Kirby (SSB)/Up tilt

Overview

The hitbox of Kirby's u-tilt.

Kirby does a vertical kick. It is widely regarded as among the best attacks in the game, and maybe even the series, due to dealing high damage (14% clean, 10% late), quick speed, ability to break shields via repeated use (which is very possible due to the quick speed), ability to combo (can chain into itself for up to 60%+ depending on the opponent, and easily lead into other moves such as aerials), and a ridiculously disjointed hitbox that covers the length of more than one Kirby both horizontally and vertically - this alone is the reason why Kirby hard counters Yoshi, as it outspaces all of his reliable approach options.
