OHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOD, that is so amazingly amazing. I need to so practice that.
JK, I use this all the time. Good for surprises, and alternating grab and ftilt is great for mind games.
Ftilt gets you range, grab for the shield.

I knew how to do it before u posted the vid, but this will surely help others who want to use it. I really use F-tilt when doing this. Though I dont use it much, it may catch others offguard.

I just want to point out an Angelic Step mindgame. You know how you can go from the Angelic Step into a break dance turn around pivot thing. Well, the mind games is when you interrupt the pivots with another Angelic Step>pivoting. So when your opponent thinks they hit you because you are open with the Pivots, you just Sidestep and continue on. Just thought Id point that out.

that is pretty epic, does ti count as your urnning while you are sliding forward, and is there any lag on the move anywhere where there shouldn't be tat would prevent you form attacking out of it

This sure looks like it will be a lot of fun.

I don't think so because you are not running. So you have free rein to do whatever you want in the pivots. Angelic Mind games!! ^_^

As the AiB/SWF idiomatic expression goes, this will make Pit godly. Hehe. (By "godly," I bet many who say this mean "god-like.")

Also I want to point out that doing this into a grab will give you a bigger range due to the "pivot grab" system
Good eye. Plus opponents are more prone to shield when they see you do this after having fallen for let's say the Angelic Step F-tilt. ^_^

Funny thing, I just implemented this into my game after reading when this was first posted. My friends just dropped their controllers in awe because their starting to realize how my Pit is becoming more and more dangerous.
It's fun to intimidate with this sly little cherub. Thanks for the find, Undr. You guys make Pit worth playing so much more. ^____^ b

I've learned about that first hand. My first ever tourney match was against Mew2King. Needless to say, after learning who he was, I froze up and lost horribly. Now, I know I can put up a fight. Regardless of who anyone might be.
I remember back when I was better then Mew2King... That sure didn't last long. In the end you've either got it or you don't. It's a cruel way to put it but that's the case. If you're a veteran and you're still getting intimidated... I won't tell you to give up, but at the very least accept the fact you won't get any better. KuroX it's good to hear you're just starting. Keep this in mind as you continue to develop yourself as a competitive fighter. ^_^

Your words of encouragement will help me along the way. I'll keep this in mind and keep on growing. So, long as you keep on throwing out new things for me to learn. Hahaha =P

woa, that's cool. Could I use that after every spotdodge and basically do a running grab afterwards to close in on the attacker? talk about awesome...
hey, what's this look like used in succession one after the other? angelic step>running spotdodge into an angelic step? wonder how fast you'd go.

You mean Angelic stepping? Pit does it best, but Bowser has a way of doing a short one.

Link can do it, Falco, Mario is really bad... but Pit absolutely does it the best. Check out some possibilities this has with a video I recently posted in Sagemoons thread of the Angelic Step.
Undr: Why don't you post my vid in this one as well? It would be convienient having it in both threads about it

It does take some practice. You'll get it.

Dtilt is really tough and Utilt is really easy btw but practice is the key. Even more practice is needed to integrate this seamlessly in your game.

So there IS a difference?

If Undr says so there is.
The server killed my response. v_v
Anyway yeah there is a slight difference. Out of the SlideStep you do indeed go further. This is far more evident with Ganondorf then with Pit as his Pivot Slide isn't as impressive as his Demonic Step. The Angelic Step is just a variation of the Buffered Pivot Slide anyway. I was sorta afraid to give it a different name until I saw that it did in fact go further the Pit's normal Pivot Slide.

lol, No I did it with every move possible. Did you get to the end? It has some cool combos and chains. Look at the video description for times.
Hold it.

Angelic stepping looks like a slide, while sidestep is simply a way of dodging attacks.
Angelic stepping is a good thing to learn. On occasions it can catch ur opponent by surprise.

alright im still having issues with this, after you sidestep, you hold back (for how long?) then you press forward (directly after holding back?) jsut need to know the timings for it, probably teh smae reason i still cant wingdash
