Is Down Air Kirby's Best/Worst Move? In Depth Look and Analysis

Ойындар

Kirby's Down Air is a hot topic in Smash Ultimate. PJiggle's video about every character's worst move caused a lot of confusion in the smash world, causing arguments to erupt every time it gets brought up. I wanted to give my thoughts on the subject! I initially just wanted this to be like a 4-5 minute opinion piece, but I just keep adding more and more stuff on

    Oh, look, it's me! I also made the DAir advantage doc, and to briefly explain the "opponent's position matters" thing: The numbers listed in the Landing DAir portion of the doc are the absolute minimum advantage we can get. However, if the opponent lands, we get some extra, inconsistent advantage. Take Bowser for example: if he didn't land, he'd only be +1. Although he is forced to land, hitting the final hit before the landing hit and/or the Bowser SDIing down means our minimum advantage when he lands is +3, 1 frame off UTilt. Some characters are never forced to land and that number will always apply. As a side note, the way the multi-hits send certain characters can make the landing hit just... miss? One of the worst offenders in my experience is Captain Falcon. It has to do with their hurt animation and hurtbox shifting, but it's overall just kind of weird that this is another problem on top of its many others.

    Dair is too slow (frame 18 start up). If it were faster, it'd be one of his best moves. It's great for catching certain recoveries, and randomly clanks with things that most people don't expect it to. Nair may be a better general edge guard tool, but Dair can be used to drag he opponent down for an early stock by stringing multiple Dairs together (this is pretty character specific though). It's "combos" most of which aren't technically true, but some of them are pretty close to true, and they are easier to perform than comboing off of his other aerials (at least for me.) Overall, It's far from his best move, but I also think it's significantly more useful than his worst (probably hammer flip). It seems more of a middle of the pack move that has just solidified itself as a part of Kirby's identity in my opinion, so people form strong opinions about it. And for those that are curious, Kirby's best move is 100% squish kick (that's the official name of his down tilt) The move is dope.

    Give it less startup (maybe around frame 15), make the spike stronger (spike hitbox deals more damage with no compensation on knockback), and give it less landing lag (12 or 13 frames). There will probably be a lot of people claiming this is unnecessary, but I do very much agree that this is quite possibly the most overrated move in Ultimate. It's definitely not as bad as hammer in my opinion, but it’s still a definite contender for his worst move.

Characters like mario or marth when hit with kirbys d-air at around 70 can be sent low enough so their up b doesn't make it. Also because of Kirby's multiple jumps, you can keep hitting them until they can't recover. It works for me.

    LazyKirby57 Mr. R and Glutonny put him in C tier and Dabuz puts him as the second-best bottom tier in their most recent tier lists, ESAM puts him as the best 4.0 character. I’d have to disagree by a fair amount since his results are more impressive than some of the low and even mid tier characters (Brawler, Swordfighter, Dorf, Puff, K. Rool). He’s one of the only characters in the game that can be used to legitimately fight Palutena, which is why Komota beat Jumpsteady (the latter is probably the best Palu player in SoCal). Aside from her, he can also do well against Fox, Lucina, space animals, Ness, and Wii Fit. His crouch is surprisingly strong and his defensive/ground game is equally as strong because of his fast frame data and moves that chain fluently. As for Mac his ground game is excellent as well but having a nonexistent air game means his flaws will overpower him. Even his ground game has issues (short range and vulnerable to combos due to his fast falling speed). Ganon has an air game. Corrin has one. K. Rool as well. Every character except Mac can at least function in one way or more in the air. I’m quite surprised that people don’t put Dorf as the worst tbh.

    Noah Saltz Which is not the case. His buffs in 6.0.0 were pretty huge, which in turn, greatly improved his results. Yeah they’re not great, but those are more impressive than some of the low and even mid tier characters. Literally everything (except down air and maybe his grabs) he had in Smash 4, he got better at. Fsmash has more range and KO power. Inhale, neutral/up air are hella lot more useful. His MU spread is better. His playerbase isn’t as reliant on a few specific players. His results are superior. Some characters “improved” haven’t gotten the degree of success Kirby has gotten. Ganon, Swordfighter, Brawler - gimme one notable result they had last month.

    I think a big reason why people tend to gravitate towards kirby's dair is because it's a multihit. Multihits tend to be overused for whatever reason by newer players (ness fair, yoshi dair, etc) even when they really aren't that useful compared to the character's other options.

    That comment arguing about samus jab is also incorrect lol Anyone who doesn’t play samus in this game always says jab is the worst move in her kit because it doesn’t combo, but the thing is, jab1 has less lag on it than a majority of other jabs in the game. This makes it a remarkable interruption tool that lets her poke and run, or poke and see how the opponent reacts much better than anyone else’s jab. If they try to jab you in between, you can jump over to cross up bair, or you can run back and pivot grab. Since it’s her quickest grounded option, it’s crucial for her. Homing missiles on the other hand sucks ass. Everything PJiggles mentioned applies. Sure they “apply pressure” but most projectiles are intended to make the opponent move away or combo into other things. Homing missiles, with their terrible turning radius, high lag, and the ability to swat them out of the sky for free, don’t really make the opponent move. Hell most of the time they don’t need to move out of the way to avoid them, the missiles just miss them anyway lmao. Homing missiles have 3 uses really, for some slight cover when recovering, and for covering certain platforms at certain angles, and for baiting out reflectors before shooting a charge shot at the reflected missile to blow through it because they’re that weak. That’s about it. Jab legit has more usability. However, in SOME matchups homing missiles are kind of useful

    It might not be Kirby’s best move, but it’s for sure an amazing dair. Most daris don’t combo, and has a way smaller hitbox. The move is also super easy to use off stage, and can be used multiple times (and Kirby can go deep af off stage). For characters with linear recoveries (alot), you can literally cheese people at 0. This is even the case at top level Kirby play, competitive wise.

    The basic gist I’m getting is that dair is a good move that would be much more appreciated on another character. Very comprehensive, though a quick overview of how hammer and stone compare might’ve been good for people to draw their own conclusions about that. I had to dip into the Kirbycord to confirm what people were saying about hammer in the comments, and I think that a lot of people would be too stubborn to do that. From an non-kirby player’s perspective, I gravitate towards stone as the best of the three. Dair might be a lifesaver in some matchups, but stone seems like it’d be more a more consistent punish tool against all sorts of predictable recoveries, making it a bit more general use- I’ll take one free heavy hit on a recovering opponent over something potentially nasty but inconsistent, especially at high percents or against characters that don’t want to recover high. Not to mention you could use it offstage when recovering high yourself... Hammer at ledge seems like it could be potentially really fun even if it’s not necessary. You could theoretically base your playstyle around getting your opponents offstage and killing them stupid early at ledge, if you’re confident with your hard reads. That seems more valuable in the right hands than dair as well, being totally honest.

I still think that is useful in a mindgame, to challenge your oponento to be above you and then start juggling or to make them wait in the ground and going for a safer on shield option for the grab punish. I still think is one of the best of Kirby moves but for a casual player that I am, up-b is unfairly broken if used well xD

And easily 3-0'ing a lot of people (including Leffen), he even takes games from MkLeo easily -because the character is ridiculously strong. And yet people still say bowser is a low tier

But other than that, dair is very unsafe and not worth it to use on stage.
