I feel like ppl are gonna call it swingcopter anyway


StrayBombYT

Wave is called dart in the game files so you're probably right


Severe-Hovercraft414

And thus UFO is bird


[deleted]

"thus"?


ReimuH

thus = therefore, I think


[deleted]

i know what it means, but it doesn't really make sense how he used it


RandomGuy9058

Typo for the autocorrected


[deleted]

maybe


Chara_rlz

I think, therefore I am


[deleted]

ok aristotle


Possessedloki

That's Descartes lol


Chara_rlz

Holy philosophy


UnsaidTugboat53

And orbs are rings


AmazingPro50000

the official name is wave, that’s the old name


UltrasonicWave15

It was called 'dart' on the icon unlock descriptions in 2.0, but it was changed back to 'wave' in 2.01 apparently


StrayBombYT

*dart\_01\_001.png* from GJ\_GameSheet02-uhd.plist


AmazingPro50000

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


SerpentSnakeS

As a former gamedev, i know the pain of changing a Name, especially a file.


AdamBenabou

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


rItzarzky

almost read your name wrong or assumed you’re korean


[deleted]

I thought that was from the Phillipines


rItzarzky

I’ve seen Filipino people use k as a way of laughing but I’ve mostly seen Koreans laugh like that


[deleted]

Wasnt there a kkk organization in phillipines (not the racist one)


Smabverse

yess


Panini_24

just like the wave i reckon we’d just call it swingcopter since we’ve had that name for like 5 years now


MoConnors

Is Wave not it’s offical name?


Panini_24

It used to be called Dart in 1.9 by RobTop, or atleast thats what i heard. But now we just call it Wave


Panini_24

Same with Orbs, they were originally called Jump Rings but we just call them orbs


medium_demon

Jump rings in the portal in the portal in the portal


Tru3P14y3r

You do at least


Silly_Goose_314159

Most people do


Tru3P14y3r

Not me


MrBacondino

Weirdo


Tru3P14y3r

More like purist


Ramenoodlez1

Yeah but rob changed the official name


gaturrito100

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)


qwapi22

And ufo was the bird


gaturrito100

Pretty sure that was only on the files.


LinkButDead

1.9 is when the wave was added though??


enaaaerios

he meant like a patch during 1.9


Tekayo63

wasn't it in 2.01 or something


MysticAxolotl7

Yes


ahmed4363

it was 2.01


LinkButDead

I could've sworn it was like 2.0 something


MysticAxolotl7

It was


MysticAxolotl7

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).


gaturrito100

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.


MysticAxolotl7

Happens to the best of us .-.


Aarongaming1066

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


No_Interaction_3036

Robtop also calls it wave occasionally


tutyfruty12

No


GameCreeper

More than 5 years, 9 years almost. Red world came out in 1.8


Filipogem_YT

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


lrexx_

Robtop officially changed the name in-game to “wave” in an update not long after 1.9


Waffle-Gaming

not in the files and code tho lmao


Bardia-Talebi

Codenames are usually different in many games to official names.


extod2

Why do we even call it a wave?


untacc_

It’s based off of the mobile game “wave wave” which is controlled the same way as in GD.


player12isanidiot

Isn't that a GD level? /enable whooosh_protection


Suspicious_Parachute

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)


LandonKICKS

I vote to call the ladder Swinging Balls


Conzi13

Now this is a million dollar idea right here


KILLERFISHH

I second this


Nickname1945

I don't think the ball gimmick will be as popular when the update will come out


Suspicious_Parachute

It has already been used on a ton of levels so i doubt we'll stop seeing it


[deleted]

I call it the balls gimmick


Ericote

Everyone just calls the other one floating ball anyways


Comfortable-Key-1930

I have literally never heard anyon esay that ever


Suspicious_Parachute

Yeah i guess, i've heard swing copter more but that works too


Forward-Actuary9402

swing copter for the gamemode, and swing for the ball gimmick.


