Okay so I've been studying the metagame for ssbm for some time now and I guess I should tell you why (I) believe Kirby is the worst and not pichu. Contrary to popular believe pichu does have some good attributes. One of those being her height, since she is the shortest character in the game she also shares the smallest hurtbox meaning if I went to a tourney and used pichu attacks like not fast-falling lazer or needles. Another aspect is that she is copy paste of pikachu who is a pretty high tier character. And thats about all for pichu so lets get into Kirby. One of the things about Kirby is that he never evolved to fit the metagame. For one kirby has a larger hurtbox than pichu, which means a he can be comboed easier. Another thing is that he is really slow, like really slow. With no infinitive wavedash and general slow running speed it kinda makes Kirby really bad. And don't even get me started on that dash attack that thing is just bad. So in some although pichu damages herself she still has advantages that kirby doesn't have.
