Your Favorite Technique

[Sebovich]

What are everbodys favourite Technical skill and why?
L-Cancel? SHL? Dash-Dancing? Wave Dash?

Me personally, I get goosebumps everytime I watch a Falcon player doing a good moonwalk. Not the most useful technique, but it looks so frickin slick!

I've always been a big fan of rolling

Remember when I first rolled in N64 and then learning to control it. Stepped up the game immediately!

 

[Spiffykins]

Reverse aerials in no particular rush.

That's when you do reverse aerials really late so they're safe on shield.

 

[Korrag]

L Canceling for sure, once I learned how to do it properly and not fail most of the time it was like a whole new door opened in terms of tech skill.

 

[Cubelarooso]

Dash-dancing. It's fun to do, both physically and mentally, and can make opponents seem amusingly undignified.

 

[Ogopogo]

Definitely L-canceling for me.

 

[Phantasmagorical]

I'm a big fan of RAR, particularly RAR wavedashes. Useful for a number of things but most apparently useful for fast edgehogs when coming from a further-away part of the stage. DACUS is also fun because it's underutilized for a lot of characters and looks pretty flashy.

Same! I love seeing people do that. I think my favorite might be some of the Luigi shenanigans that top Luigi players pull off, haha.

 

[PsionicSabreur]

Would Quick Attack Cancel be an appropriate choice?
While I can't claim I can reliably pull off a pivot Fsmash, that would probably be a close second. If not that I'd say L-cancel, did wonders for my Roy game.

 

[TreK]

Edit : nah, I can't decide on a single one.
wavebouncing, wavelanding, dash dancing or shffling. Take your pick.

Lucas's magnet pull, which is still in P:M, I found out the other day. It's even cooler now because he can DJ out of the magnet, for cool pseudo-airdashes->DJ movement.

 

[Professor Pro]

Snake's Box Taunt into C4 explosion, is that technique?
Can it be a technique?

 

[Xinc]

Wall jumping. :D

I also do enjoy B-bouncing or what you call it. Get some extra height with a B move?

 

[GHNeko]

My personal favorite is moonwalking. :V

Something about the input and the actual technique is extremely fun to do.

Yeah I agree, I havent learned to use it fully, but when you pull it of it´s very satisfying!

[Rikana]

Jab resets, multishining, pivot tilts, and the moment where you eletricute Samus and pause to see her naked polygonal body.

 

[SmashAmass]

I love wave dashing, it's just so satisfying to have that instantaneous advantage over your opponent's spacing, and it feels so rewarding to pull it off for a combo or a counter.

 

[Burnsy]

Favorite universal techniques: Moonwalking, taunt-cancelling, platform autocancel
Favorite character specific techniques: Lucas magnet pull and airdodge cancelling with his zair. Squirtle's shellshift.

I love advanced techniques

 

[Saito]

The Knee.

No exceptions.

 

[Nazo]

Running the timer.

 

[Strong Badam]

Favorite technique: DACUS
Least favorite technique: L-Canceling.

 

[Celestis]

L- Canceling and Wave Landing.

L - Canceling just feels so right. Makes me feel fluid.

Wave Landing also adds to the feeling of constant flow. I do it almost every time I hit the ground when i can.

 

[Alexo30]

Moonwalking and platform wavelanding... no wait the Haxdash is my favorite.

 

[Xinc]

I would like to put RAR on my favorites now. Falco is strong.

 

[Planet Piss]

Edge-cancelling has to be the sexiest maneuver known to smash. Offstage gimps takes a close second.

 

[Calzum!]

I wish tripping was in PM, best tech ever

 

[Neptune Shiranui]

Favorite universal techs: moonwalking, wavedashing
Favorite character techs: Spinshot and Side-b sweetspot with Sonic

Anything Fox Related

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

Samus Super Wavedash =P
Or on a more serious note, wavelanding on platforms with Ganon. I wish there was a stage with a bunch of vertical platforms so he could mix up his vertical approach... like the Bosspider in Megaman X.

 

[Rizner]

mind games.

what is wario ware?

 

[NWRL]

Dash dancing with Falcon.

I also like using his neutral B momentum reversal for some shenanigans.

dem double jump cancels

Super Wavedashing

 

[9bit]

As boring as it sounds, I think I have to go with just regular old wavedashing.

I think it changed the game the most out of all the advanced techniques I can think of. L-cancelling is great, but it was in 64 and I wouldn't exactly call it "advanced."

Wavedashing is what took Melee and propelled it to the next level and opened up a whole other world of gameplay. The game is so very based on movement and wavedashing is an incredible movement tool, especially when weaved in with other movement tricks. We took an accident and cared for it, nurtured it, until it defined entire characters. And wavedash OoS? Come on! How cool.

Casuals will be blown away if you start doing it, it's visually impressive (on some characters). It gives you an instant leg up against an opponent (if you're good at it -- that is, knowing when to use it). It is unique to Smash, as far as I know. It has become synonymous with competitive play. It's just so damn cool.

Also waveshine -_-

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

Good point. I was trying to think of a bigger stage, though. I'll make a mental note to practice there with Ganon.
