i've gotten into watching videos explaining stuff about the meta of super smash bros and they keep using terms we don't understand and why is there all this jargon

@Felthry ssbwiki.com/SmashWiki:Glossary this is pretty good, but if you're wondering about anything specific i can probably help

@monorail this doesn't include the one that I was most curious about--I've seen several moves called "a gentleman" (e.g. "toon link's jab ends in a gentleman") and I don't know what that means

@Felthry this is a really weird one that i actually had to look up to be 100% sure

some characters have a jab that can be optionally continued into a rapid flurry of attacks, and if you choose to not do that, the final hit is called a gentleman

i also do not know why it's called taht

@monorail @Felthry maybe because not doing the full hit combo is seen as "polite"?

@noiob @Felthry at least in the case of captain falcon (who the term usually is used in reference to), the gentleman is considered the superior option

@monorail @Felthry it still stuns the opponent for less time, right?

@noiob @Felthry i'm not sure, but it knocks them away far enough to be generally safer
