Add Category Terminology Clarification - HELP! :)

Post by Samurai »

edit: OK FORGET THE POLL EVERYONE MAKE SUGGESTIONS AND WELL FIGURE IT OUT AND THEN IF NESC MAKE ANOTHER POLL LATER


ADDS

not hitting anything = trickless????
0+ = addless, effortless, limitless?? boundless?
1+ = trickless, effortless????

2+ = tiltless
3+ = guiltless
4+ = tripless
5+ = fearless
6+ = beastly
7+ = godly

I used to say trickless to mean 1+ adds but then I realized I was saying it to mean 0+ adds also.

I want names for 0+ and 1+ add shredding because I play like that a lot.
I'm feeling that trickless should be 0+ shouldnt it? because kicks are less of a trick than stalls.

0+ = trickless
1+ = ????

Its a good idea but dropless already refers to going dropless in a run - can't confuse it.

Wong suggested n00bness which i think is really funny and i thought of listless - but i think the right one will sound great for sURE!


edit what about

0+: effortless
1+: trickless
??

0+ addless
1+ zipless, or nixless

0+ cant be trickless, i know a lot of tricks that get no adds because they involve body movements that get no adds.

for instance frigid kick, it doesnt xbd, uns, bod, dex, symp, no adds, tough trick.

trickless sort of has to be in there because i dunno its been around for a while - addless is a decent suggestion - BUT EFFORTLESS OWNS YOU WOOOOO

Egoless = Any number of adds per run. No benchmarks.

example: toe stall > butterfly > mirage > pheonix > scorpion's tail > legover > drop

Playing Hacky Sack = 0 adds

Tempting = 1 adds

I think beastly and godly should be changed to something ending in "-less", to keep that flow.

i'm not too fond of the term trickless. There have been a couple circle kickers that I've kicked with that get kind of pissy when you do a couple tricks. footbag (not implying freestyle footbag :wink: ) is not just centered around tricks. trickless seems to imply that footbag is strictly about tricks which it is not.

[conflicting statement] but if you're looking at it from the "add" concept you are probably a freestyle footbagger and noticed that no tricks were performed [/end conflicting statement]

i think 0 being addless and 1 being nixless or zipless (both nix and zip mean zero, i.e. "zero"less!) makes more than enough sense.

ok so find another synonym for zero that sounds cool.

it should mean zeroless though

tiltless > no 1's (to tilt is to lose concentration)
guiltless > implies that a respectable shredder should feel guilty by going under this
tripless > "trip" 3... no 3's
fearless > "fear" 4... no 4's
beastly > comes from beast (6>6>6) combinations, 666 being the mark of the beast
godly > self explanitory.
