As far as the bottom tier discussion goes I am not really certain what are the most important traits of a character. Earlier EddyBear provided the match of Kirby vs Sheik with two prominent players of the characters. What I thought was most interesting of this set was how the first match played out compared to the second match. The first match to me showed that once Kirby "got in" on Sheik Kirby had some ways of keeping Sheik in a bad spot. At the ledge, off stage, combos, etc. However, in the 2nd set (before Zelda came out) it seemed to show that Kirby has very poor methods of trying to "get in" as Kirby was pretty much doing chip damage.
Therefore, with the rest of bottom tier it feels like all of these characters have ways of performing combos on variety of the cast. But, the biggest hurdle is how to initiate those punishes and combos that lead to taking stocks. That might be the most important part in-deciding placement. While Pichu has pretty much the traits used by Falcon/Fox/Marth in terms of ground mobility with DD and say SH Nair Kirby seems to have a different method of dealing with things.
I am curious how good crouching really is against grabs from a variety of the cast.
