Kirby vs Marth
Matchup Tips and Strategies
To effectively play Kirby against Marth, focus on utilizing your mobility to dodge Marth's sword attacks while looking for opportunities to punish with Kirby's quick aerials, like nair and fair. Use your inhale to absorb Marth's projectiles and set up for a surprise attack, but be cautious of his counter, which can punish you if you overcommit. If you find yourself at high percentage, consider using your down special to attempt to inhale Marth and jump off the stage; while this results in both players losing a stock, it can be a strategic move to even the game. Positioning yourself close to the edge can also create opportunities for edge-guarding with Kirby's strong back air, which can catch Marth off guard if he tries to recover low.
