Squirtle Hydro-Slide

[MrPhox]

we all know that squirtle has a unique turning animation.
if you press the opposite direction while he is in a run, he turns around by going inside his shell and then almost "bouncing" back. It's good for keeping momentum.


right when you get out of your shell, try your upsmash.
I have found squirtle to slide across the stage just like snake's sliding mortar and link's sliding up-smash out of their dash animations.

in this case it's technically easier on the hands and a bit more situational (considering you have to turn around out of a run) but he sure does slide far. He even slides past the water on hydropump (upsmash)

check it out.

he also can keep the momentum into other moves but the upsmash is quite notable.

This is called Shellshifting and Hydroplaning, it's been noted for a while.

This was found a long time ago and is called Hydroplaning.

I wish people really clicked search sometimes. At least he wasn't trying to name it after himself like I've seen some people do. (Squirtle up-tilt spam is called the PBODY apparently.... hah)

So lame.

I HATE that. It's so egotistical, plus it sounds stupid to boot.

that move reminds me of the wavedash

how can you start and write a long post and click post on a forum without seeing one of the most popular threads? It's so exactly the same thing, and even the title is obvious.
