Crash: Why not?

[Shiny Ivysaur]

My question to you is: Why is Kirby's FS Cook instead of Crash? I think the reasons speak for themselves. Please discuss.

[WindSquirrel]

Crash is just a generic explosion. At least Cook is a bit more interesting.

[t!MmY]

Because Crash Kirby is too good. ^__^

Actually, it probably has to do with the fact that the Cook ability is more humorous, which follows a lot of the style of SSBB. Obviously Crash would have been the fan favorite. :(

I would've loved to see Kirby crashing and wiping out the majority of the field as his final smash. I think it could've been pretty cool. I'm actually not a fan of the cooking FS. It just makes me wonder how devastating it could possibly be, compared to all the other final smashes. I'm sure it'll be great, but still.

[Darkurai]

Sakurai is proud of his creation, so he made it as awesome as possible.

And really, Kirby is so worth it.

[Kirby Redux]

ive never seen crash, what would it look like?

[Ralph_Marquee]

Kirby's FS is cool man chillax

[Chepe]

Sakurai probably likes Cook more than Crash, what with the humor and whatnot, which fits Kirby and Smash Bros in general more. Also tons more original...

[Dr.Saturn]

Crash wold be invincible I mean attacking every one no matter what Would be sweet though.

[EpicE]

I admitt the cooking thing is just weird, Crash Kirby would have been amazing.

[CodeBlack]

Kirby creates a giant explosion which wipes the field clean of enemies.

In the original version he flies like a madman all over the screen while the explosion happens.

ive never seen crash, what would it look like?For shame! Go play some Kirby games. Ha ha.

Here are some Youtube links to Kirby using the Crash ability:

Kirby's Adventure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nj5TmrROQU)
Kirby Super Star (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nj5TmrROQU) (my fav version of Crash)

I would rather see Kirby get a Mic he can use 3 times.

[T-major]

I would have prefered Mic, too. preferably his punk rock one. where he gets the green mohawk and microphone, then screems "SHISKOOOOO!!!!!".... that would be epic!

I think the enemy you get Crash from will be an assist trophy.

Cook Kirby is more original...but i would have liked it if it was mic kirby, but i wouldn't know how would it work.

[Kirby Redux]

now that i see wat ur talking about, yeah, the cook thing seems like something they just threw together, unless is does a lot of damage and/or is unavoidable, i think the Crash thing would be sooooo much better.

[ShadowScar Knight]

Crash would've been perfect. In big stages (like New Pork City) it doesn't have to take up the whole screen. A large chunk of it yes, but not all of it, that way it's not too cheap. Really. D:

... although they should really have more big stages so that there could be SOME methods of escape. Most of the stages are just basic short platforms with shortER ones floating above it. At least Bridge of Eldin is long...

[Commander Blitzkrieg]

I was hoping his FS would be Mike.

[Legendary Angel]

i would have liked it if it was mic kirby, but i wouldn't know how would it work.

It wouldn't work. Unless you could use it only once. Otherwise you could use it once to pwn ur opponents and then save the final two blasts for after they recover.

As for crash, I'd say too close to other final smashes (Ike, Samus, etc.). Although Cook Kirby I admit seems too ordinary, but maybe that's just me being too familiar with the Kirby game series.

How about Magic Kirby?

[Rakath]

Crash Kirby would of been fine, but it lakes the finess and true style of Kirby. Also, big explosions are a dime a dozen, making items outta cookin' your enemies: Priceless. ^_^

Really, which is more Kirby like? Giant Explosion or food?

[shinzou]

Mic and Crash woulda been a bit overpowerful don't you think. You wouldn't be able to dodge it and it would pretty much wipe you out like Samus' FS where in Samus' case you could dodge it, and same with all other FS that did this amount of damage. So Cook was also the more alanced choice imo.

[WarioII]

crash would of been tooo overpowering lol no way to escape at all that would really frustrate me and i think that cook is ingenus and creative because its somethin new and it seems like such a kirby thing that he would do

[3D King]

Yeah, Crash wouldn't have been able to be a Final Smash without either being a completely different move or ridiculoiusly overpowered.

Mike would of been cool though.

[Yo~Yo]

Because Crash Kirby is too good. ^__^

Actually, it probably has to do with the fact that the Cook ability is more humorous, which follows a lot of the style of SSBB. Obviously Crash would have been the fan favorite. :(

lolz...i think mic kirby would have been more fun.....three explosive uses of giant soundwaves with severe knockback:chuckle:

[shinzou]

mic would either have to be waaaaaaay overpowerful... or not strong enough to be a FS. I don't think 3 blast final smash would be fair on other characters. And kirby doing the cook ability was a good idea, it kinda fits his character...

[Viper JLT4GOV]

Well, Kirby loves to eat so that is why he has Cook Kirby.

[Archenyte]

i personally think crash would be a little too cheap and it's much funnier to watch your friends being boiled =)

[iron blade]

Crash would be simple, I like cook better. I expected it and yet I didn't. Cook is more unique and is more interesting in general.

[Shiny Ivysaur]

Wow, this topic is still here? Huh.

What I was thinking is he does his familiar jumping flipping thing, and pounds into the ground. Where he hits, a Bonzai Bill (Peach's Castle) explosion triggers. Same size, damage knockback, etc. His flipping animation gives warning, and anyone within range (Who's able, on their feet, not in the middle of a move, etc.) can run away for a moment. The explosion's big, but not massive. It helps to unnerf kirby by punishing anyone picking on him, but keeps it balanced.
And as for it being "too similar" to other FSs:
Yes, it does damage.
Yes, it does it via a huge boom of some sort (Mario, Samus, Ike)
But it's in a circle, like a huge Bongo Beat.
