Darkest Lariat's properties bear a major resemblance to — and are likely directly inspired by — the Double Lariat, an attack originated by {{s|wikipedia|Mike Haggar}} from the ''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fight}}'' series, itself based on the Discus Lariat, a move involing extending one's arms and spinning in place used by many professional wrestlers. However, the move has been adopted and is arguably more commonly associated with {{s|wikipedia|Zangief}} from the {{uv|Street Fighter}} series. When explaining the move, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] compared Incineroar to a "Red Cyclone", which is a reference to Zangief's nickname. While extremely limited in combat effectiveness, the Discus Lariat's dramatic and flashy nature makes it great for a big moment that excites a crowd.
