Quick Dash Attack (QDA)

[ImpactAR]

I found a neat little trick with the game. It is part of the control of the game that NO ONE seem to talk about so that's why I'm bringing to people's attention. The name I'm calling it is for quick reference.

E. Quick Dash Attack (QDA)

Execution

Tap forward and C-Stick Down simultaneously or nearly instantly after the forward tap.

Description

I recently found this trick. Allows Link (any character really) to perform at dash attack ASAP.

This is very good for some characters, since some character's Dash Attack has better range and/or better knock back properties than their Forward Smash.

Examples:

Link

1. Slightly faster than Forward Smash?
2. Longer range than Forward Smash.
3. Knocks opponent up allowing for possible follow ups.

Ganondorf

1. Much faster than Forward Smash?
2. Much longer range than Forward Smash.
3. Knocks opponent up allowing for possible follow ups.

Ike

1. Much faster than Forward Smash.
2. Much longer range than Forward Smash.

Snake

1. Much faster than Forward Smash.
2. Much, much longer range than Forward Smash.

Yeah, I found this a while ago, but forgot to post it here on SWF. I have a thread about it in the Brawl section of Shoryuken's forums (the main place I post).

Here it is:

Ah, very nice. Props for finding it.

Still good to dicuss it here for Ike players. It looks to be a good poke and coming out of a shield move for Ike, IMO.

You can ignore this since he fixed it---->> (if you want to that is) [[don't call it QAC that means quick attack cancel. and its not even in that order its QDA, where did you get C from? and where did D go?]]

Other than that, its a handy move to surprise people, but i wouldnt spam it. It just adds to the options. But hey i think i'm gonna go use this.

Well other than the title I called it QDA. It's a typo. Thanks for catching it, though.
