We should probably come up with a different name?

Still a great find, though.

Whaaat?! You're saying "ee tee jub" (or alternatively "ee tee jub bee") isn't a cool name or something? Haha, I guess I'm not too attached to it though, any suggestions?

The tech it reminded me of in RoA is called Orcahop, so maybe Robhop would work?
R.O.B.hop doesn't look very good so maybe R.O.B.H.O.P. would be the (overkill) alternative

Wow, for once it is I that taught Mister Eric...

Also I heard a good suggestion in the accompanying reddit thread. Someone mentioned ET Jump and that sounded simple but descriptive enough. Maybe an alternative to that would be ET Boost. Thoughts?

ET boost sounds good, but what's ET jump?

Empty Tank Boost or ETB sounds good to me.

Anyway nice tech now I just need to unlearn to first use my DJ and then ^B.

Empty Tank Jump or ETJ sounds nice.
The whole AT is a jump, but the advantages over normal DJing is the boost in speed and height so I think it should be called ETJ.

This is very helpful and will eventually come in handy. Also reminder to everyone to rapidly tap B instead of holding it to prolong your fuel. It's been around since Brawl and I still see ROBs not doing it.

Damn, I was going to complain about the lack of explanation and then noticed that my annotations setting on YT is off.
Great stuff man

Oh yikes I never thought of that! I'll have to make a note in the description reminding people to turn them on. Glad you (eventually) found it useful!

Hey, I'm glad it's seeing competitive use. Kinda funny, I had just watched you blow it in your recent Zanryo ladder match when I read this haha. No need to worry about starting it too soon, magnet hands all the way up!
