SSBB The Air Machine: A Kirby Combo Guide

[ApprenticeNick]

I wasn't sure if I should like or not at first. Then the last song came on. Welcome to my favorites...

[SuperWeeNinja]

It's called edgeguarding. Not lucky jump.

[raphmaster1999]

thnx i was trying to get good with kirby and i found this u made me preetty darn good

[jericho814]

before i watched this i kirbysided

[DemonofKazumi]

So I like most of your tips but a couple are just sticking out in my mind that I found that the moves were still useful. The Nair and the ground hammer work well if you know when to use it. Nair can be linked into combos even if it's the slowest aerial. It mostly can link into the Bair. The ground hammer can be used if let's say Fox is using his L/R+B move and tries to get back onto the map. If you know where he's going to end up, the ground hammer is useful as a counter.

[GoldenKirby507]

hey .. you forgot me please ! I challenge you! to 2 kirby fight , you tought me how to use kirby and now im well trained for a match ! PLEASE let me now when to fight and I will give you my freind code , the only problem to challenge me in a fight is that I have low wifi = lagg..! but I will enjoy XD PLEASE XD!!! I will be waiting for the challenge ! pro!

[TekaiGuy]

GOD this is old, but hey YT unmuted the music so I guess everyone can enjoy it again. In retrospect, I'll admit that most of this video is wrong and you should take it with a grain of salt. And for anyone still asking, I've moved on from Kirby and I main ROB now so you're out of luck. x_x

[nile3810]

i really want to play you -.- because i have a big feeling that i can beat you because thats exactly how i use kirby

[Resbogema]

What was the music please?

[Hrsk2Y]

What the hell are u saying, never use neutral air? It is an usefull attack if u can use it!

[CookieGangter]

there is absoulutely nothing wrong with kirbys nair it may be slow if u have bad timing but it has absolutly no landing lag. also the fairs r better used for defense. bairs u-airs and uptilts r the best moves for punishing your oppenent and leading to combos. and fsmashes for oppurtunitys or finishes.

[MrRobCorso]

I found a great combo while testing ur "lucky jump;" When you recover, use upB's second strike spike, its perfect timing, it kills deadly (very hard to do, but, if you've ever seen mario meteosmash you, it has about the same power) I use it as a MS

[VixXstazosJOB]

an another thing I like about him is that he can be really "versatylle" (guess if wrote right) cause the habilities you can get and try to put to work some tactics that you can have more fun with that. I often do a "mess of war" when I'm fighting a Snake and I get his grenades and I kinda use them better than him (^-^ lol ^-^)

[Rhy2412]

kirbycide is effective when done correctly like you did in the vid,i do it when someone is off the edge,most think i will edgehog them but when i kirbycide them by surprise most players end up dying. kirby has few weaknesses, floaty,slow and somewhat predictable recovery,light weight, vunerable to vertical ko's . the ko and floatyness are the main ones a kirby player has to watch out for. other than that he has a great ground game,awesome air game, great grabs, and one of the longest recoveries.

[VixXstazosJOB]

@Rhy2412 and just another thing, he's kinda weak against "swordmen" characters cause he's light but he is still awesome. One of my mains chars since the first

[Rhy2412]

@VixXstazosJOB he has a slight disadvantage against characters with long reach or hisjointed moves. kirby has some awesome edgeguarding moves that only the other flying characters have,and he has reliable kill moves.

[Ree301]

what kind of new people are you playing in this video? everyone in the world knows to grab Kirby's down-b in cool down. Every one of them tried to attack it, and had terrible timing to boot. Kirby-cide...most children could've broken out of the one you showed there, then foot stool'd you for and easy gimp kill. The theory is nice, but it sounds like it's cut and pasted from smash boards with some added cocky attitude and fanboy-ism. You're bad at the game OR you chose to show some poor examples.

[TekaiGuy]

@Ree301 Actually many people don't know how to punish Kirby's rock which is why it's such a good move. And kirbycide? You realize how fast you need to button mash to escape? and if they do manage to get out kirby can chase them in the air for a kill? Dude lrn2brawl before you post dumb logic comments on my already insanely popular video n00b.

[Resbogema]

What was the name of the song please ? I love it !

[supercalfragalistiou]

whats your friend code tekai

[yupigumm1]

where do you get that game? pleass i will rate you 5 stars

[REALmyenemy]

I didn't know that of the kirbycide. I'll use it... thanks

[NeosDragon25]

I always lose to a pikachu... It thunders so it's so hard to grab... can you tell me a tip???

