Question: How do you run and smash?

[pewpewyou]

I've seen lots of people, such as Ken, that runs and does a Fsmash. It looks a lot like pivoting to me but theyre running from so far away. I remember it was something called like a.. "cross up" or something...

you cant smash attack while running, u can smash attack while dash dancing by hitting the c stick in the single frame where marth is standing up right, or alternatively if u wanna run and smash u can run then wavedash the same way and fsmash or run, crouch cancel and then fsmash, hope that helps

 

[HiddenBowser]

when running just tap down and f smash

Yeah, what Bowyer said is true. You move the directional stick down and it cancels the running lag and then f-smash.

Inputing an attack in that one frame is really hard. I prefer the "flick" method for pivoting.

Please use the Q and A thread for these types of questions, if you can.

Indeed the pivot or dash cancel are the only ways to really f-smash out of the run. Also I like your sig I am a Haruhiite for sure lawl

You can run and then upsmash, if that's what you mean.

The only way you can do it if your running past the initial animation of the dash is to crouch cancel the dash by pressing down then fsmashing (most likely with the c-stick). Pivoting is only done in the initial dash animation phase.

well yeah you can u-smash out of run with the good ole jump cancel

 

[Saph66]

yea Jump cancel is dash then after press jump then up smash right away asap after the jump.

yeah dash canceling is just pressing down(crouching) to stop your dash and lead into ground moves. This is the fastest way to do ground attacks from a dash.

When you dash-cancel, you press down on the control stick. In order to fsmash without the c-stick, you'd have to put the control stick back into neutral position then press forward+a. It technically is possible... but it would be a LOT slower than using the c-stick in this situation.

Great example, I know this seems like spamming because the C-stick is the way to go, if you truly want to use A and risk the chance of dash attacking or a neutral A. But by all means if u are talented enough to use A then use it, but the dash canceled f-smash is used for speed not charge up so u really should use C-stick for the purpose.

there are 2 ways to do this first the most common way is to Dash cancel by pressing down after a period of time while running(to the period where you can't dash dance anymore) you can do a dash cancel and then f smash but, personally i like the way where u run and then you wave dash and then f smash or any other smash because you can do that any time in ur dash even while dash dancing its the easier way for me . most common way is dash cancel and the easiest
