So I recently realized that getting KOs is sometimes a problem for me against top level players. I figured this would be a good discussion, since after all the goal of the game is to KO your opponent.
Similar to my other random ideas topic, just list as many different ways as you can think to get KOs, whether it be character specific, gimps, anything whatsoever that results in your opponent getting KOed.
Some stuffs I do:
1. Run at them, pivot just outside their range, then pivot grab/react to what they do: This is an old mindgame I used last year then totally forgot about then recently remembered. It's already hard enough to tell what Olimar is doing, so pivoting in front of them makes it look like you whiffed a pivot grab, when in reality you're very much mobile. Nice to do when you have a blue in front, leads to a quick throw (subnote: when you grab with a blue and they are in KO range, throw as fast as you possibly can so they can't DI).
2. Land-Usmash/Dsmash: Got this from playing weruop at Genesis. I used to have a horrible habit of just waiting to feel that hit on my shield for a grab, and he KOed me a lot by landing behind me (and sometimes even right in front of me) and FF-airdodge-smash.
3. Snake specific: KO after getting Dthrown. Just get up, and then Usmash. And before Dabuz rolls in here because he searched his name (<3) and says that's impossible, sometimes you just gotta wait like a second before you get up, it'll throw off their timing. I've KOed many a snake this way, and it also makes them think twice about doing the Dthrow too. This also isn't too bad for any sort of tech chase situation.
4. Reading their rolls with a charged Dsmash: idk apparently I'm good at this. You can also do this out of grab release.
5. Usmashing when they are on a edge of a platform: usually you get lucky and they fall off, and then you can just smash them again. I think most of you already know this one
6. I thought of a good one but then I forgot ugh
After that, I'm a little thin on getting KOs, apart from just hitting them with a KO move. So go ahead and list whatever you have.
Hilt if you feel this belongs in the random ideas topic or somewhere else just lemme know.
