Crush

Samus is crushed in The Research Facility (Part II).

Crushing is an uncommon method of being KOed, which involves the player's character being stuck between two solid platforms that move into each other; if players are unable to move out of the way from the common collision point of the two platforms, then they will be crushed when the two platforms meet. This results in an instant KO without passing the blast line. This only occurs in various stages in the Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Pirate Ship in Brawl, and Midgar in Super Smash Bros. 4.

The way to get crushed on the Pirate Ship stage in Brawl is at the moment right before the ship crashes onto a rocky island. If players jump off the ship onto the rightmost edge of the island before the ship crashes into it, they can be crushed by the collision between the island and the ship. This is somewhat difficult to pull off, as touching the hull of the ship before the collision will result in getting meteor smashed instead. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, it appears as a DLC stage, and instead of being crushed, players will be spiked and will ricochet off the rock and be KO'd across the upper blast line.

In SSB4, the player can be crushed in Midgar if they are caught in between the two halves of the main platform when they come back together after Odin slices it.
