Hello, Smashboards member/lurker!
Welcome to the Melee ELi5 (Explain Like i'm 5) Thread.
In this thread, the goal is to define or explain the large vocabulary in the Super Smash Bros. scene (specifically Melee) as if our audience was five years old! (Credit to the subreddit /r/explainlikeimfive) The general rule of thumb is, if it takes a wall of text to explain, then you're being too complex for the five year old brain! (Ha, that rhymed.) Make it as serious or as funny as you want to be, but just make sure it is accurate or we (the community) will correct you! :D
I will continuously edit this page to include all of our defined terms and I will be sure to give credit where credit is due!
Note: If you feel like you can explain a term to a five year old better than someone else did, let us know and depending on your definition, i'll add it to the list!
Let's begin! I'll start.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Terms (In alphabetical order):
Salty: When someone gets mad because they are bad. (Credit: CeeLew)
Short Hop: A short fast jump (Credit: 20YY SS | Saiblade)
Techskill: Being able to hit buttons really fast when you need to. (Credit: CeeLew)
Tournament Winner: Using the jump option from the ledge. It's a free win for the opponent because it's really easy to punish. (Credit: Ultimate Dew)
Wavedash: Jumping, then quickly air-dodging into the ground, resulting in a short 'dash'. (Credit: FurySSBM)
Characters (In alphabetical order):
Bowser: How to play against Sheik -> cry, L R A start (Credit: J$)
Peach: How to play -> Hit both sticks down (Credit: EPsilon933)
