Gliding


 * 105

Gliding is a technique introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and present in Super Smash Flash 2 for exclusive use for Sora, Meta Knight, Pit, Knuckles and possibly Goku, Vegeta and Mega Man. It allows the character to glide in the direction they are facing, and angle up or down. Once gliding, the character cannot turn around.

Peach's unique Floating ability is very similar, though it is not identical. Differences include the fact that it has timed usage, can be moved forward or back, and cannot change elevation. The player can activate Peach's ability by holding onto the jump button after jumping.

Gliding after using one's final mid-air jump will put one's character into a helpless state.
