New Sonic Tech? Reversal Rolling Shield Dash

[LittleLeo Cofofo]

Basically i just did a reversal side-b while running and right after the startup hold shield, apparently sonic will dash to the opposite direction while shielding, as seen here in this video

0:09 righ after the taunt, the timing is rly hard in this one, just like perfect pivot...That silly name tho.
P.S: Sorry for the bad quality.

This is already known. You can learn more about it in the FAQ as well as in the Moveset stickied threads.

A segment from said FAQ thread:

Q: Can Sonic still shield cancel his Side-B (Spin Dash)?
A: Yes! Just hit shield at any point before it's fully-charged and it will cancel. This grants Sonic less commitment to his approach and opens up more bait options. Performing this during a run can allow for interesting mechanics, primarily focused around Sonic's ability to initiate a standing grab with various different properties. Utilities for Spin Dash Shield Cancel include...

1. Spin Dash Shield Cancel Pivot Grab = By running and inputting Side-B in the opposite direction, Sonic will face that position and start charging Spin Dash... Which can be canceled with shield into a grab, returning Sonic to a neutral state to perform a pivot standing grab.
2. Spin Dash Shield Cancel Boost Grab = Extends the range on Sonic's boost grab, but performs a standing grab out of neutral instead.
3. Spin Dash Shield Cancel Pivot Boost Grab = Exactly what you think it is. Combine the two above elements together and you get an extra slide on your spin dash shield cancel pivot grab.
