Pivot Walk (New AT)

[Hylian]

I've known this since March but kept it secret. This also works for the foxtrot, it gives it a boost making it a little faster than the normal foxtrot, but I never really liked it much cuz you can trip dashing so much.

So THATS what you were showing me at Hobo5.

LOL.

Definitely not all, it's pretty much useless for some characters.
Like ganon, snake, DDD, metaknight, samus, etc.


It could prove useful for others, especially marth. And Dk for his cargo throw. Sonic has a real nice one too.

I messed around with this the other day.

For marth, it seemed like shield grabs were 2x-3x easier to work for me.



It could get you in pretty close before the opponent can react sometimes and get a grab in.

If the opponent tries to attack you, most of the time, due to the forward momentum, you should be able to shield grab it.



People say it's pretty easy to punish, but a marth can just shield grab the attack at will, especially since it comes up so fast.

I also find it a bit easier to retreat after a couple aerials as not to get counterattacked. Pivot walking, getting semi-close to the opponent, and then dashing (C-stick down) to get that extra speed may mix some things up

Hmmm, I'll have more to say on this once I try it out.
