Ok, the basic Reversal Forward Smash (RFS) is not so much an AT, but it's a very good tips.

Basic RFS : You know maybe that already : When Mario does a Reversal FSmash (do a Fsmash in the direction opposed to yours [behind you]), he slides a bit, and his range is increased.

That's a very nice stuff, but i don't think i'm the first to discover it. But I've discovered some uses for that :

1 - (Immovable) Reversal Forward Smash : You want to do a FSmash, but you would like a better range to surprise your opponent ? Perform this :

1] Considering you are standing towards right : Turn your Mario on the opposite side (left).
2] Perform a FSmash towards right (With C-Stick, it's better).
3] Your FSmash's Range is increased !

2] Rolling RFS (RRFS... :s) : That's a good way to approach an opponant : Just roll toward him (you will be facing the direction opposed to him), and do a FSmash.

3] Dashing RFS (DRFS) : You have to use the Pivoting to perform the DRFS. It's useful to punish someone chasing you.

4] RFS as a EdgeGuard ? I'm not sure about that... But you know that you can direct your FSmash to the bottom, right ? It can be useful to edgeguard. But it's much more easy with a RFS !

That's all ^^ There are maybe some others uses; if you want to propose one, you of course can ;)

Yep, everything you listed is pretty much already known. What you call the RFS is actually called stutter-stepping(theres 3 variations of it atm, u listed the 2nd best ranged one). Regardless, alot of players may not know about what you posted, so hopefully this makes them aware of these options. :)

Few people know how to do this without the C-stick so here's how: simply start facing one way then start to turn around and as you are beginning to turn smash forward in your initial direction and it should move you forward just like the stutter step.

*This tip is good for those who want to B-stick but fear the loss of the C-stick for smashes*
