I would also say Kirby is underrated for a similar reason, but not really a lot. (I guess you could also argue Ike).
Kirby is really bad
Only having one kill move which is also your spacing tool and also your punishing tool (it's his only move >.>)
It doesn't work.

Don't listen to Australian theorycrafting, not even TAS is that level. Kirby has a solid grab game and his killmoves are kinda like GWs killmoves.

lol, they're not anything like G&W's kill moves.

I may have been exaggerating, but the point is that in any matchup where he can't get u-throw kills at a reasonable %, easily trap landings with f-smash (generally whether they have RCO lag or not), or copy an ability to unstale bair (lasers/arrows), he can't actually kill (he can maybe gimp some characters with really bad recoveries though)
And when you can't kill, it doesn't really matter how good the rest of your traits are. (he doesn't have anything particularly good besides bair and a good grab range + early follow-ups either)

Well yes he does have some trouble killing but it's not as bad as you think it is. Kirby isn't Peach.

Samus has no kill power and she dies really fast. She's a ****ing terrible character, even YB has trouble beating mid level players in Japan and back in the day Noid was the only Samus who ever represented lol.

The most underrated character imo would be Fox.
