Are there any tips on how to beat Kirby when people use them? I always say no and they flip out on me for not letting them be who they want to be since Kirby is OP.

No you are very wrong, some characters are very OP.

In what way is this fair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36fqFU7hlsc
Basically if metaknight has 1 stock ahead he can stall the timer out. Which isn't hard to do considering metaknight is overpowered and fast

SSBB Kirby isn't OP
If they spam the down attack, just do what the other guy said and dodge/grab to punish them for it.

Lol, I can beat Meta Knight with Bowser.

I'm sure you're talking casual non serious play with items and bad stages. If you don't believe there are OP characters you're just ignorant.

If you want to beat kirby use marth or any character that has a longer reach and can out space kirby.

In situations like those there isn't much you can do until you hit a certain percentage (or in the case of laser lock, fall off the stage).

When playing against falco: don't trip

btw I was commenting on the "spamming isn't wrong" statement not the invincible move one.

[quote=goatman0079]Ok, first of all, there's no OP character in Smash Bros. (I'm presuming you are talking about Brawl), there are only skilled players and unskilled players. Also, its easy to fight Kirby. The rock is easy to dodge, jump when they use the sword, use your long range moves on their uber punches. If you get hit by the hammer, you are just unlucky. 2nd of all, the only reason why you think Kirby is OP is because he is a mid-range character. he is good at both long and short range combat but excels at neither unlike Ike/Marth(short range) or Pit/Snake(long(ish) range). If you feel Kirby is OP, then try playing as Kirby. If it is soo "OP" you should get first place every time you play Smash Bros. against other people.[/quote]

If there are no such thing as OP characters can you explain the majority of Meta Knights winning tournaments. Not to mention places after 1st place are still taken by Meta Knight and the occassional Olimar or Ice Climber?

Tier list implies how much skill it takes to use a certain character.

Kirby is second place in the 64 list.

Melee Kirby is horribad and Brawl Kirby is a OP Basic Brawl sweeper. Unless he spams. I sometimes wonder how people think they'll win by spamming an attack that takes 5 seconds to even perform. It disappoints me more when they don't know how to even cancel it earlier.

If I were you though, I'd just go Bowser and Down B them back.

Shouldn't be that hard. Generally you probably need more practice on sidestepping and dodging. You can harass Kirby easily from afar.

I have to agree. He's rank one for a reason. He dominates all of the tournaments.

I play as kirby. He's actually ranked kinda low.
About the rock thing above, most kirby players don't go anywhere near that move, but if they do, that's a good way to get them.

What problems are you having with kirby?
@NekoChan: Isn't samus' one of, if not the slowest grab attack in the game. If they can't manage to dodge that then it's their fault.

[quote=NekoChan]If you're Pit, just use Wings of Icarus when they rock near an edge to push them off, since WoL has a little gust of air when cast. Also it'll help if you're just more skilled than them. Characters don't really matter if your skills are superior.

Off topic:
Oh god TS is one of those whiny lil'sore losers. Kirby is not OP, on the tier list Kirby is in the E block ranked at 20. All you're doing is blaming a character for being "OP" as an excuse for lack of skill. I may find this a little more annoying than some people as I'm restricted in using pit most of the time, against friends when playing brawl, because apparently using Angel's Ring and the Arrow from time to time is considered spamming; which is even more annoying when they spam their character's side specials and normal specials even more than I do now. I had cut down on using them, like rarely to build up damage or edge guarding, yet it's still "spamming", dam that's just annoying. But lucky me I can still do decently well with all the characters; except Peach, despite her nice chain throwing abilities; and that I still have some sub-mains like Zamus, Fox, Ike, and Shiek/Zelda. I'm only giving this kinda off topic paragraph because I just played brawl today and it was annoying, during an all out battle with our mains, I lost using Pit. All because of all the time I wasn't allowed to use him, or there would be whining, I've actually lost touch in using him. Heck, I was thinking of switching mains to Zamus, but then they complain about the length of her whip. Which I don't even understand really, why the heck are the complaining, I'm always coming in 3rd or 4th anyways; out of 5~6 people.[/quote]

Brawl or Melee?
But I'll assume you mean Brawl because Kirby is crap in Melee.

dodge his rock attack, and as soon as they untransform bash the heck out of them.
Also, if they spam the sword, just guard it and it leaves them open for attack, or roll to the other side.

Who wouldn't be pissed off if you didn't let them choose their own character?
And Kirby is not OP. If anyone is OP, it's Meta Knight.

whenever they transform into a rock, hurry and dodge and press the grab button. They always get sooo pissed at me for doing this.
This also works when ANY character uses their block or protection move
