My thoughts:

Inhaling:

Pros

+ You can perform a Swallowcide

+ You can Star Shoot another foe if they're near

+ It's a grab move, so you don't have to worry about people shielding it


Cons

- The Inhale range is awful

- Some characters is hard to inhale, due to numbers of strategies to use against it

- Marth and Ike can use counter on it x_x



Swallow:

Pros

+ You will gain a new power so you can use for different advantages

+ On tourney teams, you can copy your partners power so you can cause more havoc

+ Most of the powers can help you KO your foe


Cons

- Some characters can use it better

- You can lose your power at a random attack, even attacks that does zero damage

- A lot of characters is hard to inhale, and they don't give a good power for Kirby at the same time


That's all in my mind right now.

You forget that if you swallow your opponent, sometimes they get a positional advantage on you (since they go on top), and they can do things that hurt you even more.

Though, sucking your opponent when they're on the edge sometimes sets them off, especially if they're inexperienced with your technique.

I'd say spit is useful to because it is unexpected. Everyone swallows. It's just a dirty technique. When you spit, you can also hit multiple targets (In team or a big FFA). Swallowing is good sometimes, as long as your foe does not see this cuming. If they, you might get hit by something in the face, right above you.

I do neither.
Just letting them break out of my mouth does the job for me.

*wonders what the topic's title used to be*

This is funny because we almost can't really tell if it's serious or not >_>

It used to be "Do you suck or swallow?". Then I realized that doesn't make sense since...yeah.

This probably says a lot about how much I've been getting lately.
