Wavedash (Vid)

[ph00tbag]

The input takes longer than pressing R. Why wouldn't you powershield?
Not to mention that moving backwards like that would only really benefit a character with a long disjointed hitbox, a category in which crawling characters do not fall under.

ZSS and Lucario, at the very least, say hi.

Not that any character gets much distance or would have much use for this anyway.

I wonder if Squirtle can crawldash after shellshift. That's the only practical use I'd find for it in my case.
Gotta try it.

Looks like it will only work on low-traction characters. I haven't tried it out yet though.

I myself have seen the wavedash but instead of crouching you just need to run in one direction then turn in the opposite and release the joystick.

So far I've tried it with falcon. Not to sure if it's been made out already nor do I know how effective it can be as yet.

I just tried this and when I actually do it right it's really cool. Not sure if it will become really useful but it seems like it has potential. If I could do it consistently I would have a better idea of its usefulness. Good find here.

@ RaynEX
of course this doesnt change the game. nonetheless, it still is another option for movement.
powershielding may be a more viable choice.. but i sure would rather have at the very least, 2 different options to change up my game. I dont want to stick with the same exact strategy and become more predictable.

Guys I think im gonna add a new vid tonight. It'll have some new stuff and hopefully some application.

If we use this to counter-attack, I think it should be called the crouch counter (CC)
And the crouch counter may make for some interesting defensive mind games.
CC into a misfire FTW?
