[[File:Roy Neutral B SSBU.gif|thumb|Roy’s [[Flare Blade]] is an example of a one-hit KO move.]]
:''For the smasher '''OHKO''', see {{Sm|Okoru}}.''
A '''one-hit KO''', commonly abbreviated as '''OHKO''', is an attack in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' games with such high base [[knockback]] that it will [[KO]] an opponent at 0%. Such attacks currently exist in every installment of the series.
A '''one-hit KO''', commonly abbreviated as '''OHKO''' (also referred to as an ''Instant KO'' in ''Melee''), is an attack in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' games with such high base [[knockback]] that it [[KO]]s an opponent at 0%. Such attacks currently exist in every installment of the series. However, moves with the potential to OHKO are not necessarily guaranteed to do so, and may fail to OHKO under the following circumstances:
*The opponent [[tech]]s, [[DI]]s, utilizes [[momentum cancel]]ling, and/or [[crouch cancel]]s to reduce the knockback or alter the trajectory of the attack.
*The opponent is flung into a wall, which absorbs enough knockback to prevent the OHKO.
*Knockback may be insufficient to KO at 0% on very large stages (e.g. [[Temple]], [[New Pork City]], and [[75m]]), or from the far edge of a stage.
*Knockback may be insufficient to KO at 0% if the attack had already been landed previously (due to [[stale-move negation]]).
*Knockback may be insufficient to KO [[Weight|heavy]] characters at 0%.
*Opponents are under an effect that makes them more resilient (such as being [[Super Mushroom|giant]], [[metal]], or in an event that reduces the knockback they sustain), or the player is weakened (such as being [[Poison Mushroom|tiny]] or given a lower [[handicap]]).
*The [[launch rate]] is lower than standard, reducing knockback.


==Definition==
The general rule for a move to be considered a one-hit KO is being able to KO an average-weight character, such as [[Mario]], at 0% [[damage]] from the center of [[Final Destination]] under standard conditions as mentioned above. Another common standard is to compare the move's knockback to the [[smash attack]] of the [[Home-Run Bat]], one of the few moves intended to be the quintessential OHKO by the developers.
In general, a move is considered a one-hit KO if it inflicts enough knockback to KO [[Mario]] at 0% from the middle of [[Final Destination]] ([[Dream Land]] in ''[[Smash 64]]'').


As a result, moves and situations like the following are not considered to be one-hit KOs:
Moves that inflict no knockback are [[Instant KO|not considered to meet the definition of one-"''hit''" KO's]]; for example, being flown off the screen by the [[Landmaster]] or eaten by the [[Summit]]'s [[Fish]] or [[Distant Planet]]'s [[Bulborb]] are not listed below.
* [[Meteor smash]]es that only work offstage, such as [[Luigi]]'s down [[taunt]]
* Moves or hazards that inflict no [[knockback]], such as being flown off the screen by the [[Landmaster]] or eaten by the [[Summit]]'s [[Fish]] or [[Distant Planet]]'s [[Bulborb]]
* [[Sacrificial KO]]s such as [[Bowser]]'s [[Flying Slam]], due to also inflicting no knockback
* Moves that only work on certain light characters (such as the first hit of {{SSBM|Roy}}'s [[Blazer]] against {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} on specific [[stage]]s in ''[[Melee]]'')
* Moves that only work on certain stages (such as [[Ike]]'s [[Great Aether]] on [[75m]]), with stage hazards being an exception
* [[Instant KO]]s such as [[Hero]]'s [[Whack]], due to inflicting no knockback
 
Conversely, a one-hit KO move may fail to KO if the standard conditions are not met, such as the stage being large or having [[wall]]s; the opponent being at the far end of a stage; the move being weakened due to [[stale-move negation]]; or the opponent using [[DI]], [[momentum cancel]]ling, [[crouch cancel]]ling, or various other techniques to reduce the knockback or alter the trajectory of the attack.


==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
Moves that KO at 0% are almost nonexistent in the original ''Super Smash Bros''. In fact, aside from the Home-Run Bat, only one move in the game is able to OHKO, and only under uncommon conditions involving [[item]]s.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
Despite [[The Subspace Emissary]] automatically increasing the player's [[gravity]] and [[falling speed]] by up to 19% from normal brawls (making OHKOs less likely), ''Brawl'' features the largest amount of OHKOs, with the vast majority being from [[boss]]es.
''Brawl'' continued the trend of adding several OHKOs into the game. However, the majority are [[Final Smash]]es, [[item]]s, [[stage hazard]]s, or [[boss]] attacks, with very few being standard moves of playable characters.

*The following [[counterattack]]s:
**Ike's Counter (sword and body hitboxes) upon countering a hitbox that deals at least ~45% damage.
**Ike's Counter upon countering an extremely powerful attack (a hitbox that deals at least ~45% damage).
**{{SSBB|Marth}}'s Counter (sword and body hitboxes) upon countering a hitbox that deals at least ~50% damage.
**{{SSBB|Marth}}'s Counter upon countering an even more powerful attack (a hitbox that deals at least ~50% damage).
*Any sufficiently strong or repeatedly [[Reflector|reflected]] projectile when reflected or countered, such as {{SSBB|Zelda}}'s [[Din's Fire]], or a [[Green Shell]].
 
