Inhale Holding is a technique exclusive to King Dedede and Kirby. It's the occurrence of neutralization of movement between either of the two aforementioned character's neutral B move of inhaling's ability to draw an opponent into their direction, and any other force which would repel an opponent in the other direction, resulting in the 'holding' of the opponent in one spot while taking continuous damage from the repelling force and a consequent swallowing by whoever induced the swallow hold in the first place. An example of this is King Dedede standing behind a Meowth and inhaling while the Meowth is throwing coins in the same direction. Both attacks are toward an opponent standing in front of Meowth. The opponent is being held in the same position taking constant damage from every coin Meowth shoots out (the coins are pushing the opponent away and the inhaling is pulling the opponent in). The move is considered too dependent on factors of luck to execute deliberately, but is, in fact, possible.
