A '''self-destruct''' (abbreviated as '''SD''') is when a character is [[KO]]'d without being hit by an opponent. This usually equates as jumping off the edge, but falls also count as SDs when the stage KOs someone. In [[time mode]], self-destructs subtract one point by default from a player's score; this penalty can be changed to zero or two points only in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. In [[bonus mode]], the player's [[bonus points|score]] is lowered by 500 points. If characters get defeated by their own item, they lose an additional point (Item Self-Destruct worth -1000). Friendly fire also accounts for a loss of additional points. If character | A '''self-destruct''' (abbreviated as '''SD''') is when a character is [[KO]]'d without being hit by an opponent.

Defeating a teammate counts as a self-destruct. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' however, the character that defeated the ally earns a point while the ally loses a point, similar to a regular KO. | Defeating a teammate counts as a self-destruct.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', however, a SD can only be attained if the KO'd character did not get hit by an opponent during the entire [[stock]], as touching the ground after being hit does not reset their KO property. Therefore, a character can be hit by any attack and KO themselves, yet it does not count as a SD. Even performing a [[Footstool Jump]] (which deals no damage) will make it not count as a SD. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.
