OK guys here's the thing, there's a technique I've discovered on SSBB that ive found to be really handy in matches. It's basically a spot dodge that is done while your character is running, which causes them to slide forward with the invincible frames of the dodge
How to do it
Basically, all you need to do is: firstly, run forward. Now while your character is running, perform a spot dodge, if done correctly, your char will slide whilst perfoming the spot-dodge animation
How it helps
This tech is useful in different ways.
>It has pretty much no start up, and less ending lag than a roll so it's really safe
>Ive tried it with different chars, and they have varying degrees of the slide...for e.g, kirby can slide prtty far in comparison to mario...this is gives the game some balance with the chars in a way I think and probably gives the game more depth
>You can actually use this tech to run towards your opponent, spot-dodge slide, and if timed correctly you can slide behind your opponent, and then attack them straight after (really handy imo)
>Now that you've learnt a new tech, it's opened up your options to how to fight
>And its not some glitched-up "advanced tech" :S

Here's a vid I found on YT with the tech in action:

In the vid the player used marth, but I think someone like kirby would have been a better example b/c he has a good slide, try the tech out for yourself and reply with your thoughts!

This is really old news. The technique is rather elementary. The video was released back in 2008, which further proves how old this technique is. I'll give points in effort, but other than that, you may want to research this stuff more before bringing it in as something new.

Yep, old news. Not that anyone dashes into a spot-dodge in the first place...

Also, Pit's spot-dodge moves him a bit forward automatically...

You didn't quite say it was new, but you did say :

"there's a technique I've discovered on SSBB".
