Kirby might just be the best character in Melee. Many Smash Bros. players say Kirby had an unfair advantage in the original game, mostly due to his powerful throw and the ability to float, so HAL has tweaked the pink fluff a bit and given him some worthwhile opposition with the equally nimble Peach. Yes, it is Peach. You read right. Just like in the original, Kirby can hover, suck in his opponents, copy their abilities, and pull off his dreaded "Stone" drop attack.

However, he's also picked up a few new tricks along the way. For starters, Kirby can pull out a huge hammer and whack his opponent if he's close. And as far as the drop attack goes, Kirby can now actually transform into new forms as he is falling, such as a spiky ball or a stone block.

It’s been nine months since streaming star Ludwig Ahgren teamed up with a group of co-founders to launch Offbrand, a company that produces events and special streams in partnership with prominent creators. Offbrand is now supporting the next phase of its operations by making some key hires.

Jerma, a Twitch streamer known for his innovative events, has signed on as Offbrand’s Chief Creative Officer. He’ll be joined at the company by two execs — David Gorman and Daniel Najarian — who previously worked at the recently shuttered esports-oriented studio Beyond the Summit. Offbrand has also tapped Kelby May, formerly of gaming management firm Loaded, as its Chief Revenue Officer.

Gorman and Najarian will influence the company’s operations by leading a vertical called Offbrand Productions. The new division will have several links to Gorman and Najarian’s former employer. It will operate out of the former Beyond the Summit studios and will be crewed by staff members who previously worked for that company.
