Steve vs Kirby
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When playing Steve against Kirby, focus on utilizing your blocks to create obstacles that limit Kirby's approach options. If you anticipate Kirby performing his down special while airborne, position yourself directly underneath him and wait for him to descend; then, execute an up smash to catch him off guard as he lands. Keep in mind that Kirby's reliance on aerial attacks can be countered by your ability to mine for resources, giving you the tools to create advantageous situations. Stay aware of Kirby's ability to inhale and copy your moves, and try to maintain a distance that allows you to control the pace of the match.
Tips for Steve vs Kirby
If Kirby is in the air and is about to do a down-b, put yourself below him then you move when he's halfway there, he'll think it's no use to land with the down-b, he'll stop, and up-smash below him :)
