its a pretty nice way to someone to learn spacing man XDill try it so i see if my spacing gets better

Mr. C: I know Nihonjin uses the walk-off turn around edgehog, except he runs, then uses a WD so he cancels the run without slowing down, then turnaround. I'm not sure but tommy also tested it with an AR and said it is the fastest method of edgehogging. It's in the sheik boards in a thread entitled "needle charge edgehog" or something like that.

Here's Tommy's post:

"The people getting the turnabout-needle-cancel-edgehog so easily are probably doing it in Corneria on the Great Fox fin. It's easier to do there because the momentum of going upwards carries you high enough that you can cancel the needle easier to an edge-hog. Try practicing on Hyrule Temple instead, it's a level platform.

My advice: Crouch right before running off, then you go from down to backwards easier.

Just to note: It is faster to walkoff-turnabout-edgehog, I tested it in AR. Try what I usually do and Dash to Slide (you'll technically be in a Standing position prior to falling off) to turnabout-walkoff."
It's fast, it's easy, what more do you need?

As odd as this might sound to some people, I can guarantee you it will work. Wes here beat me in his very first tournament before he knew any advanced tactics simply because of his good spacing and timing. As hard as it is to admit, he is still capable of beating me with this simple style at times, and it's very frustrating. I recommend people of all levels from newbies to veterans (I dislike the word "pro") should try this if you want to improve your spacing, timing or just your game in general.

omg spacing! something i need to work on sigh. everything else is good but my spacing.

Wow, I guess it could work for newbies, but I have pretty darn good spacing and I improved it playing with all the L cancels and whatnot. I use wavedashing to space a bit too, but not as much as I used to. I think I have a pretty good spacing game but maybe ill point out this thread to smash nubs who ask me how to get better.

The thing I saw he was dashdancing around and dashed twoards someone but the dash got really really slow all of a sudden and he grabbed and it looked really werid lol.

Hylian, i think you saw the extremely rare "sticky walk". no one thinks to use it in a high tension match, but it's actually quite fun to see

Hmm, sounds like a job for single-button mode... though I don't think that allows the c-stick, but still.

C-stick works in single button mode.

Also, single button mode is useless, as you can't execute full combos.
Might I suggest Training?

I'd say the fastest edgehog method is edge-jump-canceling a turn-around shine with Fox. Shining out of your dash keeps most of your horizontal momentum and you can turn around during that slide. Jumping alone is certainly faster than wavedashing and almost as fast as pivoting, and by sliding off you cancel the animation, which cuts down the time more.
