'''Inhale''' ({{ja|すいこみ|Suikomi}}, ''Suction'') is the [[neutral special move]] of [[Kirby]] and [[King Dedede]].

==Kirby==

[[File:InhaleSSB.png|thumb|left|Kirby's Inhale in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
[[File:Meelee inhale.PNG|thumb|Kirby's Inhale in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]

'''Inhale''' is Kirby's [[neutral special move]] attack in all four of his incarnations in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, though it was previously called '''Vacuum''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and '''Swallow''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. When the special move button is pressed, Kirby opens his mouth and begins to inhale, creating a vortex of wind. Kirby will not stop inhaling until the button is released. If a character comes near the [[pulling|vortex]], they will automatically be sucked inside Kirby, who will bloat up with the person inside of him. He cannot move in ''Super Smash Bros.'', while in later games, he can move at extremely slow speeds and jump a short distance.  Increased weight causes Kirby to fall faster as well. The goal of the attack is to swallow the victim (by pressing down or the special move button), which will make Kirby copy their powers, enabling him to perform that character's neutral special move (the character pops out after being swallowed and can still perform their neutral special attack). If Kirby traps the wrong character in his mouth, or simply doesn't want the character's move, Kirby can spit the character out by pressing the attack button and it has [[set knockback]]. Any player who is hit by the character that was spit by Kirby will take damage and decent vertical knockback.

Kirby has a unique hat depending on who was inhaled, such as wearing Mario's hat if he swallows [[Mario]]. The copied special attack will sometimes be lost if Kirby is attacked enough, is KO'd, or if he decides to discard it by [[taunt]]ing. Inhaling another Kirby and copying will do nothing unless the other Kirby has already copied an attack and is wearing a hat. If a Kirby is wearing a hat, another Kirby is able to steal it for themselves.

===Swallowing Items===
{{Main|Item swallow}}
Just like [[King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede's]] Inhale and [[Wario]]'s [[Chomp]], Kirby can swallow items using the attack. Any item meant to be eaten will have the same effect (such as [[Food]]). However, Kirby can eat any item on the screen. Kirby will automatically swallow the item when it is in his mouth, meaning he can keep other characters from using it.  [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Mr. Saturn]] and other "live" items cannot be swallowed. If Kirby inhales large items such as a [[crate]], Kirby cannot move nor attack until it is fully swallowed and it will take some time to digest the item. If Kirby inhales an explosive such as a [[Bob-omb]], he will receive 5% damage.

===Copy abilities===
:''Main Articles: [[Copy ability (SSB)]], [[Copy ability (SSBM)]], [[Copy ability (SSBB)]], [[Copy ability (SSB4)]]

===Inhaling other Kirbys===
When a Kirby attempts to copy another Kirby that has no copied ability, the swallowed Kirby will pop out the same way as normal; however, it makes a different sound and the swallowing Kirby doesn't receive a copied ability. 

If a Kirby swallows a Kirby with a copied ability, then the swallowing Kirby copies the power, as well as removing the ability from that Kirby.

==="Kirbycide" applications===
{{Main|Kirbycide}}

In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Kirby is capable of slowly walking around the stage while carrying opponents in his mouth, or swallowing a foe while slightly off-stage. This allows for some forms of [[Kirbycide]], wherein Kirby jumps off the [[edge]] with someone in his mouth and releases them at a distance or position from which they are unable to recover, forcing a [[KO]]. One may Swallow at the last second for a K.O. (usually during Time Mode for an extra point) and may survive due to Kirby's tall recovery.

Kirby can also jump off the stage and Inhale the opponent who is conveniently standing by. This is the only way to Inhale Kirbycide in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', as well as the easiest.

===Customization===
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the known variations:
# '''Ice Breath''': Ice Kirby's ice breath attack. Disables Kirby's copy abilities, but freezes opponents who are hit.
# '''Jump Inhale''': Kirby jumps and moves a significant distance forwards as he inhales. However, the stars he spits out do no damage.

===Description from the ''Melee'' Instruction Booklet===
''Press [[File:GCN BButton.png|15px]] to swallow an enemy, then [[File:GCN BButton.png|15px]] again to copy his or her power. Press [[File:GCN DPad U.png|15px]] to discard the copied power.''

===Description from the ''Brawl'' Instruction Booklet===
''Swallow your foes, then use their copied standard moves. Ditch the ability with the '''+''' Control Pad.''

===Description from the {{for3ds}} Foldout===
''Inhale foes, and copy their standard special moves.''

===Origin===
Inhaling and spitting has been a trademark attack of Kirby since ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', but it was not until ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' was he able to swallow an enemy to copy their attack. It wasn't until ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' that Kirby also had different hats that indicated the power he copied. A single attack was usually enough to make Kirby lose his copied power. Kirby then had to quickly re-absorb the ability that turned into energy (resembling a star) or else it would be destroyed.

