'''Final Cutter''' ({{ja|ファイナルカッター|Fainaru Kattā}}, ''Final Cutter'') is [[Kirby]]'s [[up special move]]. | '''Final Cutter''' ({{ja|ファイナルカッター|Fainaru Kattā}}, ''Final Cutter'') is [[Kirby]]'s [[up special move]]. | ||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Kirby draws a silver blade similar to a scimitar | Kirby draws a silver blade, similar to a scimitar, jumps into the air a bit less than the height of [[Falco]]'s full jump, and falls quickly, releasing a blue "wave" projectile forward if he lands on a solid surface, travelling the distance of a [[Falco Phantasm]]. This attack is somewhat similar to [[Ike]]'s [[Aether]]. | ||
The move generally hits best on the way up and at the very end of the attack. Although it lost much power and use in the transition from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', it is still quite useful to skilled players. It should also be noted that the move as a whole can be moved much further horizontally when used on the ground as opposed to in the air. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Final Cutter is stronger than in ''Melee''. | |||
The descent of the move delivers a heavy [[meteor smash]] | The descent of the move delivers a heavy [[meteor smash]], which is easier to use over a pit. This can develop into a technique known as Cuttercide/Kutterkaze. When the opponent is trying to recover, Final Cutter can be used to intercept them and spike them downward, killing both the player and (most of the time) the opponent as well (beware that the player using Cuttercide passes the [[blast line]] first.) | ||
In ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', players using this move lose all of their jumps if knocked out of it. | |||
This move is also useful against edgeguarding if used high in the air at the top corners of stages, such as [[Final Destination (disambiguation)|Final Destination]] or [[Battlefield (disambiguation)|Battlefield]]. If Kirby performed the move at a good enough distance and an edgeguarder was in the air coming for it, Kirby could potentially catch the opponent on the sword's descent, sending them towards the lower blast line and finding itself grabbing the edge. | |||
Unlike most other recovery moves, Final Cutter does not throw Kirby into [[helpless]]ness; when the ascent is finished, Kirby falls quickly and retains the hitbox. However, if Kirby lands at the edge of a platform and is [[push]]ed off by wind, conveyor belts, Mario's [[F.L.U.D.D.]] or Squirtle's [[Water Gun]] while he is still in his ground-slam animation, Kirby will quickly slide off into his helpless form. | |||

# '''Upper Cutter''': | # '''Upper Cutter''': Comes out faster and does more damage while traveling (higher) up as well as no longer making Kirby plummet straight down, but loses both the meteor smash and shockwave and puts Kirby into his [[helpless]] state on the way down, although there is noticeable vertical momentum after the attack ends. Resembles the Sword Upper from the Sword ability. | ||

The Final Cutter first appeared as a move | The Final Cutter first appeared as a special move in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', then-known as "Cutter drop attack". When Kirby had the Cutter ability and was close enough to the enemy while attacking, the normally ranged Cutter technique would become a rapid slashing combo attack known as the Cleaving Cutter (an inward chop, then a turning inward-upward 180 slash akin to his "Cutter Dash" move), ending in the Final Cutter. | ||
In ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby & The Amazing Mirror}}'' and ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby: Squeak Squad}}'', Final Cutter also appears as part of the Sword ability, functioning exactly like it does in ''Smash Bros.'' The Smash Bros. ability, which appears in ''Amazing Mirror'', ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby's Dream Collection}}'', and ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby: Planet Robobot}}'', also includes Final Cutter with its ''Smash Bros.'' functionality, even featuring the same blade design. | |||
