Editing Talk:Recovery

Why does this need to be its own article? It's basically just the vertical equivalent of [[Maximum Recovery]]. And what are you talking about, "just one move"? There's already a huge list. And why did you revert my note about Lucas? - [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] ([[User talk:Gargomon251|talk]]) 11:57, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to know why this is called "Wonder Height Recoveries". --<font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|RJM]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 18:50, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

...on second thought, I like the page (not the name though. It was on short notice). I had noticed how certain Up-B's and other moves all brought characters to a specific and all time high height. I listed them all here. I think its useful...oh, and I didn't know what you were talking about in the Lucas one. Now I do :P. Sorry.--[[User:Oxico|Oxico]] ([[User talk:Oxico|talk]]) 23:25, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

mm, i would love to have dedede's on here, but last i checked, luigi's and dedede's were not confirmed as wonder height recoveries... [[User:Kperfekt722|Kperfekt722]] ([[User talk:Kperfekt722|talk]]) 02:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


What is the point of this page?  It and maximum recovery seem to be the same thing.  Unless there was a dojo update that I missed, this just seems like a personal nickname for a pretty arbitrary thing.

== Merge ==

Why was the page renamed, yet not merged with the Recovery page? '''[[User:Silverdragon706|FyreNWater]]''' -  <small>([[User talk:Silverdragon706|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Silverdragon706|Contributions]] )</small> 22:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Ohhhhhh no you don't. Don't merge this with recovery. Would you merge "Falcon Punch" with "Special Move"? [[User:Runer5h|Runer5h]] ([[User talk:Runer5h|talk]]) 22:37, 6 August 2008 (UTC)Runer5h
:Of course not, those are two different things.  These aren't.  Rita's right, these are just ways of performing a recovery, which isn't necessarily an up special (or even a special move for that matter).  As for why it was moved and merged with [[recovery]], it was just merged with the even more unnecessary "Wonder Hight Recovery."

::It should actually be ''moved'' to [Recovery (SSBB)]] and then the [[Recovery]] article should have comments about recovery ''in general'' as it applies to the three games, as well as links to [Recovery (SSBB)]], [Recovery (SSBM)]] and [Recovery (SSB)]]. --<font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|RJM]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 20:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

== Survival techniques ==

I feel that this article needs to include some kind of list of techniques that can help the character survive for longer (such as [[crouch cancel]] or [[DI]]). Anyone else? – [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]]<sub>[[user talk:Smiddle|T]]</sub> 09:17, 13 February 2011 (EST)

==[[Down air stall]]==
What of this [[down air stall | technique]] and others like it that increase recovery? Are they considered to situational? [[Special:Contributions/71.189.12.30|71.189.12.30]] 01:11, 7 October 2013 (EDT)

:Yea, since that technique depends on your opponent being dumb and helping you, it is situational. No way this is going to save your life in tournament. In fact why would this be a recovery technique since you probably wont be offstage when you can use it? --<span style="background-color:#6d84e1;border:3px solid silver">[[User:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:silver">'''Brian'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:black">Don't try me!</span>]]</sup>[[File:Falco.gif|link=|27px]]</span> 01:18, 7 October 2013 (EDT)
::It's situational, but it can definitely be used to [http://youtu.be/BnRmDoJm0VI?t=33s help].

:::::I tried the technique myself and you can get into a good rhythm of using it, albeit it might take a little bit.

:::::::... I don't know who you're talking about but it is confirmed that this technique assists with horizontal recovery and can be executed when horizontally launched so I say it should be added to the article for any and all characters that are capable of executing it.

Let me make myself more clear: I am looking for a person who can provide me frame data that tells me exactly what the conditions are to activate the glitch. This will allow me to test whether or not the glitch can be done consistently on demand. From what it seems, down air stall can't be activated consistently. People who play professionally don't use this to recover at all. Hence that's why i claimed the technique too situational to be listed.--<span style="background-color:#6d84e1;border:3px solid silver">[[User:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:silver">'''Brian'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:black">Don't try me!</span>]]</sup>[[File:Falco.gif|link=|27px]]</span> 00:38, 10 October 2013 (EDT)
:Correct me if I am wrong, but that seems to be more of a question for the down air stall page itself. I understand your concern of its consistancy, but it has been shown to work when it is need and I myself have performed the glitch successfully. So despite possible failure, I regard it fitting for a page that is supposed to contain all ways to recover to the stage. [[Special:Contributions/71.165.100.9|71.165.100.9]] 00:45, 10 October 2013 (EDT)
::The possibility of failure seems high though. It may work when you need it once, but more often than not it won't work and when you need it and go for it you'll plummet to death. We shouldn't list this as we should only list things that are proven to be reliable and fail safe. Smashwiki has a bad rep for listing poor, inaccurate, or useless information like labeling this glitch as something you can rely on. We need to change that.--<span style="background-color:#6d84e1;border:3px solid silver">[[User:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:silver">'''Brian'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:black">Don't try me!</span>]]</sup>[[File:Falco.gif|link=|27px]]</span> 00:51, 10 October 2013 (EDT)
:::I am sorry, but I do not have the information you require. All I can say is my personal experience when using the glitch. I have not used it enough to judge whether it is consistant or not. All can say is what it seems to be true of the glitch. I guess we need somebody else to join this talk page to provide this information. As you requested earlier.

