Glide Toss Lengths [UPDATED JUNE 11: Glide Toss "Tiers" ]

[pure_awesome]

Coming from a Falco main who likes playing ISP, I second AZ's notion. The only thing I've ever used it for is as a setup with bananas for Upsmash, or to throw them quickly out of shield (which everyone can do.)

I'd much rather have a glide toss like Diddy's.

The Listing is based solely of off distance. Yes, I agree that medium length GTs are better for space control.

I'll be sure to add that note in the next update.

EDIT: Actually I'll add that now.

I've gotten marth's forward glide toss to go quite far before. Usually happens when i forward glide out of a dash: Dash Tap, reset stick to neutral, quickly glide toss before stopping. I've gotten marth's forward toss to go roughly the same distance as his reverse, although this is including the distance covered by the initial dash. i think theres a specific frame that will cause marth's forward glide to go maybe a length of 3ish. or it has something to do with the momentum from the dash being conserved when the roll is cancelled. eitherway its worth looking into as it gives marth 2 distinct forward lengths, 3 when a quick pivot -> reverse glide is considered.

I did some testing following similar guidelines to the OP's, and I can say with relative certainty that all of Zelda's glide tosses are of comparable length to Pit's. They do require a bit of timing however, and with incorrect timing the results currently posted are observed.

Nice very nice.

Yea it would be kool if TL could glide toss =D

lol why is luigi's back reverse so huge!?!

 

[BurningCrusader777]

Because Luigi has rockets on his feet.

No but in all seriousness, it's because he has an insanely low traction, thus he'd slide far in most cases. It makes me wonder why all of his aren't 6+ slides, and again I have to go back and test when I have more time on me.

I can understand that we might need this information, but I feel like you wasted your time on the thread because not that many people are going to remember. =( Good effort of course.

I wasn't expecting anyone to memorize this whole thing lol. It's a reference list, after all. Though it would be good to know the ones that actually have Glide Tosses. :D

Zelda has two glide toss lengths dependant on timing. With strict timing, she gets a glide toss as long as her item throw. With delayed timing, she gets the glide toss length described in the OP.

It doesn't matter that Link can't glide toss, he can bomb slide which is just as good just harder. Maybe you could put the fact that he can do this as a reference. He can also do faint outs which other characters can't but I can't do that
