Dash fakeout

[Zeallyx]

the vid shows the dash fakeout using falcon, but sonic can do it too.
the vid is found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOLL_xJ_DjA

How to perform this:

1 jump (SH/full jump, or even + second jump, doesn't matter how you get in the air.)
2 DI in to the directon you don't want to dash
3 as you land, your character will slide a little, wich is normal.
4 if you buffer a dash before phase 3, so it comes out during phase 3, the dash's range will be alot less.

Sonic almost dashes in place using this ^_^

...I can totally imagine me doing a SH, retreat, dash forward and when it screeches, I F-smash.

IM GONNA DO THIS.

Marth boards found this shortly after the sonic boards, but turns out you don't need to jump. If you walk in one direction, foxtrot in the other, you'll do a low or no acceleration dash followed by a slow run.

ZAD isn't a real dash. It's a foxtrot, because you don't get screech stop.

Thats not even close to being the same thing....

This is similar
This cause the character to move less distance with their dash.

The marth video shows how to slow down the dash or not to move with the dash.

This is something else.
This uses the 'landing slide of jumps'.
It is something else, and both require other ways of doing said shorter dash.

But what you posted is useful, but just different useful than this. As this to use as a fakeout, what you posted looks like it can better be used for insta turnarounds.

How exactly is this useful?

I'm not criticizing you or anything, but I'm having a hard time trying to think of a good use for this.

Can you shortdash back?
If so... wavedashish likeish tech anyone?

I do this all the time by accident... its really annoying when you want to hyphen smash and you just end up standing in place >_<

 

[thecatinthehat]

Jesus Christ stop posting lol.

I may have done this by accident.

 

[infomon]

lol you two

djbrowny's got a point tho..... I've been experimenting with upsmash lately.... a lot of the time I want to hyphen it and I'm just in place..... I wonder if this "AT" is the reason?? idk I'll have to review my matches I guess but yeah it is annoying.

Also, I should stop using Usmash. Like, ever.

I too sometimes try to do a maneuver, and end up going nowhere.

yes, that would be beast.

BTW, this isn't a real dash, it's a foxtrot. You can't screech stop out of it.
So it's not really a dash, just a shorter foxtrot.

Maybe I'm missing something but this seems like a worthless "tech."