Hello... could somebody please add to the conversation? [[Special:Contributions/71.165.100.9|71.165.100.9]] 20:44, 10 October 2013 (EDT)
:I still say this should be added to the page for its usefulness despite the fact that it is not really noticed by most players. Sure it comes with risk, but so do other great techniques such as double jump canceling. Even if it is judged too risky, this page should acknowledge the glitch's existence and who can perform it. If it really is a concern we could just put in a footnote about its risk. Are there any objections? [[Special:Contributions/96.229.195.73|96.229.195.73]] 23:51, 11 October 2013 (EDT)
::Given Brawl's floaty *** physics, the technique is of only moderate help and the risk is too high to merit use. Professional players would never risk losing a stock for a glitch not known to be consistent and neither should you. And your comparison of examples is flawed. Double Jump Canceling has low risks even when used improperly and DJC is a staple technique to characters who have it whereas the stall glitch is not. Again, I'll reiterate the fact that Smash Wiki has a poor reputation in the Smash Community for citing incorrect information such as labeling an inconsistent glitch as a reliable recovery technique.--<span style="background-color:#6d84e1;border:3px solid silver">[[User:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:silver">'''Brian'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:black">Don't try me!</span>]]</sup>[[File:Falco.gif|link=|27px]]</span> 00:25, 12 October 2013 (EDT)
:::If it really is that much of a concern, we could, as I said before, warn of the dangers of the glitch and just give a passing mention of it and it's potential. [[Special:Contributions/96.229.195.73|96.229.195.73]] 00:30, 12 October 2013 (EDT)
::::::But you haven't refuted my original point: the risk is far far greater than the reward. I don't want this wiki feeding naive players incorrect information such as encouraging them to go for something way to risky such as this. If anything the wiki should ''discourage'' use of the technique since you will SD more times than successfully use the glitch. Do you want to tell people how to lose? If you want to change my opinion on this discussing, find me proof that the glitch can be done consistently for recovery. No, personal experience doesn't cut it since a random (most likely not competitive) player is not a reliable witness. Acceptable proof would be a technical description (using frame data) of the glitch or having the word of a well known player supporting its use. --<span style="background-color:#6d84e1;border:3px solid silver">[[User:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:silver">'''Brian'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:black">Don't try me!</span>]]</sup>[[File:Falco.gif|link=|27px]]</span> 00:35, 12 October 2013 (EDT)

== Ness's PK Thunder in Smash 4 ==

I realize [https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/771D9592771127998398008819712_281534fc304.5.1.14950578386041677221.mp4?versionId=MXmOOxP87v5nmnmHegcr_H6ZLONBcgjJ this] is valid proof, BUT...I remember playing a match and watching someone fail to recover after ramming into a wall with PK Thunder. Could the video be from an earlier version of the game?

:From what I understand (as someone who doesn't main Ness in SSB4), I believe the wall has to be hit at a certain angle for the helpless animation to be cancelled. I'm not totally clear on the all the details, though.

:The helpless animation is always cancelled temporarily, but depending on the angle Ness hits the wall with, he may rebound differently. Generally, if he doesn't ram straight into the wall, he's going to be stuck next to the wall and will most likely become helpless, especially if he's trapped in a corner where he can't activate his Up-B again.

== Table format? ==

The table format for this page is pretty clunky visually and has a lot of wasted space for Brawl/SSB4 newcomers and the like. Would it be beneficial or not to move the text to a more standard prose layout as opposed to using a table?

::Honestly, on multiple occasions I have thought "I would edit this page if I didn't hate the format so much". Yes, let us please change it.
