-A '''sacrificial KO''' (also called a '''kamikaze''' or a '''suicide''') is a technique that has appeared in all installments of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros'' series]], where one character [[KO]]s both themselves and an opponent with a single move. A majority of sacrificial KOs involves attacks that can [[grab]] opponents in midair, though a number of other attacks, such as [[stall-then-fall]] aerials and self-damaging attacks with self-knockback, can also be considered sacrificial KOs. Most sacrificial KOs result in the user [[self destruct]]ing, either by directly KOing them alongside the opponent or by preventing them from potentially returning to the stage.
+A '''sacrificial KO''' (also called a '''kamikaze''', a '''suicide''' or a '''trade-off''') is a technique that has appeared in all installments of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros'' series]], where one character [[KO]]s both themselves and an opponent with a single move. A majority of sacrificial KOs involves attacks that can [[grab]] opponents in midair, though a number of other attacks, such as [[stall-then-fall]] aerials and self-damaging attacks with self-knockback, can also be considered sacrificial KOs. Most sacrificial KOs result in the user [[self destruct]]ing, either by directly KOing them alongside the opponent or by preventing them from potentially returning to the stage.
 Sacrificial KOs are useful if the user has a high percentage and the opponent has a low percentage; as the user is likely to be KOed soon, taking down a comparatively fresh opponent at the same time can even out the match. If the user has a lead in stocks, sacrificial KOs accelerate the match and can even score victories if the victim only has one stock remaining. In the same way, low-damage or trailing players should avoid using sacrificial KOs, as this simply brings them closer to losing. If both players have only one stock remaining, then the user can win, lose, or enter [[Sudden Death]], depending on the exact characteristics of the individual technique.