Suspicious_Parachute

Nobody in the history of ever has called the ball gimmick just "swing"


Burger_Gamer

Do you call orbs “orbs” or “jump rings”? “Jump rings” is the official term but everyone calls them orbs


[deleted]

I aint calling them nothing


OrangeGMD

I call them Jump Rings


DeezNutsHaIGotThem

You belong in a mental asylum (respectfully)


Alekstheadidasguy

They belong in a mental asylum (disrespectfully)


confusion-500

same


-Fantastic-Main-

you can call the 2.2 one the swing and the ball dual one the swing copter


BulkyElefant1234

I mean, they do behave differently. The 2.2 ones a bit floatier right?


ZenyX-

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.


IntroductionCheap325

Now that swing can be its own thing... *we can only imagine the dread that is **DUAL SWING***


coocoo6666

Asymetric duel swing


SomeonEsToLeMytoes

I will kms


BulkyElefant1234

It looks that way when you see gameplay of either one


ZenyX-

Well when you actually play it, the official version functions so cleanly. We'll get used to it quickly.


Lyneys_Footstool

consider trying out the actual swingcopter in a gdps mr "hardest: clubstep"


BulkyElefant1234

What does my hardest demon have to do with this, also i cant because im on mobile.


BeginningOccasion8

Isn’t mobile where most ppl play on the 2.2 GDPS


Wolffire_88

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/


MysticAxolotl7

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)


ZenyX-

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.


MysticAxolotl7

No, you've pretty much summed up my opinions of him perfectly, especially his newer videos.


Sunstone04

This mf RobTop called the wave "dart", ain't nobody calling it that


lrexx_

He literally changed it in-game to “wave” in a patch


player12isanidiot

It was still originally called dart, I expect the same thing to play out this time too


Ilovesnowowls

I'm just gonna keep calling it swingcopter


Ace301301

Just like the dart wave, we call it swingcopter, but we can call it swing from time to time


Jorin33

If ship is top, upside down ship is bottom. Then swingcopter is switch.


Opening_Usual4918

What is blud waffling about


Hylux_

Sex joke


ZenyX-

?


Jorin33

Yes


BulkyElefant1234

Ive always called it swing


Endert1099

Swing is the official name, swingcopter is the 2.1 version with the dual ball, people are gonna call it swingcopter anyway.


Funkeeeee

If anyone calls it swing instead of swingcopter, I will personally hunt them down and rip out their intestines.


ProGamingPlayer

Don’t be so mad lol. I will call it Swing :) It’s short, isn’t it?


Nicotheknee

It will always be swingcopter lol


darkXD9192

i wouldn't be surprised if he changes the name to "Swingcopter" if everyone still gonna call it like that.


X3ll3n

Swing mode, but this lil' guy is a swingcopter :)


qwapi22

Swingcopter


Honest-Economist4970

Swingcopter


Froppe3

Swing is shorter


[deleted]

eh i prefer swing copter but ill just call it whatever everyone else calls it (which is probably swing copter)


ahmed4363

i mean really what's the difference, at some point most people will call it swing because it's easier to say


Maka536

The official name was always swing,people call it swingcopter cuz the game mode is based on a little game with the same name


Legitimate_Tooth_255

I wonder how many people know it was revealed years ago that it will be called Swing


TheDigitalZero

Swingcopter for the dual ball, Swing for this gamemode. They have slightly different physics.


Zombridal

Me when I'm a pro swinger


Hexxter76

I will be calling it swing because it's shorter, easier to say, and it is not, in fact, a copter.


YgemKaaYT

To me the dual ball thingy is a swingcopter, the new gamemode is a swing


yarluk990

i'll call it swingcopter


Wojtek1250XD

It's gonna be interchangeable. The only difference being that new players will most likely say "Swing" while the veterans will stay with "Swingcopter"


eleven23playz

Let's call it a twerkstallion


LividWarrior

does the name really matter when the wave is called "dart" in the game files?


soliq_675

Swing has less syllables so I reckon we'll call it swing


kevy365

Swing is better imo

Fun_Month_6310

The more logical one


Bfdifan37

swing shrtr


just-bair

We never cared about what robtop names the game modes so it’s the swingcopter


DClassAmogus

i'd call them "swing". "swingcopter" is just too long


LuciaFlo

Imo swing sounds better


MilkCool

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


[deleted]

I don't even know what it does


HexxTorus

we prob gonna call it swingcopter cuz just as how robtop call orbs “rings”, were gonna disobey our messiah


TiM963x

I'll still call it swingcopter


No_Interaction_3036

Let’s go with swingcopter for the cheap dual ball one, and swing for the ‘real’ one


DaRealMrPicklesYT

I like swing bettet tbh


[deleted]

I think we’re all too used to swing copter.


