I'm picking up Squirtle and I'm wanting to main him but I'm confused on the terms, such as

• Aqua Jet
• HydroPlane
• Withdraw
• ShellShift

So could anyone explain what all of these terms mean? Starting from the easy terms (not things like fair) to the technical stuff.

I had this issue yesterday, and just learned I cannot link until I have done 10 posts, but reddit[Dot]com/r/SSBPM/comments/2i4dz7/full_list_of_squirtle_techniques/ was very helpful to me.

OFFICIAL MOVE NAMES (Based on Pokemon moves):
  • Shellshift (Dash turnaround)
  • Withdraw (Side B)
  • Aqua Jet (Special version of side b when you collide with an enemy on startup)
LESS OFFICIAL DUMB MOVE NAMES (Advanced techniques based on this rule of thumb)
  • Hydro- prefix (Hydrograb, Hydropivot, Hydroplane): Hydro is a prefix for any move that's done while sliding as a result of shellshift momentum. (Hydro grab, a grab while sliding) or (Hydroplane upsmash, an upsmash while sliding)
  • Sling Prefix / Suffix (Slingjump, wavesling, shellsling): Any advanced technique involving momentum from a shellshift with no attacks (Slingjump, a quick jump with shellshift momentum) or (Wavesling, a super long wavedash using shellshift momentum)
MOVE NAMES I MADE UP (BECAUSE I'M THE BEST SQUIRTMAN):
  • HYDROREST (A MORE SWAGGIN WAY OF SAYING AQUA JET)
  • HYDROSWAG (THE GLORIOUS SHADES B) )
Hope that helped :)

No. We're getting rid of that sling crap. It's just a RAR swooty
