wavelanding:whats it for?

[drago980]

hello everyone
wavelanding is a technique u rarely use in battle(for me anyway). does anyone know when to use it and how???

 

[FastFox]

On the contrary. Wavelanding is very commonly used during battle, and can benefit your play in numerous ways.

It acts as a way to psych out the opponent, and space yourself for certain moves, such as a smash or a grab.

 

[alcheato]

On stages like Dream Land and Battlefield you can use (although I rarely do) to lure your opponent into trying to sweetspot the ledge and then wavelanding backwards off the platform to grab the ledge before your opponent, you can use it to transition into an aerial when you're near a platform, or you can use it to recover from a ledge and into a grab or attack.

I don't think you completely know what "wavelanding" refers to.

Wavelanding is jumping (whether it be a full jump or short hop), and landing the jump with a wavedash in either direction.

 

[Airo]

slower jumping characteres rely much more on wavelanding rather than wavedashing.
wavelanding makes transitions between platforms uber unpredictably sexy =]

 

[BrTarolg]

wavelanding is used for moving around platforms quickly, for recovering onto the stage, and for various bits of spacing.

thats about it.

Yes, I know exactly what wavelanding refers to, but perhaps I explained badly.

 

[Luigi Ka-master]

Wavelanding is way too awesome. It's at least as cool as regular wavedashing, if not more cool.

And with some characters, it adds an awesome combo-ability game. AKA Luigi's f-air, to a waveland d-smash, into another aerial. Landing after the f-air, and then wavedashing would be waaay too slow. And slow's not what we're about. >.>

 

[Nihonjin]

When you jump people follow your character and (unconsciously) calculate where you're going to land.
When you waveland you screw up those calculations by not being where they expect you to be, so you create an element of suprise.
How you use this to your advantage?
You'll have to figure that out yourself.

 

[drago980]

wow thats a lot of advice. thanks for everyone who posted something up here. i guess wavelanding isnt so pointless after all.

 

[*Keil*]

simple.. mind games an for some characters it increases der maneuverbility by a nice amount.

 

[drago980]

wow nihonjin that was some good advice

 

[drago980]

another question: when is the right time to use wavedash?

 

[Mythos]

I think this move is most useful if you play with fox :D
Shorthop in your oponnents direction, fastfall, wavelandig back,wavedash back
and again.
Nobody can stand this ...

another question: when is the right time to use wavedash?

Mainly for spacing and mind games. You'll need to try it out a lot to determine when the best times to use it is.


My favorite thing to do with new techniques is to -overuse- them in friendlies to learn when to use them and when not to use them.

 

[Gelton]

I think bombsoldier used the waveland to shine a couple times in those JGT vids, very cool mindgame =) Not to mention the coolest looking shine combo, ever.

 

[The Plumber13]

There is a different timing for the waveland rather than a normal wavedash how much of a difference is there in that timing

 

[Wilhelmsan]

The timing is inherently different. Just try airdodging into the ground, then gradually work the angle into a near-horizontal slide.

 

[Trespayne]

Yeah, wavelanding definitely has good uses. One good thing is to just jump a little away from your opponent then waveland towards them and grab or quick smash. It always catches them by suprise and gives you a good combo chance. Also like Ka-Master said, you can use it to attack then waveland away quickly then wavedash towards them after that because they most likely smash attacked and missed leaving them open for another attack. Just play around with the waveland a little and you will start finding a lot of uses for it on your own too.

 

[ximrekcuf]

Waveland is useful, expecially on platforms? platform dash or however it is called.

 

[Ronin686]

Wavelanding is used for basically the same things as regular wavedashing.

That is, mind games and spacing.

 

[Eaode]

Play Luigi, and you'll learn the uses of wavelanding
EDIT: Ka-Master was already here >_>

 

[Earthbound360]

Play Luigi and Doc and you will see.

 

[Luck-NYC/NJ]

Its Clearly For Mindgames And Its Fun!!!!!!!

 

[Eaode]
