Dashing vs. Walking

Exia 00 · Mar 4, 2009

Well, I played a lot of people in the last few days and I was experimenting with snake. I noticed that it seemed like I could pull out my shield faster when I walk. When I dash, I gain forward momentum but the shield comes out slightly slower. Is this true ?

If it is, which one is the safest choice ?

I am a Snake main

you can't shield immediately when you dash, additionally you retain more options when walking. usually you want to walk while your enemy is in a solid position, you can run to chase them more once you've hit them with something and they're at a disadvantage, but generally you want to camp a lot as snake anyway

Walk unless they are in hitstun /far enough away to not punish a run.

Walk - 89%

Run - 6%

Mortaslide - 5%

Fixed =P.

Just kidding, but I do tend to mortar slide alot, mainly to get myself away from chain grabberss.

i think it depends on the matchup. for example, for sonic i ussually walk toward them when they're in their b animation. for falco and fox i generally crouch and crawl.

for everyone else i stand still and spam nades

that's more like how I play
mortarslide is overrated
dash attack, now that's the business

mortar slide is a beast approach. I use alot of the dash attack too. Except on CGers like DDD and Falco

walking? I'm usually doing the dash and ending with shield when I move, idk why. Running is kinda useless, why run when you cal slide fastahhh

Walk - 30%

I run all the time <_<

I also shield stop a lot.

[Above percentages may or may not be accurate as it is 2:30am right now and that makes my judgement a little questionable]

Walk unless you're persuing an opponent from a distance, but in that instance a spaced mortar slide can work better.

Walk 50%

Run 50%

Slide 10%

I always give 110%...! /clichè

winner xD

me:
walk= 40%
run= 40%
mortaslide= 20%

i mortaslide a lot at the start, then i camp if they don't over camp me, and then walk for the tilt kill

Winnar · Apr 6, 2009

Oh I forgot I also crawl sometimes. If I'm fighting Falco or Fox I like to crawl around <_<

I also sometimes crawl under hitboxes, like if I fight ganon I'll just run up next to him, shield stop, and then duck under a jab or whatever to u-tilt or something. Once they start figuring it out and hitting me and I start losing then I do other things but it's still funny :o

Oh man it used to be:

Mortarslide 50% o_0
Walk: 10%
Run: 40%

Thats when I first learned how I play him lol

Now its

Mortarslide: 15%
Walk: 55%
Run 30%

Slide is totally overated but has its uses. I just like to take it slow and walk it makes it easier for me to think and do my thing

Bakithi · Apr 7, 2009

I used to have a pretty pro balance of all three.

Then I became a nub with Snake.

For some reason, now all I do is roll, and whenever I hit my opponent off the stage, I automatically mortar slide in their direction.

I'm such a noob. -_-"

Wow, this Wolf signature makes me seem out of place posting at the Snake boards...

_Phloat_ · Apr 7, 2009

I dunno, its not like they are punishing you for that mortar slide while they are offstage...
