Crawling

[Kio Iranez]

I'd say it's kind of obvious that Crawling was implemented into the game 'cause of Snake. Do you think there'll be any practical uses for it?

[SolidSonic]

There were will be use for it in the single player campaign, especially when playing as Snake.

Don't know about regular combat..

[SenorPresidente]

It seems like it will be pointless in battle. I am guessing you will be able to disarm land mines set by opponents.

[PsychoIncarnate]

Why does this topic remind me of Linkin Park...


Hmm...Does Samus turn into Morph ball when she "Crawls"

or Spider Ball

[Kio Iranez]

Apparently, not everyone crawls. =(

CRAAAAWLING IIIIN MMY SKIIIIIN!! THESE WOUNDS, THEY WILL NOT HEAL!

Reminded me of that too. Maby if Samus fired her Zero lazer on a plat and it almost hit the bottom of the map, you could crawl under it!

[Formless]

I guess it'd be a lower crouch, and that'd be its use in combat. Unless some stages had specific crawling areas, or something like that.

[Dagingabreadman]

obviously, if you arent a ****in giant like bowser, crawling could be used to duck under projectiles (some)

[DonkeyPirate]

well, you could always use it to aproach a shl or something. but then there is always i dunno.. jumping

[Duality]

Who knows, it might unleash an advanced technique that people will abuse.

[Silent_Hill_Crossing]

Well, this is kind of the same question I asked myself.

I mean it's obvious you could dodge projectiles with it. I'm not sure if it's possble but maybe you can dodge Yoshi's Final Smash (Fire Balls anyway) with it. Although I doubt such a thing.

All in all we'll need to know more about the new mechanics introduced before drawing any real conclusion from it.

[Wight]

that reminds me, can you move while you crouch? since i recall having the impression wario was doing that. or was that some retarded looking walk or crawl? that guy is so weird..

[Evil E.]

Is crawling Confirmed for ALL characters? Because i just cant see ppl like Sonic, Mario, Pokemon Trainer, and them crawling.. Snake looks awesome when he crawls defines his character alot.

Pokemon Trainer is never in your control on the field of battle.

[Titan05]

Pokemon Trainer is never in your control on the field of battle.

ZING! nice

[Silent_Hill_Crossing]

The idea of Charizard, or MK crawling on the ground makes me laugh. XD


But I'm guessing with exception to PT [Which is replaced by his Pokemon] most anyone else can crawl. Although don't quote me on this.

[gtkdltk007]

Characters that have crawled in previous games: Snake, Mario, Diddy Kong, Wario (trailer), Ivysaur, Squirtle. Those characters have the traits of crawling characters, or just have crawled. I cdant imagine seeing Peach or the Ice CLimbers crawl, let alone Charizard, Zelda, or PEach.

Not all characters can crawl in the demo of Brawl. Anyway, since wavedashing is out, it might have a place in the metagame when it properly forms.

[Mckillyou]

Crawling would be actually rather helpful, when people shoot projectiles (Fox for example) you can just crawl under their shots.

[Dr.Saturn]

I think it will be like crouch canceling just you can move while you do it now

[Loranga]

what if there was maybe another moveset for when crawling....just a thougt. or like 1 b attack and 1 A attack.

[Animal control]

crawling would be useful when playing against Falco

[Chepe]

Yoshi and DK have crawled in some form in their games too. DKC and Yoshi's Story. But for some reason I dont think they will be able to in Brawl...

[Samus543]

Crawling will make you a smaller target, obviously.
i can imagine samus turning into a Morph Ball and dodging a Nikita Missile from Snake.

[Eternal Yoshi]

Possible. Wavedashing is out, so they may find an alternative next year a few months after the game is out. As of now, don't worry about it.

[G-star101]

You never know crawling might come in useful;)

[Sailyfee]

I think that crawling will help progress in Snake's subspace stage, if he's gonna have one.

[nf0x]

I think something along these lines would make the most sense. It will have to have some evasion property(s) that separate it from dodging, rolling and shielding.

Smash needs to be heavier on mechanics, and I for one think crawling, whatever it ends up doing, is a step in the right direction.

[gtkdltk007]

IN Metal Gear, Snake crawled over land mines to pick them up and disable them. If he ran twoards them, then they blew up. I'm assuming that he'll have apurpose in the Subspace Emissary, where he'll have to crawl to avoid mines.

[ComradeCanada]

Actually, I've played as Samus against Sheik, where Sheik had to duck to avoid a missile barrage. I can see crawling being useful there.[/COLOR]

[kin3tic-c4jun-3]

That's true Comrade (lol I enjoy adressing you like that..), and I've been saying the same thing before.

Speaking of mines, I can picture those things becoming GREAT edge-gaurding tools...

:psycho:

I remember Wario doing some sort of crawl using his hands and feet. It's possible that all the characters can now move while they crouch.

[W.Jr]

i'm positive there is some use of that move.

[Envy]

Well so far theres Snake, Wario, Pika....I'm sure characters like Mario(all around...except gliding), Luigi and I think Gimpy said Bowser can crawl too. I'm not too sure on Bowser though....

yeah gimpy said bowser can crawl, he also said giga bowser can crawl

lol what's the point of that?!

[Turtlefox]

Maybe crawling is the cure for lackofwavedashing... cause like can't you crawl backwards? That can be a sorta substitute for wavedashing?

[Envy]

I think we were all thinking just too hard. Crawling is probably just going to be for dodging projectiles(lasers, super scope, missles etc.).

[G-X]

Did anyone else catch that Snake's "rolling dodge into crawl" animation is taken directly from MGS2? I love little touches like that.

[abit_rusty]

Crawling is just a new approach.

[SSBBKingster]

Crawling is useful in combat. Useful for under attacks
