==Rename to aerial tether== | |||
I brought this up a while back on the Discord but the name "grab aerial" is very problematic in my opinion. When you use that term, it carries with it the potential implication(s) that it's a move that can grab people in midair, that all characters have it because all characters have a grab, and other misleading half-truths or conclusions that are outright false, and I just think it's a confusing term (I could see somebody mistaking it for aerial item grabs, for instance). Nobody actually uses this term, either, which just adds to the confusion when you see this article linked to. | |||
I'd propose changing the title of this article to aerial tether, as that better communicates that it can be used exclusively characters with tether grabs, doesn't make any mention of grabbing, and implies the existence of the unique recovery mechanics they have. Tether aerial could also work and would better match the format of other air attack names, but aerial tether just rolls off the tongue better. | |||
Of course if this change was to be made, it'd necessitate a good few changes to articles and tables and templates and stuff, but I think it would be worth it.
