I am going to tweak wave dashing a bit to gel with my platfighter better. How does this sound?
Wavedashing is renamed Shieldashing, since instead of performing a wave dash with a dodge, you perform it by pressing Shield. Shielding is an even more important mechanic in this game since it is powered by your hypermeter, i e the meter used for performing enhanced special attacks and more powerful hypermax attacks. By using your shield, you lose meter energy to perform these special moves, so balance is needed to properly play this game. By simply tapping the shield button, you create a standard shieldash while holding it allowing you to end your shieldash with a shield. You can even exit your shield with a well-timed shieldash, allowing for some out-of-shield mobility. This combined with the DAMICA technique I discussed last post will definitely help my game feel more distinct from other plat-fighters. How does my change to wave-dashing sound?
