The term "JV" refers to winning with a fresh stock with zero opponent-inflicted damage; for example, a "JV two-stock" means the victor defeated their opponent with one stock remaining and not having been damaged by the opponent in any way, referencing that the winner was only one hit away from a two-stock. This is often used for varying levels of bragging rights for skill. For example, (JV) three-stocking an opponent shows a greater difference of skill than if the player "merely" two-stocked them. Furthermore, a "JV five/four-stock" (winning with all four/three stocks remaining without taking any damage in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', respectively) is considered a [[wikipedia:Perfect game (disambiguation)|perfect game]], and successfully performing one shows an extreme difference in skill level or incredible ability of the winner to perfectly read the loser's actions, as the loser failed to land even a single hit on the opponent. The terminology was coined and named after {{sm|Jv3x3}} an old school Mid-West player and popularized by {{sm|Ken}} yelling it at such tournaments as [[Super Champ Combo]] and others. | The term "JV" refers to winning with a fresh stock with zero opponent-inflicted damage (not including damage from Fox's gun); for example, a "JV two-stock" means the victor defeated their opponent with one stock remaining and not having been damaged by the opponent in any way, referencing that the winner was only one hit away from a two-stock.

A variation of "JV" is the "Freshman", where a player wins with 40% damage or less on their current stock. For example, if a player has three stocks remaining, but has 30% damage on their character, it is considered a "Freshman four-stock". | A variation of "JV" is the "Freshman", where a player wins with 40% damage or less on their current stock.
