From ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward however, an SD can only be attained if the KO'd character did not get hit by an opponent during the entire [[stock]] or for three entire minutes, as touching the ground after being hit does not automatically reset their KO property. Therefore, a character can be hit by any attack (or even be [[Footstool Jump]]ed off of), return to the stage, continue to play for a while, and intentionally KO themselves, but it will not count as an SD. Players, however, will often refer to any fall that is clearly the player's own fault as a self-destruct, regardless of whether the game counts it as such. This change may have been done because, in time mode, a player on the verge of getting KO'd could just SD to avoid giving a point to another player, and the new way of counting SDs prevents this behavior.

Moves with high self-destruction risks may be [[Marth]]'s and [[Lucina]]'s [[Critical Hit]] ([[Roy]] does not have this problem), [[Bowser]]'s [[Flying Slam]] (if Bowser and his target go over the ledge), [[Ike]]'s [[Great Aether]] if there is no platform in the middle to stop his descent, [[Robin]]'s [[Nosferatu]], [[Kirby]]'s [[Inhale]] off the ledge (if Kirby gets a hold of his target, causing a [[Sacrificial KO]]) and the [[Hero]]'s Kamikazee technique with his [[Command Selection]].

The [[Hero]]'s Kamikazee technique with his [[Command Selection]] is notable for forcing a self-destruct, being the only move to do so.
