'''Vertical Speed Conservation''' (VSC) is a technique that takes advantage of the fact that certain actions do not reset Mario’s vertical speed to 0 when landing. Furthermore, there are a few ground actions that also have this property. If Mario can then leave the ground without overwriting the stored vertical speed, he can effectively reactivate his speed gained prior to landing.<ref>Vertical Speed Conservation: https://youtu.be/6md3RA8bH40</ref> | '''Vertical Speed Conservation''' ('''VSC''') is a technique that takes advantage of the fact that certain actions do not reset Mario’s vertical speed to 0 when landing.

'''Vertical and Horizontal Speed Conservation''' (VHSC), conserving both horizontal speed and vertical speed at once, occurs when Mario lands on the platform and immediately falls off on the next frame, putting Mario at a falling state but with horizontal speed intact. It can be achieved by having the floor under Mario disappear or move out, which float-to-short imprecisions can also cause. | '''Vertical and Horizontal Speed Conservation''' ('''VHSC'''), conserving both horizontal speed and vertical speed at once, occurs when Mario lands on the platform and immediately falls off on the next frame, putting Mario at a falling state but with horizontal speed intact.
