  • @firey_blast
    @firey_blast 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1011

    ‘Meteor (Smash)’ is the correct term for a downward-launching attack in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Meteors in Ultimate work the same way as a spike in Melee, but the game itself refers to them as ‘Meteor Smashes’ or ‘Moves with a Meteor effect’. All Meteor moves work properly in Ultimate so the term ‘Spike’ is unnecessary albeit accepted. It is not an incorrect term.

      spike is what should be used though because it is what a spike is in melee and it makes communication between the communities easier. even if it is referred to as meteor in game spike is the more widely accepted term

    • @Dave_Chrome
      @Dave_Chrome 5 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a spike just a move that causes airborne opponents to be strongly launched downwards, and a meteor is like a spike, but even stronger and _straight down?_

    • @thesomebodywhoo
      @thesomebodywhoo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      @@Dave_Chrome Pretty much but their strength doesn't matter and spikes, unlike meteors could be canceled in melee and brawl.
      Since meteor canceling is no longer a thing in newer smash games it doesn't really matter which term you use. Although the game itself refers to them as meteor smashes.

    Actually, tomohawk is the action of empty hopping into a fastfall, it has nothing to do with a grab, thats a common misconception. Technically it would be called a 'tomohawk grab'. The importance of tomohawk is that it often baits your opponent to shield, and grab just happens to often be the best option due to it countering shield. For example, tomohawking is still a term even in platfighters that dont have grabs such as Rivals of Aether, even though it is significantly less useful in that game.
    Great video though, Im sure this will help a lot of newcomers.

    15:43 Ultimate does call "spikes" meteor smashes though. If you look at the support spirit Ezlo, you'll see it's attribute is "Toss & Meteor", and the description says it powers up grabs and downward smashes.
    Though I guess it makes sense to separate the two terms if both are used for different things by the community. I'm still new to the game, so thank you so much for making this video. I'll have an easier time getting into the game now.

      @LloydTheZephyrian 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      To be fair, meteors and spikes have a difference in Melee. There was meteor cancelling on some downward-launching moves, but moves that could not be meteor cancelled were called spikes. I guess it was just an old habit from the Melee players that went on to Sm4sh and SmashU.

    • @LastStar007
      @LastStar007 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Foxtrotting and dash dancing are similar but not the same. Foxtrotting is moving quickly across the stage by starting to dash but letting go of the stick before you're fully dashing. It's done to cover ground more quickly than walking while still having access to your walking options (e.g. tilts).
      Dash dancing is starting to dash, then starting to dash the other way, then back to the first direction, and so on, resulting in no change in position. It's used to make your movement hard to predict and mess with your opponent's spacing, as your opponent doesn't know whether you're going to move quickly towards them or quickly away.

    Gotta correct you on your spike terminology
    -A meteor is any move which sends downwards (faster than connecting hits like those from falco fair).
    -A meteor smash is a move which sends downwards quickly, but the hitstun ends, meaning the enemy has an opportunity to recover (it also has the extra meaty sound effect).
    -A spike is a move which sends downwards and has very long (infinite?) hitstun, Think of chrom and ike up b. They also have the same meaty sound effect.
    In conclusion, most things in this game are meteors or meteor smashes, but there are some spikes (in smash 4, the only spikes were from items, no fighters had any, ultimate is different though). Hope this helps.

    • @FierceFIYA
      @FierceFIYA 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Now I gotta correct you on that, in Melee:
      -A meteor smash sends you straight downward and can be meteor cancelled by jumping or using Up B 8 frames after the hitlag ends (like Captain Falcon's Dair and Marth's Dair in the PAL version)
      A spike sends at an angle beyond the meteor cancel threshold, thus can't be meteor cancelled (Falco's Dair, Marth's Dair in the NTSC version)
      -In Brawl: The meteor smash angle threshold has been widened to the point that no playable characters has a true spike. Spike is only used as an informal term.
      -In Smash 64, Smash 4 and Ultimate:
      Meteor cancelling isn't a thing, therefore every meteor smash is also a spike. The terms are interchangeable.

    • @Balakin2
      @Balakin2 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@FierceFIYA I wont argue with you on any of your points there except for smash 4 and presumably ultimate (because I don't know or care for any of the other games), because I know that spikes are specific and kill from 0, like arceus' spike, but other moves are only meteors and meteor smashes. I would direct you towards the wiki for confirmation, because unless I'm interpreting it wrong, it corroborates my points.
