Talk:Momentum canceling

Similarity to Teching

I think this page should be deleted; the concept is very similar to teching. I'm not going to do it cuz I usually get in trouble, but if anyone agrees with me, I think it should be deleted.Solid Snack 01:34, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I thought momentum canceling was where you canceled your momentum via an aerial? Shade487z 01:21, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

True, but he stated that it was done via an air dodge, therefore it is identical to teching overall.Solid Snack 01:34, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Air dodging along an object ≠ wall tech. This stays, at least for now. Miles (talk) 02:10, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

If it helps, I was playing friendlies with my friend and instead of being knocked out by Fox's F-smash, I tripped and fell. I was pressing the shield button too... Blue Ninjakoopa 02:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok, just clarifying.Solid Snack 02:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Stub Removal

I removed the stub on this page since I added both the Vertical and Horizontal Momentum canceling charts. I also gave more information on momentum canceling in the paragraphs preceding the charts. Omega Tyrant (talk) 12:26, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Name Change

Shouldn't this technique and article be called "Momentum Negation"? Only in the case of DK's Spinning Kong and Game & Watch's Oil Panic is there truly momentum canceling. With other methods, players are just negating momentum, not canceling it. Omega Tyrant 10:55, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't really matter what it "should" be called, since this is what people call it, and there's no known official term. Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy 11:51, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
