The official Pivot Walking (and PW Crouching) thread.

[blackfox51]

are we witnessing a new AT in progress?
awesome, wish i could try this out
gotta ask though, does it seem fast enough to do in tourneys consistently?

 

[SuSa]

My wii is broken. Does this do anything good for Olimar?

He just gets the added benefit of people going "wtf", he makes a weird sound, he can do the pivot dtilt, and its just barely (maybe 1.2?) faster then his walk.

But who walks as Olimar?


@blackfox

For Marth/Sonic/Link/IC and a few others, yes it is. Very fast, very easy, takes about 5 minutes to master, and another 10~ to do the pivot tilts every time, etc.

 

[Kennahh]

The C-stick must also return to the center before it goes to the 45 degree angle again, I find it easiest to press A down with my index finger, then flick the C-stick with my thumb.

EDIT: You also don't smash this way. If you flick it too far back then you just start running, which is not as bad a punishment as the lag of a charging smash. Who knows, you might surprise them! :D

I'd say the wierd sound is worth it though, plus doing his D-tilt out of it would look hot. Also, if he slides a little bit, that would give him just a *little* more reach for his F-smash.

 

[Doopliss_Swe]

@ Kennahh

I do that too, but now i use Z for attack ;3

 

[HeroMystic]

You can set "attack" to one of the shoulder buttons or the Z button (which is what I have to do since I have tap jump off and have Jump for the L button to do Up-B OOS) instead of just holding down A. That seems to be a bit inconvenient.

Awesome, any kind of combos that it might lead into?
and i second the olimar question haha

I have R set to attack anyways xD and its easier. I reccommend doing this.

Also Part 1:

Still going through proccessing

 

[Kennahh]

Wow, Link and Marth go mad fast like this, Sonic also looks crazy while he's doing it and goes fast. Great find.

 

[PND]

Yeah, I have L as attack for DACUS anyway, so I just hold down L and Cstick as usual. This is sweet. Jiggs walk is almost as quick as her dash now. Plus she looks like a bunny when she does it.

 

[Steeler]

this looks absolutely hilarious

good job lol

 

[Doopliss_Swe]

And I think Jiggly looks really wierd while doing it, which could be seen as an addad bonus XD

 

[SuSa]

Try Fox.... hes just as insane, but its harder and less worth it.

and yes, Marth can now call Sonic slow... if they both walk :3


chars that look funny:

ROB
Jiggly
G&W

Part 2:

[PND]

It totally is. People will laugh too hard to be able to fight it.

I think Wario's looks pretty funny too.

 

[Kennahh]

Meta Knight looks like a ballerina, twirling on his tiptoes...
If you ever plan on doop walking as Meta Knight, make sure to be Metro Knight.

That's why I wanted to call it the Ballerina Dance (and I do in my commentary )

I thought so too, actually, R.O.B is kind of my inspiration for this, I saw a member of the swedish nintendo forum called Pikamaxi spin with R.O.B in this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne__Dz4HuK4 at 0:22, and i found it to look so awesome, so I practiced to wiggle the control stick just to be able to do that XD

 

[Darth Waffles]

Nice find... the video above at :22 looks sweet. Too bad it doesn't work when running or it would really impact turnaround speeds and the metagame overall. ROB's animation is almost like a choppy, slow-mo version of doing the spin when running versus doing it when walking.

It still looks very flashy though, and I like it

 

[Doopliss_Swe]

The above video is not the thing, though, just my inspiration.

 

[Marsu]

I'm going to try this out, it sounds interesting.............

 

[Kennahh]

I'm not exactly an ICs kind of guy, but you know you can have the AI controller climber move while doing a F-smash, right?

 

[ndayday]

I fixed the animation so it says "doop"

Heres the direct link so all you have to do is put

around it.

As for the doop itself, Jiggly looks hilarious doing it. (like many of you have said) Just out of curiousity, how did you find this? Were you just messing around and randomnly did it, and posted it?

 

[Remzi]

Haha, Yea Marths was awesome using the other method. It looks even better this way! Can't wait to try it out.

 

[Santi]

Toon Link is fun
=)
I changed my R button to attack.

Updating with times atm.

 

[ndayday]

Thanks for the vids Havokk. I'm watching them right now...the sound the controller makes is kind of soothing wouldn't you say?

Mario has a pretty fast one, same with Zelda. So this would also be seen as in-between walking and running speed too, plus all the cool stuff it can lead to.

 

[SuSa]

You could always pause and it would help a bit more, but the actual Doop Walk doesn't need a pause (see Marth)

Grades are up, I'll worn on the timings over time (not that important)

 

[blackfox51]

nice vids, i think Sethlon has done this before in a match, just slower
could make for a weird version of wavedashing

 

[SuSa]

Only problem with that:

1. You can't really slide backwards while facing forwards
2. Not really anything like wavedashing xD but still useful nontheless.

3. Seriously :3 go to 3:48~ in vid 2 and look at Marth's... its a godsend

 

[blackfox51]

yeah i saw that, and i main marth, probably could be a good spacing or mindgame tool

have you tried doop walking back and forth, almost like a dash dance?

 

[Doopliss_Swe]

It might work. I tried to use it as a way to turn faster when walking, and that worked, so probably.

 

[SuSa]

Yea, you go in a circle. It's a little hard but it'd make a great mindgame if your opponents never seen Doop Walking.

 

[Doopliss_Swe]

which the majority shouldn't have done yet XD

 

[da K.I.D.]

somebody make this useful for sonic pls?

the IC desynch vid was sweet

 

[PND]

3. Seriously :3 go to 3:48~ in vid 2 and look at Marth's... its a DOOPsend

Fixed. lol

 

[SuSa]

It is useful for Sonic, look at this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dAJY2XSdks and look near the end (last person)

It's faster then his walk, and he can do tilts in any direction out of it, dash grab, etc.

 

[Doopliss_Swe]

It's good with Luigi if you DW once, then let go of A and dsmash.

EDIT: LOL XD try pressing forawd down on C instead of up back :3 the character crouches briefly, then returns to standing position

 

[JOBOT]

does peach have a good doopwalk?... i cant get on wii right now to try it

 

[blackfox51]

i predict in one month that doop walking will be a necessary tactic at most tourneys, if not, you will be seeing the pros use it
