Did anyone try this at the demo?

[Itakio]

I had an idea that maybe wavedashing could possibly be in to a more useless degree, but anyway, did anyone try to do a platform drop and then air-dodge immediately after? Maybe this would slide you across the platform like the wavedash effect did.

No flames about whining for wavedashing in Brawl, I'm okay with it, but really the purpose I had in mind for this thread was to create speculation or just to get my original question answered.

Even if you did that, it would not be a wavedash.

The game physics have changed, you can't do a diagonal air dodge, so u can't do a wavedash. End of story.

I mean if you were running, then pressed down to do a platform drop with your momentum intact (I'm not sure if it cancels momentum though *shrug*), then immediately do an air dodge, then maybe it would still think of you as above the stage and thus hit the ground at a near-horizontal angle.

im pretty sure it would cancel your momentum as it did in the previous games

Just a question about the new air dodge that doesn't deserve its own thread--does it still have the same effect when you land mid-dodge? Like the clouds or whatever?

 

[baheffron]

I was wondering that too, garbage. I'm assuming it does but it would be nice to have some confirmation.

Please check Gimpyfish's stickied thread, the epitome of all that is E for All research for that answer. Or even ask it there and not make a new thread.