[rawrthewolf]

@NeosDragon25 if they spam thunder spam your up-b, just annoy them with your spam til they dont use thunder as much

[teamnephthys]

13th on the tier list. sorry. my mistake

[teamnephthys]

most amazing "how to play kirby" video everrr!!!!!!!! if there is a better one out there... well... there isn't so... nvm.

i main kirby (not as well as takaiguy here) and this video is the exact reason why kirby is 9th on the tier list.

i should start practicing non-air rock form. seems like a good set-up for combos.

[ShadowSaberBaroxio]

@teamnephthys Umm...Kirby is currently, and has been for quite a while, number 13 on the tier list.

Interestingly enough though, he's the only character to move up a rank (into A rank) without changing his actual position.

For a character whose metagame is incredibly stagnate, thats pretty darn impressive to consistently score as high as he does.

Come on, we need new metagamefor Kirby or he'll get let behind in the dust! Lets all do our very best!

[teamnephthys]

hahaha. i believe i did correct myself 5 days ago did i not? lol

and yes kirby is amazing. his attacks may be somewhat slow, but it's understandable seeing as how his hit box is bigger than almost every other character in his tier list and some of the ones above it. lol.

kirby ftw! (>'-')>

[afonlagaf]

great video! maybe i'll be a little less a shit now XD

[yppers]

drill kick in the first smash was real rape

[StealTheChaos]

u are the kirby's good

[DisarrayINC]

Even though he states the neutral air as useless, if you look at gonzo, he managed to incorporate it into loads of his combos, It does have uses.

[megabiggn]

u forgot the neutral air

take use of it!!!

[TheSuperNinjaKirby]

For all of you kirby players out there that like to use the Smash ball, I suggest using ur final smash in the air so that the enemy is more likely to be sent high enough to be KOed. I'm no where near as good as TekaiGuy here, but I did notice this while playing.

[nicholasmaspono]

FAIL 1:29 to like 1:34 could easily be countered with a shield grab

[WALUIGUI]

orale juegas xidooo a kirby¡¡

[RatchetPrower]

...Er, nevertheless, of course, still, good video...I tend to come on a bit strong...XD

[RatchetPrower]

I don't think it's very good advice, saying to NEVER use Nair or Ground-Hammer...same with telling people that they SHOULD spam/Kirbycide.

I've been playing Kirby for a long time, and I've gotten some great hits with Nair/Ground-Hammer; it's all about setup.

If the enemy spams, you show them who's boss. You go up to them and beat them to death, no matter WHAT they are spamming.

Kirbycide is a one-way ticket to getting people to call you cheap and flame you AND Kirby.

[AngelicxKaede]

Great job on the video! I'm going to try these asap 8D I'm a Kirby fighter but I hardly do those =/ Those are much better than my combos xD

[supersmashbrawler100]

HMM. Maybe I should use Kirby more often now XD

[chuimistro]

Great video man!

[jiimy1969]

kirby rulez!!! wajaja now I'll be able to practice these moves n.n and improve my game ^^

[toastedrabbits]

Thanks for the tips annd, the MSI song. <3

[Marci124]

how can be 4:04 be done? I don't remember it. Maybe its an item...

[DarkAurora94]

Its Kirbys Up throw.

[jaco6chicken8]

use kirby's nair. it's most laggy in the air but when you use it right before you touch the ground then it has the least lag. just like ike's and lucario's nair.

[Kiki099]

wow thanks for posting this now im even better with kirby

[redtyrant17]

great vid but u forgot 1 part about kirbys incredibleness lol instead of usin the kirbycide and killin urself, while in the air u can copy ur enemy sendin them to the side just barly past you and lettin them fall and you can recover thanks to kirbys 5 jump (or 6 jump not sure wich) and ud save urself a life but kill ur enemy easily

[lebltherebel226]

Wow. I know how to do everything with Kirby but combo. Now I should be able to best my friend who's been playing since '64 :) Thanks!

[kirbymage]

AWESOME VIDEO!

[Britishcootes]

meh i call lucky jump, a dair with a footstool :D

[dodoweirdo]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!

ps kirby rocs!!!!!!!

[alexroksdaworld]

Ive played the Nintendo 64 Smash Bros is kirby stronger in the new one?????

[brianizaninjaa]

This video was so helpful! I won a tourney while using Kirby thanks to this vid. TekaiGuy pure genius.

