Kirby (SSBU)/Dash attack

Hitbox visualization showing Kirby's dash attack.

Overview

Kirby covers himself with fire and lunges forward. It has decently fast startup on frame 9 and can be used as a burst option with significant range thanks to its long active duration, that consists in a clean hit, a mid hit and a late hit. The clean hit deals 12% damage and has great knockback for a dash attack. It can cross-up shields, but it's long animation makes it punishable if it misses the opponent or is not spaced carefully, and because of this, it must be used carefully to avoid punishment. It's best used as a punish option at high percents.
