 ==Name/Purpose of page==
 I think we should turn this page from a description of the technique into a description of the piece of game physics which involves behing hit off platforms while shielding. As such, we should come up with a better name. How about "shield slipping"?

 ::I think we should name it "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyFtJDxsqMs&feature=related edge slip]".

 :::I was thinking about the name "edge slip", but I thought that the word "shield" should probably be in there somewhere, hence why I suggested "shield slip".

 ::::::As I pointed out, shielding isn't always necessary for this phenomenon to occur, so having "shield" in the name of the article isn't needed. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 08:54, 22 May 2011 (EDT)
 OK wait I think I understand this. If you shield a powerful attack (but without powershielding), then you will be knocked back a certain distance, right? Using this to knock an opponent off a platform is a legitimate technique that I've had used on me. [[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Anon|talk]]) 12:13, 21 May 2011 (EDT)
+Hello, I know this is an old page but I think it's very fascinating and could use some updates. I agree this tech should have a name change as I've never heard of it being referred to as edge slipping before but I see that GimR seemed to have coined it. The problem is that GimR and other Smash Ultimate labbers have developed a tech with a similar name, "ledge slipping" and some members such as CoachDKPill have even argued that it should just be called "Edge Slipping" because it applies to platform edges as well. PewPewU has also recently referred to the original "edge slipping" as "shield pushoff" or "shield slide off" and describes the difference between sliding off while facing forward and backwards. Both seem to be more accurate and up to date names that would do away with the confusion relating the new Ultimate tech, which I also think should get its own separate page.

+:If they're separate mechanics then they should have their own pages. Unfortunately since the names are very similar it might be best to have a separate page with a title like "Ledge slipping (SSBU)" or something similar to differentiate - so feel free to create a new article if you'd like (or alternatively, we can add a new section for Ultimate at the end of the page, and then discuss splitting/renaming to the best title later). One last thing, to sign your comments on talk pages you just have to type four tildes <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, it will automatically format the date and time for you.
