Fiction

[u/Jamarac]

It's pretty clear that dash dancing isn't in the game. Despite the lack of such a movement option, how did you guys find the movement in smash 4. Is it like Brawl or more fluid and less restricted like melee? Do you think no dash dancing will hurt the game?

[u/daniellee912 → u/Jamarac]

Dashing is really bad in the game. You can't crouch cancel or shield cancel the dash

[u/[deleted] → u/daniellee912]

It looks to me like Hbox was shield canceling in grand finals...

[u/VRCkid → u/[deleted]]

It looked like it but I think that might be force of habit. I'm not sure if he was actually canceling.

[u/sylinmino → u/VRCkid]

He did connect a ton of grabs with it though.

[u/kiddydong → u/sylinmino]

And with the shittiest throws, fuck yeah

[u/dkuo → u/kiddydong]

Kirby's upthrow kills so well now though.

And yeah, he definitely was doing shield cancels after post-dash.
