Some characters can slide backwards from a short hop.

[KingKong_ad]

I'm lazy so I'll copy poste what I wrote on the bowser boards.


-Bowser can slide backwards from a short hop while landing, while sliding he can do EVERYTHING like a wavedash let us do everything. It can be done by a few characters also. I would like somebody to help me to put it on youtube since I'm a noob and don't know how to do it. I wish to put it on the competitive thread since it affects more than one character. Also I manage to do slide backwards and forwards from a short hop once but I wasn't able to repeat it. So it might have better uses than I think. It is hard to explain it in english since it is not my first language. It is not nearly as good as wavedash since you can only do this from a short hop with momentum going forward and you cannot do it on a platform. Though, I wouldn't be surprise that it has some good uses.

Your character must be able to crawl to do so.

I was able to do it with every character with a crawl but they have different timing and some slide backwards really poorly.... (Luigi and Rosalina)

Though, Bowser, Sheik, Yoshi, WFT seems to have good uses for this. Yoshi slide backwards like a boss... really....

So since I'm bad at explaining and English is not my first language, I would like someone to chat with me to explain on how to do it and to put it on youtube. Anyone would like to help ?


Btw you can do it on any stage.

Sorry if it was already discovered.

This sounds awesome, could you explain in French and maybe another French speaker can translate it? In any case don't be so apologetic about your knowledge of English. It's all good

What are the inputs necessary and in what order?

This just sounds like crawl dashing. Crawling backwards reverses your momentum. The only limiting factor here is that you need to have momentum and be in a standing position.

In the case you described, you are simply utilizing the momentum you build as you drift. When you land you gain a minimal slide proportionate to your speed.

There are other ways to gain momentum and be in a standing position, such as Perfect Pivots, Turnaround Boost, Walking, bowsers waveslash.

I attempted a compilation thread for stuff like this here.
