When should I be wavedashing as Ivysaur?

[Darkevilprice995]

Ivysaur's wavedash seems like it would be useful given it's solid distance but I'm not really sure where to put it into my game. Any advice?

Out of shield

Wavelanding the uair is badass

^I second that. I did it once in a local tourney, and it felt so satisfying <3.

You can use a wavedash for mindgames. Like we all know that most of Ivys rushdown methods involves jumping. (to me atleast) Sometimes a good player notices this habit of mine and punishes me. So in order to break his focus, I pretend to jump but wavedash instead. Sometimes it gets nerve wrecking for them.

i find the main use for ivys wavedash is to quickly close space and approach with tilts instead of having to dash cancel them which is a little more obvious. being a little out of range and wavedashing forward -> dtilt is a good neutral option

Personally I wavedash mostly when preparing to SH or something like that. Granted I need to wavedash more

I wavedash into ftilt and dtilt.

I mean, pretty much any character should use wavedashing, at least for the mindgaming and spacing aspects. You could do some interesting stuff with wavedash-back into Dtilt or FSmash, but I'm theorizing more than anything since I don't have tons of time to play recently
