Forum:Create "instant KO/death" article
Currently, Instant KO redirects to One-hit KO. Terminology aside, the article includes several examples of true "instant KOs" that clearly do not belong in the article, which is otherwise essentially a list of particularly powerful launching attacks. The instant KO examples, however, are not launching attacks, and some of them aren't attacks at all. They are things like Danger Zones, Obliviate, and getting crushed. This list is not complete even for Smash 4 instances, and Ultimate looks to be getting several more, seen with Final Smashes, Mimimkyu, KOs in stamina mode until the last stock, and more.
Given that these instant death effects are not the same as mere powerful OHKO moves, and given that Ultimate will be significantly expanding their number of unique instances, I propose creating a separate article for them with the title Instant KO and removing the redirect. If that terminology is contentious, I'm fine with using another name and keeping the redirect, but Instant KO is ideal in my opinion.
The article will initially include at least the following (with links to existing articles where appropriate, rather than extensive details):
- Danger Zones
- Orne's Obliviate effect
- Crushing on Pirate Ship (Brawl only) and Midgar
- Crushing in SSE
- Infernal Climax
- Ridley's Final Smash
- Triforce of Wisdom
- Mimikyu
- Death's Scythe
- Ultimate Chimera (Ultimate only)
- Stamina KOs in Ultimate
I'll gladly add all this if approved. SuperFalconBros (talk) 17:50, 29 August 2018 (EDT)
- Are you leaving out Triforce of Wisdom and Infernal Climax? Aidan, the Rurouni 17:53, 29 August 2018 (EDT)
- I had Infernal Climax on there, but forgot Triforce of Wisdom. Thanks! SuperFalconBros (talk) 17:54, 29 August 2018 (EDT)
