G&W Neutral B Slide

[Ephenilliac]

Apparently it's possible to slide while using G&W's neutral B. This has happened to me on quite a few occasions but I still don't know how to properly get it consistently or even know how and why it happens.

Video for reference (skip to 1:38) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZquJ29YigE

If anybody knows what's happening here or can find out how to do it, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share, as something like this could be useful.

To note, you can also do it on the main stage and not just platforms (again, I've only ever had this happen to me on accidents).

Video's private, but I know what you're talking about, it was brought up somewhere in the subforum a while ago but no one figured out how to replicate it, though I don't think anyone really put much effort to figuring it out since it wouldn't be really meta-breaking if we even did know how to consistently replicate it

I disagree.

It definitely has some use.

Sorry, the video was made unlisted. But JKBUK's slide is what I am trying to figure out how to do.

I've used it, never in tournament, but in friendlies and sometimes FG.
I actually made an example video to show people in the G&W Skype group who didn't know about it.

Oh and here's me using it to troll on FG at a minute in:

I've got the timing down to 50% accuracy but I don't see too many chances to use it against good players.

I thought this was going to be a grounded wavebounce (something probably worth labbing) but it's not. Looks to me like landing during a certain part of the animation carries his momentum. I assume this has to be done while landing, anyway.

I disagree.

didn't say it had no use, just said I don't see it being a G&W meta-changer

Omg I agree about the dedede matchup thing! My good friend is a DDD main and he hates my GW cause I learned how to use bacon effectively! LOL
