So I've been experimenting for some time now with Pit and I just can't figure out how to get him to glide. Call me a noob if you want but I'd appreciate help if there's any to offer.

toggle joystick left and right quickly
Really? I thought that was just air recovery. Also, does jiggling left and right work to get out of free-fall?

I find the easiest way to glide is to hold X (or Y). I think holding up causes him to use up all his jumps.

to glide, tap jump, then jump again (double jump) and hold it. you can let go and you'll keep gliding. if you hold up, you're going to fall, but if you go down a bit, you can rise back up without falling. pressing A will do a gliding attack that slashes below you to in front of you

you can cancel flying by pressing X, Y or B, flying upward enough, attacking with A, or flying into the ground

if you glide from your third mid-air jump then cancel it, you're going to helplessly fall. you won't fall helplessly if you glide from your first or second mid-air jump

if you glide into the ground, you will remain on the ground as if you tripped or were knocked down

gliding into a wall will make you glide in place, like on a treadmill, but you will continue to fall
