    Well, I was doing this the other day:

    TA T-4 > TA T-3 > TA T-2 > TA T-1

    And I was wondering if that would be considered a TA Rise. blink.gif

    I don't know what that would be called, but I do the opposite of that every day, all the time.

    So would that be like a TA Fall?

    TA T-1 > TA T-2 > TA T-3 > TA T-4

    I wouldn't think so....... your just kind of like pushing off with a diff finger...

    TA rise and fall doesn't really fit I don't think. The pen doesn't exactly go anywhere, you just use different fingers to push it.

    It might already have a name.

    If not, I'd call it an Alternating TA, or something similar.

    yah... thumb around bust fall rise is possible, but unless you have more than one thumb it'd b hard tah go around all your thumbs...
    alternating thumb rev down or up mite look cool ish though...

    How many thumbs do you have on one hand?

    Also, adding to this since it's very similar... I do something that is just like this as well, but if I use my pinky to push it goes around both the thumb and the pinky together.

    I don't know what that would be though.

    don't use fall and rise for it if you're trying to do a good job describing what you're doing, because they can be kinda subjective, and though there is a pretty standard use for it (start at 4 and move down to 1) its basically only used for sonic and shadow, and only because it was used a long time ago.

    the new trend is just say what the trick is out and out, because eventually there won't be enough names for every single combo in the world.

    for example: shadow 43-32>shadow 23-12>shadow 2312 NOT shadow fall

    when will it stop? we'll have combo's making combo's making combo's- it'll be a russian doll situation. haha Flight of the Conchords- Issues for anyone who didn't get the reference (even though its long, watch it. it's hilarious.)

    just call tricks what they are, even if it takes an extra second or two, just to make sure people understand what you're doing.

    (hope it doesn't seem like im trying to boss you. i dont post much here, but i was pretty active back on ucpsb)

    that's the point, you cant really have a fall with one finger...


    and why not make the shadow fall? then any trick that you can make fall is a wutever fall and the opposite is a whatever rise and back and forth is a watever harmonic... itd make life a lot easier and easier to describe to somone.....

    Hehe I have no Idea and also calling the tricks with names is kinda stupid these times imo (since it's hard to get everyone to know what does that mean)
    But thanks for this idea, I will practice it smile.gif

    That is why I suggested the name Alternating TA. It helps to shorten the length of the name, and makes more sense.

  13. gizzardsmack
    Date: Tue, Dec 4 2007 22:13:21

    is alternating t1>t3>t2>t4? does the fall go up or down the hand? does it change if my hand changes directions?

    i know that it makes sense if you know what we're talking about. but im SURE that theres been some combo you havn't know what it's meant, and you wish that they had just called it by the trick name. don't lie to yourself biggrin.gif

  14. shoeman6
    Date: Tue, Dec 4 2007 22:13:39

    or you cud call it "that one trick where you push of with all your fingers up or down doing thumb arounds..." and if somone said shadow fall I think people would understand what it was even though its not realy a real name or bak tap fal rise harmonic im sure people would know what that wuz too...

    and when I see a trick I don't know I jsut look it up, or I use meh brain and think hmmmmm shadow fall that must meen shadow that goes down the hand...
    is the tricks lke pseudo sonic where you have no idea no clue wut that is, what makes a trick pseudo?????

    Okay, so then would it be something like,

    Thumbaround Chain:
    TA T-4 > TA T-3 > TA T-2 > TA T-1

    Thumbaround Chain Reverse:
    TA T-1 > TA T-2 > TA T-3 > TA T-4

    I think that'd be a better name than "Rise/Fall".

  16. gizzardsmack
    Date: Tue, Dec 4 2007 22:16:23

    that does make some sense, but why not just call it what it is?

    That's sounds alright. Add it to the wiki and see if anyone changes it, or comments.

  18. shoeman6

    pushing off with different fingers in a row doesn't qualify in MY mind as needing a name...

  19. Square
    Date: Tue, Dec 4 2007 22:19:43

    Any common "combo" that has a lengthy name, in my opinion, qualifies as deserving a name.

    Should I just put it in as a Combo sub-section?

  21. Square
    Date: Tue, Dec 4 2007 22:21:07

    Wherever you think it fits. Combo sub-section sounds about right.

    it doesn't happen often enough. have you EVER seen it in a combo?

    2? 3? i don't think so. dont name something that you've done casually but no one knows what it is.

    Well, he's putting it in the wiki. We shall let the wiki decide its fate.

    Would saying that I discovered it sound a bit cocky? ^^;

    I guess its your call. I don't think its name worthy, though it's a fine combo to put in, just don't name it.

    Date: Tue, Dec 4 2007 22:37:35

    mhmmmm and don't say you discovered it because you're just the one who WANTS to call the combo something...

    Where is Sketching when you need him
    This has gone on for far too long without him intervening

    This combo has been done long ago. I made a topic about it on UCPSB and someone said it's been done before then on UPSB.

    Hello everybody!

    This is an old and not-at-all-exciting or inventive combo. It has no reason to be named. There's no need to name combos anymore, especially for such a non-unique and old combo.

    Edit:
    Thumbaround Rise Combo by Leviathan

    Go to that thread and check the video that includes the Thumbaround Harmonics that use differen finger pushes, much more impressive that just Thumbarounds.
