Up-b Momentum trick/technique

[DMG]

I was just messing around with Dedede today and found out that he can change his horizontal movement from one direction to another before he leaps with his Up-b. Like when you first press Up-b and he kinda looks like he is crouching to jump hold left and then right when he is just about to leap hold right or vice versa. Im pretty sure that once he leaps that you can't reverse that though. If you do it right it looks like he will shift a bit in one direction and then leap the opposite way. IDK how useful this will be but there have been a few times where it looked like I was stuck dead under a ledge and I kinda snaked my way around it and onto the stage.

I'm pretty sure most people knew about this. Also, stop your up-b half way by pressing down.

Yeah. Its been known.

I knew about shortening his leap but didn't think this was well known. Is there some way I can just close my thread? There's not much of a point to have one now

now, im not sure if you guys are quite getting what he meant in the first post. while it is obvious that you can give direction to his up and B, i believe he was referring to the fact that when you first use it, you can for example slide to the left a bit but before the move actually launches, input right and he'll still leap right. Useful for when your underneath FD's lip, you can use that initial tiny left movement to get you out from under it, and still leap right to get above the stage. Now, if thats what you guys were calling obvious as well, then just ignore what i said. xD

Lol?

You can also control the way your character walks by tilting the control stick.

I hope this hasn't been discovered already...

As much as I hate scolding people who try to venture new ideas, yeah its old : /

Isn't this obvious?

Seriously if someone doesn't know this, they suck!
