| I vote '''delete'''. The very first comment on this page states that we should have an article on how kirby holds items because we don't know how. I have a few questions too. How does link have his bombs inside his shirt? Why don't people die immediately when they get hit by an arrow? Does Luigi get concussions from hitting a wall w/ his green missile? Oh and also a lot of games have double jumps, but we don't care.

| :How do we know it's a platform? Yes, the special effect looks somewhat like a platform. But it could be a gust of air for all we know. And a good deal of double jump animations don't look like the character is jumping off something. Besides, if we explained double jumps by saying there's an invisible platform, we then have to explain where this platform comes form. | | :How do we know it's a platform?

| ::::::::::::Excuse the long delay in response, I got caught up in other things this weekend.
| |
|
| |
| ::::::::::::Anyway, "midair jump" is objectively superior, because ''it fully and accurately describes what the action is'' (being a jump in '''midair'''), while "double jump" insinuates that it's the second jump the character performs in succession, which is not the case and can be downright inaccurate (being that characters don't need to perform the first jump to perform it, and the fact there are multiple characters with multiple midair jumps). It really doesn't get more simple than that. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 12:07, 13 January 2014 (EST)
| |
| :::::::::::::"Double jump" also "fully and accurately describes what the action is" if you've ever played any video game with the action ever before. Language evolves to suit usage, not the other way around (as sad as that is, it's still true).
| |
| :::::::::::::Green Mario: The majority of arguments involving something like "it's how we've always done it, so don't change it" don't really address the debate itself unless it can be demonstrated that there's an advantage in leaving things unchanged. In this case, I believe I have sufficiently demonstrated that the two terms are functionally identical to our target audience, one of the two terms has an extreme edge in common usage, and the effort required to make the change would be minimal; I believe this outstrips any minor advantage in not changing it.

| |
| ::::::::::::::Other video games may use the term, but again, other games are irrelevant, and it simply does not work that way for Smash. Quite frankly, other games should follow the Smash's term usage and start calling them "midair jumps", unless they're explicitly the second jump the character performs.
| |
|
| |
| ::::::::::::::I can't explain it any simpler than I already have; "midair jump" implies a jump in midair, "double jump" implies the second jump in succession, and the technique here is quite certainly the former, especially for characters with multiple midair jumps. Why are you being dense about this?
| |
|
| |
| ::::::::::::::What makes a name the best name for a technique? ''A simple and intuitive name that fully describes the action as best as possible and that people can readily understand.'' An example of a good technique name would be pivot grab (a grab you perform while turning around). What is this technique? "A jump you perform in '''midair'''", not "the second jump you perform". And again, the characters with multiple jumps, it does not make any sense to say Kirby has "five double jumps" instead of "five midair jumps".
| |
|
| |
| ::::::::::::::I hate to keep repeating arguments, but you're not refuting them, and instead just keep going back to an [http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-popularity.html appeal to popularity]. When we use the common term, it's when the official term is near nonexistent in usage, and when the official term is decidedly inferior/more complicated/unintuitive. Here, midair jump is not pretty much unknown and never used like ukemi and prat falling are, nor is it an inferior/more complicated/unintuitive name (which as I shown over and over, is the opposite).
| |

| ::::::::::::::"''The majority of arguments involving something like "it's how we've always done it, so don't change it" don't really address the debate itself unless it can be demonstrated that there's an advantage in leaving things unchanged.''"
| |
|
| |
| ::::::::::::::There's need to be a greater demonstrateable advantage to changing things. Quite simply, your case to change "midair jump" to "double jump" is not strong, when your entire argument is an appeal to popularity. You're not showing any actual advantage is using "double jump" to "midair jump" except that "more smashers and games use it", when I demonstrated ''repeatedly'' on how midair jump is the better term for us to use and does not leave people feeling "unfamiliar", especially for encyclopedic purposes (again, saying "Kirby has five double jumps" is just plain stupid). <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 12:57, 14 January 2014 (EST)
| |
| :::::::::::::::You didn't even get the fallacy right; it's [http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-common-practice.html appearl to common practice], not appeal to popularity. Though I guess you can say it's both, since "double jump" is both the popular choice and the common practice.
| |
| :::::::::::::::That aside, if you're going to say my argument is fallacious, then look at your own. Your fundamental argument is "it's a better name". [http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-authority.html Who decides what's a better name]? We have no authority to decide on what's "better", '''we report on what people use'''. [[SW:OFFICIAL]] spells it out: '''Do use the name that is most commonly accepted. If two terms are equally used, be consistent.''' It is blatantly clear that one term vastly overpowers the other in usage in both the Smash Bros. community and in gaming in general. I don't particularily care whether it's "right", "wrong", "more correct", or whatever. I care that we follow our own damn rules.

