We’ve seen a number of clips from Rde that has him reenacting a number of different fighting game moves and mannerisms in real life. However, one of his latest clips is… something else entirely.
Essentially, Rde attempts to recreate Kirby’s moveset and other interactions from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Of course, this presents an interesting challenge considering that Kirby only vaguely resembles a humanoid character.
Kirby is effectively a head with little nubs attached that are supposed to be his arms and legs. Needless to say, it wouldn’t be enough for Rde to simply perform Kirby’s movements in real life.
Ultimately, Rde decides to duck his head into a pink shirt with Kirby’s face at the front. His arms protrude from out of the sleeves and then bend back into them, resulting in only the elbows being exposed.
Though Kirby is supposedly only eight inches tall, he’s scaled up with the rest of the fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Still, he’s considered to be one of the shortest characters in the game. To represent this, Rde bends his legs for the entirety of the video, performing each action while crouched.
Rde ends up showcasing Kirby’s taunt, down tilt, down throw, rapid jab combo, and up special. In certain segments, the video is clearly being sped up so that Rde can match the speed in which Kirby is seen attacking.
Check it all out below… if you dare:
