Mega Man's Super Glide Toss

[TheHunterLive]

I wonder if villager could harness this...

So does this tech only work if you have a c stick available?

(hold) --> (hold) > +

must be used to throw item forward. You need to hold the control stick at roughly a 30 degree angle diagonally up. I find it useful to do the "quarter circle" motion from Street Fighter to get down the timing for this method.

WOW!

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

inb4 it gets patched out.

 

[ELITEWarri0r115]

Brilliant people discovering awesome stuff in smash bros.

 

[NotAnAdmin]

The good characters get better and the rest fall farther.
Feels bad ;_;

 

[JOE!]

All this wave cheating....

@ Mikkelmann This tech has been tested out across the cast already apparently, and there is a thread that was made for discussing this. You can find it here:

Excuse me. Mega Man ALWAYS looks awesome!

I meant in competitive smash. He's always awesome by himself!

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I love seeing these mechanic articles. Regardless which smash it is; it's good to see when the meta is continued to be pushed forward and evolving.

 

[SimplyChrono]

A shame that this needs the c-stick to be set to smash attacks, i can only play with c-stick set to tilts.
One thing to note is that Styles didn't discover this tech, a youtuber by the name RED did.

 

[Rango the Mercenary]

I would like to believe this is viable since Mega Man is one of my major secondaries.

Link can do this with his bombs (which we call bomb sliding). It's called a DACIT (Dash Attack Canceled Item Throw). This technique has been around since Brawl. Nothing new here, though I wasn't aware that anyone besides Link could perform it in this game. This better not get patched out just because of you scrubs complaining about it. It's a pretty important part of Link's meta and he isn't a super great character to begin with. Especially with the removal of his jab 1 cancel as of the recent patch. And no, that **** wasn't an infinite. They could've easily fixed the issue by removing it's suction properties but instead decided it was a good idea to completely remove jab 1's IASA frames. Thanks guys. Other characters have way worse jab cancel locks than Link did even now. Like D3 and Fox for example.

 

[B.A.M.]

You people wanted wavedashing....

You got something better.

no.

"Dash Item Toss Cancel Item Toss"...DITCIT

such a strange acronym, I foresee this getting misspelled into a lewd joke... real fast.

personally, that looks kind of situational, it might make for a good hard read at best, but his holding the saw gives him away too easily.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

no.

Twas a half joke mate.

It was on character like Zard unless he used Rock Hurl as a custom.

 

[LiamMail]

Aren't you guys kinda late on reporting this? It's been known at least a week or two.

u mean 4 months? it's posted by mysmashcorner ages ago, great job @Smashboards

 

[Foster J.]

Link also gets a small boost when he does this, but nowhere near Megamans. Sadly this doesn't do jack for Tink or Diddy

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Is Diddy back?

 

[Gidy]

This does not help Megaman that much.

I wish it did, but MM is still just a beautiful mid-tier.

lol midtier

 

[BuTTNutz]

An article dedicated to my main? THAT IS AMAZING! Styles the GOD!!!

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Well, wavedashing is sort of back now.....

 

[NachoOfCheese]

This is old news. Discovered by My Smash Corner like months ago...
EDIT: DISREGARD I am an ignorant fool XD

 

[FlamingForce]

DONT EXPOSE IT WTF MAN SAKURAI MIGHT BE WATCHING.

 

[90007000]

My smash corner made a video about it months ago...

 

[Damix91]

Please do research first before you write articles. This was in Brawl and commonly used by characters who's glidetoss range was terrible. The most notable example was Toon Link. It was discovered back in 2008, not by this guy.

 

[Tremendo Dude]

What My Smash Corner made a video on was Jump Cancelled Item Toss, which produces a much smaller slide. This is different.

How similar are DACIT and DITCIT?

 

[Z1GMA]

Snake is back, it seems.

 

[AJawesome07]

People always unearth new pieces of Smash 4 tech. But it never seems to change anything. People thought Perfect Pivoting was going to revolutionize Smash 4, but it didn't. I fail to see how any new tech in this game will change how it is essentially played.

 

[ephOE]

How does Greninja do with glide tossing? I remember his DACUS was nasty before DACUS was removed. Would be extremely situational but still cool if he got similar results.

 

[Yikarur]

This is as old as Brawl
And you can expect it getting patched out because it works on the same principle as DACUS.

 

[CJ14r43]

This is old.

 

[Lord_Spoon]

sweet megaman can wavedash

 

[Sabaca]

I'm sorry for whoever made this article. Not only is this a technique that was already in Brawl , it is also well known (at least for Link mains , where it is refered as bomb sliding most of the times) and you spread false information with this article. It is DACIT , nothing to do with jump cancels or what ever , just a DACIT wich is inputted really fast. Such missinformation shouldn't be spread on the frontpage.

Link can get a significant boost from it, though. I've had times where he's covered almost a third of FD with his bombslide. I haven't been able to replicate it consistently, still trying, but it does happen.

And yeah, this is old news.

 

[Dumbfire]

It's just a dash attack canceled item slide, which was widely used in Brawl, especially by Link mains. Link mains have also been doing it since the start of Smash 4. Moreover, there are numerous variants, most relevant of which are the Uthrow fakeout, uthrow, backthrow fake-out, and full reverse ones. Check our AT thread for detailed information on variant inputs and all variations.

I've tried this out with some of the other cast members as well. Out of the characters that carry their own items, Pac-Man and Link seem to slightly benefit from this as well. But not to the same degree as Mega Man. Fortunately, Link has enough range as is to make up for the gap. So I can see it being a decent tool to close the gap between you and your opponent a smidgen quicker, or something along those lines. But I'm sure most people already knew Link had a tool like this, according to the above posts. Not sure about Pac-Man peeps though.

I know that Bowser Jr., Robin, Rob, and Tink can't do it though. Diddy can, but he gets hardly any distance from it at all. So it is worthless to him entirely. As for non-item characters, I've found that Mewtwo has possibly the best Super Glide toss in the game. Even more so than Mega Man. Covers about 3/4ths of the stage distance on tournament standard stages. But, as expected, situations like that for Mewtwo would be entirely situational.