{{SSBB|Sheik}}’s [[Chain]] with the [[Chain Jacket glitch]] can also copy another hitbox, including a hitbox of OHKO power.
Contrary to common belief, Mr. Game & Watch's [[Judge]] #9 is not an OHKO, having very high knockback but not quite enough to qualify under the required conditions.

*Marth's [[Critical Hit]].
*Marth's [[Critical Hit]].
*{{SSBB|Lucario}}'s [[Aura Storm]] at high enough [[Aura]] (Lucario's damage must be at least 95%) if all hits connect, including the initial take-off.
*{{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s [[Beast Ganon]] (if all hitboxes land). If a character paralyzed by Beast Ganon is not hit by the charge afterward, they can be inflicted with a [[meteor smash]] of OHKO power.
*{{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}'s [[Triple Finish]] if most hits connect, including the last one.
*{{SSBB|Lucario}}'s [[Aura Storm]] at full power when all hits connect.
*{{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s [[Beast Ganon]] if most hitboxes land (at least one stomp and charge).
*{{SSBB|Zelda}}'s [[Light Arrow]] (barely in OHKO threshold, easily [[DI]]ed).
*Zelda's [[Light Arrow]] (first opponent only).
*[[Wario-Man]]'s fully charged [[Wario Waft]].
*{{SSBB|Samus}}' [[Zero Laser]] if all hits connect.

*{{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}'s [[Blue Falcon]].
*[[Wario-Man]]'s [[Wario Waft]] fully charged.
 
While close, {{SSBB|Luigi}}'s [[Super Jump Punch]] during [[Negative Zone]] is not quite strong enough, only KOing Mario at 5% and Bowser around 7%. Negative Zone inflicts incremental damage and can easily break these thresholds, but this damage does not consist of "hits" due to inflicting no knockback.

*If an uncharged Hothead is hit by an [[electric]] or [[flame]]-based hitbox that deals at least 30% damage (such as {{SSBB|Ike}}'s stage 6-9 [[Eruption]]), it will OHKO when smash thrown or launched. Coming into contact while it is sparking will also OHKO.
*If an uncharged [[Hothead]] is hit by a fire-based hitbox that deals over 30% damage (such as Ike's stage 7-9 Eruption), it will OHKO when smash thrown. Any sparks it gives off while traversing the stage at this strength will also OHKO.
*If a [[Soccer Ball]] is launched at enough speed (after either being hit by an extremely powerful attack such as [[forward smash]] or a Home Run bat swing, or simply being launched after receiving enough damage), it will OHKO anyone it slams into.

*The [[Ultimate Chimera]]'s bite on [[New Pork City]].
**If the bite lands on the mouth's edge, it deals immense knockback, comparable to Marth's Critical Hit. If the bite traps the character inside the mouth (or the Ultimate Chimera turns around to inflict a reverse bite), the attack hits twice, dealing even more knockback.

===Bosses===
===Bosses===
Due to [[Boss Battles]] mode weakening bosses (to compensate for the player's single [[stock]] and lack of continues, items, or [[sticker]]s), all of the following apply only to {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} or [[The Subspace Emissary]], and cannot OHKO in Boss Battles mode on any difficulty with a single exception. [[Tabuu]]'s Off Waves will still OHKO in Boss Battles on Intense difficulty.
*[[Tabuu]]'s [[Off Waves]] on Normal or higher [[Difficulty|difficulties]] in [[The Subspace Emissary]], or on Very Hard and Intense difficulties in [[Boss Battles Mode]].
* {{SSBB|Master Hand}} and {{SSBB|Crazy Hand}}'s Reverse Throw (Intense).
*Tabuu's Golden Bracket and Chain of Light attacks on Intense difficulty in the SSE.
* [[Rayquaza]]'s Iron Tail (low HP, sweetspot/tip, Intense). Can be teched.
*[[Galleom]]'s attack when he stiffens and falls on the player on Intense difficulty in the SSE.
* [[Galleom]]'s Collapse (sweetspot, Very Hard).
*Galleom's tornado spin on Intense difficulty in the SSE (if most hits connect).
* Galleom's Collapse (sourspot), Double Lariat (all hits connect), Giant Jump (landing directly on opponent, low HP), Uppercut (sweetspot, low HP), and Rush & Slam (against grounded opponents, low HP) (all Intense).
* [[Meta Ridley]]'s Mega Fire Ball (low HP) and Falcon Flyer Pull (giant fireball at point-blank) (all Intense).

