Being Sent to The Shadow Realm

A term typically used while playing fighting/platformer games. This entails being hit off-stage and losing a stock. Unlike "Being Sent to Brazil", this occurrence involves the fighter being sent down at a 90° angle to the floor. The most common occurrence of this is in the Super Smash Bros. franchise, in which one fighter can strike the other using a certain move that spikes the opponent straight down (this is referred to as a "meteor smash" by the creators of the game).

"There's nothing more embarrassing than being sent to The Shadow Realm after talking smack to your opponent, trust me it's a nasty experience."

Being Sent to Brazil

A term typically used while playing fighting/platformer games. This entails being hit off-stage and losing a stock. Furthermore, the fighter must be in a "ragdoll" state (cannot be controlled by the player) the entire time. If the fighter is sent straight down, that is different (referred to as "Being Sent to the Shadow Realm").

"Josh was boasting about how dominant he was against me. Being sent to Brazil really fixed that issue."
