Reverse Hydroplane UpSmash is Squirtle's sliding upsmash tech. It's basically just RAR JC Usmash.

TACUS stands for Turnaround Canceled Upsmash, which is the same tech, but only like one of us calls it that. It's kind of been a running joke since.

All I'm saying is that RARJCUS is the only name that accurately describes how it works. Calling it a RHUS would be like calling a hadron collider a science machine.

I like the name TACUS more but I can see why RHUS makes more sense.

RARJCUS Is way too hard to say IMO

I mean, you type it 99% of the time, because your friends don't know what it means anyway, right?

true and it isn't like I hear anyone on commentary say squirtle tech that isn't hydroplane or shellshify often anyway.

Because TACUS is incorrect terminology of an already named tech from brawl that carried over into pm, RHUS