[ihave2cows]

ive practically mastered kirby and im still coming back here to check up on stuff, ur awesome dood!

[FinalGamerX]

I though Jigglypuff was the Wall O' Pain?

[Flamexthexninja]

Thank you for the good combos! And great video!

[Hawkofwar500]

Well the song sucks but meh.

good to see another kirby player out there. ROOTIN FOR YOU BRO.

[ChuChuGon]

Great song. Great pwnage. Poor failing fox. D:

[XxGuildWarsGodxX]

LOL luv the song

[professornoob]

whats teh first song?

and whered u get the pic at 0:32?

[Hurley1080]

did you watch the whole video?

[professornoob]

depends on the flavor of the milkanade

[Giraffasaur]

Short Hop Nair into Standard A attack = FTW damage building.

[Haik000]

dude awsome vid and thanks a lot for the tips. I just started playing SSBM again and i needed some tips and this did it. TNX a lot! KIRBY FTW!!!

[Largosmetal]

Lol at this saying it's fast. Probably never played Melee

[professornoob]

i found that on a stage that has solid groud. like one long solid platform, suck the enimy into ure mouth and jump under the map then spit them out. you may now fly up to the top safely. works better on someone like falco whos up b move sucks

[Zoo2be411]

If you jump three times off the ground, drill spike, and then use nair, the animation for nair is canceled but still does damage. Just wanted to point that out :).

[DonutSlayer27]

these combos are beast, I have to try them

[rthrgh]

Best music...Billy talent (best band next to offspring)and another song i dont know.

[uniquesheikfreak]

I disagree on a few elements. The Nair is effective; it still connects through an air dodge because the effect last through the whole animation. It depends on if you know how to use it.

Also, ground hammer is effective for mindgames, preferably for surprise reversal.

Third, don't have to "Kirbycide." If you suck at evasion, you can stay close to the edge, swallow and spit under stage, then end with Bair, or keep em at bay with Dair.

Other than that, not bad. Don't forget chain grabs.

[TekaiGuy]

thanks for the tips, but this video is kinda old and I play a little different now. everything you said was true except that ground hammer sux, it doesnt take mindgames to connect with it, it takes luck because it has such short range =_=

[uniquesheikfreak]

Hmhm, what ya thought it was all bout skill?

80% Skill 15% Character Choice 5% Luck.

'Course, I could be wrong. I use ground hammer bout once every three or so battles, just ta test that 5% percent.

All in all, Yoshi and Kirby = Brawl Gods.

[ihave2cows]

for me its 20% luck, at least when the opponent uses deedeedee or peach that is -_- why do they always pull a bomb on ME?

[uniquesheikfreak]

Funny you mentioned that, lately every match w/Peach I pulled out at least one item from the ground.

No, I don't pull up 50 turnips in one battle.

[elzilcho222]

i thought yoshi sucked

[uniquesheikfreak]

Depends. Spammers enforce that theory by throwin eggs all day, and doin the Yoshi Bomb every time they're above their opponent. Face a real Yoshi user, you'll see a difference, and you may even be impressed. Tiers may play some importance in battle, but nothing beats pure skill.

[Rhy2412]

@TekaiGuy alot of people forget that when your facing kirby is to stay away from the edges. thats one of kirby's strong points. u can fight him by the edge but its risky with his supeior edge guarding skills. all of of air attacks come out fast,ecspecially his back-air which is one of his fastest kill moves,forward smash being his prime kill move because of its speed. just stay away from the edges ppl its not worth it, with his awesome edge gaurding skills.

[GameAtheist]

O-O wow ur really good im definently gonna try these.

[linkinfan12]

o ok thnx

[linkinfan12]

whats fair,nair,uair etc.?

[TekaiGuy]

Forward arial attack, neutral air attack, etc.

[pouya97]

kirby is one of the best not because of his copy ability, but because of its speed, can fly, can eat enemies sun (the thing you can make bigger)+ Very good air attack, and useful stone ability

[Porygon64]

Whats the song at 3:16?

[lucasmoua09]

EPIC FAIL

[dburton16]

MCR sucks

[mutzt1]

love it :P

[Whistt]

hahaha, when you were talking about stone and in the clip with the angled platform you put in "dipshit->". Didn't expect to see that.

[jcorral1993]

im still deciding between capt. falcon or kirby for my best characters

[FrogDude14]

Isn't it obvious? Kirby with Captain Falcon Helmet! "Falcon... PUNCH!"

