Well one of my signature KO's happens to be this little beauty.



I side-b them into the blast zone as they recover.
I've KO'd people at 30% with this.

I don't see many ZSS users even use this effectivly or manage to land it..other than Claw but he does it in a sucession.

I like doing something like a jab combo or a side b to get them off the stage and when they are in mid recovery to down b off the stage, get the sweetspot on it and spike them when they are on low percents:)

Close 2nd has to be when they think they've got you and are edgegrabbing, you up B then and they come down with you :D

Well, my personal favorites are on the Pirate Ship...
1. Get them near the catapult, neut b, watch them get launched to their death.
2. Down smash them into a cannonball.

My favorite is usng a C4 to blast them to kingdom come. Get 'em really in high percentages, then lay a C4 somewhere on the stage that they'll have to get near, and wait for them to slip up. Like on, say, Lylat Cruise. You put a bomb on one of the drop-through platforms, then you wait directly below it. Your enemy comes to you, you grab em and throw them up, then down B again, and Snake's "Now!" Is the last thing they hear.

This is extra fun when playing against a friend. People will get extremely frustrated, and thus play poorly due to being unfocused, so it also works as psychological warfare.
C4? ZSS doesn't have C4's.

Some of my favs are uair and while still in the air up b them back down into another uair or bair... also dsmash and hitting them with a bair as they pop out... or probably my favorite: them trying to gimp my tether recovery and jumping a fair into them for a stage spike and recovery.

It's not really a KO, more of a set-up...

dash attack- d tilt, u air, maybe another up-air, up b, down smash, side B, pwn, taunt.

either the person I played sucked, or I was EXTREMELY lucky. Only done it twice, doubt I could do it consistenly, but it felt awesome.

Well, my favorite Ko's are when I down B and send someone across the stage, to the other side and into the minus one life land.

But my favorite KO ever was when I was KOed actually, it was at Corneria, I was Dedede, my friend was Marth, I had a charged Side-smash waiting for him as he recovered as Marth, I released and saw my hammer coming right at him, YES, down-B in mid-air, perfect timing, probably only one used in the match, I bounce of the fin on the Great Fox and into oblivion, GAME! Marth won, I congratulated my friend on my most memoriable loss on Smash, and smile when I think about it cause how awesome it was.

So ZS Samus, those are some nice KO's huh!

uair, or a combo of a uair (sometimes double uair) then meteor smash with up-b, and then quickly get back to ground to dsmash and launch 'em with a side-b...can be difficult but is soooo awesome when perfectly executed! anyone else done that before?

Down-b spikes are amazingly satisfying. Bair stagespikes are also awesome.

Just about any KO off the stage.

Particularly fun is to perform a Plasma Wire spike, die, then edgeguard once I've respawned while they try recover. It makes me laugh.

I'm very, very fond of using the uair - upB - double-jump - uair - upB - uair combo. It's hard as hell to do, but when I can do it, it's AWESOME.

A friend of mine absolutely loves KOing with the stupidly long-lasting Flip Jump kick.

I always time my moves to hit just as the opponent's end.

Then he pulls a Flip Jump. I think "He'll definitely be done by the time he reaches me."

Yeah, no. D:

yeah, i didn't know down-b spikes either, how do you do it?
Her toes are a sweet spot for it.

My favorite has to be the Up B spike while they're trying to ledge guard. Changes their face from smug to crying.

Or if you have enough stock to manage it your dair can carry them down with you to the bottom.

At high damage levels, I like to grab someone and launch them into the air, and then send them flying with an uair attack. Her whip attacks work nicely, too.

I really like the down+b spike or missing the spike but sending them flying out sideways.
yet somehow i always wind up roofing ppl with the up+aerial.

What I did to DSR, I killed him. Then this happened:

DSR hit me with his side+b, I flew off the stage.
He grabbed the edge so as to edge hog me.
I used my Up+B and spiked him.
DSR died with 4% damage.

This thread aint about your KO's on someone else :| it's about your most satisfying way to KO someone, not your best moments.
