  • Discussing UltRank's 2026 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tier List

    Discussing UltRank's 2026 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tier List
    Jul 7 2026
    We know listeners have been requesting more Smash Bros. content, so today we're going deep into the weeds of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate meta with friend of the show Lucy "Winters" Hayes (@lucyelise.bsky.social on Bluesky). Lucy is a longtime Smash Bros. competitive player and commentator, and Sean and Gigi are talking with her about UltRank's carefully assembled 2026 SSBU tier list that was just posted in May. (You can find the list here, and it may be helpful to look at during our conversation.) As Sean and Gigi ask questions about the list, Lucy is more than happy to provide a wealth of knowledge on why the competitive community ranks different characters the way they do. We also discuss what characters may still have unexplored potential, how interested players can start getting involved in their local Smash Bros. scenes., and the other fighting games Lucy's been enjoying lately. Questions or comments about the show? Are there any changes you would make to UltRank's new tier list? We always love hearing from listeners, and you can reach us at mail@kirbyconversations.com or submit your question to us on social media.Sean also has a new podcast covering the GameCube, Dreamcast, and other games of the 2000s called Millennium Edition, and we hope you will subscribe to that one as well!

  • Don't Sleep on Kirby Battle Royale (But Do Use the Sleep Ability)

    Don't Sleep on Kirby Battle Royale (But Do Use the Sleep Ability)
    Jun 3 2026

    Kirby Battle Royale is a game often considered one of the worst Kirby games, and it was no doubt disappointing that the game wasn't larger in scope or equipped with better online features (especially for a game all about multiplayer battles). But behind the game's flaws is a clever minigame collection with surprisingly good 3D Kirby combat, a lot of unlockables, and creative experiments that still make the game stand out today. It was the first Kirby game to offer native support for online multiplayer, it offered post-launch DLC, and it gave players the rare opportunity to vote on new abilities to add to the game (introducing the only appearance of Sleep as a combat ability). While it might have fallen short of its potential, it's not short on fun gameplay, so for this episode, Sean, Gigi, and Bridget are giving Royale the royal treatment to show how you can acknowledge the game's flaws while still finding a lot to enjoy in it.

  • More Non-Kirby Games We'd Recommend to Kirby Fans

    More Non-Kirby Games We'd Recommend to Kirby Fans
    May 5 2026

    What makes a game a good Kirby-adjacent recommendation? Is it the ability to use enemy powers? Smash Bros.-like controls? Or maybe just solid platforming with a round, memorable character? For this episode, we cover all of these elements and more with another list of non-Kirby games we think Kirby fans should try. We're deliberately going in this weeds with some of these choices, spanning multiple consoles and even one never-released Super Famicom title, and we hope you walk away having learned about at least a few new games you want to check out.
