I don't get how Kirby used to be OP in SSB. He turned into the worst character (I think he should be 24th on the Melee tier list), a mid-tier in Brawl, and turned into a terrible character in SSB4. (50th out of 55?) In tier lists I see online, he is always one of the worst, along with Little Mac and maybe Ridley and Bowser jr. He's considered to be 2nd worst (I know why Little Mac is worse) in some of the SSBU tier lists.

King Dedede is a similar case. 12th in brawl, now 52nd in SSB4. He's better than Kirby in Ultimate, but he's around mid-low tier character.

I don't get it. I feel like these two are underrepresented in tournaments and that they should have higher representation (I'm lucky to see Kirby in tournaments while watching youtube).
