Canceling Air Dodge Landing Lag

[Pikabunz]

For those who don't know, when you air dodge, you will have about 20 frames of landing lag the next time you land. While you cannot cancel the landing lag during an air dodge, you can cancel the landing lag after the end of an air dodge. All you have to do is use an aerial that has auto-cancel frames at the start of it right before you land. When done right, you won't have air dodge landing lag or aerial landing lag when you land. This will not work with all aerials. For example, with Link you will need to use uair or dair to cancel the lag.

This is good to know, thank you.

Just tried it with Mario's bair & Link's bair, works great. Very handy.

Awesome works great! Much better than run back and forth the new wavedash/AT. Actually useful stuff.

You really need to read up on why dash dancing and Wavedashing are useful if you think they aren't useful lol.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about "moondashing" and not melee's dashdance

Interesting, reminds me of Brawl's momentum canceling.

Let's hope it doesn't have similar results...

Bingo. I am not discrediting melee's advanced techniques or any good advanced techniques. I am just commenting on the abundance of perceived AT discoveries that are no more than trivial movements aimed at finding the next "wavedash". Oh and I almost forgot "LOL".

Fair enough. I misread it at the time. Though I wilk say all these silly names people come up with for new "AT" are hilarious. They have nowhere near the same practical application nor a good basis for where they come from. Wavedashing looks like marvel wavedashing. Dash dancing is unique to smash and was the only outlier in name. L cancelling stands for lag cancelling and one option for doing so so that made sense. A lot of newer names dont make sense.

Back before Brawl came out, someone discovered the "AT" tripping in the demo and called it ink dropping.
People are just so desperate to find something just to give it a stupid name.

New AT Discovered: Name Bombing

How to do:

1: Press random directions and buttons until something that looks abnormal happens.
2: Name it something nonsensical or rip of the name of an existing AT.
3: ???
4: Profit.

Can I haz fame now?

But in all some seriousness, and more on topic, awesome discovery. It's like a new L-Canceling. We could call it A-Canceling :trollface:

 

[kataridragon]

We should have a concensus among senate to name things based on what the AT actually does instead of arbitray names. Just saying.

Air dodge auto canceling. ADAC. Simple and explanatory in name.

 

[Senario]

All these people coming up with silly names for advanced techniques without understanding if itll have a practical application or how to use it.

This sounds like it will be extremely difficult to execute properly especially consistently. Basically if you perform the aerial too early you lose the invincibly of the air dodge and are open to attack, but do it too late and you'll suffer landing lag. The need to be frame perfect might be a bit of a stretch, but it's not too far from it either.

 

[The_Woebegone_Jackal]

This is something that people who used characters in Brawl with a zair should already be accustomed to. With a little adjustment, of course.

Sounds like it'll have its uses for sure.

Buffering tho. There is no need to be frame-perfect, just knowing which attack will cause the lag cancel.
