VSC Conservation

VSC Conservation or Vertical Speed Conservation Conservation is a glitch which lets Mario conserve stored vertical speed (VS) as a platform moves under him. By punching off the edge of a platform as it's moving, Mario remains in the punching action for 1 frame while the platform catches up to him. Since the platform is now under him, he continues his punching animation as if nothing happened. In the case of a rotating platform, this allows Mario to turn relative to the platform while maintaining stored VS, since he will be airbone and therefore not rotate for 1 frame while the platform does.
