Kirby (SSBM)/Neutral aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Kirby's neutral aerial.

Overview

Kirby spins around repeatedly in midair, dealing 10%-6% damage depending on when it hits. This move is officially referred to as Twinkle Star, and was his up aerial in the previous game. It is rather slow and has an unimpressive hitbox. The clean hit is an unreliable KO move, even if the opponent is at 200%. The late hit can lead into followups, although not super reliably. Overall, the move is not very useful and Kirby is typically better off using a different aerial.
