The principle that every bad situation produces something good or teaches some lesson. It is derived from the fact that clouds, even though dark, often have bright silver edges where the sun reflects.

2020 was a terrible year, but the silver lining was I got to do school from the comfort of home, finally wasn't constantly busy, got to play lots and lots of video games, and learned to appreciate a normal world.

Koopa-Backdash-Wave-Slide-Hover-Walk-Moon-Landing

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, characters who's walk-acceleration is lower than their traction value after wavelanding backwards can buffer a slight walk forwards to decrease the momentum lost. The walk input must be at its lowest value to perfectly execute the tech. (rough translation of inputs) Characters with low traction (Luigi) benefit worse than those with higher traction values in Melee. (i.e Gannondorf can benefit from the Koopa Backdash Wave Slide Hover Walk Moon Landing more than Luigi in terms of distance)
Youtube has more info on this.

The Koopa-Backdash-Wave-Slide-Hover-Walk-Moon-Landing can make virtually anyone feel like they are playing on ice.
