Overview

A corkscrew dropkick. It has the slowest startup of Kirby's entire moveset on frame 18, but it has low ending lag. It consists of multiple hits, with the final hit being able to meteor smash. It has a landing hitbox on Kirby's sides that launches at a 60 degrees angle, which makes it a useful combo starter. It also has a large initial autocancel window. Due to its low ending lag and ability to meteor smash in the final hit, it's a good edgeguarding option and safe to use off-stage.
