pivot vs run

[kyletree]

Are there any characters that can move across the stage faster with pivots than running? This is assuming that you are getting the biggest pivots possible and making it frame perfect

Wouldn't foxtrotting be faster than dash pivoting?

Pretty sure with foxtrotting you have to wait x number of frames to stop before you can do your initial dash again, whereas by cancelling it with a pivot or a DJC you can perform your initial dash again straight away. Whether pivotting is faster that waiting I dunno.

I don't know the answer to what OP is asking though, but it feels like it might be possible for Luigi maybe

@ S sawamular , do you have any proof? It is definitely not true for Fox, Falcon, Yoshi, Pikachu, DK, Puff, and more of the cast.

maybe someone could do a test with TAS? I would but I have no clue how

i wouldn't say definitely either way. i'm sure someone with TAS skills could easily test it