===Trivia===
*Because [[Olimar]]'s neutral special move is useless by itself, Kirby does not exactly copy the move. Rather, he will use [[Pikmin Pluck]] followed immediately by [[Pikmin Throw]], although the Pikmin will not latch on after being thrown. Instead, they will die as soon as they come into contact with anything.
**A similar trait appears if Kirby copies {{SSB4|Rosalina}}, whose neutral special sends forth or recalls a Luma. Instead, Kirby summons, then immediately sends forth the Luma, who disappears after making contact.
*If Kirby copies {{SSB4|Little Mac}}, he will not be able to use Little Mac's KO Uppercut, as he does not acquire a [[Power Meter]].
*When Kirby uses Inhale on enemies in the [[Subspace Emissary]], they will take small constant amounts of damage because Kirby can't copy NPC enemies' abilities. It's also noteworthy that Kirby is unable to inhale [[False Character]]s. In Melee's [[Adventure Mode]], however, Kirby can swallow enemies such as Topis and Goombas. If he attempts to copy their abilities, however, they will be swallowed and removed from gameplay, much like games in his own series. Kirby can also inhale Waddle Dees and Doos and then swallow them in ''Brawl'', although he will not get any Copy Abilities from them.
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Kirby can swallow [[Metal Mario]], but is unable to absorb his usage of [[Fireball]]s.
*Because Kirby is smaller than most of the characters he inhales, his copied moves are sometimes inferior versions to theirs, due to lower reach and smaller hitboxes, such as [[Giant Punch]] and [[Mach Tornado]]. This usually applies for physical attacks and can also affect certain projectiles; for example Kirby's lower release point causes Mario's [[Fireball]]s to bounce faster and therefore not last as long. On the other hand, his small size and unique moveset allow for interesting setups of some copied moves. For example, Kirby shoots his [[Blaster]] at a lower height than their original users, preventing some characters from ducking under the shots. He can also [[Lock#Laser lock|laser lock]] more characters than Falco can for similar reasons.
*As a grab, the flames of [[Superspicy Curry]] disappear while Kirby has an opponent captured.
*The appearance of Kirby's "hats" after copying an ability is unaffected by what [[palette]] the copied character is using. A notable example of this is Kirby copying Wario, whereafter Kirby always will wear Wario's biker helmet, even if Wario was wearing his outfit with overalls.
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', if Kirby obtains the ability of a character that is later unloaded from the memory, the ability will be dropped once that happens. For instance, in [[All-Star Mode]], when fighting against the {{uv|Mario}} universe characters, if Kirby inhales {{SSBB|Mario}}, who, after being defeated, is taken over by {{SSBB|Peach}}, Mario will be unloaded from memory, and Kirby will lose the [[Fireball]] ability.

{{Special Moves|char=Kirby}}

==King Dedede==

[[File:KingDeDeDeInhale.jpg|200px|thumb|King Dedede's Inhale]]
'''Inhale''' is {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s neutral special move. The attack is identical to {{SSBB|Kirby}}'s Inhale in appearance, but with slightly increased range and no copying ability. By pressing the special move button, Dedede will begin to inhale the air in front of him, creating a vortex. He will continue to inhale as long as the button is held down. If a character comes near him, they will automatically be sucked inside of him and will be trapped in his stomach. When swallowed, Dedede's stomach enlarges to hold the victim, which makes him extremely slow. Dedede simply spits the character back out when the attack button is pressed, or they break free themselves. King Dedede also has 25 frames of [[invincibility]] after he Inhales someone.

Other similarities to Kirby's Inhale include the ability to [[item swallow|eat items]] and perform a form of [[sacrificial KO]], sometimes known as "Dededecide" or "Regicide." The Dededecide is more effective than the Kirbycide is in ''Brawl'', as King Dedede is able to [[Fast-falling|fast-fall]] while using the move, unlike Kirby. King Dedede also has a considerably higher falling speed than Kirby, even without fast-falling.

[[File:DDD explosion glitch.jpg|thumb|175px|The Inhale explosion glitch]]
To compensate for not being able to copy abilities, Dedede's Inhale does more damage than Kirby's Inhale and he can inhale any opponent regardless of his or their size. This attack does 10% when the opponent is exhaled; if the character-projectile hits someone, it does 9 to 18% to that person depending in 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.

Dedede's Inhale (and Kirby's copied Inhale) has at least two glitches. When used on a mine from [[Snake (SSBB)|Snake]]'s down smash, [[Infinite explosion glitch|the explosion will go off continuously]] until it hits someone, Snake plants another mine, or Dedede stops Inhaling. When used on [[Ike (SSBB)|Ike]] in the middle of a [[Quick Draw]], Ike will hit Dedede but continue past, often to his death. However, this is probably due to the vacuum effect created by the Inhale.

===Customization===
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the known variations:
# '''Dedede Storm''': A cyclone from King Dedede's mouth that pulls foes in, hits repeatedly, and launches upward.
# '''Taste Test''': Inhale opponents faster and instantly spit them out as stars.

===Description from the ''Brawl'' Instruction Booklet===
''Inhale nearby opponents. King Dedede can't copy other fighters' abilities.''

===Description from the {{for3ds}} Foldout===
''Inhale opponents, and spit them out as stars.''

===Origin===
In nearly every ''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 ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Dream Land 2|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.

==Collateral damage==
{{incomplete|SSB4}}
[[File:Inhale SSB4.png|thumb|''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'']]
In ''Smash 64'', characters spit via Inhale deal 6% damage to bystanders. Starting in ''Melee'', the damage dealt by a spit character is loosely based on their [[weight]]. Both Kirby's and Dedede's Inhales operate the same in this respect.

In ''Melee'', the percentages dealt are exactly the same in the NTSC and PAL versions, despite the weight differences.
