So there's a Ninja Spike, but wouldn't it be awesome if there was a Pirate Spike also?  Well, there is one!

Unlike the Ninja Spike this is not done with a throw, nor is it named after a Kirby hat.  Instead, it derives its name from Tetra's Ship on the Pirate Ship stage.  The Pirate Spike is not limited to any particular character - you can do it to anyone -  but only on the Pirate Ship stage.

In order to perform a 'Pirate Spike' all you have to do is Inhale a victim and drop into the water on the left side of the ship.  Make sure you are facing toward the ship when you fall into the water because your Inhale will 'water-cancel' and the opponent will break free and float into the ship's hull where they get spiked.

The most efficient way of getting a Pirate Spike on someone is a ledge-hopped Inhale.  As you fall back past the ledge drift over to the hull.  If your distancing is correct your opponent will be spiked and Kirby will not get hit.

 

Yarrrrr!

Sounds good :D

I tried to do this a while back, but I could never get it to work D:

That's a Kirbycide (hopefully) without you dying.

I think the picture of Pirate Kirby is epic win.

Nice find. I should look more into it.

Nice job T1mmy. Always wondered if it would work, but never actually got around to trying it.
Think you could get a video clip of it and send it to me on SWF? (Trying to get a video guide to CPing done, but the less I have to find a way to record, the better.).

Honestly it's not that complicated. Inhale your opponent and spit them out into the spiking part of the ship. That is, if your foe is dumb enough to get inhaled.

That's not it. If you try and spit them out, they just fly up the front of the ship after they get out of the star transformation. You can try it at any level before you hit the water, it just won't work. Read t1mmy's description again, its not the same as what you are describing.

A CP guide, eh?  Might wanna mention the fc trick (it's like the battlefield thing we discovered, where you cancel the momentum) on brinstar, the earthquake glitch on brinstar, the sliding off the slanted edges on brinstar for delayed edguarding, the sharking on brinstar, the...

Love the pirate kirby pic.

Win.
Kirby for Top Tier.

This is just great.

So this is what the Pirate Spike is... interesting. Something I'd already thought of (I think) before, but clever nonetheless.
