Oh shit! That list make me feel old. I have never heard 80% of those names. If anyone brings up those names to me in a circle I am busting straight into a churney spin to show them whats really up.


Also the nicknaming of moves which are able to be hit/are rarely ever hit by only a few people is stupid. We have jobs system to describe hard to describe moves to people.
The nicknaming of moves is to save wasted typing or some tongue tied confusion. When you nickname a bunch of obscure, or rarely seen moves, that only adds confusion. Because, if someone sees it hit and says "Whoa what was that" and you give some weird nickname then they will still need a full explanation/jobs notation.

What is sailing? Also, blurry drifter could make a person think it would be a blur into a drifter. I do agree that blurry sounds cooler than stepping, but if you're going for simplicity...

I was gonna ask what a Terraging Pickup is called, but you guys would be against that. :P

Sailing is pixie atomic

Blurry drifter is very straight forward and to the point! If it was stepping drifter it would be tombstone.

Terraging Pickup is just that, terraging pickup.

I'd call that toe blurrier.

I agree with Jorden. I know longer even pay attention to move names beyond the components, and don't know or care about the names of any of the new moves people have hit in the last few years, although my housemates are fairly adamant that the next time I invent a new trick I name it "Dog's C*nt."

Well, okay, a friend of mine came close to this trick and I wanted to give him the nickname, if there is a nick for that move.
Toe Blurrier makes sense though.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Hi guys!

I've hit it yesterday just for fun and I was wondering what is this this trick called?

Clip(no plant)>duck [bod]>op clip[xbd][del]

So I mean I set the bag and I dont plant my starting foot until I stall the bag.

What do U guys think about this trick?

Spyro is when you plant your set foot after a gyro. I don't think it warrants its own name, but that's what it is.

The move you described pt just sounds like a ducking clipper where you don't plant. I don't think there's a name for this (unless you added a mirage or something to make it muted), just a different way to do it
