The gist I'm getting is that Kirby's Up Throw will now practically be about as strong as Lucas's. Now if references are what we need, Nintendo Unity made a video following 1.10 which stacked up the strongest Up Throw's in the game when rage isn't a factor.They used default Mii Brawler who's two points heavier than Mario on FD and has a falling speed of 1.7 versus Mario's 1.5 which gives all round greater vertical endurance.
Looking at their numbers and considering the percents

between 145-160% on the Wii U! (Correct me if I flubbed anything). Naturally, this should also make our matchups against floaties,

, and lightweights better as well. In any case, shields shouldn't be a big obstacle for us any longer!
