He also mentions this tech on the Bidou thread in Smashboards General Discussion.

He says this tech can be used with standard Bidou, without Bidou (Regular setup), or with A+B Smash Cstick Bidou which I made a thread about a while ago - https://smashboards.com/threads/c-stick-fastfall-options-a-b-techs.437399/

I personally have not found much consistency or utility out of perfect walking, but if you are in the mood to hit the lab and try and push the meta game to new heights with some obscure new tech, knock yourself out! Haha

On the other hand - it's reeeally cool how far Marth slides into shield in that video!

Interesting. Looks like a good way to reposition to threaten landings.

That said, there seems to be a period of commitment between the start of the slide and when you can act. Does anyone have a frame count for PW versus PP versus a single dash step (return to standing)?
