Definitions
1
An attack that launches the opponent straight down. The catch (in games with meteor cancelling, like Melee) is the victim can negate it with a precise jump or up-B, so a meteor smash isn't always the guaranteed kill a spike is.
“I meteor smashed him but he meteor cancelled and recovered, gutting.”

Whether a move is a 'spike' or a 'meteor' comes down to whether it can be cancelled.
“That down-air is a meteor smash, so they can still cancel it if their timing's clean.”
