Are the Ink Drop and Crawling Related?

Think about it. Why would Sakurai implement the ink drop? He had a reason for changing air dodging and other similar changes, but this just doesn't make sense. No one was spamming...changing directions.

Now, if you watch the trailer in which Snake crawls (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/movies/movie02.html (also seen in the "Snake Joins the Brawl!" video)) he kind of does a flip/cartwheel and then falls down into the crawling position. If you watch the common gif of Yoshi performing an ink drop, he does a similar flip/cartwheel before he falls. My proposal is that you are able to either go into a crawl after that flip, or you can choose to just roll out of it, back into a standing position.

I was not at E4A and thus I have little information about the Ink Drop. I could be missing a piece to the puzzle but I seriously think that this makes sense. The reason no one could crawl in the demo was because Sakurai took it out of the demo, and thus, the only thing to do was fall (ink drop) or cancel it.

Actually you could crawl in the demo. If you're asking why would Sakurai give us a new advanced technique then thats another thing I'll address. Unless this thread gets locked.
