The Carpenter
Smash Apprentice
We've all done it far too often...you accidentally dash attack while trying to input an f-tilt or f-smash and get hardcore punished for using Luigi's literally worthless dash attack. Since this is something that inevitably happens sometimes, we should try to share ideas about what to try to do after performing that dash attack. For me personally, I go for one of two options that are both situational. Situation one is when I am in front of my opponent after the attack in which case I hold L so that I shield the very frame the attack ends and then start mashing A to try to get away with a grab out of it. 9 times out of 10 however, the opponent gets a grab before I do so I feel like I need a better option there. Situation two is when I am not close enough to the opponent to hit or grab them after the dash attack and I simply wavedash away from the opponent as soon as the attack finishes. This works as long as the opponent doesn't get a hit on you during your dash attack, in which case you are of course already on beat street. Wondering how others usually deal with those accidental dash attacks?
