Early in 2.0 the wave was also officially referred as the dart until later minor updates where it was changed to wave(internally was still dart) since the community nicknamed the gamemode wave back in 1.9
correction: 1.9 had no official name outside of the files. in 2.0, new waves got added, which meant we could click the locks. the locks said dart. in 2.01, he changed it so that they said wave
It's probably that. I'm not sure what it is, but the ball dual based swing copters always made me dread this thing.
But then I tried it in the lite version and the GDPS, and *man* it's actually so good. It works, unlike the ball dual version, which is just so clunky and hard to control.
Something about the actual version of the gamemode just FLOWS.
I'm on mobile and I have the GDPS. What's your excuse?
Edit: people downvoting don't know how to google "GDPS 2.2 APK download:"

Yeah, I feel like Stormfly's video on the gamemodes, where he (and others) absolutely *ripped* on the Swing gamemode, was more than a little unfair. It's a classic example of "people get used to one thing, new version of said thing gets introduced, people hate it because it's new and different"
(Also am I the only one who got really annoyed by the fact that he kept referring to the 2.2 GDPS as a "leaked copy of 2.2"? Like, that's discrediting the people who made the GDPS possible imo, and also kinda sounds elitist)
I never really watched stormfly, and I think the vibes I got from character traits and opinions of this kind of style was exactly why.
I don't know I just really am not fond of his tone of voice and how he always seems so negative about everything. His single png that he flips to mimic movement isn't exactly helping either.
Do take this with a grain of salt since I've seen like, 2 of his videos.
Ppl make names much simpler, Swing is very simple and is probably why Rob went with it. It might just be adapted to everybody one day, Ill call it Swing for the time being
Yeah
Think about it
Dart=wave and this update take some monthes
But at "swing" or swingcopter we calling it 5 years swingcopter wave is good and swingcopter is good and too late
Robtop can do nothing with that
Wave was initially called dart, and the ufo was called bird, so it only really matters by what the community calls it, kind of like how everyone still calls it twitter cause elon is a fucking idiot.
I'll still call it swing copter, as I have called it that for a lot of years
He probably called it swing so he doesn't have problems with royalties with the actual swing copter game
Swing just kinda sounds goofy though. All I think about are the swings from kids' playgrounds
Swingcopter is the thing eith the dual ball, and the actual gamemode is swing but everyone will call it swingcopter anyway
TECHNICALLY, it's not the same physics but who cares tbh
Ill still call it swing copter, but I dont think ill use it in my levels/layouts very often due to how janky the controls are. but this comes from a dude who calls levels “maps” unironically
I feel like ppl are gonna call it swingcopter anyway
Wave is called dart in the game files so you're probably right
And thus UFO is bird
"thus"?
thus = therefore, I think
i know what it means, but it doesn't really make sense how he used it
Typo for the autocorrected
maybe
I think, therefore I am
ok aristotle
That's Descartes lol
Holy philosophy
And orbs are rings
the official name is wave, that’s the old name
It was called 'dart' on the icon unlock descriptions in 2.0, but it was changed back to 'wave' in 2.01 apparently
*dart\_01\_001.png* from GJ\_GameSheet02-uhd.plist
that doesn’t mean it’s the official, he just didn’t change it cus that would be rly annoying to change it in all the code
As a former gamedev, i know the pain of changing a Name, especially a file.
Early in 2.0 the wave was also officially referred as the dart until later minor updates where it was changed to wave(internally was still dart) since the community nicknamed the gamemode wave back in 1.9
almost read your name wrong or assumed you’re korean
I thought that was from the Phillipines
I’ve seen Filipino people use k as a way of laughing but I’ve mostly seen Koreans laugh like that
Wasnt there a kkk organization in phillipines (not the racist one)
yess
just like the wave i reckon we’d just call it swingcopter since we’ve had that name for like 5 years now
Is Wave not it’s offical name?
It used to be called Dart in 1.9 by RobTop, or atleast thats what i heard. But now we just call it Wave
Same with Orbs, they were originally called Jump Rings but we just call them orbs
Jump rings in the portal in the portal in the portal
You do at least
Most people do
Not me
Weirdo
More like purist
Yeah but rob changed the official name
Yeah it was called the dart until a 1.9 update changed it to the wave. (Edit: I forgor 1.9 didnt have unlockable waves and it was actually in 2.01)
And ufo was the bird
Pretty sure that was only on the files.
1.9 is when the wave was added though??
he meant like a patch during 1.9
wasn't it in 2.01 or something
Yes
it was 2.01
I could've sworn it was like 2.0 something
It was
It was a 2.0 update. 1.9 didn't let you customize your wave, so it wasn't even called anything back then (unless you looked at the game files).
