1. Wait..sooo how couldn't Kirby just eat up the yellow tentacles..when he could basically eat everything flawed logic 101.

2. Because favortism.

3. I’m pretty sure everyone is going to be using kirby after this message Kirby actually saves the entire galaxy in smash bros period

4. I like how each panel is like 15 seconds long to juice the run time of this crap video

5. Because Kirby is the ultimate lifeform

6. Totally not because of creator bias

7. All of this could have been over if Link did a perfect parry with the Master Hand blast.

8. “…And based on process of elimination…” Literally.

9. It's the creation of Sakurai why do you think he Gonna kill Her???

10. I'm pretty sure palutena, bayonetta and sonic(if he caught pikachu) could actually get out of there

11. Kirby is #ThugLife of Smash Ultimate

12. Okay, some questions to those who are "brushed up on their sonic lore"
    1 If he didn't have the emeralds how would he move in space?
    2 In what sonic game(s) has reg sonic breathed in open space where there would be no alternative explanations?
    3 What power source/supply would super sonic use? (Rings, smash ball, ect)
    4 How would super sonic matter in a galaxy spanning attack?
    5 Isn't super sonic generally a short term thing in the games, what if he needs to last an extended period?
    6 When have chaos control teleports acted like the warp star did?
    7 How would he make a rift to time travel on his own?
    8 How would he know the chaos emeralds can enable time travel?
    9 If the chaos emerald time travel thing mentioned IS the one from Sonic 2006, WHY in heck would you bring that up!?

    I'm hardly a sonic expert nor have I played every sonic game though. (I know sonic CD involved time travel but i heard they used gates?)

13. I can't get over seeing snake in his card board box

14. He also said bayonata and palatena also could, but because the first character you played had to be easy it was left to kirby

15. Only Kirby can dave the world.

16. Exactly!

17. I don’t necessarily disagree with his reasoning, but at the same time it’s pretty obvious he’s a little biased

18. But the fastest thing alive couldn’t manage to get away lmao

19. Everybody knows at this point that kirby survived because he is sakurai's child. And lowkey, sonic could've easily survived but was eliminated because of pikachu, sakurai(come on now), and even though sonic is one of my favorite game characters, did sakurai and nintendo really want a SEGA character to survive but not other nintendo licensed characters.(wow I sound like a fanboy but whatever).

20. Yeah, okay Sakuri

21. Kirby can travel at the speed of light when his fastest.

22. So why didnt anyone jum on to his warp star like in brawl?

23. When your information is passed by a winded courier.

24. Nepotism

25. Because he's Kirby (no really that's what he said it came down to)

26. Yah coulda just said “cause he’s a badass.”

27. Sonic has ran through multiple universes to get back to his own universe, he mastered chaos control like Shadow who can use it without an emerald, he has stated that light speed is nothing to him, he can breathe in space, Sega has confirmed he's faster than light, and the Guinness Book of World records say that Sonic is the fastest video game character of all time.

28. Because Kirby is Saitama

    ONE PUUUUUNNNCCHH!!!

29. Sonic ?????

30. He ate everyone else!

31. Too bad for the big bad, Kirby litteraly is the strongest among them all. It had to be the best one who survived huh? XD

32. “Kirby was the most obvious choice.” Well I could have told you that. . .

33. Where is Meta Knight?
    Kirby we are strong and it also helped friends and i can save in with Meta Knight

34. More like "It's my game you ungrateful shits I'm gonna make my oc survive because you are never satisfied and I've given up hope of ever pleasing you so I'll do my own thing".

35. Kirby was obvious because he is the most powerful lore-wise and his Star moves faster than light.

36. Its because Sakurai bias

37. I thought it was because he could become other fighters so you were able to play as more characters

38. and Sonic isn't fast enough?????

39. but uh…..but Sonic tho….like……

40. Now if only Marvel could reveal the Avengers 4 trailer.

41. Well, Kirby is the most powerful vg character in existence

42. Becuase hes his baby boi.

43. "Thus makes him the most believable one to escape an attack that evelopes the ends of the galaxy."

    Umm I'm pretty sure Sonic could've ran fast enough to warp speed in and out of that dimension but due to PLOT you wanted him to slow down and help Pikachu. You chose Kirby because that's your own creation. Nice try.

44. I think grenija should have also survived with his ash grenija mode

45. But Squids hidding in the floors didn't escape the light?

46. Do you people really think Sakurai would kill his son?
