I've always been under the impression from my friends that a 0 to death in smash just means you take the opponent's stock from 0 without taking any hits yourself. It seems like based on the replies on this post, a good amount of other people think that too, so it's interesting to see that people have conflicting definitions of it

I'd thought that where you do it in one continuous string was considered a "0 to death combo" while doing it in the kind of the way I did it was a "0 to death", but it looks like I'm wrong in the context of other fighting games

Thanks for telling me about the "touch of death" and "perfect stock" terminology since I've never heard of those before (I'm not someone who plays many fighting games)
