Sooo, talking about the different specific swings of Double Edge Dance (Roy's sideB) can be confusing at times. There isn't a real clear-cut way to say which combination of directions you're talking about other than stuff like "side up down side", which reads weird and isn't always really obvious. Especially stuff like talking about a specific swing can be weird ("DED swing fourth side" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue or convey your meaning very well).
The way that we got around this in the old Melee Roy boards (and how w currently talk about stuff in the PMBR) was by using an arrow naming convention. Rather than typing "DED swing side side up down", it would be "DED >>^V", with each arrow after the DED obviously signifying the direction of the next attack. So for example, DED >^> would be; first swing of sideB, second swing upwards, third swing sideways.
To talk specifically about one of the swings, you would denote which swing by putting "x"s before all of the swings in the sequence. So if I wanted to talk about the fourth side swing, I would say something like "DED xxx> is awesome because Roy jumps really far in a huge arc, and it has a bunch of knockback no matter what part of it you hit with."
Other examples;
Here would be DED >>V
This One would be DED >>^>
This Example would be DED >^>V
And for a specific swing example; Here, instead of ending the DED >^^ with xxx^, if FlashingFire had instead done xxx>, the larger start up and arc would have resulted in a true follow up after the xx^ meteor bounce.
We've had a good amount of success using this naming convention in the old boards and in the PMBR, so I hope you guys pick it up and start using it too!
