Gimp

This article is a stub. You can help SmashWiki by expanding or finishing it.

A gimp kill is a very low-percent kill that can put a really large swing on the outcome of a match. Fox's Shine spike and Marth's d-tilt and spike both are very effective for gimp kills, and Marth's game in particular has become very conducive to a variety of gimp kills recently with the new generation of pros such as Mew2King and KoreanDJ. Gimp kills range from large knockback moves, spikes, edge-guarding, as well as various other techniques. Gimp kills are most effective on characters with low vertical and/or slow recoveries, like Link and Donkey Kong.
