Yeah, you have to accept that as good as you are with your main, your main still has weaknesses. That's not to say they couldn't be placed higher or lower, but you shouldn't just want them to be higher just because you main them. I main Samus, and I think she should be higher on the tiers, but this isn't just because I main Samus. Samus has good aerial mobility, with her bombs and tether to assist in this as well; she has lots of kill options and gimping tools, a strong combo game both on the ground and in the air, and the longest grab range in the game, as well as a few other strengths. She does have some weaknesses that as a player I must recognize; she is floaty, the sixth heaviest character in the game, meaning she is easy to get combos on, her grab has high ending lag that makes it easy to punish if used superfluously, she herself can be easily gimped if she isn't careful, she certainly isn't the fastest character on the ground or in the air, she is weak against reflectors since her best kill move is a projectile, etc. Now I think she should be higher because most of her weaknesses can be minimized; grabs should only be used when they are certain to connect, she can punish reflectors with grab or can even bait them out and then punish with a different attack, she can stall off stage with bombs to make gimps more difficult for opponents, and she can use bombs to escape combos. Could you name your reasons for why Kirby should be higher? I'd honestly really like to hear them, I'm not too good with Kirby so I honestly couldn't begin to answer that one, haha.
