Rudder reversal is when you go up and use the rudder to yaw the nose around. Your animation link is a vertical climb with a rudder reversal, the wing over in the USN video is more of an arc, it starts with a climbing turn and you roll into and out of it. The wing over description in my aerobatics link also is a roll into a climbing turn and again gravity pulls the nose down not the rudder.

All depends how tight you want to have it. You can help the wing over with the rudder or not. There's no prescribed radius for wing over (as long as you stay in the box).
In fact, high yo yo isn't all that different either.


Anyway, for the purpose of game play, any kind of top reversal is fine if executed at the right time and done quickly enough to get a shot.
