I only can get the low quality feed to run smoothly, so can someone tell me what MK does at 2:09? It can't be a tech, so was it a waveland or is it a new tech?
Slow computer = frustrating:mad:

I actually thought it looked very similar to a wavedash, but it's really hard to be sure with just that little clip shown to us. Perhaps characters have a new style to their shieldrolls?

In other parts of the video Pika rolls off an edge, I'd say it's Metaknight doing that.

But didn't Pikachu get hit and tech? MK also looks he might be facing the same direction. Maybe it's a new evasive tactic. Didn't somebody frame-by-frame the trailer?

You don't have to go frame by frame to tell it's not a waveland. Just look at the smoke/dust that he kicks up when he lands; it's the kind that comes up when landing from a freefall (which means his aerial attack had auto-cancelled by then) IE the white "flame" looking thing and the puffs of smoke whereas a waveland would just have the puffs of smoke. Looking at it frame by frame tells what happens next: he dashes, falls through the platform, turns around, dashes, and then dash attacks Wario.

The scene with Pikachu opens with Pikachu in the air and smoke clearing on the ground around him which suggests that he missed a tech and is up in the air after bouncing off the ground. He then lands, is lying there for a few frames, and then rolls out of it and off the platform.
