Lucas:: Semi-Wavedash (Video Up!)

[Gaplka]

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PK FIRE WAVELAND!

Okay so, Lucas (And Wolf) has a pretty low short hop and a pretty fast fast-fall. Also, Lucas' Aerial dodge is long and his aerial movement is smooth. So goofing around I discovered that you can come very close to a Wave Dash.

First you Short Hop-FastFall. Then Aerial dodge(while holding the direction you want to go). Then you let go of the Shield button. It should look like a n00b trying to wavedash on Melee.

With Lucas you should be able to go about as long as 3/4 of Ness' wavedash on Melee. I'm able to get a Down Smash, a Forward Smash, PK Fire, and PSI Magnet (Not at the same time) out of the slide. I call it a Semi-Wavedash, or a Semi-WD (SWD).

This works the best with Lucas and Wolf, HOWEVER it doesn't work with a vast amount of characters and really is only useful with Lucas (It can be used with Wolf but there is a better alternative).

I'll upload a Video after school.

EDIT:: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtePC8TLFRc (Bad Quality, No sound)
Yeah, this is old, I've nearly mastered the Semi-Dash about now. I'm not really doing it as good as I can now. I'll try to get another video soon, and sorry for the quality, it kinda sucks.

Sounds interesting, I hope this works.

 

[Kone]

This isnt very applicable, decent for spacing now and then.peace

 

[Animal control]

that sounds good i'll try it out

 

[Starstorm]

is there any way you can film it?

 

[screeddie]

That sounds pretty awesome. I tried it and think I got what you were referring to but I'll wait till you post the video to make sure. Nice find.

 

[Mooplet]

What kone said.

not as... wavedashy as anyone would want.

also SWD = super wavedash

find another acronym

I found this out at a tourney awhile ago, it doesn't really have a lot of practical use though from what I experienced with it. Feel free to upload a video of you doing it, maybe you're doing it different then I was or something.

How about this: Short hop reverse PK Fire. Not only does it put a pillar of flame in your opponent's face, but you get the same waveland, and it increases the space between you and him. It provides a "waveland" that goes about the same length, and takes only slightly longer overall.

Oh, and it's really good for actual combat.

 

[Tyr_03]

yeah I tried this and don't think it's going to be applicable for real battles at all. It doesn't change your momentum enough. If you could short hop forward and then do this backward and get good distance it might be worth something.

 

[Levitas]

nah, wavedashing is good because it's fast, and it makes people faster. Lucas gets no speed benefit from this.

 

[Gaplka]

VIDEO UP!

Yeah, this is a good way for me to begin a combo though. Also, it helps when you want to grab someone, which makes his awesome grabs even better.

Pretty much what he said.

 

[Scrubs]

Using this you could short hop at them, they shield expecting an aerial. Do this away from them then fsmash. I spose.

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

Could you try shorthopping backwards away from the opponent, then wavelanding forwards towards them? THAT might be useful for something at least.

Edit: forget that, it's impossible.

 

[saberhof]

hmm, i could find SOME uses for it(being a short slide), maybe some mindgame, if someone wants to grab you...
