Kirby (SSBU)/Neutral special
Overview
Kirby opens his mouth and begins to inhale. It possesses a grabbox and can be held indefinitely until the player decides to release the B button. Upon inhaling an opponent, Kirby can spit them out as a star to deal damage to them and any nearby opponents, copy their neutral special move, walk around slowly, or perform a short hop. Alternatively, Kirby can descend from the air and inhale opponents near the ledge, attempting to perform a Kirbycide. Opponents caught off guard will try to mash out, resulting in Kirby being given the chance to footstool the opponent and likely net a KO. If the opponent is caught, it would be best to either accept the stock trade or buffer their recovery move right after Kirby releases the opponent.
Most characters will give Kirby a slight variation of their neutral special (such as Monado Arts and Pikmin Pluck), allowing Kirby to use the abilities to varying degrees of usefulness.
