Hey guys! Just an interesting concept I've been thinking about, what are Kirby's best and worst moves? I personally think Dtilt is his best because it lowers his hurtbox, has amazing speed and safety, and incredible reward on hit. It was close between this and his other tilts, but this one is just the best combination of speed, reward, safety, and utility, and IMHO one of the best Dtilts in the game! As for his worst, Dair actually takes the cake. As Kirby's meta has progressed, we've become fully aware that the reward of this move is very low, while the risk is way high. You may think "but wait BitBitio, it's a combo starter, shield poke, and edgeguard tool. True, and I'm not saying the move isn't useful, it's just that it's niche uses are generally outclassed by his other aerials-All of his other aerials, if used while falling, have a greater frame advantage for Kirby than Dair's landing hit, meaning that he can combo better with any other aerial than Dair for low to mid-high percents. Additionally, it's way easier to live offstage after being hit by it than you think, further reducing its utility. Nair beats it out both as a combo tool and even an edgeguard tool in some circumstances, with lower startup and landing lag, comparable endlag, big hitboxes, and good power. Is Dair outright bad? No, it's just mediocre. Kirby has a great moveset, but this Dair just has the least utility and reward, while not gaining in safety. Other contenders like Jab and Hammer have lower risk and higher reward, respectively, while possessing similar amounts of the other to Dair.
Anyway, feel free to post your own opinion on this, but keep it Smash-related and be nice.
P.S, on the poll, I couldn't figure out how to make two questions, so just resubmit your vote if you misunderstood the instructions for voting.
