This was posted about back before Wii U version even released when 3DS first released but for some reason it didn't get much attention, I still remain impressed with the possibilities as I was months ago.
Oh crap the patch are coming...
Maybe you are using a bad character for it? As shown in the video, some characters have less significant perfect pivot range.
You need to dash one way and FLICK AS HARD AS YOU CAN in the opposite direction or else you will stationary dash.
Thanks for the tips, I'm gonna try it out at bedtime. What's happening at the moment is that I'm dashing twice (especially on the ending flick) so I think I'm just doing it wrong.
"Failings"?
Needlessly complicated movement options overshadowing the intended ones cannot be considered anything else.
It isn't needless because it has a purpose.
A) While I never said the motion was needless, it actually is. The game played fine without it.
It played fine, yes. But now it can play even better. This opens a world of possibilities.
- With this move, you slide a variable distance while being able to act and get hit at any time
Yes. A whole load of gamebreaking, controller breaking, thumb breaking possibilities.
Unfortunately, by definition of exploit, it is an exploit. Weather that has negative connotations is up to you.
Developers knew about the ability to retain momentum when airdodging into the floor in Melee just as they knew about the ability to retain momentum when ending a dash in Smash 4. In neither case were they aware that a set of inputs could be performed such that 90% of the motion involved could be ignored so as to capitalize on the momentum generated and use it as a form of movement in its own right.
Technically yes, it was in Brawl. That said though, Brawl didn't have nearly the level of dash momentum retention that SSB4 does. Try shielding out of dash in both games and you'll see why it's only viable in 4.
It doesn't overshadow anything. Each movement option serves a different purpose in high level play, so more options = more possibilities. There is nothing bad about that. Not to mention no one is forcing you to use it.
The game played fine without it yes, but it was significantly more limited. What's wrong with more options? Once again, no one is forcing you to use it.
Unintended depth does not break a game. If you don't want to stress your controller or thumb, simply don't use it. The level of difficulty just makes it more competitive, which is a good thing for competitive play.
I sank months worth of hours into Melee, to the point where I could 4 stock every AI opponent on lightning mode with no difficulty at all. I was not just good at the game but as good as anyone could be without facing real opponents.
This is a misconception. Difficulty of correct implementation and the thought that goes into knowing when that is are what make a mechanic good for the competitive scene, not input difficulty. L-cancelling was not good for the competitive scene, only the low landing lag that resulted was.
Competitive Melee fans were big into the glitchy stupid momentum abuse, hence why they want it back. The rest of us want them out of our new game.