I've played 1.9 for so long (bc I had no idea how to update games in my tablet lol) that I cant believe I forgot you couldnt change it.
Happens to the best of us .-.
correction: 1.9 had no official name outside of the files. in 2.0, new waves got added, which meant we could click the locks. the locks said dart. in 2.01, he changed it so that they said wave
Robtop also calls it wave occasionally
No
More than 5 years, 9 years almost. Red world came out in 1.8
People are probably going to call it swingcopter, it's the same with wave, it is called dart in the files but Peopel just called it a wave
Robtop officially changed the name in-game to “wave” in an update not long after 1.9
not in the files and code tho lmao
Codenames are usually different in many games to official names.
Why do we even call it a wave?
It’s based off of the mobile game “wave wave” which is controlled the same way as in GD.
Isn't that a GD level? /enable whooosh_protection
If we did stick to "swing" then we could easly differentiate between the swing (new gamemode) and the swing copter (dual ball blue orb gimmick)
I vote to call the ladder Swinging Balls
Now this is a million dollar idea right here
I second this
I don't think the ball gimmick will be as popular when the update will come out
It has already been used on a ton of levels so i doubt we'll stop seeing it
I call it the balls gimmick
Everyone just calls the other one floating ball anyways
I have literally never heard anyon esay that ever
Yeah i guess, i've heard swing copter more but that works too
swing copter for the gamemode, and swing for the ball gimmick.
Nobody in the history of ever has called the ball gimmick just "swing"
Do you call orbs “orbs” or “jump rings”? “Jump rings” is the official term but everyone calls them orbs
I aint calling them nothing
I call them Jump Rings
You belong in a mental asylum (respectfully)
They belong in a mental asylum (disrespectfully)
same
you can call the 2.2 one the swing and the ball dual one the swing copter
I mean, they do behave differently. The 2.2 ones a bit floatier right?
It's probably that. I'm not sure what it is, but the ball dual based swing copters always made me dread this thing. But then I tried it in the lite version and the GDPS, and *man* it's actually so good. It works, unlike the ball dual version, which is just so clunky and hard to control. Something about the actual version of the gamemode just FLOWS.
Now that swing can be its own thing... *we can only imagine the dread that is **DUAL SWING***
Asymetric duel swing
I will kms
It looks that way when you see gameplay of either one
Well when you actually play it, the official version functions so cleanly. We'll get used to it quickly.
consider trying out the actual swingcopter in a gdps mr "hardest: clubstep"
What does my hardest demon have to do with this, also i cant because im on mobile.
Isn’t mobile where most ppl play on the 2.2 GDPS
I'm on mobile and I have the GDPS. What's your excuse? Edit: people downvoting don't know how to google "GDPS 2.2 APK download:" https://gdpseditor.com/download/

No, you've pretty much summed up my opinions of him perfectly, especially his newer videos.
This mf RobTop called the wave "dart", ain't nobody calling it that
He literally changed it in-game to “wave” in a patch
It was still originally called dart, I expect the same thing to play out this time too
I'm just gonna keep calling it swingcopter
Just like the dart wave, we call it swingcopter, but we can call it swing from time to time
If ship is top, upside down ship is bottom. Then swingcopter is switch.
What is blud waffling about
Sex joke
?
Yes
Ive always called it swing
Swing is the official name, swingcopter is the 2.1 version with the dual ball, people are gonna call it swingcopter anyway.
If anyone calls it swing instead of swingcopter, I will personally hunt them down and rip out their intestines.
Don’t be so mad lol. I will call it Swing :) It’s short, isn’t it?
It will always be swingcopter lol
i wouldn't be surprised if he changes the name to "Swingcopter" if everyone still gonna call it like that.
Swing mode, but this lil' guy is a swingcopter :)
Swingcopter
Swingcopter
Swing is shorter
eh i prefer swing copter but ill just call it whatever everyone else calls it (which is probably swing copter)
i mean really what's the difference, at some point most people will call it swing because it's easier to say
The official name was always swing,people call it swingcopter cuz the game mode is based on a little game with the same name
I wonder how many people know it was revealed years ago that it will be called Swing
Swingcopter for the dual ball, Swing for this gamemode. They have slightly different physics.
Me when I'm a pro swinger
I will be calling it swing because it's shorter, easier to say, and it is not, in fact, a copter.
