The descent of the move also possesses a [[meteor smash]]. In ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', the meteor hitbox only briefly appears when Kirby starts falling, although future games allow the downwards slash to meteor smash through its entire duration. With the introduction of [[meteor canceling]], as well as significantly reduced knockback, the meteor smash is considerably less effective in ''Melee''. Even so, the meteor smash portion can allow the move to uniquely edgeguard opponents at the ledge throughout the ''Smash'' series; if Kirby hits an opponent with the downwards slash when their ledge invincibility ends, they can be meteor smashed, which can potentially lead to a KO. It can also be used to perform a [[sacrificial KO]] when the opponent is trying to recover, at the cost of Kirby's stock. However, the meteor smash is significantly weaker than other similar moves such as Aether, which risks Kirby being KO'd first, or failing to KO opponents with strong recoveries. | The descent of the move also possesses a [[meteor smash]].

This is Kirby's sole recovery move without [[Copy Abilities]] (though there are few that offer any situational boost to recovery). However, every iteration of Final Cutter is either unable to grab ledges before the downwards slash begins, or has a very specific ledge sweet spot (usually at the peak of the upward slash), making it very easy to interrupt. It is therefore a last-resort option when Kirby burns his multiple midair jumps. Notably, Kirby will refresh all of his spent midair jumps completely after a character is | This is Kirby's sole recovery move without [[Copy Abilities]] (though there are few that offer any situational boost to recovery).

Unlike most other recovery moves, Final Cutter does not send Kirby into [[helpless]]ness, as the downwards slash will not end unless Kirby lands. However, if Kirby lands at the edge of a platform and is [[push]]ed off in any way while he is still in his ground-slam animation, Kirby will be forced into his helpless form. | Unlike most other recovery moves, Final Cutter does not send Kirby into [[helpless]]ness, as the downwards slash will not end unless Kirby lands.
