KO: Difference between revisions

All characters have the same KO explosion, namely, a gigantic colorful blast that extends in the direction the victim was KO'd, in the color of the player's port: Player One's explosion is red, Player Two's is blue, [[CPU]]s are grey, and so on. Only two characters have slightly different KO explosions, [[Mega Man]] and [[Luma]]: Mega Man will split up into orbs the color of his costume (alongside the normal explosion), like he does when he dies in the ''Mega Man'' series (they will sometimes not appear if many Mega Mans are KO'd at the same time), while Luma's explosion is smaller and creates colorful stars. A [[one-hit KO]] occurs when the target suffers a KO even when their damage is at 0%, while an instant KO completely bypasses knockback and damage.

*[[Pac-Man]] (with the exception of ''Smash 4''{{'}}s StreetSmash, where he uses his original death sound from ''Pac-Man'')

[[StreetSmash]] gives Pac-Man a KO sound not heard normally. Notably, both of [[Ganondorf]]'s KO voice line in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', female [[Corrin]]'s and female [[Inkling]]'s secondary KO voice lines are much longer than most other characters. ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[Stamina Mode]] also uses one of these sounds for almost all characters except for {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}, {{SSBU|Hero}}, {{SSBU|Terry}}, {{SSBU|Byleth}}, {{SSBU|Min Min}}, {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}, {{SSBU|Pyra}}, {{SSBU|Mythra}}, {{SSBU|Kazuya}}, and {{SSBU|Sora}} who instead use their heavy knockback cries, and {{SSBU|Joker}} and {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}, who use a unique voice clip. An [[instant KO]] from Hero's [[Command Selection|Kamikazee]] also always uses the primary KO voice clip. Another peculiarity specific to ''Ultimate'' is that, should a fighter be sent flying during their last stock and the current match end, their KO scream usually not play or play only very briefly.

While most characters simply emit pain sounds of various kinds when KO'd, from ''Brawl'' onward, a few such as [[Pit]] and [[Robin]] can speak phrases. All of these are used as secondary KO clips.