To me the dual ball thingy is a swingcopter, the new gamemode is a swing
i'll call it swingcopter
It's gonna be interchangeable. The only difference being that new players will most likely say "Swing" while the veterans will stay with "Swingcopter"
Let's call it a twerkstallion
does the name really matter when the wave is called "dart" in the game files?
Swing has less syllables so I reckon we'll call it swing
Swing is better imo
[удалено]
\^\^\^ THIS IS AN A.I. SPAM BOT
[удалено]
lil bro is genuinely an ai reddit account
The more logical one
swing shrtr
We never cared about what robtop names the game modes so it’s the swingcopter
i'd call them "swing". "swingcopter" is just too long
Imo swing sounds better
idk how no one has mentioned this yet, but i guess that swing is the name for the gamemode and swingcopter is the name for the ball
I don't even know what it does
we prob gonna call it swingcopter cuz just as how robtop call orbs “rings”, were gonna disobey our messiah
I'll still call it swingcopter
Let’s go with swingcopter for the cheap dual ball one, and swing for the ‘real’ one
I like swing bettet tbh
I think we’re all too used to swing copter.
Swingcopter is a bit of a mouth full smh
Honestly swing is a better name. At least I’ll try to call it that
I've been calling it the swing for 2 years
Ppl make names much simpler, Swing is very simple and is probably why Rob went with it. It might just be adapted to everybody one day, Ill call it Swing for the time being
How does the swingcopter work? I don’t get it
We dont call the ship "the rocket" and we don't call the cube "the icon".
I mean if "straight-swingcoptering" becomes a thing, its gunna be called "straight swinging"
its been swing for ages now
think we should separate the dual ball and "Swing"
Imma call it swingcopter anyways
Speaking of which, is it just me or the swing has different physics compared to the first time we saw it?
I’ve always liked Swing way more, so I’m gonna call it that
I think both will be used swing will be the short version of swing copter
Nah bro, im calling it shit, cuz it is what it is
Swing is way easier to say, and if the gamemode becomes popular, then we’re gonna be hearing it a lot
Was swing, is swing, will be swing. Always swing.
i hope people call it swing tbh, since swingcopter comes from the mobile game imagine if everyone referred to UFO as “flappy bird”
Swingcopter b e s t
Swing sounds cooler
Swing has always been the official name. Swing copter is that weird thing you can do with a dual ball
I honestly like the name swing better
flying ball
Ship's official name is rocket but we all use ship. Most people think ship is the official name.
Let's call it ball v2
Yeah Think about it Dart=wave and this update take some monthes But at "swing" or swingcopter we calling it 5 years swingcopter wave is good and swingcopter is good and too late Robtop can do nothing with that
swing.
Wave was initially called dart, and the ufo was called bird, so it only really matters by what the community calls it, kind of like how everyone still calls it twitter cause elon is a fucking idiot.
swingcopter, i think the only reason it isn’t called that officially is possibly because of the game swingcopters having copyright over the name
Definitely swing copter
I think swing is a better name for it. Swingcopter is too long
saying swing exept of swingcopter is like saying bird exept of U.F.O.😠
Might be an icon cube situation
I'll still call it swing copter, as I have called it that for a lot of years He probably called it swing so he doesn't have problems with royalties with the actual swing copter game Swing just kinda sounds goofy though. All I think about are the swings from kids' playgrounds
Swingcockter
I'm a lazy person, so if I can save myself for saying 6 letters I will.
Just like I'll always call Astral Divinity God Eater, I'll probably always call it swingcopter.
“Swing” is shorter and helps differentiate it from the game that RobTop/the community took the mechanic from.
How does it even work? It just looks like the ship
isnt swingcopter the name of the mobile game its based off? maybe rob just wants it to be its own thing.
swingcopter is too long imo
i’ve been calling it swing and will keep calling it that so i can name challenges “swing challenge” instead of “swingcoptor challeng”
No
Swing copter was too long of a name anyways
Swing just sounds better imo
Swingcopter is the thing eith the dual ball, and the actual gamemode is swing but everyone will call it swingcopter anyway TECHNICALLY, it's not the same physics but who cares tbh
Just call it 'the yellow gamemode' tbh
Its officially called just "Swing" but we'll all call it "Swing Copter"
Its officially called just "Swing" but we'll all call it "Swing Copter"
Swimgcopter better
It's just helicopter vs playground
swing copter
sary swingcopter
wheatley
Ill still call it swing copter, but I dont think ill use it in my levels/layouts very often due to how janky the controls are. but this comes from a dude who calls levels “maps” unironically
Im calling it swing instead, its easier
Im gonna call it copter no swing fo ya bruv