[rarehl]

o.o

FALCON BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[PowerPixer]

Always have your opponent nearby you undress not even a second strike and that does not have time to avoid

[olmaster7]

i read that your not taking any more chalenges but ive won a few competitions with kirby before i watched this video and i want to know if im acually good or if the people that i played sucked and i can tell your really good so will you please just accept this challenge

[attackofthekirby]

Things you forgot:

Kirby has excessively powerful DI, so it can take into the 170s to kill him.

Kirby has ridiculously high Priority. This bitch cancels out IKE!

[SolorisSiege]

HAHAHAHAHA its fuunny cause i have a friend who plays ike and spams..ill be gettin a kirby now

[ihave2cows]

well like said it takes skill to use and u guys better not be implying that ike is cheap. . . its ppl who are spam whores with him

[pramanduj]

usefull... really freaking useful xD

thx men

[plastiko1291]

dude ur the best kirby player i've ever seen

i wanna be like you when i grow up, LOL

gratz (:

[mutzt1]

youre the best kirby player for me :p

when i kook this vid i only want to fight with kirb

if u want we can fight, send me a message^^

oh yes 5*

[NeoUzzy]

still alive jonathan coulton

if i look this up i get a whole different song what did you do to the pitch of it :p..

[TekaiGuy]

when I looked up the song thats who made it they said. -.-; If you want this song, try searching Portal: Still Alive. That should work :]

[NeoUzzy]

kej tx im getting the hang of kirby btw =D

and i didnt say good video yet ^^:p

[J4m13Cl34ry]

nice

[ducky984]

i use Nair alot though u can use it after other aerials to combo

[DeltaX000]

you can...but in the air, like, when ur pret-ty high up there, it WILL lag, like badly. if youre using it into a fastfall, its ok, because it has no landing lag...i think someone said this before =/..because you CAN use it as an approach, but just not in the air, unless you want to get.. (restraining from word "combo")...attacked alot. =/

[TekaiGuy]

yeah I actually figured this out not long after I uploaded the video but im too lazy to fix it. Thanks for putting into words for me though! :]

[campa9698]

You're the best Kirby ive ever seen AWESOME!

[Dortiz965]

what level are the computers you're facing? because i haven't seen an air dodge from any of them

[TekaiGuy]

ugh... I hate anality... they're all level 9!

:D

[RazrXtaZr]

i wanna fight u and meta knight vs kirby is a trade mark kiby's cool but i use him on easy ppl because they can never catch me

[DeltaX000]

omg man this video is awesome. ur a superb kirby, and im glad to say this helped my kirby out ALOT. THX =}

[chaos11011]

hey tekaiguy I watch this video every day so ya wanna be freinds

[ZeroX2Fire]

wow, the quality sucks but your play makes it look like the quality is awesome lol.

[TekaiGuy]

thanks ^^... I think, ya wanna get (buy) a better way to capture vids before i release another one -_-:

[waspjerk1]

[antonio542000]

[ihave2cows]

LIES!!!

[Blackshark93]

5*^^

[ihave2cows]

aw this is awesome dude, thanks for loading it im training my kirby

btw when i use my stone when my oppenent gets outa the way i exit out right before hitting the ground and use the hammer of DOOM!

[trojanjoe14]

u don't scare me

[KeepSmackin]

u are teh master

[LeanMeanWolf]

whats the second song?

[FtwProductionz1]

Thats why characters like Kirby can kick ass.

[CheeseBon]

this video excels in both content and deliverence! KIRBY RULES ALL SMASH!!! (not melee though..)

[Diokiri97]

personally, I think Jigglypuff is DEFINITELY more of an air machine than kirby. in terms of air combos, jigglypuff is definitely number one. but kirby is my number two.

[goodeats4life]

yay MSI :D woot

[DracoFlame67]

It's not really lucky jump since it almost always happens if you connect with every hit of the Dair

[ThePruductions]

lucky is his brawl name. he named it after that not because of the definition of lucky

[ThePruductions]

That was like the awesomeest training vid ever

[Davin800]

Nice vid...i might take up some kirby training.

c('.'c) <--- Kirby FTW

[xMidnightSin]

haha, god isn`t real he didn't create the stop button

[ThePruductions]

Lol God is real you silly little goose.

[IvoryDragonfly]

not according to scripture, remember that, and to not troll good SSBB vids with babble is a good idea all around

[zunv]

U are wrong in your video,

I must thank YOU!!!

