Spawned from this

Currently, Tabuu's file says:

able to ignore durability via Chains of Light & Off-Waves

However, this just doesn't have a justification or explanation. I have no idea why the Chains of Light would negate dura, but as for Off Waves, lets answer some reasoning that was put forth in the other thread.

Let's look at the facts

So:

• Trophyism is a stand in for death in SSE. Nintendo can't exactly show dudes getting slpattered and maintain the T rating after all. One shotting people due to this doesn't need to be hax.
• I mean, attacks deal damage by touching things too.
• This is hardly the only move to do so. Final smashes, grabs, and Little Mac's KO punch also do this. Wouldn't call any of those hax.

It's also not the only move that can one shot people. Golden Bracers are strong enough for this too.

It seems to be a holdover from when you could have "One Shot Kill" as a power but I deleted that and now there's no mechanic to support dura neg so yeah. It should go away.

I agree with this reasoning, although it may be notable that it is possible to be hit by Tabuu's off waves and survive, within gameplay. But on the other hand, the Off Waves in gameplay inflict knockback, & the character doesn't don't turn into a trophy in the event that they aren't KO'd.

Wait so does that mean Smash Kirby technically has passive resurrection?

He and others could only do that once via an item they had only in Brawl, stuff like this is why I want to move this into its own section in everyone's P&A.
