The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

This page should be retitled to "Special Canceling" since that is the most well used term for this mechanic and is the name of the mechanic in both Street Fighter and SNK fighting games. I believe this would be easier to find with that renaming.

Support, speaking as someone who heavily supported Terry's early metagame through SmashCords. I always heard Special cancel, never saw "move" amongst it, and if it's still that way now, then this change is a no-brainer. --PlagueSigImage.pngPlague von KarmaPlagueSigImage.png 07:25, May 23, 2023 (EDT)

Oppose, special move canceling is a more descriptive term. Special canceling can mean multiple things in the series, so simply calling it that can cause confusion.The Other Jared (talk) 12:55, November 29, 2023 (EST)

Support, I've only heard the term as Special canceling. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 13:08, November 29, 2023 (EST)

Support; definitely the only way I've heard it called. I don't think "Special canceling can mean multiple things in the series" is accurate? Taco Bell (talk) 13:22, November 29, 2023 (EST)
