Kirby up throw hurtbox and hitbox visualization

Overview[edit]

The Air Drop from the Ninja ability, which creates a small explosion on landing. It's among the strongest up throws in the game, dealing 10% damage, having high base knockback and decent knockback scaling, allowing it to KO middleweights at around 160% without rage. When Kirby jumps towards the blast line to perform it, he will immediately land on platforms if he is below them. Its great knockback and its ability to land on platforms make it a reliable and useful KO throw; however, it is heavily susceptible toDI. Just like Meta Knight's similar up throw, it has a collateral hitbox that deals 7% with similar knockback to the throw that can hit bystanders.

As withBrawl andSmash 4, Kirby can also perform theOmnigay with his up throw. Should he have aC4 attached to him or have an opponent hold an item such as agrenade, Kirby can up throw the opponent, send them to the blast zone and get them immediately KO’ed while Kirby remains unharmed. This works regardless of percent. While difficult to perform in singles due to requiring precise knowledge on the object's detonation time and the technique being limited to a few characters, if his team partner is playing a character that possesses explosives likeSnake, it can be performed more easily due to said partne able to plant more explosives on Kirby for greater leeway.

Timing[edit]

Properties[edit]

During frame 45, the move inflicts 8 frames ofhitlag to both Kirby and the opponent, during which the opponent is invincible. This section shows its timing without the hitlag.
If used at an edge, the opponent is pushed 2.5 units up and away when thrown, preventing certain characters from getting stage spiked underneath.
