A
desperado attempt is where you would do almost anything to win. Normally used for gaming puposes. It's like
breaking the fourth wall (by cheating) in order to win.
Say you are VS your friend in a fighting game. The desperado attempt would be if you would slam your shoulder into your friend so they would stop attacking you, and you kill them or even the odds
for the win.
