Finding the Tech.

[usernamecloi]

Im looking for the tech. where you can dash in place when on the edge of platform/stage?

I've sure you've seen this and can you pls link me to a post bout' it

 

[skstylez]

moonwalk, waveland, wavedash, hax dash, stickywalk? Probably one of those, just eliminate what you already know

 

[usernamecloi]

first of, thanks for responding so quickly.

well i know what moonwalking, wavelanding/dashing is so it's porbably either haxdash or stickywalking

gonna search it now. thanks

 

[usernamecloi]

Update I searched, it's sticky walk. but I can't seem to find a tutorial for it.

can anyone give me a link? maybe post a tutorial here

if i'm understanding the question, you're not looking for sticky walk. sticky walk is sort of like a moonwalk except not going backwards. just slowing down your dash animation. i think what you're looking for is...i'm actually not sure it has a name >.> but if you run at a ledge and hold in the 3-ish direction (diagonally down/forward) you won't run off the ledge. from my experience, the exact angle varies by controller

in the topic of moonwalk/stickywalk are there characters that can specifically do the moonwalk but cant do the latter? vice-versa

on the main topic. is there a name for that?
i undestood what you said but cant seem do it. i always keep falling links would be nice tho. thanks for the clarification

It's called edge running glitch, to perform it run at the edge, then before going over the edge tilt the stick slightly downward and maybe just a bit back, not too much or the player will crouch

^what starship said. there's a sweetspot that the game keeps registering forward to run, but it's far enough down for the game to think you're holding down so it won't let you go off the ledge. once you find the spot on your joystick, it's not too hard. finding it can be a pain tho.

as far as moonwalk/stickywalk goes, i'm pretty sure anyone can do it. it's just a side-effect of physics. but the usefulness is dependent on character. like...bowser can wavedash, but that doesn't mean he should even bother. most characters' moonwalks are useless to the point of non-existence. off the top of my head, the only characters with noticeable/practical moonwalks are cfalcon, sonic, and mewtwo. i'm sure there're a few others tho.

All you have to do is run at the edge, with the stick angled diagonally down. Called edge running. Be sure to start your dash far away enough from the edge so that you go into run fully after your dash start-up.

Regarding this tech, is anyone finding that it works only one way? I can sticky walk left but not right with one controller, and right but not left with another.

It's not called sticky walking. That's another tech, it involves doing a moonwalk first then pressing forward and down again so your character kinda just freezes in place briefly, no running or anything, and it can be done anywhere on the stage.
But if edge running only working certain directions on certain controllers you probably have bad control sticks.
