Thanks for watching everyone! I'd like to additionally thank YeetusSkeetus and ZOLOgangles, who are also patrons of mine but due to an editing error were not appropriately credited in the outro, my apologies. This one was an ordeal to make, Kirby's Inhale is a massive signature move, but it was also a lot of fun to go back and play these titles! For perspective, the last time I tried Kirby Air Ride was when I rented it from Blockbuster. Let me know where your thoughts on Inhale, as well as any suggestions you have for future voting pools. Also, like I said in the video, I'm now streaming under MockRockTwitch! A lot of the Ultimate footage you saw in this video came from viewer battles against my Kirby, which is likely going to be continued for other Signature Move Tier List entries, so hope to see you there! -Twitter: twitter.com/MrMockRock -Twitch: www.twitch.tv/mockrocktwitch -Patreon: www.patreon.com/mockrock -Teespring: teespring.com/stores/mockrock

"If you can think of a way for Kirby to interact with a level, there's probably been a copy ability that lets him do it."

I get it isn't super great in Smash, but like... you just said it could feasibly do anything you'd need it to in the main series.

You touched on a lot of interesting points about Kirby's voice. Makiko Omoto is such a great voice actress, she does a great job! It's no wonder Kirby has so much voice variety, since Omoto also voices Ness and Sayaka Maizono (from Danganronpa). Also, fun fact: That deep scream Kirby does with the Mike Ability was voiced by Masahiro Sakurai himself, at least in Kirby Super Star. In the remake it was an imitator, and recently the deep scream is removed entirely. But regardless, Sakurai said he screamed "CHESTO!" (aka chest) at the top of his lungs; I do not remember what it means, but my head keeps telling me it's a phrase in Japan said when one is victorious or has performed well. I'm likely wrong, though. Awesome video though! This was a great analysis of Kirby's iconic, staple move!

I think the only drawback to inhale in SSB is the dependency of having an enemy with a worthwhile ability to copy. Incorporating your foe's ability into your play-style also takes a lot of time (kinda like playing with Pokemon Trainer requires you to learn 3 different characters to play properly). I like Kirby a lot, and in smash is the one I recommend my friends when they were new to the game, but after that initial test most people move to a different main for consistency.

I feel like inhale should be faster and bigger. A frame 5 inhale would make Kirby more of a grappler.

My only gripe, if I were to pick a significant flaw with the move, is that in smash it is limited to always copying the neutral special of each character. I'd argue that for some characters it would be not only more useful but also more iconic to copy a different special. Wild Link's Remote Bomb (or even Spin Attack) would be the biggest example of this, with other notable examples being Ike's Aether, Banjo's Wonderwing, Pikachu's Thunder, Jigglypuff's Rest, Sonic's Spin Dash or Ken's Shoryuken, in my opinion.

Remember, Kirby's core concept is his simplicity. Copying a move and needing to learn it is already complicated enough, but then it's gonna be a different one for each character? It's fine as is.

@@Moss_Dude @ThiroSmash That plus, Kirby's anatomy is drastically different from almost every other character, how could he do things like gut check, scewer, whirling fortress, roto arm, counter surge, and many other moves. And how could he do pokemon switch, star bits, wonderwing, and almost all of Olimars special moves since they require a separate entity?

@@Moss_Dude If you'd have to learn one move from every character anyways, why not make it their most memorable? I'm pretty sure you would remember better WIld Link's remote bomb than you would a generic arrow. It's easier to remember and it's a better introduction to the character, it works perfectly for Kirby's concept. And as for @Jason Ramirez, I don't get why those would be issues. Kirby already has moves like Bayo's guns or Ivy's bullet seed and they look just fine; for somehting like Ridley's skewer they could just attach the tail to the hat, problem solved. As for the "unique character mechanics"... Look at how Olimar is handled. And Kirby doesn't get thinkgs like Go! or Arsene or Limit Break, so I don't know what the problem is.

I really like the way that these first two episodes firmly lay out the criteria for what it takes to get into the top tiers on the list; that's the kind of clarity you want at start of a series. On a different note, I'm pretty sure that's my Link getting out-camped at 13:17. 👀

Personally i'd put the move into A and not S. I just can't get over the insane amount of work that was put into this move, yet... You kinda get punished for trying to use it in mid-high play? Yeah there's confirms into it, but still... If it was easier to use normally, if it gave just a bit more reward, that subsequently would get more people to appreciate how much inhale has. At the very least I wouldn't give it a 5 for design, but still I understand the reasoning (for smash anyways, aside from smash it's an S tier move)

The VA of Kirby said she's not told any information about fighters when doing the voices for copy abilities. She joked that she was able to recognize Terry because she played Fatal Fury with her brother. Just a fun fact and I think it definitely shows that well deserved 5/5 in style points

I can't wait to see which of Mario's moves make it into this tier list. It'll be hard to choose, as it feels so many of his moves are either standard-fare attacks (he punch, he kick), but there are a few I think are high-tier candidates. My suggestion would be his Airplane Toss (back throw) due to its high launch and KO capabilities, plus hitting multiple players makes it a good attack and zoning strategy. Back-up idea: F.L.U.D.D. which can really give Mario a huge advantage when getting a player over the edge, especially for poor-recovery players (looking at Chrom, Little Mac, etc.), or just throws an approach off-rythrm.

Kirby has a stronger neutral special of every character he inhales. This shows his true strength. Honestly if his inhale was a frame 1 or 2 move with a bigger range he would easily be an A tier character. However if his air mobility was the same as Jigglypuff as well added to the buffed inhale than he would be beyond broken and probably be seen as the second coming of Brawl Metaknight.
