PPMD's WaveSurfing

[Im Fragbait]

I looked at this awhile back and it puzzled me as im a falco player and my wave dashes dont look this smooth and fluent. ALSO the distance PPMD gets on his wave dashes is ridiculous. I heard it was called a wavesurf but i cant find any tutorials on it can someone please tell me how to do this or link me to a tutorial

Around 2:20

Around 1:51

PLS HALP ME OUT

Wavedashes can be different lengths. To make them longer you want the angle of your stick to be as close to horizontal as possible without actually being horizontal. Also wavelands can be even longer than wavedashes if done perfectly, and they are done with a perfectly horizontal angled air dodge as you land on the ground.

I understand that however it seems as if he gets way more distance than any wavedash falco could ever have. Ive heard that he dashes before hand or something to lengthen the wavedash. but that doesnt explain how he easily switches direction and seems to have no problems wave dashing and dash dancing, what seems to be, at the same time.

Well you can wavedash out of a dash and therefore out of a dashdance. Hes just doing really good wavedashes.

Yeah alternating dash animation with wavedashes is called wavesurfing. It's where Falco runs forward in his dash but then you wavedash to make him go super quick and/or allow you to react to things on like a really quick, constant check - up basis. You should go Dash -> Wavedash -> D-> WD etc.

Everyone can do that dash-wavedash thing. People who play chars with super high traction like Link and Ganon get good at it because it's the only way they can make their WD mean anything. I've never heard of it being called wavesurfing.

No problem, there's plenty other good film on the interwebs about Falco, Fox, or really any other character. Just do a quick search on YouTube if you haven't already.

You know, I've watched the channel before, but never seen that video. So no, I'm afraid not...

I think PPMD masters this part of the game (Fluid movement) better than any other player by far. Especially his marth

Maybe he should be recruited by team liquid. After all, his name is Dr. *PEEPEE*
