Foxtrot with Marth

[dampe]

Just noticed today that if you push the control stick continuously in the same dircection at the same speed that you would for a dashdance, marth continues to perform his dash initiation animation, thus speeding him up slightly.

Its main uses aren't for speed.

For Marth, I don't think using it mainly for speed would be a good idea since you'll increase your chances to trip.

it doesnt even make him faster

Doesn't matter. It's about as fast as his running speed and it lets you perform smash attacks while doing it, making it superior to running.

Unless I've missed something, there's no proof that foxtrotting increases chances of tripping.

 

[God_Voice]

Foxtrotting will increase the chances of tripping because a character will not trip in mid-run but will trip after tapping forward.

On a side note, You can immediately change your direction while foxtrotting. If you go to foxtrot one way and immediately snap the joystick the opposite direction you can turn around. This makes you a little more agile.

Would the Foxtrot completely replace running? Or are there times that running is more advantageous? Just curious.
