kirby has a grab hitbox behind him on his running grab.

would this be viable at all as a mixup? or viable in any situation?

or is there just better options always.

It's good for tech-in and high recoveries. It's kinda like when Falcon grabs a Fox/Falco side-B.

EDIT: It's not too much "new" technology, but instead just realizing that Kirby's grab is effing huge.

Because you have to dash forward in a direction to get it to grab behind you, it seems like it defeats the purpose (just wasted movement). It might be a cool way to swag on someone though.

Being in a slightly different position as you get the grab can be useful in itself.
Combine with boost grab off a platform, I suppose you could cross someone up as a ball of fire and grab them, which if it somehow worked would look cool.
