Peach's Wavedash

[Lichmassacre]

I have been playing Project M for only a week but so far I've been able to get into the competitive "Melee" scene pretty quickly and have learned most techs pretty fast. Peach's wavedash though I can't see the use for. Besides edge hogging and wavedashing onto platforms to reduce landing lag, is there any reason to use her pathetically short wavedash? I can imagine using it for a FC aerial but it doesn't seem very effective.

There's always use for a wavedash. Always.

 

[Dad?!?]

For one thing, it's faster to wavedash out of shield than to drop shield; although, instant double jump cancel may be technically even faster. Also, even a small wavedash can mess up an opponent trying to space precisely--wavedash back->d-tilt can be quite good in that situation.

You could also wavedash out of float to feign approaches and bait out attacks

platform mobility is very dependent on wavelanding, so thats a big use for it as well.

Wavedash oos to punish, FC Fair then wavedash back and punish your opponent if they try to hit you. So technically besides edgehogging and reducing landing lag, you have something that can make you win games...

Hey. I'm a melee peach veteran, and I've been bugged by this : Is PM Peach's wavedash longer ? Cause it sure as hell looks like it to me.

You correct the wavedash is longer in pm like much longer.
