An excellent introduction! Thanks for your hard work, and look forward to more in the future. =)

[Nicker44]

Editing is one of my great fields if you need me i am willing to help out.

[Zinth]

Good stuff.

[JonesZ808]

This was really awesome. You definitely need to keep doing this. Very usefull

[KINGROYBOY]

Thanks Omni. I main Kirby so this is very useful for when I get Brawl. Great job.

[marioparty1234]

Can Yoshi Be Next plz

[sothe25]

this is amazing but with brawl only like 3 weeks away so maybe you could make more. well it's your free time

10/10 anyways.

[coenchuz0rz]

Good job. These kind of videos are just what the Smash community needed. 5/5

- Coen, your fellow SWF moderator

[7AngelicDragons]

This is cool! I hope to see some Lucas gameplay ASAP.

[davietfoo]

Fantastic! Great description of the moveset and basic combos. Great job!

[GenericKen000]

Brilliant. I wouldn't change a thing, except perhaps increased frequency (twice a week? only a month till march). =O)

[CBmonkeyHERO]

No more Kirbicides? Damn. At least the swallow to footstool jump looks pretty cool.

Nice video. I will be looking forward to episode 2.

[bloothegreat]

Finally!!i've been looking for a vid like this for all the characters since brawl came out in japan!!! 5/5!! look forward to the next episode

[Systemofadoan34]

this was great!

id like more of these videos :D

ill be waiting for episode 2!

oh btw are you using a japanese wii or a modded wii?

[avantgardebagel]

you didn't say anything about kirby's down b. Is it still the same?

[frozengreenblob]

Apparently it has more knockback and falls faster, but it still sucks.

[Firestorm1776]

Holy crap you can use lowercase letters in your name :O

[arkivezero]

Amazing stuff 10/10

[TheMantyke]

This is awsome!

[boboblaster999]

If you need any help editing, I'll happily help out. I've been editing for alomst five years now and have some experiance. Very well done, I'm checking every week. Keep it up!

[tedbratton]

:( poor kirby

[cdl7d]

AWESOME idea for a series, and very well executed. Thanks Omni!

[Sonic079]

Thanks for demostrating how horrible brawl is.

jk.

[TheTrueTaterSalad]

I have to say this is very well done and strictly professional, I look forward to seeing next weeks character :D

[MagicalGandalf]

Very good, congratulations and thanks =).

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

AHHH, nerf'd swallowcide? No suicide throws?  T_T

Btw, keep making these.

[Kinlap]

Done very clean and professional. Very straight forward and the transitions are well done.

-atenthirtyone (wifiwars)

[TOYD3]

First of all, youll have a tough time ignoring all the people saying "DO MY CHARACTER NEXT!"

Otherwise, this is a fantastic idea, and this first episode has been done magnificantally.

[PhenomPhoenix]

the swallow to footstool jump was totally BA

[SonicTheHedgedawg]

Great Job Omni

Maybe you can start putting final smashes in there too? I mean they are character specific moves... but I guess they won't be seen in most tournaments so... whatever

[kingj521]

i have been waiting for a video kike this thanks

[TheAbnormal]

Incredibly in-depth, I can't wait for more editions - this is what we US and PAL Smashers need to prepare ourselves for Brawl!

[moozles]

Kirby seems to be buffed :P

[IndigoR]

Very good job. My only gripe with Kirby now is that his Dair doesn't seem to spike as well now.

[Stasisgel33]

very nice deep these going please

[JamesSparrow]

Cool

[SorcererAndrex]

Pit and Luigi take precedence over the other characters, do either of them next, please?

[FC523KB]

thanks alot!

[ProgmaticSilkanoid]

This was great. Finally, I get an edge for when I play against the locals. Lol, and is it possible if you could do either Marth or Ike next?

[zaser321]

there is L-cancel or cirby too fast in brawl?

[MasterWGS]

I like.

[fc21287]

Great job, keep it up!

[Kibbelz]

This is great, thanks.

[IndignantReclaimer]

Wonderful!

It's hard to find 1 on 1's, as I plan on Maining Kirby, this helps immensely ^_^ yay for me!

~Haloman_360

[krazykirby4]

Very nice and informative video.

I'd suggest showing actual gameplay of the character you're talking about in real matches, not just training mode. This would show how combos can be set-up and how to follow various DI.

I liked how you talked about every aspect of the character and the changes from melee.

[dontyrant]

u rock dude, competitive minds got 2 unite n pave the way for competitive, edge of ur seat brawl.

[XLuminaire]

Love the concept. I've been waiting for something like this for a while. Gj.
