Is that so? Doesn't it work to hold down the controlstick and slide of the edge?

How do you slide into a tilt? I'd like to see that.

Dair, not Dtilt.

You can slide into a dair? wtf?
If you hold down lightly on the control stick, you won't fastfall while doing an aerial. It is more difficult this way than with c-stick set to attack, but preferable, at least for me.
And he means doing the pivot until you fall offstage and dair. I guess.

Apparently Shielding gives you a large slide for Marth/Sonic, and you slide the entire time your Shield is up.
OMFG:
Dash > Tap Up > Dash OTHER WAY LAGLESSLY
^ GETTING A VID OF THAT (new TRIP INDUCING Foxtrot maybe?)

You guys are going off of theory. You need to provide us with vids showing attacks reliably coming out of the pivot walking and connecting with the opponents.

I assume you mean tapping up by using the doop walk hold a method?
The vids will come E. I mean its ALL across the brawl forums. It seems plenty of people are putting it to use, just by reading stuff. I dont see any reason why it WOULDNT have application in competitive play.
I think its important we go off on tangents a bit, because we have to find out what else can be derived from this. I think even more so interesting than the pivot walking itself is the mechanics behind the input method. I think it can lead to other things.

If I was feeling nice and decided to not shoot off t-jolts to hinder your movement, I could still fair you before you could react once you got anywhere near me with this awkward movement of a tech.
Btw Napilopez- people have been putting it to use for a while... as a taunt.

Is this from a foxtrot or from a full run? I'm guessing its from a foxtrot... because if it was from a full run... god that would be so broken for sonic.
But you have to realize, most people are lasy. Unless its something gamebreaking like wavedashing(which wasnt even that hard), people are not usually gonna put that much effort into learning a tech that isnt soooo gamebreaking. This method makes it tremendously easier. Not to mention that its nigh impossible to do some of it as effectively though the normal crazy walk method. like Sonic's is supposedly way too difficult to do right in normal play to apply it. Not to mention that probably 90% of people who knew about it, never tried to put it to use more than once or twice, because it wasnt worth it. I know I definitely didn't.
The method changes things.
?_?
Are you sure you weren't just testing it with Sonic and taking advantage of his screech stop's IASA frames?

New to this thread, but I have to say. If I start seeing people do this normally, I'm gonna punch... no FALCON punch myself in the gut. This tech has the ability to make brawl one of the most ******** looking games ever.
Not saying the technique is bad, it just looks..... funky

Ok, heres what I think...ahem:
It lets people make fun of Marth more.
"OMG, a ballerina!"
...but really, it's just a new way of 'crazy walking' that lets certain characters do wierd things that are hard to apply to normal play. Unless you completely master this, there are few times that this will help you. (especially as fast the word is spreading with this, people WILL know about it, and will expect it) You're going to have to get really creative with this to actually use this effectively, and even then you probably don't want to do it all the time. Maybe once in three matches, maybe not even that much. Also, if you plan on using it to taunt AND as an approach...that doesn't really work becasue it looses it's "WTF" effect after a while.

lol your voice sounds dead havok. anyway all it takes is some practice and a way to move ur fingers into that positioin im starting to get it its mad nice

*tries to think of something you could do with Snake*
I guess you could try PWing then doing a mortar slide out of it...but that's getting a bit too creative for my taste. Wait, what happens if you try to hold a nade while PWing?

I'm a noob and it already existed with a (barely...) harder way of doing it.....
>.> I think I'm trying to hard
(I'm guessing within a week I'll probably be the only one using this technique
considering 90% of 'pros or better' say its ****ing useless and I want to prove them wrong)
I noticed that tech last night
It wasn't really a tech lol. It's easily recreatable via foxtrots and dashdance pivots.
Hey, make vids of sliding shield, specifically with the ** characters (spacies, Marth, Sonic, Squirtle, Ivy, but not IC's)I'm a noob and it already existed with a (barely...) harder way of doing it.....
>.> I think I'm trying to hard
(I'm guessing within a week I'll probably be the only one using this technique
That one looks far more useful and less silly ;]
and for kicks, have marth spin-shield-spin-shield lol.
Has anyone done this with Ike?

This looks awesome.
But if you're approaching with the sliding shield, your opponent is in the much better position for attacking. So I don't see this helping anyone's metagame.
