literally what the forget does this mean

i am really unfamiliar with smash terms

dair = downward aerial move

spike/meteor = aerial move that launches opponents downward, except one can be recovered from (can't remember which)

scrub = yosher

and doing sheik's dair off-stage is just stupid anyway

Not necessarily all aerial moves are meteor smashes, but most of them are.

I don't recall saying they all were.

meteor smashing is hitting an opponent with an attack that sends them straight down (and they're unable to double-jump even if they saved it iirc), spiking is the 'pro term' because why not change meteor smash to spike
also sheik's dair (down air) is one of those moves where they go flying down, like captain falcon's downb, zss dair, etc

spike/meteor = aerial move that launches opponents downward, except one can be recovered from (can't remember which)

wouldn't it be kirby's dair since it doesn't spike until around 100%? it still launches down but i don't think it's considered a spike until then

well in melee 'spike' and 'meteor (smash)' were different things; meteors send you straight down and (melee only) can be canceled.

spikes have a (generally) diagonal trajectory, but still send you downwards (not able to be canceled however).

but since brawl didn't have 'spikes' now the terms 'spike' and 'meteor' are practically synonymous outside of melee.  I don't believe much changed on this topic from brawl to 4

if you know the timing and you're a stock ahead of someone and know you can land it, sheiks dair spike is a nice way to trade off a stock. It can grab you a fast win.

Some characters are just really tedious/boring to play against like Mario, Link, Fox, and CF.

No disrespect to people who actually main them but it just isn't fun most of the time.

I find Duck Hunt really boring to play against. Forcing him to approach you is just a boring play style, especially when you play a patient one.
