not sure if this has been commented on by anyone else yet.

I found a fun little technique with marth today. Instead of fully dashing i repeated jammed the stick forward and released, kind of like a pulsed dash. By doing so Marth would go a distance, then it would begin the dashing frames from the begining. By doing so I was able to keep around full dash speed. It was almost like a dash-pulse sequence.
The bonus of this odd technique is that at the begining of each dash-pulse sequence there was a frame in which marth was completely upright in a neutral standing position. From this position i could execute any type of attack, straight out of dashing. It takes some good timing and anticipation to be effective, but it is useful to surprise an opponent with a smash attack seemingly right out of a dash.

I have not yet looked to see if this is possible with many other characters as of yet

Yea.. it sounds like you "discovered" fox trotting with a dash cancel smash?

Welcome to the Marth boards. Next time go to the Q&A or Discussion thread to talk about things like this.

By the way...

The pulsating dashes you are doing is known as "Fox Trotting".
