After ZeRo's sexy display of Diddy's movement in Evo GF I'd like to dig further into wavebouncing. I've always used it as a cute landing mix up with Mario, aerial mix ups with Wii Fit Trainer, and more extremely with Mii Gunner's triple B-reversing grenades and gundashing, but I'd never seen the real potential of it till Saturday. In a game with limited movement options, that is played mostly in the air, and landing is more difficult and dangerous than any other entry, I think aerial movement is extremely important.

So I'd like to ask who you guys think has great potential in their wavebounce and what exactly makes a good wavebounce? Is it the quickness of the move, its ability to be canceled immediately with air dodge, having multiple B moves that B-reverse into each other?

**Honorable Mention: Not Wavebounce, it's Ryu's Focus Attack-Dash Cancel (FADC) and very important to his gameplay.

Mewtwo has a big b-reverse with shadowball, and can b-reverse twice with confusion after it. I know diddy goes pretty far with a b reverse on the peanut popgun and the banana but I'm not sure if he can do one after another?

Mewtwo hands down has the best wavebounce with Side-B. Honestly ive only played him for a month now, but that movement option alone is so great for a heavy-hitter... it is a large part to the key to Mewtwo's full potential.

Diddy can do one after the other.

I think lucarios is the most useful though. Paired with his short hop, it's quick. You can trap your opponent in it, and is a pretty reliable kill setup with usmash.

Edit: I was talking about his aura sphere, if people didn't get that.
