Wasted Smash Bros. Moveset Potential

I saw a lot of Kirby discussion earlier on. While I don't think he should have a different Copy Ability for every move, I really don't like his current moveset either. At the very least, they could change his side/up/down specials to different Copy Abilities, because his current ones don't feel good to use. He can keep a lot of his normals, but a few could be changed for more utility. Hammer Flip could even become a smash attack.

How much more open do you think a veteran's moveset would become if aerial Smash attacks was a mechanic?
Since I believe smash attacks have more room to be "wacky" than jabs and tilts (albeit less than specials), it would be significantly more open.

Still, not to the point where projectile normals are an accepted norm (though I am more fine with them for grounded Smashes).

I’m not really complaining about the movesets, cause I still think they are fun.

But the fact that Squirtle’s Hydro Pump move doing 0% damage is baffling, since this is a very powerful move in the Pokémon games (110% damage to be exact.)

Don’t you mean Water Gun? Because Hydro Pump is used during the Final Smash.

Granted yeah, but the neutral special does no damage. Guses using it as a final smash seems to really be super effective.
