Luigi's Chaindash?

[Eastmangoboy]

I've looked around this forum and found nothing on this... and I didn't see it on the LUIGI videos on youtube, so here goes...


Basically, I use this technique to get around the stages quickly.
Tap the analog stick to the right or left on the gamecube controller.
-->, -->, -->, -->, -->

You have to make sure you don't tilt the stick, otherwise you'll slide and waste time.
Just keep tapping toward the direction you want to go to.

I'm surprised I didn't see this move anywhere else. It's perfect for Luigi's combos and great to make/break space between you and your opponent. And Luigi has such great friction with the floor, so he moves great distances with this.

I wish I could show you guys a replay of this, but apparently you can't transfer replays to computer and play them.
Also, this can be done with other characters. It's preferable on the characters who have similar friction against the ground as Luigi.

But isn't it hard to move across without getting hurt?
That sounds like it would be really slow.

uhh.... you mean like fox trotting?

 

[Eastmangoboy]

Well, I just compared it to running in training mode.
When I run, it's similar speed but you get an awful lag time near the end.
...Unless you shield cancel, but it's tough to get back into play and continue to combo.

When you're doing the 'chaindash' .. it should be , you shouldn't be getting the lag slide that you get from running.


It may just seem as fast because it creates dust (like wavedash in melee).
There must be some use for this... I usually do it to continue combo'ing.

It's called foxtrottig, it was found in the Melee era, it works for all characters.

yeah this was like, the very firt thing to be discovered in brawl, and onfortunatly, its really not tthat usefull for luigi. he gets owned if you try to use this as an aproach.

 

[Adler]

He trips more often than other characters too.

 

[crewster]

Which suck on its own.

 

[kigbariom]

Yeah, when you go from standing to dashing the trip rate is high, especially with Luigi

 

[Eastmangoboy]

Ahh okay.
Guess I better stop before it becomes a set-in habit.

Yeah but real men play with no tripping.

 

[crewster]

Let me quote someones (I can't remember who) sig:

Unless you main hackz then you just suck at brawl

So I guess that's why I suck at brawl.

 

[kigbariom]

Well, that is not really true Crewster, If you don't have Homebrew all you are missing out on is no tripping and infinite replays.
But if that kind of thing does bother you I suggest getting Homebrew

 

[crewster]

It was I jk

 

[kigbariom]

It was I jk

I know but Homebrew is worth getting,
It makes Brawl better and you can do cool stuff like DVD's

 

[crewster]

I might, I'm just not in any rush to get it.
