Pseudo wavedash

A wavedash is a technique in Super Smash Bros. Melee that is perfromed by air dodging diagonally into the ground, causing the character to slide a short distance. Wavedashing is seen as an advanced technique superior to dashing because it allows players to perform any ground action while moving horizontally on the ground. Despite the huge influence it had from Melee, air dodging was not possible in Super Smash Flash and that deliberately nullified the possibilites for wavedashing.

Due to the change in air dodging physics in Super Smash Bros. Brawl characters are no longer able to wavedash. As Super Smash Flash 2 uses Brawl ' s air dodging physics, it is not possible to wavedash in this game as well. However, some characters are able to perform a pseudo (fake) wavedash in the game.

Characters who can pseudo wavedash

 * : He has a few options to pusedo wavedash. The most easiest method is to short hop a Spin Dash and use a external jump button when he lands while in holding down the special button. This has to be frame perfect in order for it to work. Discovered by GreaterMaelstrom March 10th, 2013.
 * : He has to short hop a forward aerial close to the ground and he will slide across the ground a little.
 * : He can do a psuedo wavedash move called by the Smash community the "Dragonic Reverse". This can be done by canceling the double jump animation with an attack close to the ground. He was able to perfrom this in Brawl as well and has to be frame perfect.
