what is a scorpions tail when u dont plant ur clipper foot?

hacksterbator · Post by **hacksterbator** » 15 Jan 2004 09:58

it's a spinning double down, so you do plant your clipper foot.

HackingGanesh · Post by **HackingGanesh** » 15 Jan 2004 10:08

He's asking what it would be called if you dont plant. I'm pretty sure its the same trick, just more styly.

technically if you never plant your clipper foot on a scorpians tail, its spining symp double down, aka superduperfly

I would kill to be able to hit just one, that move is so sick. Bah I have a tough time with consecutive spinning clippers.

jhibbs, it is spinning symposium barfly, not double down.

And yes, symposium version (not planting the clipper foot) is called superduperfly.

I think what people have (and/or should have) started doing is just looking at which leg does the set and which does the final delay. Thus, Scorpian's Tail is a clipper > same. clipper "double down dex" move with a spin -- Spinning Down Double (not Barfly). I think that this type of explanation / naming system makes things a bit more clear.

Edit: Oops -- please ignore all my early morning posts ;-\

well, technically then, isnt it a spinning down double down?

qphox · Post by **qphox** » 16 Jan 2004 07:38

YES.

I don't know why people still insist on saying paradon or down-double down or barfly if there's a previous component involved.

Like, if I said Spinning Down-Double-Down. What is that? It can't be a Bullwhip, because that's Gyro. It can't be Scorpion's tail, because it's supposedly same side.

So why then, is it okay to say, "Spinning Barfly" and not "Spinning Double Down"? Are you saying the second isn't clear enough? There is nothing unclear about it!

guh.

Sergey · Post by **Sergey** » 16 Jan 2004 09:16

Yea, but when you hit scorpiont tail, you have 2 OP side dexes, right? But in DDD there are only 2 same side dexes. For this reason you cannot call scorpions tail spinning DDD. And Bullwhip = spinning DDD

jhibbs · Post by **jhibbs** » 16 Jan 2004 09:50

notice i said "double down" as a generic term to avoid all this horseshit, but alas it did not matter :p

Rob · Post by **Rob** » 16 Jan 2004 10:27

Alright...

down double down = clip>op out>same out>op clip
scorpions tail= clip>spin(back)>op out>same out>op clip

It's the exact same trick with a spin. It's a spinning down double down. Not a barfly. Get it? Got it? Good!
