The "Proper" Way to Mortarslide

[jlen]

As any Snake player should, I mortarslide. However, I find myself wondering if there is an easier way of mortarsliding. I know there are multiple ways of performing the mortarslide, but which is the best/easiest/most effective?

For my mortarslide, (using the GC controller setup with tap jump OFF) I dash attack (with the control stick and A) then quickly flick the control stick vertically and tap/charge A to fire off the round. I can perform both versions of the mortarslide this way (hitting something and not). What do you use or recommend? Is one way better than another?

My apologies if this has been answered before.

It varies from person to person. Some use Down on the C-Stick to dash and then smash Up+Z. I have a custom control scheme which makes it really easy to do. L is set to attack and tap jump is off. I run, use Down on the C-Stick to dash, then RIGHT after, I smash up using L.

I find that using the Cstick down to up, has a small lag in causing the Slide to occur. Also, there's the chance of laying a mine on accident. What I've now down is just abuse the buffering system. =D

Dash->A, quarter circle up+Z
The QC up+z is pressed immediately after A, resulting in a smooth, slide, with barely -any- animation frames of the dash.

There is no "right" way...find your personal preference that is complimented with your controller and button setup, and do it until you are comfortable and precise...itll become second nature like wavedashing did.
