A '''gimp''' is the action of [[KO]]ing a [[recover]]ing opponent by interrupting their recovery, often with a rather weak attack that would not KO the opponent otherwise. Gimps tend to involve hitting an opponent off the stage followed by interrupting their recovery, capable of resulting in sometimes earlier KOs; simply interrupting a recovery that is otherwise sure to succeed can also be considered a gimp. Gimps put a large swing on a match, as they can happen at very low percentages, sometimes saving over a hundred points of damage needed to KO the opponent. Sometimes the term "gimp" is used to describe accidental [[SD]]s due to failed recoveries. | A '''gimp''' is the action of [[KO]]ing a [[recover]]ing opponent by interrupting their recovery, often with a rather weak attack that would not KO the opponent otherwise.

[[Ganondorf]] hitting an opponent at 125% offstage with a sweetspotted [[up aerial]] and KOing them would not be considered a gimp, but just successful edge guarding. However, Ganondorf hitting that opponent at 50% with a reverse up aerial, semi-spiking them and causing their recovery to fail, would be considered a gimp. | ||

A [[List of bonuses|bonus]] somewhat related to gimping exists in ''Melee'' called Shameful Fall; it's granted by being at 50% or less and being KO'd by an opponent with 100% or more.
