Can we have a universal name for B tricks?

[Nintendevil]

As a ROB main, staying mobile and flipping around is important. Bturnarounds can mean help approaching, hitting after RARs, setting up bairs, and lots more. I like to use lots of wavebouncing, B turnarounds, and B reversals because of this. Whenever I'm trying to give someone advice, I always have to say "Use more wavebouncing/ B turnarounds/ B reversals" which kinda ticks me off. I have nothing against their names, because they're all different and are used different times, but I don't enjoy generalizing them by each name. We need something universal.

I dont really understand what you mean by "universal".

 

[Chupathingy]

I think he means a generalized name for the tech, instead of it having quite a few that he named.

 

[Wylde]

Lets call it waving instead of wavelanding/wavedashing

/thread

 

[Yuna]

What's wrong with just saying "B (button) techniques"?

Uh, didn't you just say you don't like it, but then say you want it?

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

But they're all DIFFERENT techniques. I don't... get it.....

 

[nightSN]

there called specials? LOL

 

[Deleted member]

so are we talking about wavebouncing or something like that?

 

[AAP]

uhhhh.....how about "B-tricks"?

 

[Ussi]

bad idea, if we start calling arrow cancels, B cancels, I might confuse it with laser cancels which also become b cancels. And if a lot of characters have b cancels, scrubs will start thinking everyone can cancel their Bs.

isn't it the smashlabs job to rename things or come up with official names? I remember one of them saying boost tossing would be the official name because for some reason they don't like dacit

 

[Sorgens]

I thought specials was the universal name?

 

[Nintendevil]

-_-

No, I mean flipping the momentum/direction/both of special attacks, not the attacks themselves.

 

[Sosuke]

People just generally call it B reversals from my experience.
But it doesn't really matter. Either of the ones you listed will let the other guy know what your talking about.

 

[Geist]

Yeah, alot of people just go with reverse B, or B reversal.


But spending an extra second to type/say it isn't going to kill you.

There are different phenomena though. The OP is correct at least that there's a difference between a B-reversal and a turnaround-B.

Turnaround-B: In the air, tap backwards then quickly use your neutral B. You'll do your neutral-B facing the opposite direction.

I'm not sure if you can turnaround-B specials other than your neutral-B.

B-reverse: Use a side-B or up-B (maybe some others, char-dependent?), then quickly tap the opposite direction. The special might start in the first direction and then change; very visible with Squirtle's up-B, for example. This often has a weird momentum effect that is often called a "wavebounce".

I could be wrong about these terms and their definitions, though.... and I'm not sure if these names are the most widely-used for their respective phenomena.

Yeah, a turnaround B is like that in Melee (direction before B, no momentum change).
A B reversal is something new in Brawl (direction after B, momentum reversal).

Just call them B reversals; Waveboucing (iirc) was just something SamuraiPanda suggested ages back.

See this is what everyone thinks and it's Incorrect. Wavebouncing can ONLY be done with the C stick.

B reversals Flip the character, and move him in the other dirrection.

Wavebouncing, Moves the character the same way, but he still faces forwards.

And yes, B turnarounds are the Melee one, where your momentum is still forward, but the character is flipped. Plz don't make me upload a video, I'm too lazy ;-;
