I love this excuse, but I don't think it quite works on Kirby. He's pretty much what you see is what you get.
In general these excuses are thrown about way too frequently, and always in retrospect. To the point where it's as if people temporarily suspend their belief in tiers and they talk about characters like Kirby or Bowser as if they are so viable, people start making assumptions that the winning low tier character's main must have smash god like skills and reflexes.....proper rubbish
Back to the MU ignorance point....
I would agree that Bowser and Pichu can be overwhelming and surprising at first in a way Kirby really isn't. Bowser for having one of the best OoS Up -Bs, amazing ledge attack < 100 and having the command grab. Pichu for just the sheer speed and gimping power. All this can be adapted to and avoided though, Pichu can be out-ranged by every character.
Kirby doesn't have any crazy secrets beside Kirbycide and his duck, but really those are already well known even in casual play. He floats about at the speed people expect, they do underestimate his aerial killing power and his Dsmash/Dtilt though. But within a match all that can be learned about, however the moves have good range and power so they stand up to even high tiers rather well I've come to realize. Once the match-up is well known by opponents movement becomes his only crutch and weakness, there are ways around it but it's still bad. I still hate his movement but he's grown on me partly because I've seen success with him locally against comparable high tier mains..
