Sacrificial KO

A Sacrificial KO (previously called Kamikaze), is a manuever in all three installments of Smash. A Sacrificial KO can be used to even out stocks, and some can win a match at only one stock. This kind of KO is most famously used by Kirby and is called Kirbycide, which is so detailed it needs its own page. Most Sacrificial KO's forcibly drag opponents into the out-of-bounds area, thus killing both contestant. When a character uses a Sacrificial KO, their name replaces the "sui" part of the word "suicide" and replaces it with part of or all of the character's name (ie. Ganoncide, Dededecide, Kirbycide, etc.).

The suffix "-cide" means "death."

Characters

 * Kirby: Since the very first Smash Bros. game, people have been killing themselves with Kirby. Kirby can use his Up Throw, Back Throw, Forward Throw, and Neutral B (Inhale) to kill himself and his opponent. See Kirbycide for further information.
 * Bowser: Bowser utilizes a new move in Brawl, the Flying Slam, to commit Bowsercide. In Flying Slam, Bowser grabs his opponent then leaps into the sky. He flips in the air, then fall into the OB. The move can be turned on Bowser, and his movement in the air can be affected by the opponent in the move.
 * Ganondorf: Ganondorf also utilizes a new move in Brawl, the Flame Choke. Ganondorf can use this suicidal attack when he uses his Flame Choke while airborne. Right after he does this, he will immediately kick down hard on his victim and keep his foot on them to which they cannot escape. Most of the time, both plunge off the stage. Depending on the size of course, this can result in a kill and a self-destruct, effectively not helping anyone and just evening out damage. Interestingly, if Ganondorf and his opponent are playing a Stock Match with only one Stock left each, the opponent will win instead. Depending on the timing, this can also trigger a sudden death.
 * King Dedede: King Dedede uses Inhale to try to commit suicide. He sucks in opponent into his large gut and holds them while he tries to walk over the edge. However, this is one of the harder Sacrificial KO attacks to hit, since opponent can break free quite easily.
 * Wario: Wario commits Wariocide by using Chomp on an opponent while they are over an edge, because Wario cannot move during Chomp.
 * Donkey Kong: Donkey Kong's Forward Throw is used to commit "Kongocide". DK lifts his opponent onto his back and can walk freely. Opponents can break free of this however.
 * Diddy Kong: To perform a Diddycide, use Diddy's Monkey Flip on a character that's over the edge. Make sure not to have Diddy extend his foot. If Diddy grabs the enemy, they both fall straight down to their deaths, with Diddy on top. This is generally not a useful technique, because if one simply presses the jump button while falling with the enemy, it will spike them. However, when the enemy is at low percentage and/or if it is the last life, a Diddycide is useful because it guarantees death to the opponent.
