It seemes like a wierd time, but...

[Midna-fan]

I was wondering if anyone could give me the complete technicalitys on the wavedash and the l-cancel. I know that both glithces are in brawl they are just aren't usable. Make fun of me if you wish, but I'm conducting a few experiments of my own and was hoping someone could give me a detaile discription of each glitch and how they worked(other than how to do them, I know that much.).

Thank you, and I appolagize for my horrible wording and grammer.

1) They are not in Brawl at all. In Melee, you could L-Cancel by pressing R or L as soon as you would hit the ground after an aerial. Wavedash by air dodging towards the ground directionally.

2) Caramelldansen is epic win.

I have plenty of time on my hands right now, if someone could just give me some detailed information I would be on my marry way, besides I have seen a rough l-cancel in brawl and think ther may be hope, even if wavedashing is lost.

There are ways to slide a little.
But theres no wave-dashing.
Were not trying to be jerks, just telling the truth.
The physics engine of the game won't let you perform a traditional wavedash.
There are only a few ways to slide, but no wavedash.
No L-cancel either.

Ask the Melee boards if you don't give up.

I took it out xD

Just stop. Its not funny.

I'm not insulted by you in te slightest, I have a o8 join date after all, but I need proof for my self, you seem to be an experienced smasher, why don't you give me the info I'm looking for. I won't give up, I need the proof for myself, I once held a debate about the smashball being legal just to hear all opinions for myself(the smash ball sucks!!). It would be most helpful to just get what I need and leave.

Thank you.

Alright, I wasn't a very experienced Melee player though. I really don't know that much about that game besides Marth stuff.

L-canceling is just basically the lag frames of your airials being shortened by your shield. You only press L or R for a second so your shield doesn't come up though. The frames for shield coming up overlap/cancel the lag frames.
The shield no longer does that though.

Wave dashing is a combination of things. You jump, and just as you get off the floor, you do your airial dodge in a southwest or southeast direction. (Just kinda like to the side and down). This causes a "slide"- looking thing.

But you can't aim your airial dodge anymore.




I'm pretty sure thats how it goes. =/
I might be wrong.

I appriciate that very much, thank you, my faith in the community is restored(or something like that).

Anytime. =)
Good luck.

They're not in Brawl. For the first month that the game existed everyone tried to figure how to Lcancel and wavedash in Brawl. It's just not possible. I hope you do figure out how to wavedash and Lcancel, because that would be cool in brawl, but seriously, don't waste your time searching for something that doesnt' exist.

 

[Midna-fan]

If you look at the tactical discussion again you might see wher I'm going, maybey...

 

[Greenstreet]

Once again Midna-fan, you should look around the boards before making a post.
It took me about 20 seconds to click the melee discussion boards (in which i have never entered) and found this link

THATS RIGHT....THIS LINK!!!!

It shows all the terminolgy u need and a description of how to wavedash.
If that's not enuff try the question answer thread again. Not everything needs a thread.

 

[Midna-fan]

O.K, O.K, geeze...I found that thread ages ago, but what I am looking for is why does wavedashing work, not how to do it.

 

[Omis]

What they said

 

[nightSN]

uhmm technically there not glitches right?

 

[TheFast]

Wave dashing was a glitch brought on by the ability to air-dodge in a direction opposite of your aerial move. You would jump up and air-dodge downward at an angle this would create a slide. In brawl air-dodges only move in the way your aerial movement is therefore if you are jumping up the only way to air-dodge is in an upward direction. (DI playing into Air-dodging but no more so than if you didn't air-dodge at all) That is the basics behind the melee wave-dash.
