I know rohins also saw this

i'm pretty sure the "forward wavedash" is just continually interrupting a walk with crouch. The backwards wavedash requires too much input, imo, for it to be applicable when given the tiny tiny window to dtilt someone. I think dash true pivot dtilt or even bomb di crouch cancel dtilts are more effective, at least, based on my personal experience.

When I first read the title of this thread, I was thinking, "Is this going to be about z-air?" When I saw this video, I thought, "Nice. I'm going to have to see how well this works."

How do you perform this technique? From what I gathered from you people it's done by walking and then crouching or something?

 

[0RLY]

My conclusion:
-- Samus' crouch is too high to duck under anything, except maybe zss' mistimed aerials.
-- Walking has the same or greater speed than this trick.
-- The only benefit of this trick is to space dtilt or a bomb, but a bomb used on the ground is generally already used for spacing. So technically, you're spacing a spacing move. Useless.
-- It's walking then using the momentum from the walk to perform a sliding crouch.
-- The distance you slide is pretty small, and not that easy to control (think Zelda's wavedash in melee).
-- Walking is better.
-- Forward slide: left>crouch.
-- Backward slide: right>crouch>left.

Sorry if I ruined anybody's hopes and dreams

tht was the stupidest video i've ever seen. in no wayis tht even useful unless for some weak mindgames.. tht entire time while samus is playing around pit coould have just been spamming arrows or something. no one should waste their time using this

I was pretty excited when I first found out about it but after testing it didn't feel too useful. I don't see where it would fit in my game at the moment. 0RLy pretty much summed up, I feel like walking handles the majority of what you would do with this. I still think it's worth exploring in case there's a way to enhance the slide.

 

[SinkingHigher]

It's too slow to be useful, imo. Can you do a sliding d-tilt with it? That would be good. Otherwise, once again, useless.

 

[0RLY]

Sliding dtilt, possible... if you consider sliding about 2 pixels useful, that is.

 

[Rohins]

yeah but you can use the a dash and buffer a dtilt from shield release animation. Its a lot faster and covers more space.
