Ducking... a switch?

[Tera253]

it's a theory: has ducking been made into something you can do on and off?
ie: you duck, and then press left ro right to crawl.
the reson this was brought up was because we all saw Link crouching with hiw bow out right? exactly. 'nuff said.
so: true or false?
or stupid.

[TakDragon7]

Hmm...that's self explanatory right there.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I'll say it's stupid

 

[drewdizzal]

I'll say it's stupid

I second that

 

[CStrife187]

there's only one way to find out... Buy Brawl when it comes out and read the instruction manual!

 

[Wrench]

It looks like there will be something like that to me. I saw wario and pikachu kinda crawling too in the videos if my memory strikes me right

 

[raptorbaby10]

Hope for an answer in one of Sakurai's posts sometime.

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

I second that

thirded. Crawling is a ******** idea.

 

[Takalth]

thirded. Crawling is a ******** idea.

Uh...Was there a retraction of the second trailer that I never heard about?

Fact: Crawling is in Brawl. The only questions are "How do you do it?" and "What good is it?"

The original post theorized on an answer to the first which is perfectly likely and would be easier to control than angling your control stick or most of the others ideas which were suggested right after the release of the second trailer.

I don't get why people are calling this stupid, unless they've never seen the second brawl trailer.

 

[Tera253]

truth be told. guess the people calling the idea stupid are nubz.
~Tera253~

 

[Toasty!]

Pay attention guys! Wario, Snake, Link, and Pikachu were shown crawling in the second trailer.

Another question is "Can all characters do it, like Wall Jump in Melee?:

 

[Tera253]

good point. Tera can't really imagine Kirby, Zelda, or Mewtwo crawling.
~Tera253~

 

[Toasty!]

Maybe Kirby would Roll.

 

[v3x?]

kirby's crawl would be broken lol, talk about finally getting a way around falco's lasers lol

 

[Tera253]

assuming Kirby can. remember the wall-jumping bit.
~Tera253~

 

[v3x?]

idd, by saying it would be broken was meant to imply i hope they dont put it in lol

 

[soaz]

kirby's crawl would be broken lol, talk about finally getting a way around falco's lasers lol

hahaha lol that was a good one.

 

[TheManaLord]

Stupid .

 

[HideousBeing]

kirby's crawl would be broken lol, talk about finally getting a way around falco's lasers lol

Wrong. Falco's SHFF lasers can hit Kirby when he's ducking. It ain't easy for me, but it can be done. Reference any Falco vids in his thread.

Maybe Sakurai wanted to include crawling exactly for that purpose- to avoid fox blaster spammers, samus super missile spammers, OR FALCO PLAYERS WHO CAN'T SHFF LASERS SO THEY HAVE TO REMAIN GROUNDED AND SHOOT SPAMMERS.

 

[Feryx]

Ya know what could be more broken? Samus' crawl: morph ball.

 

[Creo]

Although I could be wrong, I think crawling will just be for a n00b thing. I really can't see us advanced players crawling around.

 

[v3x?]

im sure someone like ken would find a pretty efficent way to use crawling lol. Prolly a safer edgegarding tactic or something...

 

[Creo]

Yeah like I said before...we will fine crawldashing!

 

[Sonicfan813]

Yeah like I said before...we will fine crawldashing!

Oh no, just no....

 

[Zander805]

what would the point of crawl dashing be? when u wd u are already ducking, u just have to hold down..

 

[Fastinyoh]

You guys don't even know how to crawlguard.

 

[thesage]

Lol! Peach, Zamus, and Zelda crawling would be... AWESOME!!!!

 

[Toasty!]

Lol! Peach, Zamus, and Zelda crawling would be... AWESOME!!!!

Give this man an award.

 

[Green Shell]

So it's basically already prooven that crawling is used in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
A use for it will definately be found, as some of you said: maybe for avoiding spammed projectile moves.

Or an even more useful reason:
Just for the hell of it.

 

[Fastinyoh]

Crawling will be necessary for movement when playing as Baby Mario or Bowser Jr.

 

[HideousBeing]

I wonder if when crawling you will be DIing downward. I suspect crawling will be like mobile CCing.

 

[Takalth]

It would explain why Pika was crawling through the cars in the second trailer instead of using a quicker way of getting through.

 

[DonkeyPirate]

yeah, I think it will be one of those gimicky things that players use to toy around with. It can be useful against projectile users, unless their projectiles allow them to move freely like some of the items do. But it will be like when I am schooling my friends with Pichu and I crouch to take a nap since he falls asleep heh.

 

[MastaWeeji]

They could have certain areas only reachable if you crawl through a space... but i'd think that would only be true in a one player adventure mode. As to uses in battle, the only think i could see is getting close to a projectile spamming enemy. Also, if they are introducing this feature maybe they are going to change the height of the gunshots so that all characters would be able to crawl underneath the shots. I don't see how that would work for bowser though...lol. As to how to do a crouch, it makes sense to make it Down and slightly forward on the stick. It shouldn't crawl for tilting too much forward, or that will take away from the f-tilt downward mod attacks.

Same. Which means doing it towards peach is suicide

Where we see solid snake and wario crawling back-to-back

Pay attention guys! Wario, Snake, Link, and Pikachu were shown crawling in the second trailer.

quite. . .

and snake-in-a-box never was a 'standing' thing either

 

[Convuls1on]

All I can picture is Wario getting shot in the rear because his butt is so huge.

 

[schep]

I would love to see a new strategy involving crawling implemented into SSBB... it probably is in the game anyways (we've all seen the trailers)... don't be afraid of change

-Ypeace-Y-

 

[Arc2012]

This has probably already been discussed in another thread, but whenever I am wavedashing (or attempting to) I hold the control stick down and at a slight angle. If that is how you crawl, would you just go into a crawl instead of sliding when you hit the ground? It seems like a switch of some kind would stop that and the problem with forward down tilts.

I'm a noob so this post is probably stupid.

 

[THK]

Depends on how it's done. What it's uses are and if anything can be done out of it.