THANK YOU!!!

and: great job, respect^^

[halogodandy]

wow nice vid man.u did a really good job on this. nice =) =| =D

[kronic1oo1]

the doble suicide with the slash ive tried it but it kills me first isnt that bad for 1 life 1 life and 0 damage?

[03kingh]

plus the first song pwns lol

[03kingh]

umm wats an air dodge btw >.>

[rainbowkirby]

Pressing Z, L, or R in the air results a dodge. It also helps stop you from flying too far.

[ChoujiMan]

How "dair" you...show us such an awesome combo video.

[ThePruductions]

lol

[TheHappyBean123]

Nice video man.

[Macizo4o9]

GO KIRBY!

[miragebird]

Nice! also you can inhale by the edge wait till the oppoent struggles free and drill them, thought if they jump instantly it doesn't work.

[Mariomasta1]

man kirby cant die in most smashes

[ChequioCrak]

Muy buen video, sinceramente me a sorprendido.. gracias al video mejorare con mi kirby, thanks. ^^

[vitomanez]

Awesome vid, awesome songs (BILLY TALENT FTW)!

You win.

[GAMEELO]

realy good combos you pwn with kirby O_o

[beowolf203]

Hi my Fc 3995-6161-8524 name is viper

[oononsense]

good video. i think from this kirby video i picked up fair-hammer/ fair-up B/ fair-uair

[swakvar]

thanks! u'r best:D

[jebril]

It's cuz you turned straight.

[tjovaughn]

do you know how to do the fast down kick grab?

cause ive been seeing it but when i do it his whole body bounces and not just his legs

also there is a combo if you do his run attack and then over A (no smash) with other stuff to add on

[tjovaughn]

god ive been ryin to figure out how to use get the fast down grab cause when i do it his like entire body bounces and in this its just his legs

[Birdlova]

I know good Kirby combos, but not like those ones. But, with Metaknight I have excellent combos

[CrusaderZero]

Argh i cant even do combos >_>.Awesome video , what controller are u using anyway?

[jebril]

GC is the best.

[brown1983]

out of curiosity.. do you have anything against the classic.. have you used it at all? Why GC for you?

[miragebird]

brow1983-What the Gamecube controller? has 2 joysticks to set attacks too, the classic doesn't use both joysticks.

[chatobox]

no se de que te alegras tanto no eres la gran cosa ni tus movimientos tampoco

[jebril]

Lucky has beaten all Kirby's who have played with him except Gonzo, they're tied.....I'm so jealous of him he beats me in all my Smash Bros. life, LMFAO.

[TekaiGuy]

LAWL i can't beat you at DOA4 though, fo shizzle!

[ducky984]

wow no one has posted the combo i found but hey i found similar but i got it once where i got to where 0-60 perecent kill it was alot of luck though

[LeanMeanWolf]

can you mail it to me? ^^ i would appreciate it

[hypersonic9t]

fo that drill kick and foot stool kick becareful i was at high percentage did it to sonic, he used his spring thing, flew up, up aired me and i DIED!

[Skamanifesto22]

One other thing, you rely WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much on smashes, use your tilts for god's sake.

[zabeon]

I wish had wi-fi so I could battle you. It sounds like you almost battle like me. I have a friend that plays with Zelda and he only use 6 attacks. The smashes, Bair/Nair, and smash B, and he always use them in a pattern making him a very easy opponent. And I totally agree with your other comment, Kirby's Nair has done wonders for me. When I saw the vid, I said these combos must be done on noobs.

[jebril]

Kirbys tilts are good for combos but can't kill.

[Skamanifesto22]

ok several things are VERY WRONG with your video.The first combo you did is not good advice to follow at all, your opponent apparently cant DI or airdodge. Next thing, Nair IS ESENTIAL TO BECOMIN "PRO" KIRBY., you can auto cancel it and follow it up with tilts, it is BY FAR his best aerial at close range. At 2:54 you should have spit fox out and undercided him. 4:10 Stairway DOES NOT work on people who can air dodge and DI. 4:09, you missed out on 25% damage because you did not kirbycombo.

[zabeon]

what does di stand for?

[gameboy00]

directional influence

[jebril]

Shut up it's a Guide to comboing, not a Combo video, Lucky already knows how to fucking combo with Kirby go tell this shit to a noob Kirby not a Kirby who's on Gonzo's level.
