:So basically, this refers to the ones that destroy the opponent on the spot rather than sending them off the blast lines, right? This seems like the most appropriate way to go about it, so I support the split. However, I do think that it needs a different name than "Instant KO" to more easily distinguish the two, as many people use it as a synonym for an OHKO. Maybe we could get rid of the distinction with [[Obliviate]] and go with that as a catch-all? [[User:DryKirby64|DryKirby64]] ([[User talk:DryKirby64|talk]]) 18:07, 29 August 2018 (EDT)

::I do want to point out that numerous articles already use "instantly KO'd" to refer to the destruction effect ([[Infernal Climax]], [[Obliviate]], [[Danger Zone]], [[crush]], {{SSBU|Ridley}}, the list goes on). I think it's a very natural way of phrasing it, and I think disambiguation text at the top of the new article ("for attacks powerful enough to KO in one hit, see One-hit KO") would suffice.

:::I support the split, but I feel like we should also perhaps bring up that "one-hit KO" moves fail to KO in [[cave of life|caves of life]] (including [[no KO]] stages), while instant KOs bypass the blast lines and do work in caves of life. --[[User:Luigifan18|Luigifan18]] ([[User talk:Luigifan18|talk]]) 19:51, 31 August 2018 (EDT)
