When fighting kirby I very often encounter the dair and utilt being unavoidable from taking large amounts of damage after I get hit with. Either its dair into fsmash or toe or utilt at least 5 times when im fox. I can DI pretty well but ness and kirby's utilt seem near impossible to get out of because they both seem to bring you back into the kick after i DI slightly away. Am I not DIing fast enough or should I be using smash DI rather than the slide that i currently do? I have tried both and neither seem effective. Any tips on what any of you do in that situations with either kirby's dair or the utilts?

Against Ness's uptilt you can sometimes DI into the ground to tech if you have really low percent. Else you're just garanteed to get much damage as fox, DI up (+left or right or not) to jump as soon as possible, or try to get on a platform.

I usually do well with Luigi against those because I float out of those attacks and I spam up+b firepunch, and they get angry

Smash DI upwards so that you land on a platform (if possible). Pretty much the best direction to DI against Kirby/Ness' Utilt.
DI upwards is the best you can do and if you have a lean character like Luigi it's even easier to escape that dreaded utilt
