Kirby (Super Smash Flash)

Kirby is a playable veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash coming from the Kirby series. As explained by game's creator, Gregory McLeod, he was unable to properly code Kirby's characteristic ability to swallow and copy his opponents' attacks, he instead opted to add the ability to switch places with using his s. His moveset comprises mostly kicks. He uses his Kirby Super Star sprite sheet.

Kirby is ranked 16th on the tier list, solidly in the middle. Kirby has one of the best recoveries in game, with 5 midair jumps and a solid air speed. Kirby becomes intangible when switching places with Meta Knight. He has decent instant kill options, including his up attack, down attack, and down air.

Despite this, Kirby lacks range and projectiles, giving him difficulties fighting opponents who specialize in long range combat. Kirby is also overall obsoleted by Meta Knight, as Meta Knight has better mobility, better kill moves, more range, and a momentum cancel move.

Trivia

 * Kirby's rapid kick attack for his up and down aerial attacks resembles the Fury Stomp and the Pit Point Kick respectively from his Suplex ability in Kirby Super Star.
 * It should be noted that the frames used for that attack are actually the sprites of Kirby standing on a slope.
