Inhale has limited use in competitive play, as it is laggy, short ranged, and Kirby has better options outside of in teams. Inhale can be a decent tool off stage in order to initiate a sacrificial KO and Kirby also has some benefits when using certain copy abilities. Kirby's small size allow him to use his copy abilities lower to the ground making them harder for grounded opponents to avoid and his fall speed/short hop height can give him additional benefits while using them in the air. Notably, Kirby can make great use of the [[space animals]]' lasers due to his aforementioned traits meaning that he can dish out more lasers while he is in the air and he can laser [[lock]] more characters with {{SSBB|Falco}}'s [[Blaster (Falco)|Lasers]] than Falco can due to his smaller size.

*{{nerf|[[Mach Tornado]]'s loop hits have smaller hitboxes (5u/5u/5u/5u → 5u/5u/4.5u/4.5u). Some of its hitboxes also don't cause hitstun. Altogether, these changes make Kirby's version significantly easier to escape and overall much less effective.}}
