Dance-trotting, or Extended Dash-Dancing, is basically foxtrotting back and forth in such as fashion that allows you to turn in quicker succession than just foxtrotting back and forth normally. Players such as Fatality and Sol can be seen doing this frequently in their play style to juke out moves and return in for a quick punish. Maybe anyone who's done a tutorial on it can explain it better.
Anyways, this is a list of the easiest characters to try out Dance-Trotting. They're easier because their initial dash cannot be interrupted with another initial dash in the opposite direction, allowing the turn-around animation capable of triggering even at the end of the first initial dash's animation.
For some characters this is the best way to dash dance as their foxtrot is too long. Such as Robin, who has the longest dash sequence but one of the easiest dance-trots.
Some characters benefit more from alternating foxtrots due to having frame advantages over dance-trotting since they're able to revert back to idle position much faster and/or they cannot quickly/easily perform dance-trots, such as Cloud who benefits more from alternating foxtrots.
Some characters benefit more from simply waiting for their sliding to end from running before jerking to the other direction, like Palutena, whose alternating foxtrot is slower and dance-trot even more slow.
And a few benefit from simply turning back and forth while running, such as Sonic.
Anyways, here is the list of characters:
-Captain Falcon
-Donkey Kong
-Ganondorf
-Little Mac
-Lucina
-Marth
-Peach
-Robin
-Rosalina
-Roy
-Wii Fit Trainer
-Zelda
While technically any character can dance-trot, these are the characters that are the easiest to dance-trot with and benefit the most from it.
