What is considered advance techniques?

[chucho]

Hello, I been reading around the forum and I have been reading about advance techniques and Dacus. As a new competive player i would like to know what is Advanced and what isnt?

As a general rule, "Not advanced" includes:

• Walking
• Running
• Standard Attacks
• Tilts
• Angled Tilts and Smashes
• Smashes
• Dash Attacks
• Special Moves
• Dodging (rolls, midair, and spot-dodge)
• Jumping
• Double-jumping
• Recovery technique
• Wall kicking
• Footstooling
• Grabbing
• Pummeling
• Throwing
• Tether recovery (for those who have it)

Which means Advanced techniques are pretty much the rest (Wavedashing, of Melee fame, or Z/L canceling from Melee and 64, wavelanding, double-jump-canceling, etc).

Basically, if it's in the manual, so to speak, it's not advanced. Most everything else is.

Edit: Here's an article about it on SmashWiki. Of course, more may be discovered in the future, but for now, that's a pretty good list. As the opening paragraph says, ATs are basically anything derived from a glitch or otherwise unexpected behavior, or (to avoid supreme backlash from some players), requiring a relatively high degree of technical skill.
