Hyphen-Smashing...only thing I don't quite get yet

[FS Fantom]

I was watching the Squirtle vid Tobias put up (Shellshifting/SWD) and he mentioned hyphen-smashing.

I think I may have overlooked this tech when I was reading the compilation thread, so what exactly does it consist of?

 

[brawlmaniac]

What's hyphen smashing? i haven't heard of it either..

 

[Ced The Lad]

Dash into an upsmash I believe.

 

[Brainiac_man]

Yeah, dash-->C-stick smash

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

It's just a dash>U-smash. It's the equivilant to a JC U-smash in Melee.

 

[err]

yea ITS A RUNNING UPSMASH

can we quit finding the LAMEST ****ing names for game mechanics please?

Its a running upsmash! not that ****ing hard

[fireb0rn]

i wonder what exactly this running upsmash has to do with a hyphen, anyways

 

[MegaFEAR]

Yea hyphen smashing sounds ********...
Probably some over-egotistic kid who first found it
I also vote for running upasmash

 

[killbeast301]

rus=running upsmash

^^ Thats all it is. Hyphen Smashing was just a made up term as they were finding techniques for Brawl.

 

[FS Fantom]

That's all that is?

I figured that out the first day I played the game >_>

Why would they bother with such a pointless name?

 

[Terrorcon Blot]

Clearly you've new to Smashboards. EVERYTHING has to have a stupid name.

 

[memphischains]

lol this thread puts the whole community into perspective

 

[Mr. M]

I've been doing that since Super Smash 64. I think I have the right to give it a stupid name.

Recover Smash! Because it makes no sense.

Hmm. Hyphen smash:

- smash

Maybe the hyphen symbolizes motion. You know, like when cartoon characters run, there are lines that trail behind them. This hyphen represents the running, and the smash is the verb. Thus, hyphen smash = running smash, symbolically.

I agree, that's a really superfluous way to name a running smash.

 

[That_Move_is_Key]

on the name: running = dash, and dash is another name for hyphen. the namer just thought hyphen sounded alot better than anything else like dash smash, etc.

Wow, that makes complete sense. Thank you.

 

[FS Fantom]

WTF is this thread still doing around, lol?

 

[courte]

sorry to bring up old ish

but i though hyphen smashing was specifically a dash ATTACK into an upsmash via the c-stick

something that cannot be done with the basic attack button, and a combination of both attack
just asking because im not sure

as a TL, i've been trying to see if these video i've been watching feature him boost smashing, hyphen dashing, or simply doing a running upsmash

Is this the Sliding Up-Smash(like Mortar Slide) or the Dash -> Lagless Up-Smash glitch that Falco can do(I'm not sure if others can do it)
