==[[Sacrificial KO]] "break"==
==[[Sacrificial KO]] "break"==
If the recoverer is using a character that has an effective sacrificial KO move, that can be used in lieu of a true edge-guard break. Under this scenario, the recoverer would assume that the risk of them being successfully edge-guarded is too great to merit any effort towards the break. Instead, the recoverer simply tries to drag the edge-guarder off the stage with them. This is most easily done with {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, {{SSBB|Kirby}}, and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, although it can also be done with {{SSBB|Bowser}} and (in the case of an offstage edge-guard) {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}. For obvious reasons, this should not be used when the recoverer has only one [[stock]] left while the edge-guarder has more than one.
