Talk:Semi-spike

Clean Up Tag

I removed the clean up tag since the information is organized and I added the only other semi-spikes not noted on the page before that I could find through my testing. Omega Tyrant 01:05, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Mario Bros. Pseudo-Spike

Is this semi-spike legit? If so, which SSB game is it in and does it even deserve its own section? There are much more notable semi-spikes such as Sheik's fair or Ganondorf's uair and they don't have their own section in this article. On a final note, the description of it sounds more like a meteor smash or spike. Omega Tyrant 01:14, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

That Blue Pie Chart

Moves that hit upwards at the given angle are semi-spikes? I thought it had to be downward to be a semi-spike. MtnDewholic 9000File:PokemonSymbol.png 19:39, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Because of gravity, even a 30-degree angle can be considered a semi-spike if players use it as one. That said, the chart is based on a sort of unofficial plot of what players consider to be semi-spikes (some attacks are considered semi-splies even though they have higher angles, and some attacks with lower angles are never called semi-spikes); the term is very poorly defined and misused.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's poorly defined and misused. While on paper the higher angles don't like they fit the definition, in practise they do (as in, an attack that hits with mostly horizontal knockback without DI where gravity drags the character down to the stage line or below). As for the attacks that hit lower, they're called meteor smashes or spikes. Omega Tyrant 22:01, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Opinions? I'll support as I think it'd be much more organized, pretty much. Scr7(talk · contribs) 11:56, 14 November 2013 (EST)
