Cool things to do with MetaKnights gliding ability

[Zakosai]

Here are some things you can do with glide that you may find handy. Notice how when done properly, all of these glides only require 1 of your jumps. Useful in case you mess up on the way back!

Ive been trying to get better at this because all too often I find myself just a bit too low from the stage to get back on my last jump

EDIT: and I love the bonus clips at the end XD

How do you glide? 've always done it on accident, but now that i try to do it, i can never do it.

I always got pissed off that he would do the glide.

Just keep in the jump button

also, for some strange reason Ive found that I accidently glide when Im jumping in the air back and forth, trying to keep a good distance, its hard to explain but Ive gotten much better at not accidently doing that now

The reason you sometimes accidently glide is because another way to initiate the glide is to press back and forward quickly on the control stick.

I never use X or Y to jump, but now I instinctively hold it for my glide. It's a lot easier than using the control stick.

yea after some testing I came to that conclusion, I dont know why they put that in the game...

It's for those who don't use x or y as their primary jump button, Nintendo probably figured that the people who use up tap would think it to be easier for them to tap forward back. The combination is random though...
