Wingdashing In depth

[lwin300]

I thought this was gonna be a demonstration of Charizard's dash animation

[TKDGabriel]

Slow technique and long delay. Can this be useful?

[MrLOL9999]

i think it should be called WingStepping instead.

[PhillArSeNaL]

what is dair?

[RoadToDawn51]

It's all good, but do you guys honestly have put "dash" in the title? Doesn't make sense to me, and "dash" is a bit overused.....

[Tevin538]

I guessing it can be used while running.

[SuperLearningCenter]

@RoadToDawn51 dont make me dash slap you

[Sasuke4Hokage]

I main pit and i can say that this techniques can be quite useful but it can be dangeous aswell. Its good cause you can attack out of it and if you do a short hop pit can bair faster but if you get hif of the edge after upb you get owned. Also when ur close his wings blow enemies away slightly

[kupo150]

not at all. Watch some matches of me or sagemoon to get an idea.

[velocity789]

very interesting thing i can't wait to see it used in a match

[blouistu101]

if you sprint and do what you see here and push foward you can go far, and immediatley go into wing reffreshing

[ssaaiixx]

sorry, but this is useless, i dont find any utility

[clayvision]

this is one of the most useful things with pit if played melee you remember wavedashing well it was taken out in brawl and now pit is the only one who can (kinda) do it

[ssaaiixx]

i have investigated about this, and this only is useful to separate the enemy, in brawl there isn't wavedash, you cant attack while you are doing that movement,it isnt useful

[clayvision]

yea but he can attack directly out of it so you can retreat and shoot an arrow or retreat and use an angel ring or dash forward and use a neutral combo the possibilities are pretty vast actually experiment i found some interesting things

[dansflamable]

If you don't understand the concept of spacing in this game then you should quit.

[hyuuganeji654]

I understand the concept. . . .but the thing that gets me is i cant seem to cancel out WoI. . . . .can u explain that to me. . . . .it would be greatly appreciated. . . . .

[kupo150]

You need to do a Dair (down air) before the second *shing.

[Hoidsa]

I saw this a while ago...I forgot about the dair part. I play Pit occasionally (I'm not good with him) and I tried wingdashing, but I couldn't figure it out. I'll have to try again with dair :)

[kupo150]

maybe try reconfiguring your controls. Change R to special or X/Y to special are two options and Cstick the Dair.

[Hoidsa]

nah, it had nothing to do with my controller, I just forgot exactly what you were supposed to do to wingdash. I tried it earlier (Basic Brawls/wifi practice room ftw) and I pretty much got it. Changing my controls would help though, but I've been playing default since forever so I'll be fine. Especially since I main Kirby, not Pit xD

[Iwaaaaaaaaaan]

WoI....

that's gona drive me nuts if I can't think of what that acronym stands for....

someone give me some help? :P

[kupo150]

wings of icarus (aka up b)

[Cpubot]

Does every advance tech name have to stem from the word wavedashing?

[kupo150]

lol apparently. It does resemble wavedashing really well. I offered the name up to the Pit community for help naming it so I didn't come up with it myself

[psinjo]

@Cpubot honestly, i think the reason for that is because many of the hardcore melee players miss wavedashing from brawl, it was an essential part of many, many strategies, and for that reason, everyone is always on a search to find a way to wavedash in brawl

[PowerOfKaishin]

So what's the point of wingdashing exactly?

[kupo150]

General spacing and dodging. Look in the description

[Lust34]

i do it but i nair i dont do the down air

[kupo150]

It just takes a little practice. Try using Down C.

[jjvirus]

Im new to Pit, and plan on alting him (my main is ROB) but how is this useful?

[kupo150]

It is. Maybe you should look at the other wingdashing vids as well as following the link in the description. Everything you need to know and anything I would say is in there.

^_^

[Thugzbunyyy]

U need a GC controller 4 this rite?

[kupo150]

No I use a mote/nunchuck which is the easiest but just configure your controller to do this comfortably. Dont forget you can use the C stick for the Dair

[Stryks89]

I can do it easily on both directions, tough u seem to cancel it a tad faster than i do, still one of pits best moves XD

[kupo150]

yea it is. I have trouble going forward just because it looks different then back lol. I need to practice the other directions

[hourofrandomeness]

in spectate zelda was wavedashing but i couldnt save replay =(

[headlessvik]

dam , i cnt do this, i can do jump up+b but just cant do a dair .. i do get it by fluke sometimes. this dont look so usefull, i mean , how can u even use it???

[kupo150]

lol, I have a little trouble with forward

[kupo150]

You are 112% correct. That is exactly what this is suppose to be. The timing and everything is basically the same and you can go in any direction and land without ANY lag.

I chose this direction for the instructional videos because I am best at it. I need a little more work with going forward and such but I'm doing pretty good.

[Sbladez]

the thing is i can go forward but backwards is my lil prob XD

[marth1990]

Correct me if im wrong, but is this just a way to move to another spot real quick like wavedashing?