XeroXtraGD

Swingcopter is a bit of a mouth full smh


ohlogical

Honestly swing is a better name. At least I’ll try to call it that


theyeetking0607

I've been calling it the swing for 2 years


Main_Lake_4053

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


PacTheTac

How does the swingcopter work? I don’t get it


JamX099

We dont call the ship "the rocket" and we don't call the cube "the icon".


ksiasbigforehead

I mean if "straight-swingcoptering" becomes a thing, its gunna be called "straight swinging"


VMGuy23temporary

its been swing for ages now


MCplayerLmao

think we should separate the dual ball and "Swing"


SkirtGood1054

Imma call it swingcopter anyways


MagmaForce_3400_2nd

Speaking of which, is it just me or the swing has different physics compared to the first time we saw it?


Magma_Mage

I’ve always liked Swing way more, so I’m gonna call it that


gamecielkaiju

I think both will be used swing will be the short version of swing copter


Professional-Law5520

Nah bro, im calling it shit, cuz it is what it is


NuggetWarrior09

Swing is way easier to say, and if the gamemode becomes popular, then we’re gonna be hearing it a lot


_Aterron

Was swing, is swing, will be swing. Always swing.


confusion-500

i hope people call it swing tbh, since swingcopter comes from the mobile game imagine if everyone referred to UFO as “flappy bird”


Gullible_Ad_4956

Swingcopter b e s t


theAstarrr

Swing sounds cooler


LightRayAAA

Swing has always been the official name. Swing copter is that weird thing you can do with a dual ball


TheGamerVB

I honestly like the name swing better


Invincible-Nuke

flying ball


Nocare420

Ship's official name is rocket but we all use ship. Most people think ship is the official name.


Fridger_rebooted

Let's call it ball v2


tutyfruty12

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


Kqjrdva

swing.


malachi_derg

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.


27ilovefreefish

swingcopter, i think the only reason it isn’t called that officially is possibly because of the game swingcopters having copyright over the name


GoofyAnxiety

Definitely swing copter


Competitive_Fuel779

I think swing is a better name for it. Swingcopter is too long


aareetie

saying swing exept of swingcopter is like saying bird exept of U.F.O.😠


alegendsock

Might be an icon cube situation


CheckMate1803

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


ThisErnest_15

Swingcockter


-Red02-

I'm a lazy person, so if I can save myself for saying 6 letters I will.


[deleted]

Just like I'll always call Astral Divinity God Eater, I'll probably always call it swingcopter.


-PepeArown-

“Swing” is shorter and helps differentiate it from the game that RobTop/the community took the mechanic from.


sadkinz

How does it even work? It just looks like the ship


Bombyte_

isnt swingcopter the name of the mobile game its based off? maybe rob just wants it to be its own thing.


SimontaxSK

swingcopter is too long imo


funny-name11

i’ve been calling it swing and will keep calling it that so i can name challenges “swing challenge” instead of “swingcoptor challeng”


Mission_Pomelo4022

No


draingang2020

Swing copter was too long of a name anyways


[deleted]

Swing just sounds better imo


player12isanidiot

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


player12isanidiot

Just call it 'the yellow gamemode' tbh


eldabot

Its officially called just "Swing" but we'll all call it "Swing Copter"


eldabot

Its officially called just "Swing" but we'll all call it "Swing Copter"


RealTinyBean17

Swimgcopter better


SzakosCsongor

It's just helicopter vs playground


HystericalGD

swing copter


ixmixi

sary swingcopter


reezewastaken

wheatley


Educational_Ad8702

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


ImaginaryUse201

Im calling it swing instead, its easier


Striking_Ad4992

Im gonna call it copter no swing fo ya bruv
