just FYI just cus your main isn't a gliding character doesn't mean you don't play one.

I strongly support PPKA. Glair reminds me of people glaring at eachother XD

PPKA is epic

lol at non glide attack mains trying to name a move they dont have
yeah pits call it glair.
LMFAO. Ignorance <3.

And once more:

just FYI just cus your main isn't a gliding character doesn't mean you don't play one.
That, AND the fact that just because someone doesn't have Pit or Charizard or MK in their sig and they're little icon by their Name doesn't mean that they don't play those characters.


FYI, I play Mario, CF, Olimar, Rob, Lucario, PT, Toon Link, etc.

Why are we pulling random animal names for this attack? I vote for it to be changed to:

WALA (attack)

Wombat (mk, he's round and has bat wings)

Angel/Annoying (pit, self explanatory)

Lizard ('Zard)

Attack

I always read GA as a g sound infront of the letter a, so I comes out as Gay.

I think Glair sounds the best.

Because correcting terrible grammar is as bad as mass genocide. ;P

Also I was just showing you how obvious that mistake was.

Exactly. Same here.

That actually sounds better. After all, isn't "glide air attack" reduntant, since you have to be in the air to glide anyway? How do people abbreviate Dash Attack?
DA.

Yay for GA and Glair being >>>>>>>>> Gair. =P

Whenever I say Gair, it always starts to come out as Gay-Air.

NO

simply because using -air for a suffix is to show that the move was used in the air, and glide attacks can only be used in the air

the name for it is GLIDE ATTACK, lol
okay, you said that it is an attack in the air, and the gair is only doable in the air, so according to what YOU are saying, it should be gair. you are okay with typing out gliding attack instead of gair?

I guess it's ok, but I don't really think it should be changed from glide attack just because it's longer to type out than gair.

^^^^ oh, and lol

Both Gair and Glair are good names! I'm so glad I saw this, I was annoyed typing out "glide attack" in some discussions.

I have an idea. "Glide Attack" shall be known as "Glair" and Glair can also stand for 5 different animals, everyone happy?

Also Pit's Glair is the best.

Well, Glide Attack and sdaklhteiowhoawwiauhf can stand for much more animals. (of course it makes it longer and pointless)

I say Gair. So that all of them have the same number of letters.

GA is ok, Gair is ok, Glair is ok.
We don't need ONE name, we can use all.
There are like 2457657657 names for DACUS as well.
