Hey guys! I figured this out in the wake of the whole Bidou thing. I screwed around with a bunch of characters, found out I didn't like Bidou, so just went with playing around with Shulk instead. Interestingly, if you do a perfect pivot with Mr. Monado, and you time it just at the right time, a Forward Smash can start, while allowing Shulk to continue his perfect pivot momentum. This is usually reserved for up/down smashes on other characters, but in Shulk's case, I felt this was extremely beneficial for abusing his already massive range, and an unpredictable retreat/approach option to boot!
I'm sure I'm not the first to find this, so please feel free to let me know if this is widely known/used, but I haven't seen a thread about the sliding forward smash in particular anywhere.
Below is a very simple video showing a bit of a how-to, and some of its applications from my games yesterday.
