The space-animal Smash characters — Fox, Falco and Wolf — lumped together.

Chasing an offstage opponent with a relentless chain of aerials until they're dead.

Short hop, fast fall, L-cancel an aerial — the cleanest, laggiest-free way to throw an air move from the ground in Melee.

A backup fighter you keep ready for one specific bad matchup.

Jumping off an opponent's head — for extra height, an escape, or to start a combo.

Reading how your opponent gets up and punishing it before they can move.

The weak part of a move's hitbox — the one you don't want to hit with.

Excuses a player makes for losing — bad controller, lag, off day, you name it.

The part of a move's hitbox that hits hardest — the spot you actually want to land.
