You can inhale through just about any move IF THEY MISPACE. See, the grab armor starts when they're tumbling into your mouth, so basically they need to be close enough that you get them with the hitbox and not the windbox.

As for the grenade hat, yes, yes it does. Kirby with grenades is ridiculously good. One of my favorite tricks with them is grenade drop>regrab grenade>jump towards snake in shield (or out of range of his Utilt if he's not in shield>jump and press B making you drop the grenade you were holding in front of him and grabbing a new one all while jumping behind him>drop grenade 2> Bair or Dair depending on whether or not grenade one hit or he's still in shield respectively.

That being said, if you get him in an inhale near the edge, an inhale break footstool might be a better option.
Personally, that's my greatest use for inhale. Inhale break foostools can swing the match in your favor in a second.

Wow, that's crazy. I figured he may be able to out camp Snake.. I figured if you can force the approach, you may be able to punish it with bair or grab or something. I need to get more MU exp

He can outcamp snake, but I think using them to counter attack, ease approaches and setting up traps are the best things you can do with them.

Snake doesn't really have a hard time getting in if he HAS to approach after all.

'Inhale Break'

Inhale.
They get gobbled.
'break' (they wiggle free)
Kirby footstools.

That doesn't work on every character. There's a list in the inhale guide (I'm too lazy to find the link to it, but you can find said link on the first page of the question/answer thread).

I like the frame data part. It comes in handy when I want to have a verbal brawl match with people. :o

Jk, but I do use it a lot. :d

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I've been playing based off the premise that Wolf Kirby's laser has more stun than Wolf's own laser. I'd be nice if this could be test out, but from the way I see it, it seems rather noticeable if you take a moment.

Oh wow, mained Kirby in Melee, that's rough. XD
Kirby is definitely a lot better in teams in Melee. I think it's the same in Brawl with his strengths coming through more in teams.

Sorry for the bump ^^;

If it is possible, can there be a picture to show the range of grabs? (Standing, Dash and Pivot) I don't know exactly how much range his grabs have xD

Thanks t!mmy, I absolutely love Kirby, he's so adorable. This is very helpful for playing against some of the competitive players

I'm always glad to see I've helped someone.
Feel free to ask any questions. (and feel free to point out any typos in the guide).

I think it should be mentioned that you can stuck somebody up right on the edge and jump off. If they struggle by mashing, which they will, the two of you will separate right at the bottom of the screen (for most maps). You can then easily footstool (one of, in my opinion, the greatest untapped tactics in Kirby's arsenal) and possibly dair (if they get up too high, like a Pit ir Jiggs or another Kirbstomp) then into Hell. I think Kirby has a lot of gimping potential. His dair drills them down, pushing them as you fall, and dair can sort of combo into a footstool. I don't know. Kirby has some sexy gimp potential, I believe.

It works on PS and that banned Pokemon stage, but I'm not exactly sure if it works on any others since I've already committed this so many times before. And the gonzo combo can make many consecutive hit strings, so it would fthrow > utilt > etc. just make sure how it works best on your opponent since there's DI in the way, but you should definitely overcome it by then.

It's actually F-throw -> U-air -> whiffed U-tilt.
Because people learned how to SDI that combo back in 2008. XD

The perfect remedy/mix-up for that is F-Throw>U-air>buffered full jump>buffered U-air.
The self-dubbed "Chu" combo! :)

Only then can you open up the doors to possibly dish out the whole Gonzo Combo!
