Inhale (King Dedede): Difference between revisions

To compensate for not being able to copy abilities, Dedede's Inhale does more damage than Kirby's Inhale and lets him inhale projectiles. This attack does 12% when the opponent is exhaled (14.4% in 1v1 battles). Also, if the character-projectile hits someone, it does 9% to 20% to that person depending on the inhaled opponent; the heavier the inhaled opponent is, the higher the amount of damage it does. The projectile also deals more vertical knockback to opponents compared to when Kirby exhales the opponents, and is very capable of scoring a KO.  

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Dedede's Inhale will spit out [[projectiles]] rather than swallow, acting as a reflector. This includes the [[Gordo]]s thrown by [[Gordo Throw]], letting him quickly reflect them back if they're hit by or strike an opponent. It is also possible to set up Gordos for an Inhale, such as angling the swing up to put them into range. Unlike Kirby's Inhale, Dedede's Inhale fires back the projectile in its original form rather than as a star.

Kirby can use this to perform the obscure "Kirkirkircide". Kirby is noticeably less bloated after inhaling someone compared to both his normal Inhale and Dedede's Inhale.

In nearly every [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' game]] with King Dedede in it, King Dedede has shown the ability to Inhale, like Kirby. Unlike Kirby's Inhale, King Dedede cannot absorb an ability. The attack has remained mostly the same throughout the ''Kirby'' series, with the exception of ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby's Dream Land 2}}'', where King Dedede is able to inhale large amounts of air and spit it back at Kirby as a very powerful projectile. The ''Smash Bros.'' series are the only games where King Dedede can use his Inhale ability as a playable character, but he is able to use a similar move called {{iw|wikirby|Gobble}} in ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Fighters 2}}''.
