OFFICIAL NOMENCLATURE PETITION
« on: February 23, 2017, 05:45:39 pm »
I am hereby requesting the official name changes:

-SINGLE R-LEAN changed to R-TAP

-DOUBLE R-LEAN changed to R-LEAN

-DUCK DOUBLE LEAN changed to DUCK LEAN or ABSOLUTE DEGENERACY

For real though the first two should at least be changed because there is too much misconception around the tricks. Even Boss thought until recently that you double leaned in runway 32 strat.

People highly underestimate the power that names have on psychology. Neil deGrasse Tyson recently mentioned how because scientists called the undetectable gravitational source phenomena "Dark Matter", it has caused scientists to primarily look for a form of matter instead of different, possibly more likely explanations that could have nothing to do with matter.

To those who don't already know:
Double r-lean is HOLD R + HOLD CUP + HOLD CRIGHT -> RELEASE Z -> TAP CLEFT
Single r-lean is RELEASE Z (while strafing) -> TAP R

I knew and stated from the first day R-Lean was a misleading and silly name for it. Unfortunately, no one listened and it's too late now. It's similar to what we consider the flow of current now. Very few are going to change the way they've been saying a term for the past 2 years, and most won't because of a level they'll probably never play.
