What does gimp mean?
A kill that has no business happening at that percent. You catch someone offstage with a weak hit or a steal of their recovery and they just can't make it back. The damage didn't kill them, the situation did.
"He gimped me at 30% with a single bair, I was nowhere near death on paper."
Origin
Super Smash Bros. community slang for a 'cheap'/low-damage early kill.