| |
| :::::::::::::::Oh yeah one other thing I forgot to note. Look at the page history and you'll see that this was originally at "double jump", but was then moved to "midair jump" explicitly because that was the official name from the DOJO!!, which quite obviously is the exact opposite of what the policy says to do and probably only happened because the policy didn't exist at the time. So no, this is not a battle between two unofficial terms, it is between an official one and a more widely-used unofficial one (hey, where have we seen that before?).

| ::::::::::::::::Rules don't always get the final say. Sometimes, common sense triumphs. '''I''' care when it's correct rather than misleading. As Omega Tyrant continues to assert, "Quite simply, your case to change "midair jump" to "double jump" is not strong, when your entire argument is an appeal to popularity." and that's all I'm seeing in your arguments.

| <small>(resetting indent)</small> To take a different angle on this whole shabang, compare "midair jump" vs "double jump" to "ukemi" vs "tech". Both pairs are an unpopular official term that is more semantically valid versus a widely-used unofficial term common to several other games and used as the base for several technique names (like "edgetech" or "double jump cancel"). To someone who knows nothing of Smash Bros., "midair jump" and "double jump" are equally meaningful, while "ukemi" and "tech" are equally meaningless. The only difference is that this page was moved to the official term with nothing but "it's official" as justification (and was somehow ignored or forgotten about even after SW:OFFICIAL came to pass), whereas "tech" has been firmly rooted as the primary for our entire existence even without SW:OFFICIAL (as far as I'm aware). How is this move any different than a theoretical moving of "ukemi" to "tech"?

| <br />Just to throw my thoughts in... I do believe "double jump" is more relatable and easier to say compared to "midair jump", despite being technically wrong for reasons stated above. Don't get me wrong here: midair jump sounds better to me because it is proper (and I am proper as you'll see soon). This case to me is just like how many people use palette swap (or people using recolor as a term for an outfit) for '''altered textures on 3D models of all things.''' I don't approve of that at all and I honestly cringe hearing people use those words interchangeably. Calling an outfit by a specific color like Falco's green outfit/color is not what bothers me; it is people using terminology for 2D graphics for 3D, and oftentimes poorly at that. It is not my place to change such terms used universally on here however, so I don't.<br />
| |
| Back on subject: It's not that big of a deal because a double jump's general definition in video games is the jump in mid-air. We should still be wary of how we use such a term for characters discernibly. Because [[SW:OFFICIAL|Smash Wiki says it is not official]], there is no reason to let this affect our personal vocabulary for the game.

| |
| I OPPOSE. Because midair jump includes all characters that can jump more than two times. Plus, midair jump seems to fit more than double jump. [[User:Smashdude10|Smashdude10]] ([[User talk:Smashdude10|talk]]) 19:58, 12 February 2014 (EST)

There is no advantage to keeping this titled as a term that can be proven is inferior in usage, which is explicitly the metric to how we name such pages.

| Still in '''support''' of moving to double jump. Nobody says "midair jump." You literally hear people say "Jigglypuff's third double jump." Wikis are based on the language used, not what should be technically used because it's more correct. I.e., a wiki is a derivative of the culture it documents, not the other way around. Double jump is the term used. Midair jump is also correct but never really heard. [[User:Ryxis|Ryxis]] ([[User talk:Ryxis|talk]]) 20:49, 2 March 2014 (EST)

| '''Support''' for moving to Double Jump. Like Toomai and Ryxis said, its the more common term to use and Midair Jump is the lesser used one. I think quantity is better than quality this time.

| |
| :In most core Mario games, the terms "double jump" and "triple jump" are used to refer to "when you land on the ground, jump again to go higher", as opposed to "jump while in the air", which I don't think anyone playable other than Yoshi has ever been capable of doing (aside from gimmicks like the Cosmic Spin).
