Watch Every Move In Smash 4 Perfect Pivoted

Learning without the tutorial was... Not going well for me.

Hi... Again...

I've been reading through the comments and have stumbled across posts like "if we have this why play Melee" or "now since we have wave dashing will ssb4 be like Melee" and I would like to (again) state the two primary differences between wave dashing and this. The first is the less important, wave dash lengths are significantly longer. If you look at Marth he can use his long wave dash perfectly to give his grabs and forward smash insane range. More importantly though wave dashing is performed via air dodge and as a result you can wave land (a wave dash is performed by jumping and the quickly air dodging diagonally down so you slide while the game registers you as standing. A wave land is simply this but instead of jumping you air dodge down diagonally when you land) wave landing allows you to move across platforms at blistering speeds and in general gives movement a whole new set of options that perfect pivoting doesn't provide. Additionally this certainly doesn't make the game "like Melee" as Melee got to the speed it did with many more ATs then just wave dashing and also the game was overall faster (less floaty, moves actually killed at a reasonable percent) and perfect pivoting will not have a huge effect on the game.

Where the heck is megaman? All he did was shoot a pelett and throw a metal blade. What about pivot Syouryuken?

Does anyone know if this works in Smash 3DS?

It does, but it's much harder to pull off with the circle pad.

Perfect video for a perfect technique. I wonder if it will be a new "thing".

I do like this video. The funny thing is that I can see this being a tool used in the hands of some Smash experts. The main reason is that I can pull this off way easier, on the controller, than I can pull off some of Akira's key moves in Virtual Fighter. Anybody familiar with linking Akira's Knee or SPOD will know what is possible even in fierce competition. If Akira players can go crazy with such moves, I'd imagine some players putting this in their pocket.

Zaw dancing sounds weird....why that name I wonder?
Maybe SPPT (sliding perfect pivot turnaround) but I know it does not always slide so idk...

I think Zaw Dance is easier to say. This isn't the first time we have an AT named after someone *cough**cough* Ken Combo*cough**cough*

 

[Sterling Ford]

To all those asking about "why" this is getting popular... although this was in every Smash, it's now becoming far more useful because of the lack of movement options in Smash4 and because Smash4 has the offensive potential but lacked a faster movement option and spacing tool. THAT'S why it's big right now. Use your brains, now.

And ZAW Dancing? For real? Why not call it Pivot Dancing or something. That's just some hardcore ego-speak.

So KEN has an ego have a combo named after him?

He didn't name it after himself. His fanbase named it after him. It was his signature combo and his fans just deemed it the Ken Combo.
