Intro:
(To skip past, jump to paragraph with the preceding asterisk*)
My friend (who is not on the boards) and I were fooling around with Smash today, me as Kirby and him as R.O.B., in the 1-2 stage of Mushroomy Kingdom. I Kirbycide into one of the pits, and we go to sudden death, which doesn't happen often in a stock match, but is not unheard-of. Eventually he gets KO'd by a falling bomb but I wonder what would happen if I Kirbycide during a sudden death for a simultaneous KO; would it be another sudden death match?
*First off, we discovered that a double-sudden death doesn't happen for a simultaneous KO. Though probably obvious, it was the first question we answered. Following that, though, through copious expirimentation, we discovered the heirarchy of tiebreakers for who wins a sudden death in the unlikely event of a simultaneous KO, as caused by Kirby, Dedede, or Ganondorf. (Bowser KO's the character below him and as close as it is, isn't a simultaneous KO--but we already knew that)
(0th deciding factor: Obviously, during sudden death, the first person to get knocked off the KO boundary losees, and the person remaining wins. Duh.)
1st) Whoever has more damage loses, regardless of who spurred the simultaneous KO. Conversely, whoever has a lower damage percent wins. In the event that damage is the same for both characters, move to #2.
2nd) If damage is the same, whoever initiated the KO action wins, with one exception. In other words, whoever was responsible for the inhale attack will be the victor.
3rd) Ganondorf loses (again, only if damage is the same--if Ganondorf has less damage percent, he will win). If Ganondorf Ganoncides an opponent, the opponent will win.
I hope that in some obscure corner of the Smash archive this may prove helpful, and my apologies if this is already known.
Tl;dr version: Damage first, inhaler second, Ganondorf loses.
