Talk:Spike

Okay, so I hate to be picky, but I must. The definition of a spike is an attack that sends the opponent down and which *cannot* be meteor-recovered. Falcon's dair is not a spike, neither is Samus dair. Not even Ganondorf's. The reason? The downwards trajectory can be cancelled by pressing "jump" or "up+b" at the right time. Once again, a spike cannot be meteored.

Few characters have spikes. In fact, there are 3. The rest may have "meteors" but not spikes.

To the best of my knowledge, there are 3 spike moves. 1) Falco's Dair. 2) Marth's Dair. 3) Ganondorf's Down+B

Note also that Spikes don't necessarily kill the opponent each time: at low damages the downwards thrust wears off and a character can recover. By 40 or so damage, though, this just isn't the case.

Yeah, i couldn't edit the top part for some reason. So my bad on typing this up here. --Firexemblemxpryde 00:47, March 26, 2007 (GMT)

Doesn't Young Link have a spike? When you hit the enemy with the hilt of your sword in D-air. It may not be very easy to execute but its a spike nonetheless.--DSMANIAC92 14:15, April 1, 2007 (GMT)

No, Young Link's dairspike can be cancelled. Eighteenspikes 04:35, April 8, 2007 (GMT)

Nipplespike? seriously? Uhmm.. the page wouldn't load on the thread, so I couldn't really see it.

Has this been verified?
