Making it gender neutral since not all Smash characters or players are male.
(This is just the same 3-minute rule from Brawl. If you SD without getting hit (regardless of time elapsed) the game still counts it as one.)

A '''self-destruct''' (abbreviated as '''SD''') occurs when a character is [[KO]]'d without being hit by an opponent. This usually equates as intentionally (or unintentionally) jumping off the edge oneself, but falls also count as SDs when the stage KOs someone due to a hazard. In [[Time mode]], self-destructs subtract one point by default from a player's score; this penalty can be changed to zero or two points in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. In [[bonus mode]], the player's [[bonus points|score]] is lowered by 500 points. If characters get defeated by their own [[item]], it counts as both a fall and an SD, making them lose an additional point (Item Self-Destruct worth -1000). [[Friendly Fire]] also accounts for a loss of additional points. The character with the most self-destructs gets the Master of Disaster bonus (-1000), unless they have double or more the SDs of whoever has the second-most (and at least 3), in which case they get Self-Destructor instead (-2000).
