Reading this thread is like reading some kind of foreign language.

What is di, or tipper, or laggy, or all of that stuff? Can anyone link me to a "Smash for dummies" site where I can figure out what all the SSBB slang is?

I was on smashboards reading about pit, but I couldn't ingest anything because I kept on seeing u-smash and all this other stuff that seems foreign to me.

Thx.

Some people include dashes, jabs is just clicking A to do strikes on the ground

I couldn't find anything on google so..

 Not that hard....

N = Neutral: just a standard button like just clicking a in the air or B. terms of vocab, nair.

F = Forward:  ftilt (a tilt is only moving your joyl stick slightly to the right so it isn't a smash.), fsmash, fair

D = Down: dtilt, dair, dsmash

U = Up: utilt, usmash, uair

Dash Attack = Running and clicking A performs this.

DI = Directional Influence, holding a control stick to the direction of where you want to get launched after an attack, can be crucial for escaping smashes (Pikachu), combos, grabs, or just surviving.

Laggy = Delay time, it's when there is a lot of delay in match, this is seen accompanied with online because online has a horrible amount of lag.

SH = Short Hop, tap Y with a character that can jump, and they jump a smaller distance than a normal jump.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRht1NgMvGQ <---- This guy does an SHDL. DL= Double Laser

Boost Smashing = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7Q2gfVEf0k  on the right to understand what he did. Can also be referred to as Dash Attack Cancel or Lag canceled up smash. Haven't seen anyone abbreviate this...

Auto Cancel = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyhnF4jZa_Y click info, there is a guide on it on smashboards, just look for it >.>.

AT = Advanced Techniques, basically things like DI, Boost Smashing, and Auto Cancel. Sometimes stands for Assist Trophy (item).

Tiers= It's a list of characters top to bottom, best to worst.

All I can think of right now...