*If a [[Hothead]] is powered up significantly by a [[flame]]- or [[electric]]-based hitbox (30% total or higher), it will gain OHKO power when smash thrown or emitting sparks.
*[[Electrode]]'s explosion after being smash thrown.
**[[Equipment]] can increase the player's damage, increasing the amount of damage a Hothead can be charged by and thus making it easier to reach OHKO power.
*If the Hothead is powered up significantly (30% total or higher), it will gain OHKO power.
*The [[Black Knight]] item from [[Smash Tour]] will cause smash attacks to have a 30% chance to have 5 times knockback, occasionally turning them into OHKOs.
*If a [[Soccer Ball]] is launched at enough speed (after either being hit by an extremely powerful attack such as a Home-Run Bat, or being launched after receiving enough damage), it will OHKO anyone it slams into.
*[[Smash attack]]s when boosted by the [[Black Knight]] item from [[Smash Tour]].
 
The [[Beetle]] and [[Boss Galaga]] items can carry players past the upper [[blast line]], but as they inflict no knockback they are not one-"''hit''" KOs and both can be escaped by button mashing.

* Master Core's self-destruction after unleashing the last wave (very small hitbox). However, this knockback can never defeat the player as they have already won by the time the hitbox lands.

*{{SSBU|Marth}} and {{SSBU|Lucina}}'s [[Critical Hit]].
*Lucario's [[Aura Storm]] at max [[Aura]] if all hits connect.
*{{SSBU|Lucario}}'s [[Aura Storm]] at max aura.
*{{SSBU|Olimar}}'s [[End of Day]] if it hits a fighter that cannot be [[buried]]. End of Day's bury hitbox deals 633.15 units of knockback, more than enough to KO any character on ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[Training (stage)|Training Mode Stage]].


Final Smashes executed using [[Final Smash Meter]] always lose their OHKO power, with Critical Hit KOing {{SSBU|Mario}} at 20%.

*The [[Dragoon]].
*A smash attack with the [[Home-Run Bat]].
*The [[Daybreak]]'s sweet spot.
*[[Electrode]]'s Explosion when smash thrown.
*If the [[Hothead]] is powered up significantly, it will instantly KO any fighter it touches.
*A [[Hothead]] when brought from no charge to significant overcharge by a single [[flame]] or [[electric]] attack that deals over 50% damage. If the Hothead hits while sparking, it can OHKO from attacks closer to 30%.
**[[Spirit]]s can increase the player's damage, increasing the amount of damage a Hothead can be charged by and thus making it easier to reach OHKO power.
*The [[Deku Nut]]'s explosion on a grounded target that cannot be stunned, such as [[Sandbag]], or Kirby in his [[Stone]] transformation.

===Other===
===Bosses===
While inaccessible in a regular fashion without hacking, the gun found on the [[Stage#In_Ultimate_3|Free the Spirit screen's stage]] is programmed in as its own usable item, inflicting 30% damage with OHKO power (mainly because the Free the Spirit stage is very small with close blast zones).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5d-BGAls_s The Results Screen is a FULLY PLAYABLE Stage? | Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]</ref> This situation is similar to ''Smash 4''{{'}}s Target Blast bomb.
*[[Galeem|Galeem's]] Lens Flare with weaker or no spirits.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Melee]]'', {{SSBM|Roy}}'s trophy refers to [[Flare Blade]] as an "instant KO".
*The [[Home-Run Bat]] is the only [[item]] (and by extension, the only attack) able to perform a guaranteed OHKO in every ''Smash'' game, at least on its {{b|sweetspot|hitbox}}.
*[[Roy]]'s [[Flare Blade]] and [[Counter]] are the only moves to maintain their OHKO power in every installment.
*At least one playable character from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe possesses a move with OHKO potential in every game. Other main characters appear as items with OHKO power ([[Black Knight]] in ''[[Smash 4]]'').
*[[Marth]]'s [[Critical Hit]] is the only Final Smash to maintain its OHKO power in every installment. Throughout all games, it is also the most powerful attack of any character's standard moveset (in terms of knockback) without any exterior factors or buffs, being impossible to survive if in direct sight of a blast line, even on the largest stages of each game.
*While the majority of OHKOs will fail to work on characters under the effects of a [[Super Mushroom]] or [[Metal Box]], a few attacks have such high knockback that they will still OHKO under these circumstances. In ''Brawl'', this includes [[Suicune]]'s Aurora Beam, Marth's Critical Hit, the [[Ultimate Chimera]]'s bite, and several [[boss]] attacks.
**Starting from ''Smash 4'', a few Final Smashes have hitboxes that negate the effects of such buffs, such as Marth's Critical Hit.
*Tabuu on Intense difficulty in [[The Subspace Emissary]] has more OHKOs than any other boss or enemy in any ''Smash'' game, with 7.
*The most powerful moves in the ''Smash'' series are Tabuu's Off Waves (waves and contact with his body) on Intense difficulty in The Subspace Emissary and Boss Battles, and the Ultimate Chimera's bite in ''Brawl''. Both these attacks are the most damaging moves, dealing 100%-200% damage and having immense knockback.
*Master Core's final explosion on 8.0 difficulty or above is the only OHKO that will never KO the player, since the battle is always already won by the time the hitboxes land.
**Galleom's Tank Rush and Tank Rush & Slam can also hit the player after the boss is defeated, with OHKO power on the higher difficulties.
