Kirby (SSBM)/Up aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Kirby's up aerial.

Overview

Kirby does a bicycle kick in the air. One of the few saving graces of Kirby, being his best kill move (third strongest up aerial in the game) and also not having too slow a startup, with hitboxes coming out in ⅙ of a second, which has led to move having the nickname Better Knee. It's considered superior to his previous up air in Smash 64, which would be changed into his neutral aerial, replacing his sex kick.

Trivia

* Kirby is programmed to have landing hitboxes on his Up aerial, however, they never appear in-game. Normally, they would activate for the span of one frame, but due to the landing animation playing too fast, the hitbox creation event never occurs.
