Since the finder probably doesn't like the debate of a name in his topic, this was made to debate the name of metaknight's infinite cape. There are three possible names for this technique. They are IDC (infinite dimensional cape,) vanishing, and ghosting.This is where the name will be debated, unless the creator says so otherwise. YOUR VOTE WILL NOT BE COUNTED IF YOU DO NOT GIVE REASONS. OPINIONS NOT ACCEPTED, no reasoning like is just awesome, because it's cool etc.

okay so here's the score
IDC-0
D.I.C.K-1
ghosting-1

ghosting

good description, no problems with the name (sex kick, anybody?), sensible, gives people one less excuse to call MK a ****.

D.I.C.K.

samdaballer: wavedashing wasn't as much of an insult to the skill of your opponent as this is. Therefore, D.I.C.K. is still quite apt.

well, there is a very high chance of it being banned, so we won't see much talk of D.I.C.K. or ghosting regardless, and sex kick is not an insult to the skill of your opponent neither

No mod has yet announced any reservations against D.I.C.K.

Until such time, if ever, a mod tells us we have to rename it, I vote for calling it D.I.C.K. **** is a common given name, too, so it cannot be auto-censored.

although D.I.C.K is my personal favorite I don't think the technique is that worthy of it I think Ghosting is better. Example your at a tournament and someone goes " Oh! you just got ******" what are you going to think ? The most obvious thought is maybe the guy got shadow looped off. However same situation with ghosting as the name. "Omg wtf happend ooh that guy is ghosting".

1 + for ghosting.

Since the finder probably doesn't like the debate of a name in his topic, this was made to debate the name of metaknight's infinite cape. There are three possible names for this technique. They are IDC (infinite dimensional cape) D.I.C.K (Dimensional infinte cape of the knight) and finally ghosting. D.I.C.K is the most commonly used name, but it has the threat of getting the topic modded, as some have pointed out. This is where the name will be debated, unless the creator says so otherwise. YOUR VOTE WILL NOT BE COUNTED IF YOU DO NOT GIVE REASONS. OPINIONS NOT ACCEPTED, no reasoning like is just awesome, because it's cool etc.
Was he actually the creator? I could have sworn he said some Japanese ppl found out and etc. And he just so happened to tell everyone here on the boards. Isn't that what he said?
If I can recall he siad that he wanted to give credit to the Japanese for showing him a vid and himself for posting it on the boards. Calling him the founder is a statement you have to think about.
But Im up for calling it Ghostly D.I.C.K. lol

Sex kicks are sex kicks because they're sexy. D.I.C.K. is D.I.C.K., because people who do it are Richards.

^You can also say "That guy is D.I.C.King"
Point blank if we called it D.I.C.K. I wouldn't mind being banned from a tournament because I stalled over the time limit just so I can hear someone say he's D.I.C.K.ing, he's D.I.C.K.ing over the time limit lol I'd rather we have it be called Ghosting or Ghostly so at least we would have something shorter and more appropriate to say lol.

I vote that we either stick to Infinite Dimensional Cape (IDC), or name it Dimensional Cape Infinite (DCI).

Naming it D.I.C.K is absurd, and ghosting isn't bad, but I don't prefer it.

I vote IDC cause it makes so much more sense than Dimensional infinte cape of the knight? and ghosting just doesn't fit

Please enlighten us with your logic behind that.lol
there are more meta knight haters than meta knight mains.some meta knight mains want to call it ghosting and some want to call it D.I.C.K.almost all meta knight haters and none mains want to call it D.I.C.K or at least thats what i have seen.

tl;dr:its not an acronym.

yes, but D.I.C.K is made to be an innuendo/humorous joke. the name richard is not made for humor, unless someone legally changes their last name to head or head in any other language before naming them >_>

Most non MK mains would like to see the technique named "D.I.C.K." because it'll give them an excuse to call MK a "D.I.C.K.", because people already hate Meta Knight. They'll just abuse the acronym.

kayzee understands what I'm trying to get at, it may be humorous at first, but nothing stays funny forever, in fact it will just be abused it to *insert place far away from earth*

I vote for IDC. The acronyme is rude and the other - I think - does not fit Meta Knight.

D.I.C.K will ultimitely degenerate to where MK is just called the technique, and if yoiu want metaknight to have a respectable name, go with IDC or ghosting

I second that. The wording of D.I.C.K. sounds forced and clumsy, not to mention the fact that it seems a weak childish joke.

Ghosting sounds a lot more viable, and it's actually relevant to the technique used. So that's where my vote lies. ;)

you can call it whatever you want at home, but this will determine what the technique is called on message boards and at tournaments
