At 5:02, after Megaman hits Mario with the Leaf we have what suspiciously looks like a waveland when Mario hits the ground, or something similar. Of course, we already know the Brawl Air Dodge has been confirmed, so quite frankly this leads to a ton of speculation.

Discuss theories and what possibilities we have here.

Also, if any can make a gif or something to study it further, PLEASE DO!

Holy **** that looked fast it looks like there is 0 landing lag when you land from idle animation.

Who was playing as Mario? Sakurai was Mega Man, I'm not sure if the Mario player knew about any advanced techniques, if he had used them.

He simply fell through the platform then dashed once he landed.

I thought it strange that they were able to dash immediately after landing, I doubt it will involve a complicated controller input though.

Interesting catch. Most of the time he does the forward air, it very clearly has landing lag though. Perhaps the move itself just recovers quickly and he's landing after the move has completed.

You're right, it definitely does depend on the camera used. If it were a real recording camera, it should have been 60fps interlaced and my source is progressive 30fps meaning a standard deinterlace took place. Proper deinterlacing using field blending shouldn't lose frame-by-frame data. Of course, with a phone all of this goes out the window and who knows..

If normal landing has no landing lag I'll be so happy. Extra mobility options should really help ensure this game is faster and more exciting to play as.

No landing lag at all gives you an awkward game with ridiculous punishment and an overly zealous and harsh environment (i.e. Smash 64).
That being said I like smash 64 and I think it'd be about perfect, speed wise, if it was toned down and added the new necessary technology or elements. 64 pace with Melee physics and a better defensive game (recovery possibly, OOS, SDI, DI etc.) sounds good to me.

Smash 4 right now is looking like it's going to be around 64 pace likely with less touch->death punishes.

Look like Mario recovered from an airdodge whilst falling slightly backwards, ended up in his standing animation while falling off the ledge.

This is nothing like a waveland.

Forget 5:02, check out 5:10. Looks like he wavedashes behind megaman!

Rolls stay facing the same side. He doesn't dip, he flips, look at that segment over and over and pay attention to his hat. (It's a bit hard to see because he goes through Megaman but just look at his hat).
