Thankyou.To no offense but, not only are you totally wrong about there being no Spikes but, your idea is plainly stupid.
First off I will name some spikes.

There probably are more but you get the point, most of these will work at around 20%.
With a 100% chance of K.O.ing someone.
Of course, sweetspotting and whatnot.
And even in Melee, below 20% most spikes could be recovered from.
So, this here refute your claim of no spikes, and I refute your potition.
Yeah, though good history lesson on the name.I played and still play SSB64 and I never call them meteor smashes in that. It's not like when someone uses 'spike' the other person will get the wrong idea like some things. If you say to someone who's just began playing the game something along the lines of "did you see that spike?!", they'll know what you mean.
Good luck changing the use of such a widely used term. Especially since it's a term that has nothing wrong with it.
i know, if i posted talk about total freakout on the word noobImagine what people would say if Yuna didn't have a blue name and 7,000 posts.
i lol' dBowser has spikes in Brawl.
And why couldn't that term [Spike] replace MS? Seeing as the former doesn't mean anything if we take Brawl as a standalone. Pretty much everyone agrees that Spike is used because its more convenient.There are no Spikes in Brawl. Only Meteor Smashes. There's absolutely no reason to cling onto a term for something that's not even in the game anymore to describe a type of attack which has an actual name.
Sure they are the same thing. Why would the definition of a spike in Brawl be "a meteor smash that cannot be cancelled" if such a thing does not exist. That would be like me saying "You can't call the thing in Super Mario Bros. that throws spinys a 'Cloud.' It is called Lakitu. Cloud is the main character of Final Fantasy 7 and he does not throw spinys. There is no one named Cloud in Super Mario Bros." What the hell does the definition of "Cloud" in Final Fantasy 7 have to do with a Mario game? They are two separate games, therefore they are allowed to use the name "Cloud" in different ways without confusing the players. Who would actually think when someone calls a Lakitu "Cloud" in a Mario game that they are talking about Cloud from FF7. Similarly who would think that when someone says "spike" in Brawl, that they mean a "non-cancelable meteor smash". Those aren't in Brawl just like Cloud isn't in Mario games, so no one will use that definition. They will use the logical definition which is a downward sending attack aka Meteor Smash.Yes, but tech and ukemi are the same thing; we just prefer calling it "tech." However, spikes and meteor smashes are NOT the same thing. Therefore, we can't call it either.
Lol. Clever.Bowser has spikes in Brawl.
does it really matter that much?In SSB64, there was no Meteor Canceling. But there were still Meteor Smashes. For Melee, Meteor Canceling was added. Certain Meteor Smashes could be Meteor Canceled.
But the community didn't want to have to say "Non-cancellable Meteor Smash" when referring to Meteor Smashes that could not be canceled so the term "Spike" was invented. This term was entirely made up by the community and has no basis in the game itself, but that's not the point here. Soon, people equated all Meteor Smashes to Spikes and the term "Spike" started being used even for the MS:es that could be MSC:ed.
The point is that in Brawl all Meteor Smashes can be Meteor Canceled. The term "Spike" has now become obsolete. There are no Spikes in Brawl. Only Meteor Smashes. There's absolutely no reason to cling onto a term for something that's not even in the game anymore to describe a type of attack which has an actual name.
So I petition the community to please stop using the term Spike, as there are people who will mistakingly think that because the term "Spike" is used, it means it cannot be MSC:ed.
also, i say we adopt this methodPft, this does not even concern me.
I don't even use the "terms" you guys use.
Sheiks chain is "tentacle ****."
Falcons Knee is "Justice Knee."
Ganon's choke is "wife beater."
Everything Ness does is PK StahSTAAAAAAHHHHMMM.
I refer to meteors as "CHARLEH BROWN!!!"
Samus shoots a kamahameha.
Lucario shoots a hadouken.
Short hop is partial jump.
Fast fall is "lead foot."
Twist attacks are "twizzlers."
Combos are "tootsie rolls."
Sidesteps are "p*ssyfootin'."
C-stick "C*ntsmashin."
Ganon's Dair is "senile stomp."
Kirbys suplex is "victim."
etc etc etc.
Something along the lines of, "Wtf ur noob...spikes r awsome cuz it hits them down to the under line and die fast i bet i culd beat u on wifi easy noob"Imagine what people would say if Yuna didn't have a blue name and 7,000 posts.
You might not ever be coming back then. ;PI'm probaly leaving these boards until people start using meteor smash. This is a whole problem that's making me consider quiting the internet completely.
Further, the term Meteor Smash no longer has any basis in the game from the best I can tell. Looking through the instruction book and then the trophy gallery revealed no references to the term; I recall Melee had some references to meteors in the trophy gallery, but nothing here, nothing in the instructions, and nothing in the in game "how to play" video.
