One-hit KO

A One-Hit KO (or abbv. OHKO) is a very strong hit that can KO the enemy at 0% damage, but basically all of them are highly conditional, all sharing the following restrictions:

• The opponent does not tech, DI, or crouch cancel.
• There is not a wall to block the knockback.
• Knockback may be insufficient on very large stages (e.g. Hyrule Temple, New Pork City)
• Knockback may be insufficient if the attack had been used previously.
• They are essentially normal attacks, so they can be blocked or dodged as usual.

The rule of Final Smashes as One-Hit KO's is if they can kill opponent's at 0% from one side of Final Destination (the largest tournament legal stage) to the other and resulting in a KO.

Examples

• Roy's fully charged Standard Special Move, Flare Blade.
• Pichu's fully charged Skull Bash.
• Knuckle Joe's finisher.
• Suicune's Aurora Beam (Brawl Only).
• Deoxys's Hyper Beam.
• A Smash Attack done by a Home-Run Bat.
• Game and Watch's fully charged Oil Panic, with Ness's PK Flash, or another strong projectile.
• Getting eaten by the Fish on Summit or a Bulborb on Distant Planet. (This is not technically a "hit"; rather, the victim is trapped and dragged off-screen.)
• Roy's Counter against certain higher-knockback attacks.
• The explosion from a Banzai Bill.
• The Ultimate Chimera's bite. (In Stamina Mode, it's sometimes a One-hit KO.)
• Corneria's cannon laser shots.
• A Pitfall against a Wario using the Wario Bike.
• Marth's Critical Hit Final Smash.
• Zelda's Light Arrow Final Smash (Sheik's as well, but the knockback path is more likely to hit an obstacle).
• Lucario's Aura Storm Final Smash when Lucario is at 200%.
• Wario-Man's fully charged Wario Waft.
• Luigi's Fire Jump Punch inside his Negative Zone Final Smash.
• The Dragoon
• Tabuu's Off Waves (on Normal or higher difficulties in SSE). (Very Hard and Intense in Boss Battle mode)
• Getting crushed in the Subspace Emissary.
• Getting hit by the bow/front of the Pirate Ship.

There are other attacks than can one-hit KO opponents, but depend on the size of the stage.
